Chapter 742 He Does Not Mind It âMmm-hmm,â Benjamin hummed a reply and continued devouring the pasta. Throughout all, the man ate his pasta gracefully without making any slurping noises.
On the contrary, Arissa loved slurping her pasta as she believed it was tastier that way. She inevitably felt a little embarrassed as it seemed like she was being too noisy.
Since she was not hungry in the first place, she only ate a little chicken and barely any pasta. She was full after eating half a plate. âDonât force yourself if youâre too full,â Benjamin advised after catching a glimpse of Arissa rubbing her belly.
âItâs a waste to throw it away.â
Arissa glanced at the pasta on her plate. Itâs quite tasty. Itâll be a waste to throw such tasty food away. Right then, a hand holding a fork reached over and scooped all the pasta up.
Arissa stared at Benjamin in bewilderment. Does he not mind that Iâve eaten it? âYour eyes are about to pop out of their sockets,â Benjamin uttered without looking at her.
Embarrassed, Arissa shifted her gaze away from him to her plate of pasta. She realized there were only several strands of pasta left. She picked up the leftover strands of pasta with her fork and downed them with some sauce.
Unable to control herself, she snuck a few more glimpses at Benjamin. Barely anyone could resist Benjaminâs handsome appearance. He was as pretty as a picture no matter what angle it was.
It was, in fact, not appropriate to describe a manâs appearance as pretty. Yet, a term like âhandsomeâ was not enough to express his visuals. To call him a piece of art was not an exaggeration.
âAre you satisfied after staring at me like that?â All of a sudden, Benjamin turned and gazed at Arissa deeply. She awkwardly moved her line of sight away and changed the subject. âWhat were you busy with?â
âThereâs something wrong with a project.â
Arissa was surprised since she thought Benjamin would not tell her anything. He actually explains it to me. âHave you settled it then?â
âYeah,â Benjamin replied with a nod.
Arissa stared at him intently and became a little hesitant. Heâs so busy with work that he canât even have his meals on time. I better not tell him about the kidsâ matter, lest he gets worried.
âWhat is it that you wanted to tell me?â Benjamin put down the plate, wiped his mouth, and leaned back on his seat lazily.
His relaxed appearance made Arissa shake her head in dismissal. âItâs nothing. Iâm just curious what were you busy with.â
Noticing Benjaminâs firm stare, Arissa hastily averted her gaze and looked elsewhere.
âLet me clean up!â Having said that, she hastily got up and began clearing the plates.
âIs everything fine with Grandaunt?â Benjamin asked suddenly.
âHmm... Quite well, actually. I called Dr. Bailey, and he told me Grandaunt is feeling great.â Arissa then took the plates out to the cafeteria.
Benjaminâs gaze followed her closely.
Is she no longer angry with me? She even cares whether Iâve eaten or not. I guess sheâs not angry anymore.
The corners of Benjaminâs lips gradually quirked upward as those thoughts ran in his mind.
On the other hand, Arissa returned to her office straight after sending the plates to the cafeteria.
She tried calling Bradley but still could not get in touch with him. Without any other choice, she continued with her work and checked the media from time to time.
Nevertheless, there was still no news regarding the schoolâs scandal when work ended.
Arissa scrunched her brows. Could it be that those parents have stopped stirring problems?
She packed her stuff and prepared to fetch the children from school.
However, she had just stepped out of her office when she spotted Benjamin approaching her.
âIs anything the matter, Mr. Graham?â
âItâs nothing.â Benjamin cast her a quick look and leaned over to grab her bag from her. âLetâs leave together.â
With that said, he turned and strode out.
The More the Merrier ï¤Chapter 741 EX-husband Groveling to Me ï¤Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You Though slightly taken aback, Arissa quickly trailed behind the man, ignoring the curious glances of the colleagues.
After the two left, the crowd began whispering among themselves.
âIs Mr. Graham and Ms. York in a relationship?â
âThey look like they are! Mr. Graham even helped Ms. York carry her bag!â
âHow romantic! They even got off work together!â
âI canât believe Mr. Graham has such a gentle and caring side to him!â
âIf theyâre really together, I think they make a good pair!â
âWhat you think isnât important. Whatâs important is that Mr. Graham and his family have to think that way.â
