Chapter 11 Gideon was deep in thought when a knock on the door interrupted his reverie .
He had been thinking about Calliope , but as soon as the sound reached his ears , he pretended to be busy with some papers on his desk .
Come in , he called out , keeping his eyes firmly on the stack in front of him .
He wasnt about to let her know shed been occupying his thoughts .
He knew Calliopes temperament all too well .
If she was coming to him for a favor , he needed to play it cool .
If he showed her any warmth , shed think he couldnt live without her .
Regardless of what he did or how he did it , she always seemed to forgive him without question .
The wedding went smoothly yesterday , I assume ? he said , still not looking up .
I told you , you could handle it on your own .
What were you fussing about ? You did great .
I heard about a nice new bistro in town .
Ill take you out for dinner later .
Gideon continued speaking without lifting his gaze , oblivious to the fact that the person who entered wasnt Calliope at all .
Liora , his assistant , stood in the doorway , slightly taken aback .
Her expression was a mix of confusion and something else she couldnt quite place .
After a moment , she cleared her throat , Mr.
Baker , I have a document here that needs your signature .
Gideon finally looked up , surprised to see Liora instead of Calliope .
She didnt come ? he asked , his frowning deepening .
Who ? Liora was caught off guard .
Calliope , Gideon replied , still frowning .
Could she really be upset over something so trivial ? Surely she had managed the wedding without a hitch .
If not , his grandfather would have been on his case by now .
Ms.
Jewell hasnt been in today , Liora responded , hesitating .
It seemed Mr.
Baker was completely unaware of the office gossip .
Word had spread like wildfire that Ms.
Jewell had married Mr.
Myers yesterday .
Not only that , but Mr.
Myers had posted a photo of their marriage certificate on Twitter ! Screenshots of the post were circulating everywhere , and Mr.
Myers had even handed out chocolates to everyone in the office , from the CEO to the janitor .
Seeing Gideons apparent ignorance , Liora decided to keep her mouth shut .
Hed find out soon enough .
She had always thought Ms.
Jewell deserved better than the likes of Mr.
Baker , with his careless attitude .
Gideon signed the document and handed it back to Liora , who he noticed was eyeing him with an indecipherable look .
I see everyone has chocolates on their desks .
Did Calliope give those out ? Liora hesitated .
Im not sure , sir .
Maybe you should ask Ms.
Jewell yourself .

With that , she quickly exited the room , leaving Gideon puzzled .
What was Calliope up to ? Could it be that she was waiting for him at home ? His eyes fell on the box of chocolates on his desk .
Had Calliope been here and left these for him ? Was this her way of reminding him they were married now ? It seemed possible .
1/2 15:55 Chapter His earlier irritation vanished , replaced by a sudden eagerness to go home .
It had been days since hed tasted Calliopes cooking .
Despite his usual disdain for her homemaking efforts , he couldnt deny her meals were delicious .
