The More the Merrier novel Chapter 75

Chapter 75 Hard To Date

Arissa did a quick calculation.

“The most pressing thing is to upgrade the company system. It will take a month to do so. The other issues are less time-consuming and can be resolved within half a month. However, I cannot promise anything for research and development. I will need at least three months to come up with a prototype…”

Benjamin strummed his fingers on his folded arms.

Arissa watched him as the atmosphere went silent again.

Once this man stops speaking, the pressure piles on. Thankfully, I face four kids at home every day, so I’m not so scared of him.

Benjamin’s downcast eyes were like unfathomable pools of mystery that in no way betrayed his inner thoughts.

“Mr. Graham…”

Arissa was about to ask him for his decision when the phone on his desk rang.

Shaun was calling.

Benjamin gestured at her to take a seat and picked up the call.

“Are they out?”

Arissa sat down accordingly and waited for him to conclude the call.

“Benjamin, the result is out. The two are not related by blood.”

An icy look flitted across Benjamin’s eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at Arissa.

She felt a little puzzled. Why is he looking at me like that? It’s so weird.

“I got it!”

Benjamin hung up the call and furrowed his brows. The chilly aura that emanated from him dropped by several degrees further.

He said indifferently, “Get back to work.”

“Yes, Mr. Graham. I’ll take my leave now.” Arissa got up to leave.

Not understanding the reason behind his change of attitude, she nodded at a friendly-looking Kingsley and walked out of the room.

Kingsley smirked. “Beautiful, I don’t know your name yet. Mine’s Kingsley!”

Arissa nodded. “Arissa here.”

Kingsley was no stranger to her. After all, he was a media darling. It was difficult not to recognize him.

Watching her walk out of the room, Kingsley quickly got up and caught up with her. “How about a lunch together?”

When he felt the sharp gaze that pierced him from behind, he curled his lips in a devious smile.

“Sorry. I’ve made arrangements with my department’s colleagues.”
