Chapter 770: Chapter 771

Chapter 771 Getting Yelled At Ethen took one look at his angry employer and retreated carefully. Benjamin turned over his shoulder and shot him a glare. “Inform the managers from all departments to attend a meeting!”

“Got it!” Ethen sighed inwardly. A disaster is incoming. Arissa had to attend the meeting, too. She packed up her stuff and went to the conference room.

Everyone hadn’t seen her for some time, so they were surprised to see her at the meeting. After their initial shock, they greeted her warmly. “Ms.

York, you’re back from your vacation?”

“Yes. Hello, Mr. Felch, Mr. Rock,” Arissa greeted her colleagues cheerfully. That was what Benjamin saw when he strode into the conference room. At the sight of Arissa exchanging pleasantries with the managers from various departments, he scowled in displeasure.

“Mr. Graham!” everyone greeted him. Noticing his glare, Arissa flashed a pleasant smile and greeted him along with everyone, “Mr. Graham!”

“You look relaxed, huh?” Benjamin scoffed. Everyone exchanged looks after sensing Benjamin’s displeasure. Once Benjamin took his seat, Ethen gestured for the rest to sit down, too.

“All departments, report your work progress to me!” Benjamin ordered curtly. Everyone felt a chill go down their spines. As no one dared to speak, Ethen had to volunteer to be the first one.

As expected, Benjamin reprimanded him harshly. “Did you complete the task I assigned to you?” Benjamin demanded. “Mr. Graham, I shall relay your orders right now!” Ethen replied hastily.

I just received his order a while ago. After arriving at the company, he wanted to hold this meeting. There was no time for me to carry out his order.

Benjamin’s voice was icy as he announced, “I’ll be deducting a month’s bonus for that.”

Despite his reluctance, Ethen had no choice but to accept it. Benjamin swept his gaze around the silent room. “Do y’all want to have your bonuses deducted?”

It was unavoidable to get yelled at, so Arissa glanced at the rest and responded, “I’ll go first.” Everyone’s gazes landed on her, and they heaved a sigh of relief inwardly.

Someone had volunteered to go first, and they wanted to delay their turn as long as possible. Benjamin shot her a sidelong glance.

Arissa reported, “I wasn’t at the company recently, but no one in my department slacked off. No security breaches happened. The research and development proposal is ready. I’ve sent it to your office, Mr. Graham. After getting your approval, my department can start on it. I’ll catch up quickly on the other tasks that are behind schedule.”

Benjamin snorted. “When did you hand it to my office?”

Arissa gave him a look and responded, “Yesterday noon, Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin’s Adam’s apple bobbed slightly. He had just arrived at the company today and didn’t notice the proposal on his desk.

“When will you catch up on the work that is behind schedule?”

“Today. Will that do?” Arissa directed a level stare at him.

Benjamin raised his brow. “Ms. York, are you sure?”

As he was practically breathing down her neck, Arissa felt anger rising within her. “If I can’t complete everything by today, I shall give up on my bonus.”

“If I’m not mistaken, your bonus is already gone,” Benjamin sneered.

Arissa parted her lips and retorted, “You don’t have to pay me my salary. Will that do?”

It was her fault for not coming to work and delaying the work progress.

Ethen glanced at them both anxiously. If he presses on, Ms. York might resign on the spot.

Benjamin harrumphed in response. “Remember what you said!”

Arissa wanted to yell at him that she wouldn’t forget anything she said, but they were in the conference room.

Thus, she had to swallow her retort.

Benjamin gestured for the other departments to report their progress and then proceeded to yell at the managers. Compared to them, Arissa had had it easy.

Ethen saw their suffering, but he couldn’t do a thing to save them.

The only way out is if Mrs. Graham is willing to placate Mr. Graham.

The More the Merrier Chapter 770 EX-husband Groveling to Me Chapter 730 Let Victor Shoot For You He wrote a note discreetly and handed it to Arissa: Mrs. Graham, you should pacify Mr. Graham. Otherwise, everyone can’t work in peace this morning.

He also drew a crying emoji at the end of his note.

After Arissa read the note, the corners of her lips twitched. Pacify him? How do I do that?

She scribbled a reply: I don’t know how to do that!

Ethen nearly burst into tears.
