A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust novel Chapter 210

"That Calliope, huh? She's got quite the reputation. Rumor has it she didn't even finish school before getting expelled. No degree, no decent job, and when she tried working for the Jewell Group, they kicked her out."

"Let's drop it, okay? Mr. Myers must have his reasons. Let's not say too much."

"Yeah, Mr. Myers seems to fancy her. Maybe she's just got a way with men!"

Even though no one thought much of Calliope, they didn't dare say more considering how protective Silas was of her.

Calliope, well aware of the murmurs, didn't really care. She calmly sat in the office, munching on an apple while occasionally glancing at Kelda, who just wrapped things up.

Kelda, unable to let it go, stared at Calliope. "I don't see what's so special about you, besides being a bit pretty. But Silas doesn't strike me as the shallow type. Surely, he sees more than just looks."

Not minding Kelda's gaze, Calliope raised an eyebrow. "Whatever the case, you still owe me three favors."

"Ugh!" Kelda huffed. "Fine, what do you want?"

"Haven't decided yet. But once I think of some, you'll be the first to know," Calliope said with a smile.

"I’m warning you, don't push it." Kelda shot Calliope a stare before turning to leave.

A short while later, the door swung open. Calliope assumed it was Silas, but as she glanced up, she saw Gideon.

"Uncle..."

Gideon barely started when his gaze settled on Calliope; he was momentarily stunned, frowning, surprise Calliope was in Silas's office.
