A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

7 Chapter 17 At the breakfast table , Calliope glanced at Silas , words hanging on the tip of her tongue .

If youve got something to say , just say it .

I dont bite , Silas remarked , his eyes lifting slightly with a hint of mischief .

Treat me like you would anyone else .

Its not that Im afraid of you … Calliope raised her head .

Its just- Im not quite used to it yet .

Youll get used to it in time , Silas assured her .

Lets have breakfast first .

Afterward , Ill introduce you to a few people .

Okay , Calliope mumbled , focusing on her breakfast of pancakes and maple syrup .

Silas watched her with a gentle patience , a slight smile playing on his lips .

He would help her adjust .

Slowly but surely , she would come to know him better .

This time , he wouldnt let her slip away .

After breakfast , Calliope was led out to the courtyard outside the main house .

To her surprise , she found a group of people already gathered there .

Morning , maam ! Calliope froze .

She had heard whispers about the people who resided in Myers Manor- expert hackers , lethal martial artists , and fiercely loyal subordinates who had been with Silas for years .

She had assumed these people were part of Silass secret world , and she never expected him to introduce her to them so openly .

Go ahead , introduce yourselves to the lady , Silas instructed , his gaze sweeping over the assembled group .

Good day , maam .

Im Damien , head of security .

These men behind me make up our bodyguard team , Damien spoke up first .

Calliopes gaze flicked to the squad standing at attention , each one looked battle hardened , their presence exuding raw capability .

Damien is a former world martial arts champion , Silas added .

His combat skills and marksmanship are second to none .

He oversees the security of Myers Manor and ensures my safety .

All the bodyguards are under his command .

If you need anything , just let him know .

Maam , Im York , a hacker , and not to brag , but Im the best in the business .

Ive been working with Mr.

Myers for a while now .

If you run into any tech troubles , feel free to ask me , York introduced himself , standing next to Damien .

Good day , maam .

Im Galen , a general practitioner .

I can handle most medical concerns you might have .

If you ever feel under the weather , Im here to help .

Silas glanced at Galen and interjected , She wont be needing you .

Calliope shot Silas a curious look .

What did he mean by that ? Not many knew she was the last apprentice of a legendary healer , and ever since that incident , she hadnt practiced medicine .

How could Silas possibly be aware of this ? One by one , Silass team introduced themselves .

They were all top tier experts in their fields .

Calliope didnt mind getting to know them .

She figured there might be opportunities to learn from each other .

After the introductions , they exchanged contact information .

Calliope stammered , not quite sure what to say .

Theres no need to be so formal with me , Silas said softly .

Calliope looked up at Silas , her eyes meeting his .
