His Destructive, Toxic Love novel Chapter 732

"Want me to give you a lift?"

"No thanks, I'll just grab a cab." She politely turned down his offer.

Eliza flagged down a taxi and headed to the address Dillon had texted her. The place was a breeze to find, boasting a grand entrance and top-notch decor. Just as she was about to walk in, someone stopped her.

"Ma'am, our spa operates on a membership basis. We require a financial check; it's not open to everyone."

Eliza was taken aback. She'd never heard of needing a financial check just to use a spa.

"I'm here to visit someone," she said, not wanting to get into it with the staff, "Do I need a financial check for that too?"

"Well, in that case... no. May I know which member you’re here to see?" The staff member was all business, tapping away on a tablet. "Please, the member's name?"

"Casper."

The receptionist's demeanor shifted slightly. Dillon had given her a heads-up earlier. Anyone asking for Casper was to be let through without hassle.

"You're here for Mr. Casper? He's in the Emerald Pool on the third floor. You can head right up." She gave Eliza a strained smile and gestured her forward. "Watch your step, be careful."

Eliza: ...

This spa was nestled in a volcanic crater. The rough rocks and evident geothermal heat made the third-floor spa pool, nestled at the spring's outlet and surrounded by lush greenery, feel like a hidden paradise.

Casper lounged in the pool, a towel draped over his face.

"Sir, would you like some freshly squeezed juice?"

"No." His voice was cold and impatient; he didn't like interruptions.

"It's really good, made from organic fruits. Maybe just a sip?"

"Go away." He barked.

She wrapped herself in the bathrobe, then took his hand and eased into the pool. The water was hot, and she kept the robe on, just in case.

He laughed softly, peeking at her through the steamy mist. "No one's coming in."

He wrapped his arms around her, pulling her close and burying his face in her neck. Her scent was soothing, a calming balm to his soul.

"Where were you today? Brian mentioned you were out." He asked casually.

She was upfront, not holding back.

She didn't see why he was inquiring, but she laid out her day for him without reservation.
