The More the Merrier novel Chapter 160

Chapter 160 Praise From Benjamin

Benjamin got up and approached her. His unsmiling and solemn face could stress anyone out.

Arissa’s eyes flickered before she replied, “It’s personal!”

Benjamin cast a mocking gaze. “Is it a date? Looks like you’re not competent in your job at all!”

He was secretly irritated as he assumed Arissa might have gone out to meet a man.

Angered by Benjamin’s words, she glared at him and uttered, “I can go wherever I want after working hours!”

How can he call me an incompetent worker just because I go out for lunch? He is out of his mind!

Benjamin examined her face before returning to his seat. His fingers tapped the desk contemplatively.

Arissa furrowed her eyebrows peevishly. “Mr. Graham, if you have something to say, just say it.”

She wondered what Benjamin was up to.

“Give me a report on your work progress!” Benjamin ordered her grimly. For some reason, he did not want to make life easy for Arissa.

Arissa froze for a moment. She noticed the stern expression on Benjamin’s face.

Despite her annoyance, she was obligated to follow his instructions even though it was currently after hours. She was a well-paid employee, so she had no reason to ignore him.

Arissa put her bag down and quickly composed herself. Then, she relayed her work progress to Benjamin in an orderly manner.

Just like that, half an hour had passed before the briefing ended.

“That is all. What are you orders, Mr. Graham?” asked Arissa.

Benjamin looked up at the woman in front of him. He was impressed with her high efficiency and proper planning.

“Nice work!” Benjamin nodded.

Arissa was surprised to hear that. She did not think Benjamin would praise her. Pleased with her boss’s approval, she let out a sigh of relief.

“Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Graham. It’s all part of my job, after all,” said Arissa.

Benjamin stared at her. He could feel her glowing with humility and confidence.

When Arissa was about to excuse herself, her stomach picked that moment to let out a loud growl that sounded throughout the quiet office.
