"Lance, why don't you take a seat? What kind of coffee do you like? I'll have someone whip up a cup for you," Monty said, trying to sound as accommodating as possible.
Lance shot him a look. "Dude, you are seriously annoying."
He didn't even bother to glance at Monty or the others, keeping his eyes fixed on Calliope instead.
"Hey, Callie, who are these weirdos? Are they your family or something? I never even heard you had family—I figured they were all dead and gone!"
He gave the run-down office a once-over. "Why are you even working at a dump like this?"
"If you’re so into running a company, I could just buy you one, you know!"
"Seriously, just let someone else handle this mess for you and come with me already. Weren’t we supposed to head out together?"
Lance rattled on, barely pausing for breath.
Calliope ignored him, laser-focused on her work.
Finally, without even looking up, she said, "Lance, if you don't shut your mouth, I'm gonna shove a couple of dirty socks in it!"
Lance blinked. He shot upright from his chair.
Turning to Monty and the others, he said, "Alright, you three, come entertain me. I’ve got nothing better to do, and who knows how long Callie’ll be stuck working."
"Absolutely, it's our pleasure!" Monty replied eagerly. He was determined to leave a good impression. If JK Group ever ended up working with the Jewell Group, that’d be a dream come true.
Lance dragged all three of them over to play a game.
"Ever played poker?" he asked, pulling out a deck of cards.

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 !!!...
Why has this not been updated ?? there were 5 more chapters which was released and it has not been updated.. Please do update on regular basis......
