Chapter 318
Calliope received a phone call in the car. Something had come up unexpectedly, and she needed Silas to drop her off somewhere.
“Do you want me to go talk to Dante?” Silas asked, still a bit concerned as he drove.
“No need,” Calliope shook her head.
If Dante really wanted to find her, he would know about her connection with Silas.
If he wanted to reach out to Silas, he’d do it himself. She recalled how Dante looked at her, thinking maybe he just needed some time.
“Okay,” Silas didn’t press further. Instead, he pulled out his phone and handed it to Calliope.
“What’s up?” Calliope asked, puzzled, glancing from the phone to Silas.
“When you went to see Dante, Lisette must have seen you. She texted me,” Silas explained, looking at Calliope.
Calliope looked at the photo and rolled her eyes, exasperated.
“Does she think there’s something between me and Dante p>
She looked up at Silas suddenly. “You don’t think that too, do you p>
Before she could explain, Silas silenced her with a gentle finger on her lips.
“There’s no need to explain anything. No matter the situation, I’m on your side. I trust you,” Silas said, his eyes full of unwavering trust.
Calliope leaned into him, appreciating the warmth of his trust.
She couldn’t help but remember her past with Gideon. He always doubted her every other day.
On the contrary, Silas had never questioned her, even though he knew she worked in a diner full of guys. He made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
Leaning against his chest, she listened to the steady beat of his heart, feeling a comforting sense of security. Silas gently stroked her hair.
Before long, they had reached her destination. Calliope sat up, playfully gave Silas a quick peck on the

cheek, and darted car.
Silas blinked in surprise and touched his cheek where Calliope had kissed him, unable to suppress a smile.
He turned to watch her dash away, his eyes filled with amusement. She’d been spontaneous-and shy about it.
Even Fagan could sense Silas was in a good mood. The car’s atmosphere was unusually cheerful.
“Mrs. Myers is adorable,” Fagan couldn’t help but comment.
Ever since Calliope became Mrs. Myers, it seemed like their boss was always in a good mood. He used to be quick to anger, but now his outbursts were fewer, and he was even kind to everyone.
“Adorable?” Silas looked over.
Fagan felt a chill run down his spine He cleared his throat, quickly changing the subject, “Mr. Myers, we have a client to meet this
Shall we head there now
Silas grunted, “Keep your eyes to yourself p>
“Huh p>
“She’s so adorable. What if you start liking her p>
Fagan was speechless. Should he just blind himself now? How could he avoid seeing Calliope every time?
With that, Fagan drove Silas away.
Meanwhile, Gideon watched from a distance, slowly rolling up his car window.
Calliope had never acted like that with him. He couldn’t help but feel a twinge of envy toward Silas.
