The More The Merrier Novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Jealousy

Benjamin tapped on his thigh and lowered his gaze, making Arissa even more nervous as she watched me.

“Why would your brother have my number?”

Arissa’s heart skipped a beat. She did not know how to elaborate the lie, and even if she were to tell him the truth now, there would be no guarantee he would believe her.

Furthermore, Benjamin seemed to suspect that she did it.

“Perhaps it was a coincidence?”

Benjamin scoffed.

Arissa was at a loss for words. “It really isn’t me who sent that, but I’ll apologize to you since I’m responsible for his misdemeanor. I sincerely apologize for all of the inconvenience we’ve caused you.”

Arissa was Zachary’s mother, and hence, she was obliged to apologize on his behalf.

“How about I give him a call to ask? I’ll lecture him about this when I get home. I’m terribly sorry for the inconvenience.”

How brave of him to send a text to Benjamin. I was wondering why he would think of calling me here, and this is why!

“There’s no need.”

Benjamin no longer wanted to know, and the call would not change a thing.

If she did it, she would have it all planned out. The call will be just for show.

Arissa watched his expression of distrust and was speechless. She no longer wished to explain herself. She, too, would not believe what she had said if the roles were reversed.

“Mr. Graham, if you called me here today because of this, you can go ahead and reject me. However, I hope that you could give me a chance. I believe that you won’t be disappointed with my capabilities should you hire me!”

I should at least fight for it since I’m already here.

Benjamin watched as Arissa pitched herself, and the corners of his mouth curved into a smirk. She’s finally revealing her intentions?

“So confident?”

Arissa listened to his arrogant tone and suppressed her dissatisfaction. “I have the right to be confident. Mr. Graham, what do you say? Let’s be direct and not waste each other’s time.”

Benjamin’s eyes darkened. No one had ever spoken to him that way, and she was the first.

“Ethen!” he shouted.

A short while later, Ethen ran into the room.

He looked at them in curiosity. “Mr. Graham, you called?”

“Bring the computer over here and test her. If she passes, hire her. If not, show her the door!”

Benjamin ultimately decided to give her a shot since she had gone through a lot of trouble for the opportunity.

Arissa was surprised as she assumed the man would not even consider giving her a chance. He agreed?

Ethen smiled and quickly grabbed the computer. “Ms. York, this way, please!”

Arissa walked over and sat in front of the office desk. She opened the portal and started maneuvering.

She designed two programs to attack one another.

Ethen was impressed when he saw that. “Ms. York, how did you think about coming up with this?”

Arissa was fully absorbed in her task, going against her own system.

Benjamin’s eyes flashed when he saw Ethen’s amazement and approached them.

He scanned through it, and his eyes immediately lit up. I have to admit it. This woman does have the skills.

As Benjamin continued staring at Arissa, he fell deep into thought. Could she be the one who hacked my computer last night?

His handsome face darkened at the thought.

Ethen was enjoying himself and did not notice Benjamin’s expression.

He excitedly said to him, “Mr. Graham, don’t you agree that Ms. York’s skills are extraordinary!?”

Jackpot. With her, the company’s Engineering Department will definitely level up and become indestructible.

Benjamin glared daggers at his assistant, and his face darkened further when he saw that Ethen’s face was full of admiration.

He was oddly unhappy. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Arissa’s fingers flew across the keyboard. She managed to beat the complicated system not long after.

Turning to look at Benjamin, she asked quietly, “Mr. Graham, what do you think?”

The man said nothing in response and merely stared at her intently.
