His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

"Ms. Nova, your lucky days are just around the corner," Faithe's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Hang tight, I'll come find you and spill all the details in person."

After hanging up, Faithe headed to the design department.

Nova personally brewed her a cup of top-notch coffee, wearing a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes. "Faithe, what do you mean by 'lucky days?""

Faithe took the coffee from Nova, not rushing to answer. Instead, she first complimented Nova's outfit. "Ms. Nova, is that dress Chanel? It's gorgeous and makes you look like... well, like a lady of a grand estate."

"Faithe, quit teasing! Tell me already, what's this about lucky days?" Nova's anticipation was palpable. News from Faithe typically involved Casper.

Nova felt a lump in her throat from the overwhelming surprise. She had waited years for this moment. Finally, he was getting a divorce.

"Really?" she stammered.
