"Nigel, you better stop dreaming," Silas muttered, his tone cold as glanced at Nigel. With Calliope's hand firmly in his, he headed for the door.
"Ms. Jewell, I'll take care of what you asked me to do," Nigel called out, craning his neck for effect. "Let's grab a meal sometime to show my thanks."
Calliope didn't dare to respond. She could feel the storm brewing around Silas. He was upset.
She knew the rivalry between Nigel and Silas well. While they weren’t exactly sworn enemies, their relationship was complicated. They had once been brothers in arms. It was a fact few knew, and she had stumbled upon it by accident. She was sure Silas would grieve if Nigel died.
Portia flashed Nigel a quick smile, waved goodbye, and hurried to catch up with Calliope and Silas.
Out in the hallway, Calliope noticed the lineup of bodyguards. Nigel's men stood against the wall, staring down Silas's crew in a tense standoff. Damien and Fagan were there, too, nodding respectfully at her.
Shocked by the scene, Portia cautiously followed behind Calliope and Silas.
As they reached the elevator, with Silas and Calliope at the front, Portia stood behind them, flanked by Fagan and Damien and a sea of bodyguards. It was quite the spectacle. Anyone thinking of joining them in the elevator reconsidered quickly.
Calliope could feel the tension and glanced up at Silas.
"Are you mad?" she ventured. "I can explain. I had a reason to ask Nigel for help. I couldn't stand by and let someone die. It wasn't just because it was Nigel. I would've done the same for a stranger."
"Don't be mad, okay?" she pleaded.

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 !!!...
