A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 210 That Calliope , huh ? Shes got quite the reputation .

Rumor has it she didnt even finish school before getting expelled .

No degree , no decent job , and when she tried working for the Jewell Group , they kicked her out .

Lets drop it , okay ? Mr.

Myers must have his reasons .

Lets not say too much .

Yeah , Mr.

Myers seems to fancy her .

Maybe shes just got a way with men ! Even though no one thought much of Calliope , they didnt dare say more considering how protective Silas was of her .

Calliope , well aware of the murmurs , didnt 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 dont see whats so special about you , besides being a bit pretty .

But Silas doesnt strike me as the shallow type .

Surely , he sees more than just looks .

Not minding Keldas gaze , Calliope raised an eyebrow .

Whatever the case , you still owe me three favors .

Ugh! Kelda huffed .

Fine , what do you want ? Havent decided yet .

But once I think of some , youll be the first to know , Calliope said with a smile .

Im warning you , dont 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 Silass office .

What are you doing here ? Gideon asked , displeasure evident in his tone .

Is it so strange for me to be in my husbands office ? He even said he might hand over the company to me , Calliope replied , taking another bite of her apple and eyeing Gideon .

What ? Gideon looked at her , disbelief written all over his face .

Hand the company over to you ? Are you dreaming ? Do you think my uncle is a fool ? Hes no fool , but he did say that , Calliope shrugged .

Hes a good man .

Much better than you , at least .

You … Gideon inhaled sharply .

My uncle is just stringing you along .

The Baker Group doesnt even bear his name .

What makes you think he can gift it to you ? He stepped closer , towering over Calliope .

Calliope , my uncle will tire of you soon enough .

Dont be so smug .

Am I being smug ? Calliope said innocently , I dont feel it at all .

You came here just to flaunt your status , didnt you ? Gideon chuckled .

You think being Mrs.

Myers will earn you respect ? No one will like you .

You have no background , no education , no skills .

My uncles interest in you is just a passing fancy .

And others wouldnt even lay an eye on you .

Everyones waiting for the day you become the laughingstock .

Theyre all waiting to see you ditched .

And the Baker Group has nothing to do with you ! Gideon leaned in , his face inches from Calliopes .

His eyes locked onto hers , and he felt his heart race with an unfamiliar impulse .

There was a voice in his mind kiss her .

Her lips looked so inviting , soft and tempting … His uncle must have tasted them , right ? Yet , despite having dated her for so long back in the day , he realized he never had the chance .
