His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

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 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?"
