His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 745

"Hey, what brings you here?" Eliza asked, closing the file and handing it over to Gabe. "I think we're pretty much set. If anything needs tweaking, Brian will let you know."

"Got it," Gabe replied, taking the file. He nodded at Casper and then turned to Eliza. "I won't keep you any longer, I'm heading out."

"Brian, could you show Mr. Gillum the way out?" Eliza requested.

"Of course. This way, Mr. Gillum," Brian said as he escorted Gabe out and closed the door behind him.

Eliza stood up, walked over to Casper, and looked up with a slight tilt of her head. "What's up now? You look like you've got a storm cloud over your head. Did you come here to blow off some steam?"

"Eliza, can't you be a bit more mindful?" Casper was visibly upset.

He felt that Eliza and Gabe's relationship had ventured beyond the usual boundaries of business partners.

Eliza blinked, confused. "Mindful of what?"

"Can't you keep a bit of distance from Gabe?" he insisted. Their faces were nearly touching, and she seemed oblivious.

Casper didn't want to get worked up, but seeing them like that made it tough to stay calm. "Even if it's work, you don't need to be that close, right?"

Eliza genuinely hadn't noticed. Some of the print was tiny, and she couldn't see it from afar.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't realize. I promise to be more careful next time. Can we let it slide this once, Mr. Casper?"
