"Got it," Aron answered. He glanced around and immediately asked, "Mr. Harvey, where should we put Melvin's gift? It seems like there isn't any gift table. I mean, the party is a little chaotic."
"Don't worry about it. I have my ways with Melvin," Calvin immediately said. As the president of the Harvey Group, he was not afraid of failing to hire Melvin Cohen. He was already honoring him by attending his birthday banquet.
Melvin was truly a jerk in every sense of the word. They had been there for so long, yet no one came to receive them. What was more, this looked less like a normal banquet and more like a frat party.
He had heard a little about Melvin Cohen.
At that moment, a special person could only use a very special method to deal with him.
"Alright, why don't you take a seat? I'll go and look around," Aron said as he led Calvin to a dark corner. Then, he left in search of Belle.
Steffan led Belle around the hall before finding a place to sit down. After a while, his cell phone rang.
Steffan answered his phone and his expression changed in an instant.
"Okay, give me a sec, I'll be right there." After a moment, he put down the phone and stood up.
"Steffan, what's wrong?" Belle asked worriedly when she saw the change in Steffan's expression. She sensed that something was wrong.
Steffan had a serious look on his face.
"Dory, something happened in the car production plant in the eastern suburb. Some local ruffians and hooligans broke in and attacked some of our employees. I'm heading over there to check on the situation. How about you stay here and wait to see if there's any opportunity for you to show Melvin your designs? Just do your best to convince him," Steffan said. He was very anxious.
Upon hearing this, Belle's expression changed as well.
Srirano was quite a safe place, so how could something like this have happened? And it had to happen at a time like this. She had never heard of anything like this before.
She could not blame Steffan for being so skittish after hearing the news. This was the first time something like this had happened.
"Don't worry, go ahead. I know what to do." Belle could not hide the worry in her eyes. There was nothing she could do besides comforting him.
Steffan took a deep breath, turned around and left. After taking a few steps, he turned back quickly.
"Dory, you have to be careful when you're with Melvin. This guy is a little rogue and he's also very lecherous. Do not let him take advantage of you. If you can't convince him, then so be it. I'll think of a way tomorrow. Fortunately, Mr. Tangger is here as well. You can go and find him if you need help." Steffan was very worried when he thought of how Melvin had acted around Belle when they entered the room just then. That was why he had to turn back around to remind Belle. Finally, he said with great concern, "No, Dory. I think it's best if you come with me."
Belle understood his worries and was a little moved, but her mind was clear. She immediately comforted him. "Steffan, don't worry. I have to stay here. This is a rare opportunity for us. Melvin is going to showcase his work later on. I don't want to miss this opportunity."
Steffan felt that her words were reasonable. After thinking for a while, he said, "Sounds fine to me, but you have to pay extra attention to your surroundings. I'll come back as soon as I've settled the situation. Wait for me here. If you need any help, then I'm only one call away."
After giving the order, he walked out in a hurry.
Belle started to feel uneasy as soon as Steffan left.
She was a little worried about Steffan. She did not know if he could deal with such violence. From many angles, Steffan looked like an artist. Could he handle such violence? Furthermore, this incident happened out of the blue.
She sat there in a daze. Little did she know that there was a pair of eyes that had been staring at her the whole time from a distance.
