Chapter 775 Benjamin Turned Off The Surveillance System Arissa smiled and finally decided to have a short break. She rose to her feet and approached them. âThank you, guys.â
âWhy are you thanking us? You should thank Benjamin instead!â Kingsley teased her and threw a glance at Ethen. âEthen, am I right?â
Casting a look at Arissa, Ethen nodded and said, âYeah! Ms. York, Mr. Graham barely had anything after knowing you were not going up for lunch.â
Arissa was stunned. He barely had anything?
âMaybe heâs not hungry. Oh, forget about him. Itâs no big deal even if he skips a meal. Letâs dig in!â Kingsley handed Arissa a fork. Arissa took it from him, then he scooped some salad for her. âEnjoy.â
Arissa could not help feeling embarrassed. âMr. Watts, Iâll help myself. You should eat too. Mr. Frank, come and join us!â âSure!â Ethen sat down jubilantly and joined them at the table.
Seeing them bury their heads in their food, Arissa followed suit. It was indeed a harmonious sight when the threesome sat around the coffee table, having their meal.
Meanwhile, Benjamin, seated in his office, would turn to look in the direction of the door from time to time. Kingsley is not really eating together with Arissa now, is he?
Seconds later, he stood up and sat behind his desk again. He took a document but was not in the mood to flip through it. He tapped on the keyboard, and soon, the harmonious scene of the threesome having their meal in Arissaâs office was shown on the computer screen.
At the sight of Kingsley and Ethen chatting and laughing with Arissa, Benjamin turned off the surveillance system right away in exasperation. Next, he pressed the button for the internal line, thinking of instructing Arissa to come up.
However, he dismissed the idea the next second and called Ethen instead. Ethenâs heart skipped a beat when he saw that it was Benjamin who had called him.
âLook at you. You look so scared,â Kingsley teased. Ethen smiled bitterly. âMr. Watts, since youâre not afraid of Mr. Graham, why donât you answer the call, then?â
âWell, my phoneâs not the one ringing.â Kingsley pursed his lips. Arissa looked at them. Ethen quickly answered his phone. âMr. Graham...â
âPass the phone to Kingsley!â Benjaminâs intimidating voice sounded from the other end of the line.
Chuckling inwardly, Ethen handed his phone to Kingsley. âMr. Watts, Mr. Graham wants to talk to you.â
Kingsley shot daggers at Ethen and took the phone from him. âBenjamin, do you need me for something?â
The man on the other end of the line thundered, âGet your ass up here!â
Kingsley smiled sheepishly. âBut I havenât finished my meal.â
âYou have one minute!â
Ah! Thatâs a warning!
Touching the tip of his nose, Kingsley looked at Arissa with a smile. âArissa, Iâll buy you a meal next time. I have to go up now!â
With that, he rushed out of her office.
âMs. York, enjoy your meal. I have to get going too. Iâll be back later to clean up.â
Ethen quickly made himself scarce as well.
Silence ensued in the whole office. Looking at the dishes on the coffee table, Arissa could only continue eating alone. Since Kingsley and Ethen did not eat much, she had a bloated stomach after finishing all the dishes. After clearing everything away, she went back to work.
Benjamin was looking through a document when Kingsley and Ethen stepped into his office.
With a smirk, Kingsley sat right in front of him and knocked on the desk. âQuit pretending. Why did you ask us to come up?â
Benjamin lifted his head and shot him a glare. âKingsley Watts, you must be very free now, huh?â
Kingsley quirked his brows. âOf course not. Ainât I working for you here? My goodness! I donât even have time to enjoy my lunch!â
Benjamin snorted. âThis is not a cafeteria. Itâs okay you can leave now.â Kingsleyâs lips twitched. So his motive for asking me up was to chase me away!
He bent forward and fixed his eyes on Benjamin. âLet me guess. Are you jealous because you saw us accompanying Arissa to have lunch in her office?â
Benjamin narrowed his eyes at Kingsley. Kingsley chuckled. âDare you say that you didnât look at the surveillance footage just now?â
âGet lost!â Benjamin demanded him to leave.
