Chapter 22 Resemblance

The next day, Arissa arrived at Graham Group as expected and was received by Ethen.

He did not dare to leave and waited together with her in Benjamin’s office.

“Ms. York, I’m so sorry about yesterday. I hope you don’t take it to heart. Ms. Adams’ decision does not

represent Mr. Graham’s!” Ethen poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

“It’s all right. I didn’t think it through and left without saying anything. I didn’t expect Mr. Graham to be

willing to give me another chance, and I’m quite surprised,” Arissa said with a chuckle.

Ethen himself was surprised that Benjamin would go back on his decision since he was the one who

gave him orders never to bring up Arissa’s name ever again.

“Ms. York, have some tea!”

Arissa nodded slightly and started sipping on the tea. “Mr. Frank, you can leave if you’re busy. I’ll wait for

Mr. Graham myself. This time, I’ll definitely wait until he’s here.”

Ethen laughed and turned to leave after settling her down. He made sure to tell the secretary to be alert

and report to him if anyone were to come up, Danna especially, just in case she messes things up once

again.

Arissa sized up the office and sipped on tea while waiting for Benjamin.

An hour later, there were still no signs of him. She looked at the time. Does the CEO of such a huge

corporation not have a sense of punctuality?

Ethen got someone to prepare fruits and snacks, coming in apologetically.

“Ms. York, Mr. Graham was caught up with some issues at home and left later than usual. I hope you can

be patient and wait a little longer.”

“It’s all right. I have nothing else to do anyway. I’ll wait for Mr. Graham to arrive,” Arissa replied.

Ethen spoke a few more words to her before leaving and called Benjamin’s number. He did not pick up

his phone.

What’s Mr. Graham doing making her wait?

Ethen called the Graham residence, and the butler told him that Benjamin had left for the company early

on.

Benjamin had indeed arrived at the company, but he was in his car at the underground parking, staring at

his phone. The screen showed his office’s surveillance footage.

His eyes were fixed on the woman in the guest area. He could not see her face, only her back.

Benjamin wanted to see how long she could wait. As time went by, Arissa had not shown a hint of

impatience. She sat on the couch while flipping through a magazine, which came as a surprise to him.

Benjamin’s eyes flashed. It’s about time. He got out of the car and headed upstairs.

Arissa waited for another half an hour before hearing some sounds. The sound of leather shoes on the

ground ensued, and she turned to look.

Benjamin’s handsome face greeted her. His face was perfectly flawless and all too familiar. Upon

scrutinizing him closely, Arissa’s eyes widened in shock.

Why does this man look like the four kids back home?

Arissa was dumbfounded and jolted up in surprise. She looked at Benjamin with a look of wonder, heart

beating faster.

The man had a strong presence and an icy aura, especially when he raised his eyebrows and looked

toward her. His gaze was so intense that Arissa could not bring herself to look him in the eye.

Benjamin saw the surprise on her face and sneered secretly, thinking she was love-struck.

“Arissa York?”

His voice was cold, devoid of any warmth, and had a tinge of arrogance.

Arissa snapped out of her trance and quickly retracted her gaze. “Yes, I’m Arissa. You… Must be

Benjamin Graham? Mr. Graham?”

She could guess from the man’s imposing manner. Aside from that, no one else would be able to take

the elevator in the room up there.

Benjamin walked to the side of the couch and sat across from her. “Sit!”
