"Oh, my! You're a beautiful car designer. I've heard a lot about you." Melvin's face immediately beamed. He reached out his hand and held Belle's tightly, showing no signs of letting go.
Belle was sure she had not extended her hands towards Melvin. Out of her instinct of self-preservation, she would never reach out to shake hands with such a Don Juan.
However, Melvin gently stroked her hand intimately while smirking devilishly.
"Do you mind if I ask how old you are, milady? Are you engaged in matrimony?" Melvin continued to ask, wrestling with his drunkenness. He approached her with a smile.
There was an awkward expression on Belle's face. She pursed her red lips tightly and did not know how to reply for a moment.
When she got closer, she realised that Melvin was actually quite handsome, especially with his amorous eyes. He was more beautiful than a woman.
"Master Cohen, I am..." Steffan frowned when saw the malicious look on Melvin's face as he held Belle's hand. He dared not unleash his destructiveness in public but only wanted to divert his attention. So, after he introduced himself, Melvin waved a dismissive hand and said, "Whatever. Go and get yourself some wine."
The muscles on Steffan's face stiffened. His expression darkened and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"Ma belle, come here. So, tell me, how long have you been designing cars?" Melvin asked as he continued holding Belle's hand. He showed great interest in her.
Belle was not used to being held by a man like this. At the moment, she wanted to pull back her hand, but Melvin seemed to know what she was thinking, so he tightened his grip on her hand.
"Let's not go there. Actually, it's just my hobby." Belle had no choice but to answer.
"Ah, it's just your hobby? That's amazing! You are gifted." Melvin rambled on as he looked at Belle with fascinating eyes.
At that time, Belle's body was exuding a noble aura. Those beauties around her were not on the same level as her.
Melvin instantly felt as if his soul had been ripped out of his body. As he stared at Belle, he actually felt suspicious and said to himself, "Miss Lexantra, you are very beautiful. You look somewhat familiar."
Belle did not know whether to laugh or to cry. By the way, Melvin had not even seen the model of cars that she had designed. How could he praise her like this? It seemed that this guy was not going to let her go easily.
"Master Cohen, I'm sorry. I'm going to bring my girlfriend into the hall." Steffan, who was standing to one side, was getting impatient. He immediately coughed and quietly reached out to pinch Melvin's hand. Melvin flinched and could not help but to let go of Belle's hand.
It turned out that she already had a beau!
Melvin was a little discouraged. He seemed to notice Steffan's presence only after being pinched. He was a little sober then but he did not give up. He immediately grinned and threw a sly leer at Belle. He smiled and said, "Alright, please go ahead."
Belle did not protest when Steffan addressed her as his girlfriend due to Melvin's actions.
If the Yintern Group was able to hire Melvin, then they needed to work on a lot of things. However, as Steffan's 'girlfriend', she was probably safe from Melvin's advances.
When she was finally out of Melvin's grasp, she reached out for Steffan's hand and made their way into the hall.
Soon, Belle was shocked by what she saw.
She was surprised to see Zevulon, who was dressed in a suit with his hair combed back, in the corner of the room. He was brimming with energy as he sat opposite a woman.
Belle was stunned.
