Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Free Meal Arissa ruffled his hair lovingly and asked gently, “Didn’t you say that you were at school?”

It was not a coincidence as they had just spoken to each other over the phone less than ten minutes ago.

A devious look flashed in Gavin’s eyes. “Hehe... I wanted to surprise you!” he said softly.

Upon hearing that, Arissa laughed and gave him a hug. She was indeed surprised.

“I don’t think you’ve had your meal yet. Do you want to go grab a bite with me?”

She was completely ignoring the two men behind her.

Benjamin fell into a thoughtful silence as he watched her behave like Gavin’s mother.

When Gavin had called her mommy earlier, she did not correct him. That night... Was it really her?

Kingsley coughed loudly to draw their attention back to him.

Everyone immediately stood up and greeted the two men respectfully. “Mr. Graham, Mr. Watts, hello!”

Kingsley chuckled. “May I join?”

There was no way they could reject him, so they promptly asked the waiter to get an additional chair for the table. “Of course! Come take a seat, Mr.

Watts.”

At the same time, everyone was staring at Benjamin, unsure if he wanted to join in as well.

His gaze was on Arissa. She felt a little intimidated and stood. With a faint smile on her face, she greeted, “Hello, Mr. Graham and Mr. Watts. Are you here for a meal as well?”

“Get Gavin over here,” said Benjamin coldly as he settled into the seat next to hers.

His sudden demand made Arissa freeze.

Kingsley was all smiles as he sat down as well, and everyone moved to make space for him.

Now that they were here, the atmosphere had become awkward.

Arissa eyed the two of them. Are they here for a free meal?

She called for a waiter to bring another set of cutlery and sat down with Gavin.

“Ms. York, how was work today?”

Gavin blinked his eyes at Arissa. He felt overjoyed as he could finally be with his mother without needing to hide anything.

Her eyes darted around the room for a while before finally responding, “It was all right.” She could not bring herself to tell the truth after sneaking a glance at the man seated next to her.

“I know you must be very good. Anyone who works in Daddy’s company is excellent!”

The IT department looked at Gavin fondly, feeling giddy from being complimented.

On the other hand, Kingsley was taken aback by Gavin’s behavior. The little boy used to keep to himself and would refuse to speak even when asked.

But now, he had become a completely different person after meeting Arissa, and the more he looked at them, the more he realized that they were rather similar in appearance.

“Hey, beautiful!” Kingsley grinned cheekily as he called out to her.

Benjamin’s face darkened as he glared at Kingsley. The latter ignored the glaring man, keeping his eyes on Arissa.

“Mr. Watts, you can call me by my name,” she said awkwardly.

She felt a little embarrassed when he called her “beautiful.”

“Arissa?” Kingsley tried again, intentionally using a honeyed tone of voice.

Arissa gulped uncomfortably. It was fine if they were friends, however, they barely knew each other.

Refusing to give up, Kingsley tried another nickname. “Issa?”

Arissa was rendered speechless.

Instantly, the atmosphere in the room became cold and silent.

Arissa slowly turned her gaze to Benjamin, taking notice that the man was glaring at Kingsley as fury burned in his eyes.

“Scram if you’re going to keep fooling around!”

Kingsley snuck a glance at him. When he saw Benjamin’s expression, he was overjoyed.

Hahaha... Looks like Arissa is someone really special to Boss. He even managed to get Gavin to be with her without anyone knowing the truth.

“Ms. York, why are you guys having lunch so late?”

Gavin’s question drew Arissa’s attention back.

She looked down at him fondly and patted his head.

“We got off work at twelve and came here right away. It’s not that late! Come on, let’s dig in.”
