"Am I really Calvin Harvey' wife?" Belle sat in the office, looking at the ceiling in a daze with her head tilted.
"Thump. Thump." A series of sounds came from her ceiling upstairs. Sitting on the office chair, Belle could even feel the floorboards shaking.
"What the h*ll are they doing?"
The building had a total of 28 floors, and Yintern Group occupied the third floor. Belle's office and Steffan's office were on the same floor, which was on the 20th floor. Belle had never cared about who lived on the floor above her.
The floor above her, which had always been quiet, was then filled with an uncomfortable noise, and Belle's eyebrows were knitted together.
After a while, she turned on her computer.
She stared at the computer, with the screen frozen on the Wikipedia page for quite some time. Then, she lifted her fingers and entered the name 'Calvin Harvey' without hesitation.
"Dory, do you still feel unwell?" When Steffan walked in, Belle was sitting in a daze, her entire mental being in a state.
"Ah, nothing." Belle was snapped back to reality upon hearing his voice. She looked a little flustered, sat up straight, and shook her head.
Staring at her seriously, he bent down and looked at her. His eyes were full of concern. "Dory, if you are not feeling well, then go back and have a rest. Work is not important compared to health."
Belle pursed her lips and slowly raised her eyes to look at him. When she looked into his deep-set eyes, for a moment, she felt as if she had traveled through time and space.
She gazed into his eyes, searching for an answer but she only saw the caring and warm light in his alluring eyes. It was so clear and honest.
She was a little confused. Her lips parted as she was about to speak.
"Squeak... Squeak..." The rushing sound from upstairs was like thunder rumbling from the sky, breaking the silence between the two.
That noise was overbearingly annoying. Belle felt that her eardrums were going to burst any minute.
"D*mn, what the h*ll is going on upstairs?" Steffan hated unwanted noise the most. Upon hearing it, he was very angry and shouted angrily for someone to attend to him.
"Mr. Yintern." The secretary walked in immediately.
"Go upstairs and take a look. What's wrong with them today? What exactly are they doing? Are they unaware that the company is in operation downstairs?" He ordered the secretary with a serious and embarrassed expression.
The secretary accepted the order and hurried upstairs.
"Steffan, they might be renovating. Forget it, we don't have to go through such trouble." Belle rarely saw Steffan in such an angry state and she was afraid that he would argue with the people upstairs on impulse, so she immediately comforted him.
"Dory, you're too understanding." Steffan obviously understood Belle's thoughts. He immediately shook his head and sighed emotionally.
Belle smiled and thought of something. She couldn't help but to ask, "By the way, Steffan, what are we going to do with Melvin? Are we still going to collaborate with him?"
When he heard this, his face darkened. The scene of Calvin going to Melvin's birthday banquet the previous night went through his mind. He was deep in thought and did not utter a word.
If the Harvey Group also pursued Melvin, in reality, he didn't think there was much hope for the Yintern Group, even if Calvin had beaten Melvin up .
Under the temptation of a large sum of money, no one would be able to resist it, not to mention Melvin, who was famous for his love of wealth and lechery.
