Her eyes narrowed sharply.
Calliope was definitely up to no good. She had a connection with Dante, sneaking around to see him!
Lisette quickly followed Calliope. She watched as Calliope entered the elevator and punched in a floor number.
It was Dante’s floor.
Without wasting a second, Lisette slipped into another elevator.
This could get interesting. If Calliope did have something going on with Dante, and Silas or those obsessed fans of Silas found out, Calliope would be in deep trouble!
Lisette’s heart was practically doing somersaults with excitement.
When the elevator doors slid open, she quickly turned around, her back facing Calliope as she exited.
Unaware of Lisette’s presence, Calliope walked briskly toward Dante’s room.
Once Lisette was out of the elevator, she stealthily tucked herself into a corner, pulling out her phone to start recording.
Calliope reached Dante’s door and pressed the doorbell.
Dante opened the door, his voice already agitated as he barked, “Why do you keep showing up-”
He stopped mid–sentence, clearly startled to see Calliope. With a loud slam, he shut the door right in her face!
Calliope opened her mouth, but no words came out. She was left standing there, staring at the closed door in disbelief.
Hadn’t he said he wanted to see her? What was up with that reaction?
Calliope was at a loss.
Lisette was equally stunned. She had expected some juicy drama to unfold, something she could capture on video and send to Silas. That would surely send Silas into a frenzy. And then Calliope would be doomed.
But nothing of the sort happened.
The man who claimed he wanted to see Calliope quickly shut the door when she arrived. He’d spoken to Lisette for a while but not a word to Calliope. What was going on?
It didn’t add up. If that were the case, something must be going on between Calliope and Dante. Why else would Dante suddenly hide?
Calliope must have had a reason for coming to see Dante.
Lisette continued filming, her eyes glued to Calliope’s direction, convinced that Dante would eventually come
back out.
Calliope was equally puzzled. She pressed the doorbell again.
Meanwhile, Dante was like a cat on a hot tin roof inside, pacing in circles before checking himself in the mirror, adjusting his hair and clothes.
He was a bit flustered, but also a bit excited.
He stood by the door, cautiously opening it. He stared at Calliope, his eyes scanning her from head to toe. His eyes reddened, tears welling up.
“Mr. Lopez?” Calliope ventured, her voice tinged with uncertainty as she noticed the strange look in his eyes. She hadn’t done anything, yet he looked as if he was about to cry.

“Well, I heard from the Jewell family that you wanted to see me?”
Dante blinked, momentarily stunned. “You came because of the Jewell family?”
“Not exactly. I was just curious because I don’t think I know you at all.”
Calliope gave him a small smile. “I’m sorry to bother you, but I wanted to ask why. Don’t worry. Even though I came to see you, you don’t have to keep working with them. I’m not involved in that.
“And again, do you know me?”
She couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. It felt like if she didn’t meet Dante, she’d be missing out on something important.
