His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 522

"With Manuel," she admitted openly.

A subtle frown flickered across the man's face before it transformed into a sarcastic grin. "Italian food, huh? Must've been pretty good."

Eliza was caught off guard. He knew she had gone out with Manuel.

It was clear he was just trying to stir things up. "Are you stalking me now?"

"No need for that. Just a quick phone call and I know what's up," he replied coolly, taking another drag from his cigarette and exhaling slowly.

Eliza smirked slightly, "Maybe next time, I'll bring you along."

"You're quite the generous one," he chuckled dryly.

Eliza couldn't quite grasp what his problem was. Her good mood quickly turned sour. "It's just dinner. What's the big deal?"

"Eliza, it's not just any dinner. It's dinner with Manuel," he said, his eyes filled with confusion and a hint of reproach. "I spent the whole day discussing Robin's surgery with Dr. Peels. I haven't eaten a thing, and I made dinner waiting for you. Instead, you went out with him. Couldn't you at least have given me a heads-up?"

Eliza realized she had been a bit thoughtless.

She was so used to her own routine, it didn't occur to her that Casper would be waiting to have dinner together.

Her gaze softened with an apology, "The reason I had dinner with Manuel is because..."

She wanted to explain.
