Chapter 332 A Lawyer Comes Knocking
Benjamin swept his gaze across the room and saw that everyone was present.
However, some of them didn’t have time to change into formal clothing, while others got their buttons
mismatched.
“Next time you’re here for the meeting, make sure you dress properly before entering the office!”
The moment Benjamin reprimanded them, they straightened their clothes at once.
As he swept his gaze across the room again to inspect, everyone felt edgy in their seats.
“Let’s begin!”
Based on routine, everyone took their turns to present their reports.
In the meantime, others snuck a glance at Benjamin and were unsettled upon seeing the grim look on
his face.
When it was Arissa’s turn, Benjamin decided to skip her on the account of her scalded tongue.
“Ms. York, you will report to me later. As for the rest of you, continue.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtGlancing at him, Arissa saw that Benjamin was listening intently to the progress reports from the other
departments.
Whenever there were any problems, he would resolve them decisively.
Throughout the meeting, he would exude the impressive aura of a charismatic leader.
Arissa was filled with admiration when she watched how efficient Benjamin was at work.
After the meeting was chaired for an hour, it finally came to an end.
“Mr. Graham, are you feeling better now?”
“Mr. Graham, why don’t you rest for a few days more?”
The department managers expressed their concerns.
“As you can see, I’ve already recovered,” Benjamin declared.
He then turned to Arissa and said, “Arissa, come with me to my office.”
Stumped, Arissa had no choice but to follow him under everyone’s surprised gazes.
Once they were gone, the managers began to gossip.
“Mr. Frank, what’s Ms. York’s relationship with Mr. Graham?”
It was obvious to them that Benjamin treated Arissa differently. In fact, they seemed to be quite close.
Ethen beamed. “Whatever it is. Just take good care of Ms. York.”
Considering how sharp everyone was, they could read between the lines of what Ethen had said.
“When did they start going out with each other?”
Sweeping his gaze at the managers in the room, Ethen grinned.
“All right now. Stop being busybodies. There’s no way I’m going to answer a question like that. Also,
have your departments finished your work on schedule? If not, you’d better get it done so that you will
not end up pleading for an extension when you fail to deliver. By then, there’s no way I’m going to help
you.”
“Mr. Frank, I’ll buy you a drink when you’re free!”
“I’ll buy you lunch!”
“Let’s go to the club! It’ll be on me.”
Ethen pursed his lips. “I don’t have the time.”
Oblivious that everyone else was gossiping about them, Arissa followed Benjamin back to his office.
The moment they returned, the latter dove back into his work.
“Mr. Graham…”
“Get back to work,” Benjamin grunted before typing furiously on the keyboard.
“Don’t I need to present the report to you?” Arissa asked.
Benjamin glanced at her. “If I had wanted you to report it, I would have asked you to during the
meeting. Why would I wait till now?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmArissa seethed. But that’s not what you said earlier!
“Is your tongue better now?”
Arissa raised her brow when she saw the concerned look in his eyes. “I have no trouble talking.”
It was no longer painful. All she felt was a little numbness.
“Mmm-hmm,” Benjamin grunted before adding, “if Gavin finds out, he will blame me for it.”
Arissa rolled her eyes at him. “Don’t worry. I won’t tell the kids about it.”
Returning to her desk, she wondered what the big deal was for him to admit that he cared for her.
Hmph!
After he saw the smug look on Arissa’s face, Benjamin let out a sigh before throwing himself back into
work.
Suddenly, Arissa’s phone rang. When she saw that it was an unknown number, she ended the call
without answering.
After a while, it rang again, causing her to frown in annoyance.
Who can it be?
Benjamin looked in her direction. “Why aren’t you picking up?”
Returning his glance, Arissa went out to answer it.
“Hello, Ms. York.”
Arissa was stunned. “Who are you?”
“Ms. York, I’m Ms. Adams’s lawyer, Leon Landon. Can we meet?”
