NovelEnglishChapter 604 "You've been through Nova, Casper, but I'm not the one with amnesia here." Casper looked a bit sheepish. "What I'm saying is, don't you think this whole thing is a bit odd?" After all, no one's been in this lounge since it got its facelift.
Eliza wasn't in the mood to play detective.
To her, the reason was crystal clear.
It was just Casper being, well, Casper. A leopard doesn't change its spots.
He was never up to any good.
"Let go of me." She mustered all her strength to break free from his grip, her anger flaring. "Casper, letgo. Can't you understand plain English?" "Elle..." "Don't callthat. You're makingsick." Eventually, Casper gave in, and she stormed out of his office, her anger still simmering.
