The More the Merrier novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Inexplicable Anger

A fit of inexplicable anger surged when Benjamin swept his gaze over Arissa’s fair neck.

How dare she wear that to work!

His face turned even more grim as he remembered how those people surrounded her earlier.

Arissa felt that Benjamin was intentionally picking on her.

However, she did not flinch. Instead, she took on the challenge.

“Sure. I’ll resign if I fail to deliver.”

Instantly, everyone gave her a look of admiration for her courage to retort Benjamin on the first day of work.

Having heard that, Benjamin raised his brows at her audacity.

Ethen looked at his boss, who remained silent, and cleared his throat before shouting, “Next!”

Arissa let out a sigh of relief when the next person in line started reporting.

It was only her first day of work, and her boss was already finding fault with her.

Despite Benjamin’s strict requirements, she was no fool either.

Sensing an intent gaze on her, Arissa looked over but saw no one looking at her.

She was slightly stunned. Am I imagining things?

Without thinking further, she averted her gaze and focused on the progress reported by other departments, trying to catch up with the pace of the existing business.

Suddenly, a phone vibrated loudly. Benjamin’s face darkened as his gaze swept across the table.

Everyone looked at each other as it was a known fact that Benjamin disliked getting disrupted during meetings.

As such, they had turned their phones off before coming into the meeting room.

“Sorry about that!”

Arissa was shocked when her phone vibrated and turned it off hastily.

She felt awkward to be watched by everyone at that moment.

“Switch it off for meetings next time!” Benjamin stated as he shot daggers at her.

“Understood!” Arissa nodded anxiously.

How could I forget to switch off the phone earlier!

After a while, she was shocked when a phone rang out again.

Quickly, she checked her phone to double confirm that it wasn’t hers.

Everyone’s gaze landed on the phone before Benjamin.

Arissa followed the direction where everyone was looking. She froze when her gaze met Benjamin’s.
