Chapter 809 Benjamin Takes Her To A Wedding

“What kind of tie is that?” Benjamin glanced at the tie she was holding, which obviously didn’t match his suit. After breaking out into a sheepish smile, she hurried back in to look for a different one. “Will this do?

After giving it a quick look, Benjamin bent forward in satisfaction. “Help me put it on.” Arissa’s eyes glazed over slightly when she caught sight of how dashing he looked.

Noticing the look in her eyes, Benjamin allowed his lips to curl up slightly. “Are you satisfied?”

Arissa snorted. “Can I return it to the manufacturer if I’m not?”

Benjamin cocked a brow. “Which part of me are you dissatisfied with?”

After scrutinizing him quickly, Arissa teased, “All of you!” Benjamin—amidst an exasperated snort—straightened his clothes and carried her bag for her. “Let’s go.”

Grunting in acknowledgment, Arissa followed him from behind. Benjamin, arm raised, gestured for her to take it, to which the smiling Arissa complied. Turning to look at her, Benjamin asked with concern, “Are you feeling better?”

“Yes, much better,” Arissa replied with flushed cheeks. Staring at her, Benjamin inquired firmly, “Did you apply the medication?”

His words utterly embarrassed Arissa. Can he stop talking about it?

“Yes.” Benjamin’s eyes darkened as he reminded, “Remember to apply it often so that you can recover quickly.” Arissa nodded. “I will.”

After leading her into the car, they rushed to the banquet venue. “Do you not need to prepare a gift?” Arissa looked at him.

“Edwin has taken care of it.” Arissa acknowledged his answer with a nod. That’s good. Nevertheless, she was still shocked over the fact that Benjamin was taking her to his friend’s wedding all of a sudden.

When she glanced at him, he returned her look with an intent gaze.

“What do you want to say?”

“Do I know your friend?”

“No.”

Smirking, he reassured her, “We’re attending a wedding banquet—that’s all. You don’t have to feel so nervous.”

“I know.”

Arissa smiled in response, for it was well within her capabilities to feast.

Upon arriving at their destination, Benjamin helped her out after alighting first. “Be careful.”

The attentive Benjamin shielded her head from the car door and even bent forward to adjust her dress train on her behalf.

Arissa glanced at him. “Thank you.”
