"Calvin, see that? This woman is in our company yet she is cuddling with our biggest competitor, she clearly has impure intentions. She must not be allowed to stay in Harvey Corp, let alone be the manager of the design department!" Lexie snapped justifiably.
Calvin's face was full of anger, and his gloomy eyes stared at Belle.
"What's all the fuss about!" A man dressed in a suit and wearing a greasy haircut walked in. He had a smile on his lips, handsome and charming.
"Martin, what brings you here?" Paige's face sank at first sight of this man, full of displeasure, but she still managed to squeeze out a smile.
But Martin Harvey smiled daintily and freely, did not look at anyone, but he walked straight towards Belle, raised his hand and patted Belle's shoulder, "Belle, you're back and you didn't tell me, fortunately I only found out about it when I overheard your mother, so I rushed over as soon as I heard about it."
Martin has a casual and soft voice, but reveals a superiority that is a challenge to Calvin.
Belle dodged to the side, Martin's hand that patted her shoulder for the second time fell short. He froze and couldn't help but laugh, "Belle, you're still as cold and noble as you were in college."
"Martin, what do you want from me?" Belle was very surprised by Martin's arrival.
When she was still at university, she had a persistent suitor, Martin, who was obsessed with her and stalked her all day long. He was rude to her several times when he got drunk, but she avoided it, so she did not like Martin, for she felt that he had a deep heart that she could not see through. She likes people who are decisive and capable in their career, but simple in their life and have a clear sense of love and hate, like Calvin.
Martin is the son of Evan Harvey. When his grandfather was alive, he stipulated that all the descendants of the Harvey family must follow the path of combining government and business, that is, one must be in politics and the other in business. At that time, the old man saw that Martin was deep in heart, so he designated the branch of Evan to be in politics. Calvin was smart and sensible to business, so he trained Calvin into a businessman.
Of course, the Harvey family's ancestral wealth was distributed on a per capita basis and he would not favour anyone.
The old man believed that young people were not yet stable enough until they married and had children, so his last words made it clear that this ancestral family fortune would only be officially divided when the children and grandchildren in the Harvey family married.
As expected, Martin did not live up to his expectations and became the head of the Finance Department at a young age, and his goal was clear, to take over the position of Mayor of A City.
Harvey Corp, led by Calvin, is also unrivalled and dominant in A City.
If his grandfather were to know, he would be pleased!
"Martin, what are you doing here instead of going to work?" Calvin's face became even more unpleasant. Since he was young, he had never liked this cousin, always feeling that he was too complex-minded, not bright enough in his methods and acting too viciously.
"It seems that you all care about me. I didn't expect to meet so many of you, I just wanted to come over to see Belle - my former sister-in-law." Martin grinned towards Calvin and deliberately spoke of his former sister-in-law with great emphasis, "It seems that I've met something interesting."
Calvin's face became even darker, and his eyes were like sharp swords.
Martin is scheming, but his fondness for Belle did not escape Calvin's eyes, and he saw it clearly when he was in college that year.
The past flashed in his mind and his heart rose even more with anger.
He narrowed his eyes, with coldness inside.
He pursed his lips at this time, "Miss Alice is the designer that my company hired, it's not convenient to meet guests now during working hours. And you, the head of the Finance Department, came to visit my company's female staff during working hours, do you think this will be good to spread out? Don't forget what grandpa once taught you."
The warning in Calvin's words was strong. His grandfather had stated that: Martin, who was in politics, could not be too deeply in love with women, and for the sake of the family's interests, he could only marry Rosa Perry, the only daughter of General Perry of the capital's military community, and it was useless no matter who he was in love with. This was an iron order that had to be obeyed, and that after marriage he must behave will, so that no one could be picky about her, thus not to affect his political career.
When Calvin warned out, Martin's face darkened, he looked at Belle and spoke, "Of course, I'm here for the Harvey family's official business."
The muscles on Calvin's face moved, revealing a mocking smile, taking him for a fool. Could he hide his love for Belle from his eyes? The light in his eyes went out, and suddenly, with a very light smile, he opened his mouth to Lexie, "Lexie, it's time to go to work, you go and check the work situation of all departments, and punish all those who violate discipline severely."
His voice was not loud and the staff in the corridor suddenly all dispersed and were soon in their places.
"Mom, since you're here, go to my office and have a seat first." Calvin held Paige with a gentle smile, and although his tone was consultative, he did not allow her to object.
Paige, who comes from a wealthy family and has always experienced the complexities of the business world, knew that what happened today would not be good for the company, not to mention the fact that Martin had come over.
Soon, the office was alone with Belle.
It was only when the surrounding area was terribly quiet that Belle slumped into the soft chair and curled up in the recliner, her eyes tightly closed.
She didn't know why Calvin didn't kick her out right away, and she wondered what he would think. Was it because Martin had come over to relieve her, or would he come after her later?
Martin and Calvin stayed in a conference room for more than half an hour and then Martin left in a blaze of glory.
"Calvin, sack that woman. Even if she has great abilities, she won't think about the Harvey Corp, let alone do anything for the Harvey Corp sincerely, so don't be delusional! Think about it, Atkinson Corp is such a good company, and Rhys treats her so well, what reason does she have to work for Harvey Corp instead? She certainly loves money, and the money in the Atkinson Corp is no less than ours, so if you think about it with a little brain, you can understand." Calvin had just walked in and sat down when Paige advised bitterly, "What's more, she's a troublemaker, so many men are surrounding her, it's not good for our company's image."
After a moment of silence, Calvin nodded and said, "Mom, don't worry, I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
