The More the Merrier novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22 Resemblance

The next day, Arissa arrived at Graham Group as expected and was received by Ethen.

He did not dare to leave and waited together with her in Benjamin’s office.

“Ms. York, I’m so sorry about yesterday. I hope you don’t take it to heart. Ms. Adams’ decision does not represent Mr. Graham’s!” Ethen poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

“It’s all right. I didn’t think it through and left without saying anything. I didn’t expect Mr. Graham to be willing to give me another chance, and I’m quite surprised,” Arissa said with a chuckle.

Ethen himself was surprised that Benjamin would go back on his decision since he was the one who gave him orders never to bring up Arissa’s name ever again.

“Ms. York, have some tea!”

Arissa nodded slightly and started sipping on the tea. “Mr. Frank, you can leave if you’re busy. I’ll wait for Mr. Graham myself. This time, I’ll definitely wait until he’s here.”

Ethen laughed and turned to leave after settling her down. He made sure to tell the secretary to be alert and report to him if anyone were to come up, Danna especially, just in case she messes things up once again.

Arissa sized up the office and sipped on tea while waiting for Benjamin.

An hour later, there were still no signs of him. She looked at the time. Does the CEO of such a huge corporation not have a sense of punctuality?

Ethen got someone to prepare fruits and snacks, coming in apologetically.

“Ms. York, Mr. Graham was caught up with some issues at home and left later than usual. I hope you can be patient and wait a little longer.”

“It’s all right. I have nothing else to do anyway. I’ll wait for Mr. Graham to arrive,” Arissa replied.

Ethen spoke a few more words to her before leaving and called Benjamin’s number. He did not pick up his phone.

What’s Mr. Graham doing making her wait?
