Chapter 123 Look Your Fill

Danna seethed from her car as she watched Arissa enter the Graham Group’s building.

Didn’t I get rid of this woman? What is she still doing here?

No wonder Benjamin had been so surly with her lately. It was all Arissa’s fault.

It had never crossed Danna’s mind that Arissa might work here.

She was gripped with mad jealousy, and a sense of unease settled in her gut.

Danna clenched her palm into a fist and glared daggers in Arissa’s direction.

Arissa had to be out of the picture. If Benjamin ever realized that Gavin wasn’t really her son, she would lose her place in the Graham family.

Even worse, it was likely that Benjamin’s instincts would compel him to probe further into the sordid events of the past.

Danna trembled as she thought about the other child.

She drove away at once.

Arissa had just stepped inside when Ethen instructed her to go to Benjamin’s office. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

As she stood before the door of her CEO’s office, she straightened her clothing and knocked once.

“Come in!” A low, deep voice intoned, carrying a tinge of indifference.

Arissa gulped and opened the door.

Benjamin was reading documents behind his desk. He hadn’t even looked up.

Noticing that he appeared busy, Arissa stepped forward and waited in silence.

Her gaze lingered on him unconsciously.

He was extremely handsome in a way that would turn heads and attract attention in a crowd.

With dark brows, a straight nose, and eyes so deep one could lose herself in, it was as if his every feature had been perfectly sculpted. Here was a man who had been blessed by the heavens.

His intimidating expression made Arissa turn away, but he commanded a rich and compelling presence that drew her back in.

Arissa’s cheeks reddened, and her heart skipped a beat.

This man was the father of her children.

He was so wealthy and high-ranking to be practically unreachable.

If I told Benjamin the truth, would he help me?

Feeling her gaze, Benjamin finally looked up and faced her directly.

Arissa’s dazed expression gave him an odd sense of delight.

“Looked your fill yet?” His eyes flashed with a hint of derision.

Arissa had returned his gaze and looked away sheepishly. “My sincerest apologies, Mr. Graham!”

Her heart beat faster and she could feel her cheeks reddening.

Being caught in the act of openly staring at someone was plainly embarrassing.

“What are you apologizing for?” His piercing gaze compelled her to speak.

She gaped momentarily, then explained in a small voice, “I shouldn’t be daydreaming in your office, Mr. Graham.”

He stared at her intently. “What were you thinking about?”

Arissa raised her head, then flinched away from the intensity of his gaze.

There was no way she could admit to what she had really been doing back there.

“What did you call me up for, Mr. Graham?” Arissa asked, avoiding the question.

“You’re late!” Benjamin said suddenly.

Arissa’s jaw dropped.

“I wasn’t!” she protested weakly.

She had been cutting it close by a few seconds, but Arissa didn’t see how it meant she was late.

“Don’t you know that managers need to come in ten minutes earlier?” His eyes flashed sternly. “As a manager, being almost late to work doesn’t set a good precedent either.”

She was speechless.

Was this really all he had called her up for?

“I won’t do it again.”

Even though he had just come to her house to eat breakfast, it was as though he no longer recognized her.

It was said that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach, but clearly, this statement didn’t apply to Benjamin.

Benjamin eyed her up and down, noting her lack of response. He raised an eyebrow. “Do you feel I am being unfair?”

Arissa stared blankly. “I’d never!”

Benjamin huffed. “Come here!”

She froze, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Is this even appropriate?
