The More the Merrier novel Chapter 68

Chapter 68 Reprimanded On First Day Of Work

Arissa rose to her feet and greeted everyone with a smile.

“Hi, everyone, I’m Arissa from the IT department. It’s my first day at work today. Pleasure meeting you guys!”

“From the IT department?”

“What a waste for such a beautiful woman to work in the IT department!”

“I’ll give you better treatment if you join my department! How about it? It’s an easy job in my department. We are only busy at the end of every month to get payment received on time. Other than that period, we are pretty relaxed.”

Arissa was amused looking at the enthusiasm displayed by her new colleagues.

She politely rejected the offer. “I don’t know anything other than IT-related matters.”

“That’s not an issue! I’ll teach you!”

“Hey! How can you shamelessly poach her in broad daylight?”

Everyone was teasing each other and getting to know their new colleague before Benjamin’s arrival.

Meanwhile, Ethen followed closely behind Benjamin as they strode toward the meeting room while reporting to the latter his agenda.

As they neared the meeting room, Benjamin frowned upon hearing the unusual merriness coming from inside.

Stepping in, he glanced across the room and saw everyone surrounding Arissa. A flash of coldness flickered in his eyes instantly.

“Ahem!”

Having worked for Benjamin for many years, Ethen could sense something was amiss with his boss and quickly signaled the rest.

Everyone took their seats accordingly as soon as they realized Benjamin’s arrival.

“It seems like Ms. York is quite popular here!”

Arissa was left standing by herself and meeting Benjamin’s gaze as everyone took their seats.

She was stunned at the man’s sarcastic remark.

Nevertheless, she replied with a smile, “I’m flattered, Mr. Graham.”

Giving him a hard stare, she did not budge an inch.

Benjamin looked intently at her for a brief moment before averting his gaze and taking his seat.

Seeing that, Arissa heaved a sigh of relief.

“Take a seat, Arissa!”

Her colleague sitting next to her signaled her to take a seat softly.

Arissa responded with a polite smile and sat down.

Benjamin shot a glare at her colleague. Noticing the man’s gaze, no one dared to speak a word.
