The More the Merrier novel Chapter 124

Chapter 124 Dine With Me

Benjamin tapped the table. “Well?”

Arissa couldn’t make sense of the man in front of her. His expression was completely impassive.

Her imagination was running wild, and she tried her best to tamp it down. Surely there was a proper explanation for all of this.

She walked forward.

Now, Arissa stood just a few steps away from him.

Benjamin’s gaze swept over her clothing and settled on her bare calves. He furrowed his brows.

Arissa shrank in on herself as she noticed his dark expression. Her heart thudded.

“Is this what you wear to work?” Benjamin’s gaze was sharp.

His expression grew darker as he remembered that there were mostly men in the IT department.

Puzzled, she looked down at her attire.

She wore a proper knee-length A-line skirt.

It wasn’t revealing in the least. Does the company really have such a strict dress code?

“This is how I dressed overseas, Mr. Graham. Is something wrong?”

Most white-collar women she knew dressed as she did. Arissa couldn’t find any fault with what she wore.

“I don’t care what you did overseas. Do not come to work like this again!” Benjamin commanded in a low voice.

The corner of her mouth twitched downwards, but she made herself reply, “I understand.”

Seeing that this man was still glaring at her legs, Arissa’s felt her face heat up. “Mr. Graham, does the company have a code of conduct?”

Benjamin’s gaze finally met her face. He raised a brow. “It does.”

“I’ll ask Mr. Frank for a copy and follow it exactly. Is there anything else, Mr. Graham?” Arissa couldn’t think of any other flaws, but clearly it was all up to him.

She couldn’t help but scoff inwardly. How could this man have so many rules?

Benjamin’s gaze swept over her a final time. “No, you can get back to work. Be early next time!”

“I will.” Arissa nodded and turned, leaving Benjamin’s office. She breathed a sigh of relief.

The first thing Arissa did was get a copy of the company’s code of conduct from Ethen’s office.

Now she could finally head back to her own office and start working through the main tasks of the day.

Afterward, she flipped to the section of the code of conduct outlining the company’s dress code. It clearly stated that a knee-length skirt was proper office attire.
