Brian let out a little laugh. "Ms. Eliza, I gotta say, Mr. Casper has it bad for you. He's genuinely worried about you. You've had him cooling his heels outside the thirteenth floor for ages, and he hasn't even thrown a fit. Any other CEO would've blown the roof off by now."

Eliza's eyelashes lowered gently. Was she being too tough on him? Probably not. The thirteenth floor wasn't part of Welton International, and Casper didn't have any business barging in. Sure, if he tried, no one would stop him, but he didn't. In that way, he did respect her.
