Chapter 46 Argument Again
"Okay, I'll say it first," Calvin opened his mouth. "Belle, we were unhappy in our marriage, so I might have ignored you and failed to fulfill my duties as a husband. And my mother did not treat you well, I am here to ask for your forgiveness."
Calvin took a sip of wine before he continued, "I know I can't give you the marriage you want, but after the press conference, if you have anything you want, I will try my best to fulfill your requirements."
He was serious. Perhaps he was afraid of hurting her feelings, he was careful with his words, but Belle certainly understood what he meant.
She felt bitter inside, but there was a big smile on her face.
"Okay, I'm done. Now it's your turn." He looked up at her with his deep eyes.
Belle blushed from drinking red wine. Her lips were tender, in Calvin's eyes, she looked beautiful."
Calvin was lost in thought looking at her. He thought that he was not meant to be with a woman like her. There were too many obstacles between them. It was not easy to talk as calmly as they were now. He sighed in his heart.
"That's what I thought." Belle gave a faint slime, she knew that he wanted to marry Lexie and he loved Lexie. Now he was worried that their life would be affected.
"Calvin, I have no regret to save you. I thought straight now, I can give up those two cars. Don't worry, I will try my best to finish the design and ensure the opening of the news conference, please believe me that I will have good performance."
Her eyes were dark and bright.
Looking at her eyes, Calvin felt lost.
Annoyed, he picked up his glass of wine and drank it down.
They had a peaceful dinner, like two friends.
After that, Belle began to work after cleaning the plates, so did Calvin.
For three days, Belle went to the company to discuss with the employees with the design department, and at night, she was alone thinking about her ideas. Finally, she finished the design draft. Tired, she slept lying prone the table.
In her daze, someone picked her up. That was a warm and familiar embrace, she slept soundly, and when she opened her eyes, it was the following day.
Calvin was ready to go out with his bag.
"Calvin, I have finished the designs. I would like to reiterate some specific points. Belle stopped Calvin before he walked out of the door, "Please give me ten minutes during the press conference to explain about the designs. I will handle this part myself. I have to do this, please believe in me. I will make the audience understand the performance and superiority of each car as soon as possible." She looked at him confidently.
If she did not seize the opportunity to propose this idea to him at this time, after he returned to the company, he would be too busy to talk to her. Besides, the press conference was to be held soon. She had to coordinate with the person in charge in advance so that there would be no mistakes during the press conference. She did not want to trouble Calvin by then.
Calvin wore a nice suit which made him look slender and tall. He had woken up early in the morning and was lively. His eyes were particularly energetic. He nodded and said, "Yes, your designs are indeed well crafted. I like one of the designs a lot. You can do as you planned. I will call Lexie and let her know."
Belle blinked her eyes, smiled lightly and nodded.
Calvin also smiled at her, then he left.
At the convention center of the magnificent International Triumphal Court.
The event was named "Spread Our Love With Cosmic Hybrid Car". The press conference and the charity event were in preparation.
Lexie was busy at the scene, directing sternly from time to time.
She wanted the best decorations for the venue so that it would have a high-end atmosphere.
Many famous people at home and abroad would come, it was different from the common party, and it was important to the image of Harvey Corp.
When Belle walked in, she saw Lexie was talking to a few models.
"Miss Johnson, I don't need models for my design, for I have my plan." She walked to Lexie.
"No models?" Lexie glanced at the several models next to her, displeased, "Do you think the car your design would be popular? Funny, which car exhibition doesn't need models? For the reputation of the Harvey Corp, I found models for you, but you are telling me you don't need models? Are you kidding me?"
"Thanks for you kindness, but I don't need models, I have my arrangement, please cooperate with me." Belle insisted.
She did not like models who dressed a few for the car, for she did not know whether those people came for the cars or the models.
Sure, it can catch men's eyes, but the car's real function will be covered. When they reviewed the car again, they will find that they don't like the cars, insulting in bad impact on the company.
It was a low-end way to promote cars. For people who really understood cars and loved cars, they would not care about these things. The most important thing was what they thought about the car. How the ca brought them convenience in life and making them feel like owning the car was like having their beloved person by their side.
Belle wanted to attract these customers, who would really appreciate a car for what it was, and they would not buy a car for no reason. They would only buy the best. After that, many people would follow suit and this would create a huge demand. Gradually, the public would be sucked in by the trend and they would also purchase the same cars.
It was hard to win this kind of customers, but Belle was eyeing their potential.
She wanted to attract their attention.
Therefore, she would not let Lexie's cheap packaging ruin her intention.
"No, I am fully in charge of this. I can't let someone without any understanding of marketing handle this." Lexie rejected it with a stern face.
"Miss Johnson, I don't care what you are in charge of. I will not let layman dictate my presentation. Otherwise, it will ruin my efforts. It doesn't matter you agree or not." Belle uttered with a bright smile. Lexie's face suddenly darkened. At Harvey Corp, no one dared to rebel against anything she wanted to do. The only person who had the power was Calvin.
Although it might lose money, but as long as she had decided on it, Calvin would never deny her ideas. She did not believe this would change today.
"How dare you? You're just a manager in the designing department. You dare to ignore my authority as the Vice President? The arrangements were made a long time ago. The supermodels are already here. We have spent so much on this event. Can you afford it? Lexie was arrogant and refused to budge, "If the press conference fails, will you be responsible for it?"
"Miss Johnson, the theme of this press conference is luxury car, and I designed it." Belle gave a cold smile and then pulled out her phone.
"Calvin, I am in the exhibition center, please come here." She ordered calmly.
How dare Belle order Calvin? Those staff ware curious about that, and all stood up, gazing at Belle.
Lexie was furious, gritting her teeth.
Later, Calvin hurried over. He was on the phone, like he was busy at work.
"Calvin," Lexie saw Calvin coming and rushed up, hugged his arm, and pressed her entire chest on his body. "Calvin, that woman is causing trouble. The procedures for the conference were already confirmed a long time ago, but she rejects it and wants to change it."
Belle stood there and looked at them, expressionless.
Calvin ended the call and removed Lexie's arms from his body. He gave out a faint smile and said, "Lexie, get me a cup of water. I want to see for myself."
Lexie frowned at his words. He asked her for a cup of water as soon as he was here, it was obvious he was trying to drive her away!
Something was not right!
However, she still walked away wearing a smile.
"Belle, I'm sorry. I was busy and forgot to tell her the situation." Calvin had forgotten what he promised Belle in the morning, it was his fault, so he sent Lexie away and explained to Belle.
"It's okay." Belle smiled, "Calvin, everything I design has its meaning. If it doesn't meet my requirement, it is meaningless."
Calvin put on a sly smile, and whispered into her ears, "I believe in you."
