Chapter 161 Messing With His Lover
The food seemed more appetizing now that Arissa was in a good mood.
She chose to disregard her appointment with Danna.
That woman will ruin my mood anyway, so I might as well eat as much as I can over here.
Right then, her phone rang. Looking at the number on the screen, she hung up immediately. Gosh, why
is Danna so impatient?
Her phone rang another time, and once again she hung up. Annoyed, she put her phone on silent mode.
Benjamin looked at her and then at her phone. He asked, “Why didn’t you pick up the call?”
“It’s nothing important. I would rather not answer it,” said Arissa.
Benjamin was rendered speechless.
He believed she was hiding something.
So, you won’t entertain people you don’t like, is that it?
With that in mind, Benjamin’s mood lifted.
Danna sent her a text message. In it, she made her fury known: Arissa, come here at once, or you’ll

Arissa snickered. Ha! You just can’t wait, can you?
She replied: I’m held up at work. Do you suppose we can reschedule our meeting?
At Danna’s end, she violently tossed her phone on the table after she read Arissa’s message. Her face
scrunched up in anger.
Nice try, Arissa!
Not one to give up, Danna texted the woman again: How much time do you need?
Arissa almost burst out laughing when she read the reply. Danna seemed to be much more frustrated
than her. Next, Arissa chose to put down her phone to enjoy her lunch to her heart’s content.
Benjamin shifted his gaze from the phone to Arissa’s gloating face. Curious, he asked, “Who were you
talking to?”
Arissa stared at him and answered, “Your girlfriend.”
There was a pause before she added, “I was talking to Danna!”
Frowning, Benjamin asked, “What business do you have with her?”
Arissa scrutinized the man’s facial expression. She could sense his displeasure. Is he crossed because I
messed with his lover?
The thought somehow made her heart twitch. Arissa explained, “She contacted me first. Can you guess
what she told me, Mr. Graham?”
With that, she lowered her head. Suddenly, the food did not seem as fancy as before.
Nevertheless, she made sure not to leave on an empty stomach.
“You were supposed to meet her, weren’t you?” Benjamin asked, his eyebrows arched.
“Bingo!” Arissa answered as she ate.
Benjamin was relieved to hear that. However, his eyebrows remained knitted as he kept a straight face.
Arissa misread him. Her heart sank.
He still has feelings for Danna, hasn’t he?
“Where had you two agreed to meet?” he asked. He had no idea what was on Arissa’s mind.
“Sim Restaurant.”
The restaurant was located near the company. Arissa would pass by the place every day to and from
work.
At Arissa’s reply, Benjamin nodded without saying a word.
Arissa kept quiet as she ate her meal.
Eventually, she finished her food. “Mr. Graham, enjoy your lunch.”
Benjamin frowned when he noticed that Arissa had eaten so little. “Are you sure you’ve had enough?”
He glanced at her belly. Arissa blushed in embarrassment.

With that said, Arissa wiped her mouth with a napkin, grabbed her bag, and stepped out of Benjamin’s
office.
Benjamin watched Arissa leave until she was out of sight. This woman was clearly enjoying her meal.
Why had she suddenly lost her appetite?
He did not understand it. His face darkened even more when he recalled that Arissa was going to meet
Danna.
He promptly picked up his phone and made a call. “Follow her!” he ordered.
After he hung up, he stared at the remaining food on the table. He did not feel like eating anymore. He
ordered the staff to clean up the table.
Meanwhile, Arissa had no idea that Ethen was following her. She headed to Sim Restaurant while she
still had time.
When she arrived, there were not as many diners as she expected. It was still considered crowded as
most of the diners remained at their table and were chatting up each other after they had their meal.
Arissa scanned the place and found Danna sitting at a table by the window. She hesitated for a moment
before she made her presence known.
“Ms. Adams, I’m so sorry to have kept you waiting.”
