His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

The next morning, before Eliza headed to work, Aaron found her. There was no need to guess why-she knew it was about last night's incident in the private room. "Aaron, I'm really sorry about what happened...”

She had heard Casper had broken the furniture in the private room the previous night. Today, she was planning to discuss the compensation for the damage with her boss. "No, it's me who should apologize. I didn't expect Casper to bring such men and cause you trouble. That was my oversight."

Aaron looked genuinely remorseful. He adjusted his glasses, pushing them up on the bridge of his nose. "Do you need me to find you another job?"

"No, it's okay." She knew it would be the same anywhere.

"I'll talk to Casper about this."

Eliza had no faith in Casper; she just gave a faint smile.

"Oh, and by the way, I'm visiting Hope Hospital today. If there's anything you need me to do, just let me know," Aaron said.

Hope Hospital was the local clinic. Since her mother had been admitted, she had only managed to call a few times and had never found the time to visit.
