The More the Merrier novel Chapter 685

Chapter 685 I Cannot Help It

Arissa straightened out her clothes and checked if her clothes were disheveled in any way. By the time she lifted her head again, Ethen had carried a few documents into the office.

The assistant was stunned at the sight of Arissa sitting in his superior’s chair. Ignoring the awkwardness in the air, she tried to act normal and greeted him, “Mr. Frank!”

Gah, this is so embarrassing. It’s as if I was caught red-handed for doing something wrong. Ethen returned to his senses and nodded in response.

“Ms. York, you’re here!”

“Yes, I’m here to deliver Benjamin’s breakfast.”

She gestured at the food container on the desk and got up to open it.

“I brought a lot of food. Would you like to have some?”

Noticing that Benjamin had not yet taken a bite of it, Ethen smiled and said, “Ms. York, I’ve already had my breakfast. Is Mr. Graham not around?”

Didn’t he come into the office just now?

“Oh, he’s in there!”

Arissa pointed at the lounge.

Ethen sneaked a glance at her, secretly observing her.

Her face is bright red. Could they have done something naughty in here?

At that thought, he dared not stay around any longer.

After placing the documents on the desk, he said to Arissa, “Ms. York, could you please tell Mr. Graham to sign these when he comes out later? I will be back shortly to retrieve them.”

Then, he scurried out of the office.

He knew his days would be numbered if he had ruined it for Benjamin.

Arissa was befuddled when she noticed how fast Ethen had left the office. Why did he run out? Is he afraid that a tiger will devour him?

She turned to look at the lounge. Well, Mr. Graham is just as close.

Upon recalling how the man almost took her right then and there, Arissa took her straw hat and hurriedly headed for the door.

I’d better scram before he comes out.

Just when she was about to step out of the door, a warning uttered by a deep voice sounded from behind her. “Just you try and step out of the door.”

Arissa paused right in her tracks, feeling deflated.

Does he have an eagle’s eye or what?

Then, she turned around and looked at the man who was standing by the lounge’s door.

Arissa pointed out the window and stated, “I have to go to the hospital now.”

“Come over here!”

Benjamin’s brows were deeply knitted as he walked over to his desk.

After taking his seat, he cast his gaze on her. His presence was so overbearing that she had no choice but to comply.

In the end, Arissa gulped and made her way over to his side.

“Is there anything else that you need from me?”

Benjamin gestured for her to come to his side, but she did not do as instructed. Instead, she took a seat right opposite him.
