A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging From Dust Novel

Chapter 324 And so , Calliope ended up spending a small fortune on that diamond cross necklace .

She and Franco went through the paperwork , and once the necklace got nicely wrapped , she casually tossed it into her purse .

Ms.

Jewell- Franco began , causing Calliope to jump back a few steps .

She eyed him warily .

Whats up ? Youre not going to dump more work on me , are you ? Ive done plenty today ! No , no ! Francos eyelid twitched , slightly exasperated at her reaction .

Ive cut down your workload a lot ! You couldve done it yourself ! Calliope said earnestly , looking Franco in the eye .

I trust you 100 % ! Youre not worried I might run off with your money ? Franco chuckled , shaking his head in disbelief .

Theres something called trust between people , and I trust you ! Calliope declared with utmost seriousness .

Even if you took off with my money , thats on me for being blind ! Franco was speechless .

Okay , Im done here .

Ive got to go now .

Dont call me if theres nothing urgent ! With that , Calliope turned on her heel and dashed off .

Franco watched her leave , shrugging his shoulders with resignation .

Once outside the club , Calliope stretched lazily and breathed a sigh of relief .

She had never liked this place because Franco always seemed to find her and load her up with tasks .

Thankfully , things went smoothly today .

Calliope had everything sorted out and got what she came for .

She thought , Silas is going to love this necklace .

Thinking of Silass reaction when he receives it made her smile .

Silas often surprised her with gifts , and now it was her turn to surprise him .

As she was about to get into her car , she noticed Gideon approaching from the corner of her eye .

Quickly , she turned her head the other way , pretending not to see him , and prepared to get into her car .

You saw me , Gideons displeased voice broke through .

Calliope paused with her hand still on the car door and turned with a tilt of her head to look at him .

Listen , Gideon , we dont have anything to talk about .

Isnt it better to pretend we dont know each other ? But I dont want to pretend , Gideon took a few steps closer , leaning an arm against her car window in a flirting move .

Calliope deftly ducked under his arm , escaping his attempt at suave .

Gideon was speechless to see that .

If you have something to say , say it .

Dont pull these cheesy stunts .

Save them for Yvette .

They suit her better .

Calliope was all serious .

So , what do you want to say ? Callie , I still love you .

Gideons words almost made Calliope choke on yesterdays dinner .

What did you say ? She wondered if she was hearing things .

Was she not only deaf but also hallucinating ? I said , I still love you .

Gideon looked up , suddenly wearing an expression of deep emotion .

Callie , its always been you from the beginning to the end .

I want you back .

What do I need to do to make that happen ? If you 1/2 13:56 Chapter 324 think I was wrong , Ill get down on my knees and beg for forgiveness .

He was the picture of sincerity .

Calliope thumped her chest to settle her stomach , Phew , that almost brought last nights dinner back up .

Gideon , are you trying to make me sick on purpose ?
