The More the Merrier novel Chapter 786

Chapter 786 Teach Me A Lesson

Benjamin kept his eye on her, his gaze deep and somewhat mystifying. “Get over here and wipe my back!”

Arissa twitched her mouth slightly as she glared at the man in disbelief. Argh! How much more shameless can he get? I can’t believe he wants me to wipe his back for him!

“In your dreams!” she huffed before hightailing it out of the room, her heart still pounding in her chest. Quickly, she gathered her laptop and bag and walked toward her room.

Benjamin furrowed his brows but said nothing more as he dropped his pants and stepped into the bathroom. Once she was back in the comfort of her room, Arissa buckled down and started working.

Meanwhile, the joyous shouts and laughter from the six children rang out from time to time. As soon as he had finished showering, Benjamin promptly walked out to the balcony and looked downstairs.

After spending a few minutes watching Darius and the children romp happily around in the garden, he changed into a fresh set of clothes and stepped out of his room.

Following his instincts, Benjamin turned on his heel and headed toward Arissa’s room.

Sure enough, he found her so immersed in her work that she didn’t even realize he had entered the room.

Shortly after, Benjamin was standing behind her and peering over her shoulder. The next second, he leaned down and pointed to an area on the document. “The data here is wrong.”

Arissa nearly jumped out of her skin as she turned around and found herself staring at the face of her surprise visitor. “W-When did you come in?”

Benjamin studied the shocked expression on her face and harrumphed softly.

“I’ve been here for a while.”

With him standing so close to her, Arissa could feel his warm breath tickling her skin whenever he spoke.

On top of that, Benjamin’s freshly showered fragrance was so overwhelmingly enticing that she felt her heart pounding away again.

She quickly averted her gaze and shifted aside.

“What do you want, Graham?”

Benjamin gazed intently at Arissa and smirked when he saw the blush creeping up her cheeks. “Didn’t I tell you not to work overtime?”

“I’m not used to leaving work unfinished.”

“You want the kids to teach me a lesson? Is that it?” Benjamin asked as he casually leaned against the table with his hands in his pockets.

Arissa stole a glance at the man, and even she had to admit he looked incredibly charming.

“Oh? Are the kids capable of doing that?”
