His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

He smirked slightly. "That's not entirely true. There were some regrets and misunderstandings."

Eliza adjusted her clothes and hair, flashing a disinterested smile. "No wonder."

"No, thank you. I've already called for a ride. It should be here soon." Eliza instinctively stepped back, her tone polite but distant.

"In that case, I won't bother you further." Casper's voice was gentle and deep. The window rolled up, and the car slowly drove off. Dillon, sitting in the passenger seat, was stunned. "Mr. Casper, was that..."
