Chapter 123 Look Your Fill Danna seethed from her car as she watched Arissa enter the Graham Groupâs building.
Didnât I get rid of this woman? What is she still doing here?
No wonder Benjamin had been so surly with her lately. It was all Arissaâs fault.
It had never crossed Dannaâs mind that Arissa might work here.
She was gripped with mad jealousy, and a sense of unease settled in her gut.
Danna clenched her palm into a fist and glared daggers in Arissaâs direction.
Arissa had to be out of the picture. If Benjamin ever realized that Gavin wasnât really her son, she would lose her place in the Graham family.
Even worse, it was likely that Benjaminâs instincts would compel him to probe further into the sordid events of the past.
Danna trembled as she thought about the other child.
She drove away at once.
Arissa had just stepped inside when Ethen instructed her to go to Benjaminâs office.
As she stood before the door of her CEOâs office, she straightened her clothing and knocked once.
âCome in!â A low, deep voice intoned, carrying a tinge of indifference.
Arissa gulped and opened the door.
Benjamin was reading documents behind his desk. He hadnât even looked up.
Noticing that he appeared busy, Arissa stepped forward and waited in silence.
Her gaze lingered on him unconsciously.
He was extremely handsome in a way that would turn heads and attract attention in a crowd.
With dark brows, a straight nose, and eyes so deep one could lose herself in, it was as if his every feature had been perfectly sculpted. Here was a man who had been blessed by the heavens.
His intimidating expression made Arissa turn away, but he commanded a rich and compelling presence that drew her back in.
Arissaâs cheeks reddened, and her heart skipped a beat.
This man was the father of her children.
He was so wealthy and high-ranking to be practically unreachable.
If I told Benjamin the truth, would he help me?
Feeling her gaze, Benjamin finally looked up and faced her directly.
Arissaâs dazed expression gave him an odd sense of delight.
âLooked your fill yet?â His eyes flashed with a hint of derision.
Arissa had returned his gaze and looked away sheepishly. âMy sincerest apologies, Mr. Graham!â
Her heart beat faster and she could feel her cheeks reddening.
Being caught in the act of openly staring at someone was plainly embarrassing.
âWhat are you apologizing for?â His piercing gaze compelled her to speak.
She gaped momentarily, then explained in a small voice, âI shouldnât be daydreaming in your office, Mr. Graham.â
He stared at her intently. âWhat were you thinking about?â
Arissa raised her head, then flinched away from the intensity of his gaze.
There was no way she could admit to what she had really been doing back there.
âWhat did you call me up for, Mr. Graham?â Arissa asked, avoiding the question.
âYouâre late!â Benjamin said suddenly.
Arissaâs jaw dropped.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 122 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You âI wasnât!â she protested weakly.
She had been cutting it close by a few seconds, but Arissa didnât see how it meant she was late.
âDonât you know that managers need to come in ten minutes earlier?â His eyes flashed sternly. âAs a manager, being almost late to work doesnât set a good precedent either.â
She was speechless.
Was this really all he had called her up for?
âI wonât do it again.â
Even though he had just come to her house to eat breakfast, it was as though he no longer recognized her.
It was said that the way to a manâs heart was through his stomach, but clearly, this statement didnât apply to Benjamin.
Benjamin eyed her up and down, noting her lack of response. He raised an eyebrow. âDo you feel I am being unfair?â
Arissa stared blankly. âIâd never!â
Benjamin huffed. âCome here!â
She froze, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Is this even appropriate?
