"I haven't been hiding anything from you. Didn't I mention it before? She was trying to connect Welton International with Allysha..." He was losing his cool, tossing his phone onto the table. "...I've already blocked her. What more do you want from me?"

"Casper!!" Eliza was baffled by his anger. It was clearly his issue. Her eyes were wide with disbelief. "Are you seriously getting mad at me? It was a woman messaging you, not a man messaging me."

"I'm not mad at you. I've blocked her; she won't be able to message anymore. What else do you need me to say? There's nothing going on between us, not like what you're thinking."

The more he tried to explain, the more irritated he became, eventually kicking over the trash can next to him.

The loud "bang" made Eliza's heart jump.

Was he not even trying to hide his anger anymore?

Was he really starting to take it out on her, without even trying to mask his emotions?

Or was this Kate someone special to him, and just mentioning her set him off? "Fine, whatever." She got up from the bed, needing some space to clear her head.

She changed her clothes, grabbed her phone and purse, ready to head to the office.

He caught her arm, closing the bedroom door with a firm hand, trying to calm himself, "I'm not mad at you. I'm just frustrated with myself. I feel like I'm not doing enough to make you happy. It's my fault, okay?"

Really?
