Now even if he was gone, he could still run the company just fine—and look after himself, too.
He’d been a little worried before, but seeing it with his own eyes, he was completely at ease.
He just knew it—he was smart enough, capable enough. As long as he set his mind to something, he could do almost anything, sometimes even better than he could himself.
After about twenty minutes of getting things wrapped up, Lance led everyone out for dinner.
They settled into a cozy booth at a steakhouse.
Over dinner, Calliope couldn’t stop thinking about Hudson’s situation. She barely touched her food, lost in thought.
Silas sat next to her, nudging her every now and then with a forkful of mashed potatoes or a piece of steak.
“Callie, you’ve got yourself a pretty good husband here,” Lance teased, grinning. “Went and got married without saying a word, but hey, he seems like a solid guy.”
Calliope looked up and smirked. “Well, I’ve got good taste, don’t I?”
“I’d say I do, too! Mine’s a keeper,” Lance shot a look over at Hudson.
Hudson’s hand trembled a bit as he passed the bread basket to Lance.
“Why are you so worked up? Everyone already knows,” Lance laughed.
Hudson quickly regained his composure. “Eat up. How was your first day at the office? Think you’ll get the hang of it?”
“It was alright,” Lance replied. “You’ve got the place running smoother than a Swiss watch. I barely found anything to do.”
“You handled that meeting like a pro,” Hudson said. “If I ever hand the company over to anyone, I’d feel good about leaving it in your hands.”
Lance puffed his cheeks, narrowing his eyes at Hudson. “Why are you talking like that? Planning to ditch me or something?”
“Lance, can we talk after dinner?” Hudson set his fork down, his face suddenly serious.
Lance tensed, a flicker of panic in his eyes. “What’s going on? What do you want to talk about?”

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......
