Monty was left speechless. Calliope had just laid it all out, no holds barred. By the end of it, he was left completely at a loss.
He knew deep down that everything Calliope said was spot on. He was utterly floored. Even though she hadn't been around the office much, she seemed to have an uncanny understanding of the company's ins and outs.
She was sharper than him, sharper even than Horatio, who had been working there for years. They had always dismissed her, calling her a jinx, a waste of space. Yet here she was, impressively capable and commanding.
She nailed every issue with precision, decisive and efficient. Problems that had been festering for ages seemed simple to her, with solutions she came up with in the blink of an eye.
And then there were those things Monty always wanted to do but never dared. But when she laid it out, it all made so much sense.
"Uh, well... since you're handling things now, you should take care of these issues."
The thought of firing people made him uncomfortable. Some were long-time employees, and he didn't want to be the bad guy.
Calliope gave Monty a sidelong glance. "Afraid of ruffling feathers, are you?"
Monty felt like a schoolboy caught doing something wrong, sheepishly silent.
"I can propose the ideas, but you have to back me up," Calliope said coolly. "At the board meeting, you need to speak up, or I'll wash my hands of the company."
"You can't do that!"
Monty genuinely believed that Calliope was the key to the company's future. She had the chops to turn everything around. If she stepped away, the company was likely doomed.
Before, he had been reluctant, hesitant to hand over the reins. But now, thinking it through, if Calliope took charge and the company thrived, he'd still benefit without lifting a finger.
Besides, she promised not to touch Horatio's position or others' like him. So, really, it was a win-win. A thriving company meant everyone won.
Monty had come to his senses. He was eager to let Calliope take the wheel, at least for now.

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 !!!...
