Chapter 90 A Treat From Benjamin

Benjamin turned around and returned to his seat. On the other hand, Arissa felt her heart race inside her chest. She patted her chest to calm herself down from his sudden warning.

Could it be that he found out about it? That’s impossible! Even Gavin did not know I was his biological mother. Benjamin would react differently if he knew I was Gavin’s mother.

Arissa’s mind was cluttered. However, she quickly roused herself from her thoughts and fixed her clothes. She also gave her cheek a gentle smack.

She had to find an opportunity to find out what Benjamin’s attitude was toward Danna.

Benjamin continued eating casually as Arissa walked away.

The man exuded an elegant aura as he ate. He looked completely different now compared to when he was warning her just a moment ago.

She tugged on the corners of her lips.

“Ms. York, come over! There are desserts here!” Gavin called to her.

Arissa gave her son a gentle smile and took a seat beside him.

“Ms. York, this is for you!” Gavin handed her some desserts.

“Thank you, handsome Gavin!” Arissa stroked his head dotingly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Gavin grinned as he looked at her. He had long, beautiful eyelashes.

Arissa could not move her gaze away from him.

Benjamin’s brows furrowed at the sight of it.

Kingsley shifted his gaze between Benjamin and Arissa. He definitely sensed some intimacy between them.

“Y-You…”

Kingsley’s mouth was stuffed with lamb steak by Benjamin before he could say anything.

He removed it from his mouth and teased, “Boss, you’re so good to me!”

Benjamin only stared at him coldly. Kingsley felt a chill run down his spine instantly and smiled awkwardly.

“Dig in, Arissa. This lamb steak is delicious, you should try it!” Kingsley tried to divert the topic.

“Thank you, Mr. Watts. I’m full!” Arissa smiled politely. However, she decided to try some out of courtesy.

“You don’t have to eat anymore since you’re already full. I am still hungry anyway.” Benjamin moved the dish away from her.

He ignored everyone’s gaze and ate his food calmly. “Since Ms. York just joined us today, this treat is mine. Feel free to order anything you wish to try!”

Everyone looked at each other silently with excitement in their eyes.

It was well known that the food in Drawbridge Dining was superb. Nevertheless, good food came with an expensive price tag.

The employees did not dare to order too much food just now to prevent their employer from overspending.

However, they started ordering more good food after hearing what Benjamin said.

Arissa was amused as she looked at her colleagues’ thrilled faces.

“Why didn’t you guys order more food just now? Are you all afraid that I wouldn’t be able to pay for it?” Arissa teased.

“We were just worried for you!”

“We didn’t want you to spend so much on us.”

“That’s right! We didn’t want you to overspend since you just joined us and haven’t received any salary.”

Arissa beamed. “So, you guys aren’t worried for Mr. Graham?”

“That’s different! Mr. Graham offered to treat us himself. We are very sure his wallet can take the toll.” Everyone started to flatter Benjamin.

“It seems like it has been a while since all of you last ate good food. Boss, did the company benefits reduce, or did you decrease their salary?” Kingsley joked.

Benjamin let out an unnoticeable snort. He did not reply to Kingsley.

“Ms. York, would you like some apple juice? It is pretty nourishing,” a colleague asked Arissa.

“Yes, please!” Arissa beamed.

Benjamin glanced at them. His expression darkened as he saw Arissa chatting happily with the technicians from the IT department.

The guys did not realize something was off.

They did not notice Benjamin’s change in expression and continued conversing with Arissa. They were recommending good food to her enthusiastically.

“I thought you said you were full?” Benjamin shot Arissa a sharp glance.

Arissa was startled. “Since it’s Mr. Graham’s treat today, I can eat more, right?”

Benjamin did not say anything.

Kingsley was amused by both of them. He decided to initiate a toast to liven the atmosphere.

“Arissa, cheers! Welcome to Graham Group! We wish you success!”
