Chapter 77 Mr.
Myers , Gideon is here , Fagan announced , poking his head into the office where Silas was buried in a pile of paperwork .
Silas looked up briefly , raising an eyebrow , Hes here ? Yes , he mentioned he has something important to discuss with you .
Should I let him in ? Silas nodded .
Let him in .
Right away , Fagan turned and left the room .
A few minutes later , Gideon knocked and entered Silass office .
The main office of the headquarters was , unsurprisingly , far more impressive than his own .
Gideon glanced around the room as he walked in .
As a matter of face , he rarely visited his uncles domain .
Despite their minimal age difference , Silas exuded an inherent authority that made the gap feel vast .
In the eyes of their family , Silas was more of a legend than a mere mortal .
The Baker Group , while named after the family , was essentially Silass empire .
The company wasnt always the formidable force it was now .
It was Silass leadership that transformed a teetering business into a powerhouse that commanded both respect and fear .
To the younger generation , Silas was untouchable .
None of the Baker family members were foolish enough to challenge him directly .
Gideon included .
He was intimidated by Silas , who always seemed a bit distant and unapproachable .
But today , for Calliopes sake , he had to confront his uncle .
Uncle Silas , Gideon greeted softly after closing the door , stepping up to Silass desk .
Silas didnt immediately respond , his attention still on his documents .
This left Gideon feeling a bit anxious .
He tried again , more earnestly this time .
Uncle Silas , I wanted to talk about Callie .
At this , Silas finally looked up .

His devilishly handsome face was inscrutable , and though seated , he conveyed an air of superiority that was hard to ignore .
Gideon felt the weight of it .
What is it ? Silas asked .
First , I need to apologize .
The situation with Callie has troubled you , and Im truly sorry .
On the day of the wedding , it was my fault .
I wasnt there , which led Callie to seek your help .
I was in the wrong , and I owe you an apology .
Ive thought it over , and I plan to bring Callie back .
Uncle Silas , would you be okay with this ? Gideon assumed that a sincere apology would smooth things over .
Surely , Silas wouldnt make things difficult for his nephew over a woman , he supposed .
Silass lips curled into a faint , bemused smile as he regarded Gideon .
You want to take my wife away ? Uncle Silas , come on , dont joke around .
I know Callie isnt to your taste .
You wouldnt compete with your nephew over a woman ! Gideon chuckled nervously .
Besides , Callie loves me .
She turned to you out of spite.
I understand weve inconvenienced you , and thats on us .
I wont trouble you anymore .
Ill take Callie back and clear things up with everyone .
You were just helping out , nothing more .
Silas leaned back in his chair , his expression unchanged , the collar of his shirt open just enough to show a hint of his attractive collarbone , and his hands casually clasped together .
He looked at Gideon with a hint of amusement .

Do you think I care about what others say ? Silas asked again .
