His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

After Easton's driver pulled away, Casper floored it and followed right behind. If the car ahead sped up, he did, too. If it slowed down, so did he. Finally, the car turned into the underground parking lot of the Falconridge Hotel. Casper zoomed ahead and parked in a spot, eyes locked on Easton and Eliza getting out of the car opposite him.

His phone rang from the passenger seat. It was Nova. She knew about tonight's business dinner, but he hadn't invited her.

"Casper, where are you? Still at work?"

"Is something up?"

"Did you go to the dinner?" Her voice was soft and melodious, but it still got on his nerves. "If you need something, just say it."

"Are you annoyed with me?"

"No, I'm hanging up." Casper watched as Easton and Eliza headed for the elevator lobby.

He hurried to hang up, but then Nova started crying on the other end. "Did I disturb you? I'm sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. I just wanted to check on you. If you find it annoying, I promise not to bother you again."

The call ended abruptly.
