As Belle's hand left Calvin's palm, he felt a gust of emptiness. It was as if his heart was empty. He immediately sought Aron. "Aron, have you finished tidying up my office?"
Aron smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Harvey. I've been working overtime the whole night and now it's finally done."
"Very well." Calvin smiled.
As soon as Belle opened the door to the office, a fresh Sadiel fragrance wafted into her nose. She was shocked to see a bundle of roses waiting on her desk.
She was stunned.
She was sure it hadn't been there the previous afternoon.
She gripped the key in her hand. Yes, the key was still with her, so it was impossible for someone to have opened the door to her office.
But where did these flowers come from?
She walked over, picked up the roses, inspecting them. They were fresh, as if they had just been plucked.
She lowered her head and thought for a while. Such a thing could only be Steffan's doing!
At the thought of Steffan, she actually felt a little depressed. She slowly walked to the desk and sat down. Unthinkingly pressing on the keyboard, her mind drifted to the events on the previous night.
The night before, she had slept in Calvin's arms, seemingly very soundly. The warmth was still preserved on her body as of then.
There was a slight blush on her face.
"Stop thinking about it. There is still a car show plan to be carried out today," Belle warned herself, shaking her head.
She composed herself, switched on the computer, and immersed herself in her task. Time passed by in a flash. Just as she was lost in her work, a dark figure appeared in front of the desk.
She looked up, and standing in front of her was Steffan.
"Mr. Yintern." Her speech faltered. With the previous night's events, she felt uncomfortable facing Steffan.
"Dory, are you busy with the plan? These are the procedures of the car exhibition. I'd like to discuss when you may need to make an appearance," Steffan said gently, holding a stack of drawings in his hand, completely ignoring the expression on Belle's face.
"Sure, sure." Belle nodded her head in a hurry upon receiving an important task.
Steffan walked towards the couch, and Belle also stood up and followed him.
They both sat down on the couch.
Steffan spread the drawing in his hand and pointed to one of the corners. "The prelude to the exhibition must be grand, but the real climax will be around this time. So here I am, to discuss it with you."
Both of their heads were almost pressed together as they looked at the drawing plan intently.
Belle studied the drawing with Steffan's indication. She agreed with his decision and was about to open her mouth to speak.
"Knock, knock, are you working, or are you flirting?" A teasing voice suddenly appeared in the office, which startled the two of them as they looked up at the same time.
Calvin had appeared out of nowhere. He stood tall and upright as he spoke with a jealous tone.
Belle was immediately dumbstruck. Where did he even come from?
From her point of view, Calvin's appearance was certainly eerie. It was as if he had drilled through the wall, appearing out of nowhere. If Calvin had come through the door, then the both of them surely must've heard him.
His appearance was completely baffling.
