Chapter 133 Nothing much ! Portia huffed , getting up with a playful grin .
Just ensure you treat Callie well .
Since youre here , Ill leave you two alone .
She grabbed her purse and skipped toward the door .
Just as she reached the doorway , she turned back , leaning against the frame with a mischievous glint in her eyes .
Darling , dont forget about me when the fun starts ! She winked at Calliope , twirled around , and bounced out of the room .
Calliope watched her leave , her mind drifting into thought .
She had been caught up with her affairs lately and almost forgot about the whirlwind in Portias life .
Shed have to find time to catch up with Fintan soon .
What were you two chatting about ? Silas asked as he walked in , his tall figure casting a shadow .
Just gossiping a bit , Calliope replied with a sly smile , closing her laptop .
Eamon filled you in , didnt he ? Yeah , he called me right after speaking with you and told me to pick you up .
Silas paused .
You know , if you dont want to go , you dont have to .
He understood .
Calliope might still care about Gideon .
After all , she had loved him once , giving so much of herself to him .
Witnessing someone she once adored marry another could be a bitter pill .
Silas knew the sting of that pain all too well .
Why wouldnt I go ? Im in it for the show ! There must be some drama today , Calliope said with excitement .
Fleurs personality clashes with Yvettes .
Shes sure to give her a hard time .
Calliope spoke from experience .

Now that Yvette was in the hot seat , Calliope was more than ready to be a spectator .
Silas studied Calliopes face .
There was no hint of sadness , only genuine eagerness for the impending spectacle .
Only then , his worries eased .
Calliope and Silas left Kirin Fondue , heading to Silass car .
Like a magician pulling a rabbit from a hat , Silas produced a slice of cake .
Is that a slice from Azure Bakery ? Calliopes eyes lit up at the sight .
I thought youd like it .
Picked it up on the way , Silas said casually .
We probably wont eat for a while , so this should hold you over .
Thanks ! Calliope said , already nibbling on the cake .
She adored Azures confections .
In the drivers seat , Fagan silently rolled his eyes .
On the way , indeed .
They had detoured miles out of their path , and the line at Azure Bakery was a nightmare .
Yet Mr.

Myers was relentless .
Fagan had seen people pampered , but this was a whole new level .
Take it easy , Silas murmured as the car cruised smoothly .
He glanced up from his iPad , noticing a dab of frosting on Calliopes lips .
He reached out to gently wipe it away and licked his finger clean before returning to his work .
Calliope paused , watching him with a slight surprise at the casual intimacy of his gesture .
