"In truth, the sale of this property has been on the table for more than a day or two. If it's suitable, three days should be enough to consider," he offered her a graceful exit. Eliza nodded gratefully. "Yeah, okay."

"You've really transformed into a powerhouse, nothing like the little Eliza I used to know." David handed her a glass of juice, admiration shining in his eyes.

Eliza felt a pang of guilt. She wouldn't have to wear her ambition so openly if it weren't for that million dollars she needed.

"I'm not some powerhouse. Life has just pushed me to be this way."

"I've heard about what your family has gone through these past few years."

He had discreetly gathered information, always quietly keeping tabs from the shadows. He wouldn't have reached out if there hadn't been a better opportunity. Running into her today was a surprise. Eliza's lips curved slightly, not wanting to delve further. "I should head back then. Think it over."

"Alright, let me walk you out."

David walked Eliza to the door. After a few pleasantries, she lifted the hem of her dress and headed toward Casper's car.

"Old flame?" Her smile was laced with defiance, her eyes scornful, "Mr. Casper, you're just trying to leverage David's past feelings for me to achieve your goals, aren't you?"

"Exactly." His fingers interlocked in front of him, a mocking smile on his lips. "Did you bring any good news?"
