"Oh, by the way, you can call me too, right? You have my number?" Nigel said casually as he snatched Calliope's phone and added his contact without waiting for a response.

Calliope just stood there, speechless.

"You guys, be nice to my lifesaver here. If you're not, I'll deal with you myself!" Nigel declared before heading out the door.

Monty and the group fell silent, clearly intimidated by Nigel's warning. They exchanged glances and then turned their eyes back to Calliope.

"No wonder you chose this place for dinner. Did you know Nigel would be here all along?" Another member chimed in.

Zelda leaned in, her eyes narrowed. "So, are you going to help us or not? And what about Lisette? Are you going to get her out?"

"Callie, I'm begging you. Please help us," Monty pleaded, his eyes hopeful.

"I already told you my terms, didn't I? Give me the company, and I'll save it. Otherwise, it's not my problem," Calliope replied calmly.

"Callie, stop being so ridiculous!" Monty sighed, clearly frustrated. "Running a company isn't child's play. You've been a stay-at-home wife, you wouldn't understand."
