Go After My Ex-wife novel Chapter 48

Calvin smoked his cigar while looking at Belle with his head tilted.

Could it be that he had gone crazy after a few days of being normal?

She coughed and cleared her throat. She looked in to his eyes to make sure if he was looking at her, “Will you go back to your words? I have finalized my speech, I will not anyone to intervene with my designs. It's useless for you to go back on your word now.”

In the past few days, she found that Calvin would not smoke at normal time until he had met some problems. And it must have had something to do with her since he was in her office.

She had angered Lexie today, so he must be here to settle the score with her.

At this, Belle shivered. It would be a hard time for her it Calvin went crazy, so she stood up and was ready to leave.

Today Calvin had refuted Lexie in front of everyone at the convention centre and supported her, and now there was a lot of talk everywhere in the company that Calvin still had feelings for his ex-wife and that Lexie was about to fall out of favour.

Lexie was already so angry that she shed tears.

Belle packed up her things and saw Calvin still staring at her, wondering what he was thinking.

She made up her mind that if Calvin was going to give her designs to Lexie to arrange for them to be publicised, she was prepared to completely flip out and destroy them, for the models she had painstakingly designed could not just be trashed.

"Stand still." Just when Belle thought she was about to walk out of the office, Calvin called out to her just in time, and reached out to pull her in. With a little force, Belle fell into his arms.

He dropped his cigar and his fingers stroked her face, with a wicked smile, "Don't worry, how can I go back on what I promised? Come with me and I'll treat you to dinner."

"Dinner?" Belle broke away from his embrace, confused, he looked at her so much just to treat her to dinner? Who would believe it!

"What do you think I want?" He smiled wistfully, his eyes fell on Belle's chest. One button of the top of the suit rested right on her chest, the lace shirt inside lined her skin, it was eye catching.

This woman, wearing a professional suit, was dazzling. Calvin could not help but swallow.

How could he not have noticed how beautiful she was in the past years of marriage? He had left her at home during those years, so now he regretted it.

Belle rolled her eyes.

"You cooked for me yesterday, so I'm treating you today." He smiled, covering up the hint of embarrassment.

"Let's go." Calvin dragged her hand up and headed outside.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Calvin." When Hanna saw Calvin walk out, she was full of smiles, and when she saw Calvin dragging Belle in his hand she couldn't help but darken her face.

She watched with hatred as Calvin dragged Belle into the special lift and then the lift went straight down to the basement.

Now it was said that Calvin was still in love with his ex-wife, and it seemed that this was not just a rumour, but the truth.

The red, yellow and blue neon lights spread outwards from the middle of the screen in a circle and gradually gathered back together, the ripples shaped like water ripples on a blue sky, dreamy and dazzling.

The words "Sky Blue" glowed brightly from afar.

It is said that the women who come here are never the original spouses of the men who come here, but the women who come here are rich, and come here purely to find love, so it is too vulgar to say that they are the men's mistresses.

This place is always romantic.

When Calvin walked in with Belle, the waiter of course recognised him and immediately greeted him.

Belle followed behind Calvin, feeling uncomfortable all over. If she came here indeed to find love, but what did he take her for?

The lights in the room were misty and hazy, ethereal and unreal, and the popular light music was casually pouring out.

Calvin ordered several dishes, and he didn't even ask for her permission.

This has always been his style, overbearing.

It was a good thing that Belle did not have high demands on life, so she could eat whatever she wanted.

When a delicious dish was served, Belle was still surprised that almost all of the dishes were her favourite.

How did he know what dishes she liked to eat? Would this be too much of a coincidence!

"Here, have some wine." Calvin asked the waiter to bring a bottle of expensive imported red wine and poured a glass for the two of them.

The pleasant dinner began in a peaceful atmosphere.

Calvin was a gentleman, warm and considerate, from time to time, he helped Belle with food. The two of them frequently clinked glasses, Belle's cheeks seemed to be dyed by red wine, was a tempting blush.

"Come on, open your mouth." Calvin had drunk some wine and his face was starting to flush, his gaze was misty, he came closer, put his arm around Belle's shoulder and passed the food to her mouth.

Belle turned away and frowned.

"Look at others, which one is as bitter as you are?" Calvin wrapped his arm around her, smiled wickedly and blew in her ear.

He looked like he was flirting to outsiders, but Belle was annoyed, feeling very uncomfortable, raising her eyes. The men and women who came here were all cuddling each other, but everyone felt it was normal.

Belle took a breath, and in order not to feel perverse, she just let him put his arm around her shoulders.

She was in his arms, her eyes looking around, embarrassed.

The pairs of men and women in the warm light did not attract too much of her attention, but the figure of a woman caught her eye, and what surprised her most was that the woman's eyes were always looking at her.

She was just bashful, sitting there gracefully. She looked at her quietly, with an intriguing light in her eyes.

She was beautiful, carried a distinctive elegance.

In such an environment, she was sitting all alone without any discomfort, and Belle did not know whether it was her aura that attracted her, or whether her lonely sitting back was similar to her own.

All of a sudden a faint sadness rose up in her heart, replacing that strange feeling.

The setting was not suitable for her either.

"What are you thinking about, concentrate, will you?" Calvin said with a bit of discontent.

Belle turned back and gave him a blank look, taking the glass of wine.

"Drink it." She brought the glass to his mouth.

"Okay." Calvin bit the edge of the glass with his mouth and drank it in one angled gulp.

"I'm done eating, I gotta go." She spoke lightly.

"Wait." Calvin put his arm around her shoulder, leaned close to her ear and asked softly, "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

He looked at her with a sly look in his eyes, and Belle looked back at him, surprised, not knowing what he was talking about, and just shook her head, and when she looked towards the woman again, the woman had gone.

Belle was stunned.

Had she just been blinded or was it a hallucination after drinking?

The uneasiness in her heart increased and she stood up, walking towards the outside.

The city was filled with huge banners, dazzling advertisements, and a variety of news media, and the first "Spread Our Love With Cosmic Hybrid Car" was a large gathering of parties, press conferences, and charity activities.

The event finally arrived as scheduled.

A long red carpet led to the centre of the stage, above which was the car show, with a huge screen showing all kinds of car models, and around the stage were round square tables, set up exactly according to the international high-class conference.

Lexie's vision is unique. As the daughter of the deputy mayor of A City, she grew up in a privileged environment and has a talent for fashion, for example, the venue she designed tonight is a fusion of various cultures and all the needs of high society, combining elegance, nobility and romance.

Today's attendees will be well-known international and domestic wealthy business consortia, and it is said that because of this gala, the private jet car park in A City is already bursting at the seams! The natural press and magazines are out in force!

The glittering conference room was filled with the most expensive businessmen and businesswomen from all over the world walking in from the red carpet.

The beautiful song "let me go" was being sung with great enthusiasm!

This is a crucial time for Harvey Corp's transformation. In order to take the lead in the world, he has specially asked top designers, including Belle, to design these new luxury cars and invited all the world's biggest business consortia on the occasion of the charity event.

If he can get the favour of these consortia and the contract is successful, it will become one of the most powerful breakthroughs for the overseas business.
