NovelEnglishChapter 607 Caleb flashed a knowing smile, grabbing a beer from the table and popping it open with ease. "Hey bro, just a heads-up. You've just reeled her in, and if you don't treat her right and keep her happy, you might just lose her..." Caleb's eyes landed on Eliza, who was in the middle of the dance floor, surrounded by a bunch of guys, dancing and having the tof her life.
In a blink, she could slip away.
Casper's face was as dark as a storm cloud.
His gaze was laser-focused on the woman in the dance floor, who was all smiles, while his fists clenched so tightly they creaked.
On the surface, Eliza seemed to be enjoying herself.

The guys buzzing around her like pesky flies made her feel stifled.
And then she bumped into someone she really didn't want to see. Summer, Casper's secretary.
Eliza had hoped to avoid eye contact, to act like she hadn't seen her.
But Summer, sharp-eyed as ever, grabbed Eliza's arm. "Aren't you Mr. Casper's relative? What's your nagain... Elle, right? Last tyou threw a fit in Mr. Casper's office, and I got chewed out because of it. You've got snerve." Eliza shook off Summer's hand, not wanting to get into it.
But Summer wasn't backing down. "You're really something, sneaking into Mr. Casper's lounge, messing with his stuff? What are you, his mom? His sister? It's none of your business who he's with, especially since it isn't you." "Not with me, so it's you then?" Eliza had never seen someone so desperate for attention. "Summer, you're Casper's secretary, not his wife. What's with the superiority complex?" "A secretary and a CEO, aren't they a perfect match?" Summer, standing tall at 5'8", looked down her nose at Eliza. "Someone your age, Mr. Casper would never go for." Eliza let out a dry laugh.
Fresh out of college, and the confidence is sky-high.
Sure, being young is an edge, but without smarts, not many would be interested.
"Okay." She left that single word hanging, then turned away.
Summer blinked in surprise.
Did she just get an "Okay"? What was that supposed to mean? Was she being looked down on? Eliza returned to her seat and ordered a cocktail.
Chelsea, equally sweaty, cback and plopped down, asking, "Who were you talking to?" "That woman is Casper's secretary. After Dillon left, she stepped in temporarily. Maybe got too big for her boots, lost sight of her place." Chelsea's eyes widened. "Did she give you a hard time?" "Not really, I don't take her seriously." Eliza took a small sip of her drink, her eyes a mix of sadness and longing. Chelsea put an arm around her, "For a guy like Casper, it's not worth it Just look around, there are plenty of young, good-looking guys here, any of them better than him." "You're right," Eliza chuckled softly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmA college-aged guy shyly approached, "Hi, can I get to know you?" The guy was fresh-faced, with clear eyes, definitely giving off that naive college student vibe.
"Hello," Eliza smiled warmly.
"Mind if I add you on WhatsApp?" He held out his phone, showing his WhatQR code. Eliza didn't hesitate. "Sure." She smiled as she pulled out her phone...
Upstairs, a man was grinding his teeth in frustration, itching to storm downstairs, but Caleb held him back. "Broxbro, chill. It's just a Whatadd, no biggie." Caleb had just managed to keep Casper from losing it.
Then Summer popped up in front of Eliza, snatching the phone from the boy's hand.
With a frosty glare, she shot daggers at Eliza. "You can't snag Mr. Casper, so you're going after my boyfriend now? Have you seen yourself You're almost old enough to be his mom." "Summer, what's wrong with you?" The boy tried to retrieve his phone, his face souring. "We broke up ages ago. What's your deal?"
"Johnny, are you blind? Chasing after any older woman? Even if you om wanted to annoythis is low." Eliza had no clue what the deal was between Summer and the boy in front of her.
