Chapter 685: Chapter 686

Chapter 686 No Need To Sneak Around When Ethen walked in and heard those words, he was unsure if he was supposed to leave or stay. What secret did I just hear? Will Mr. Graham kill me because I heard it?

A glint flashed across Benjamin’s eyes, and he shot him a side-eye. “Hand me the medicine!” he ordered coldly. “Yes!” Ethen quickly went over to him and uttered fearfully, “Here you go, Mr. Graham.”

Benjamin took the items from him. “Get out!”

“Yes!” Ethen got out of there as fast as he could.

As he was walking out, he glanced at Arissa from the corners of his eyes and saw her swollen lips. Excitement welled up in his heart.

So the wound on Ms. York was actually caused by Mr. Graham’s bite? What a shocker!

Meanwhile, Arissa did not know whether to feel grateful to Benjamin when she saw that he intended to apply the ointment to her wound for her.

After all, he was the one who caused it.

Benjamin took a cotton swab and dipped it inside a bottle of antiseptic solution before lifting her chin. “Don’t move!”

Arissa cast him a glance and let him dress her wound.

When the antiseptic came into contact with her wound, she could not help but inhale sharply because it was quite painful.

Benjamin’s eyes flickered in response. “Bear with it!”

He tightened his grip on her chin so that she could not move. The pain lasted for quite a while, causing her face to scrunch up.

When he saw her reaction, his eyes glinted with amusement.

“It’ll be all right after this.”

His remark infuriated her. “It was already getting better, but you just had to bite it again!”

Benjamin chuckled and appeased her in a gentle voice. “I’ll be more careful next time.”

Arissa felt embarrassed when she met his eyes, which crinkled with joy.

“You’re crazy!” she murmured.

Upon receiving a warning look from him, she pursed her lips.

Benjamin proceeded to apply the ointment to her wound.

“All done!” he announced a few seconds later.

Arissa tilted her head and stood up. “I’m leaving now.”

That time around, he did not say anything.

Instead, he took her straw hat and put it on for her. After that, he put on her sunglasses for her and pulled her hat lower.

“You don’t have to sneak around when you come to see me,” he said.

With her sunglasses on, Arissa glared at him and retorted, “Well, it doesn’t matter to you, does it? If the others see me here, they’ll get curious for sure.”

“I’m giving you another day off,” Benjamin declared, putting his hands in his pockets while fixing her with an intent gaze.

At that, the corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched.

One day? I’ll take that. I’ll make the arrangements for Grandaunt at the hospital today, and the kids are going to school tomorrow.

With that thought in mind, she turned to face him and said, “Do we have to deal with Tim’s enrollment in the afternoon?”

“There’s no need for that. Just send him to school tomorrow morning!” Benjamin replied.

He was going to have Ethen take care of that in the afternoon.

Arissa nodded. “Bye!”

With that, she left without looking back.

Benjamin’s gaze remained locked on her until she was out of his line of sight. Only then did he head back to his seat and continue working.

Arissa got into his private elevator, so she did not have to worry about seeing anyone on the way down.

The More the Merrier Chapter 685 However, she bumped into a few of her colleagues from her department when she got out of the elevator. Coincidentally, they were coming in from outside.

She felt somewhat guilty but reckoned no one would recognize her with the hat on, so she walked out confidently.

Right then, one of the colleagues thought she looked familiar. “Could that be Ms. York?”

“How could that be? Ms. York is on leave, no? Wouldn’t we know if she had returned? Besides, she would’ve greeted us!”

“Well, her looks are comparable to Ms. York’s, though I wonder what she’s doing here!”

While chatting with each other, they walked toward the elevator.

Arissa overheard parts of their conversation and felt bad. Although I won’t be working today, I’ll definitely return and work hard with them tomorrow.

After getting out of the building, the bodyguard saw her and opened the car door for her.

A few employees, who were passing by, could not help but glance at her a few times.

“Is she a celebrity? Was she here to see Mr. Graham?”

“She’s even using Mr. Graham’s car! It seems like there’s something going on between them!”

The edge of Arissa’s mouth twitched, and she did not even dare to take off her sunglasses after the car door was shut.

There’s something going on, all right. I have six children with him!

“Mrs. Graham, why are your lips swollen?” Edwin asked suddenly.

His voice had her return to her senses, and she flashed him a sheepish smile.

“Maybe I bit on them just now. Are they very swollen?”
