"Mr. Myers, Gideon is here," Fagan announced, poking his head into the office where Silas was buried in a pile of paperwork.
Silas looked up briefly, raising an eyebrow. "He's here?"
"Yes, he mentioned he has something important to discuss with you. Should I let him in?"
Silas nodded. "Let him in."
"Right away," Fagan turned and left the room.
A few minutes later, Gideon knocked and entered Silas's office. The main office of the headquarters was, unsurprisingly, far more impressive than his own.
Gideon glanced around the room as he walked in. As a matter of face, he rarely visited his uncle's domain.
Despite their minimal age difference, Silas exuded an inherent authority that made the gap feel vast.
In the eyes of their family, Silas was more of a legend than a mere mortal. The Baker Group, while named after the family, was essentially Silas's empire. The company wasn't always the formidable force it was now. It was Silas's leadership that transformed a teetering business into a powerhouse that commanded both respect and fear.
To the younger generation, Silas was untouchable. None of the Baker family members were foolish enough to challenge him directly.
Gideon included. He was intimidated by Silas, who always seemed a bit distant and unapproachable.
But today, for Calliope's sake, he had to confront his uncle.
"Uncle Silas," Gideon greeted softly after closing the door, stepping up to Silas's desk.
Silas didn’t immediately respond, his attention still on his documents. This left Gideon feeling a bit anxious.
"Uncle Silas, come on, don't joke around. I know Callie isn't to your taste. You wouldn't compete with your nephew over a woman!" Gideon chuckled nervously. "Besides, Callie loves me. She turned to you out of spite. I understand we've inconvenienced you, and that's on us.
I won't trouble you anymore. I'll take Callie back and clear things up with everyone. You were just helping out, nothing more."
Silas leaned back in his chair, his expression unchanged, the collar of his shirt open just enough to show a hint of his attractive collarbone, and his hands casually clasped together. He looked at Gideon with a hint of amusement.
"You think I'm playing house with you?"
"No," Gideon felt the intensity of Silas's gaze and swallowed hard.
"Do you think I care about what others say?" Silas asked again.

The readers' comments on the novel: A Reborn Bride Pearl Emerging from Dust
Oh wrestling expert ey? So is this Khamzat Chimaev or Shavkat Rakhmonov? Because Khabib's would be too haram....
Oh no. Million is just mix of Conor McGregor, Islam Makhachev, Mike Tyson, Max Holloway, Anderson Silva... I bet he lands 5sec flying knees like Jorge Masvidal too. Oh nope, 1sec knees. And has faster left hooks than Alex Pereira. Definitely would win UFC championship in every weight division including women. Poor Zhang Weili....
Okay so.... Million is now from East. Arctic wolf from East, modified genetically so he can manage his own Instagram and probably also box like Mike Tyson and snapping left hooks like Alex Pereira....
This is starting to be the same twister of abilities as Cassandra Yates and Tiffany. But question is, why the hell Silas can't just open his mouth and tell Caliope that she's the one whom he has in his heart. He would prevent a lot of misunderstanding. Seems like despite capability of talking with modified arctic wolf, she's not like telepathic....
Oh no, so FL is again another hidden genius with both hemispheres working on hundreds... Ffffuuuu. Cassandra Yates and Tiffany were already enough, ughugh. And Tiffany was even more exaggerated than Cassandra....
That's weird, in the first chapters there was said that her bio parents and bros doteď on Caliope but then they adopted Lisette, but this chapter suddenly says otherwise. Did author forget what he wrote?...
I REALLLYYY REALLLYYYY REALLYYYYYY WANT TO SLAP THE 3 BROTHERS WHENEVER THEY OPEN THEIR MOUTH !!! AND THEIR MOM !!!...
