Eliza shook her head slightly. "It's fine. I can handle it." "Con, don't be so formal with me," Juan said, glancing toward the kitchen. "Casper's making dinner for you. Seems like he still cares." "He just feels sorry for me, thinking I'm helpless. Don't start any rumors. He's engaged to Susan," Eliza replied, not wanting any model.
