Chapter 895 A Tiny Present From Benjamin

Arissa grinned. “I feel more at ease when I hold a file. Just tell me why you called me over! I’ve got tons of work to do.”

“Why am I unaware of how busy you are when I’m your superior?” Benjamin leaned forward and kissed her. Blushing, she hurriedly stepped aside. “Behave yourself!” she warned.

However, her gentle voice only made him more delighted. His eyes sparkled as he pinched her cheeks affectionately. “Are you feeling better?”

“Yeah!” Arissa responded softly while avoiding his gaze. “Sit down whenever you can during work. If you’re tired, get some rest in the lounge upstairs,” Benjamin exhorted, his gaze fixed on her.

Hearing that, Arissa glanced at him and flashed him a soft smile. “Got it.” In truth, it was an empty promise on her side as she had no plans to come up to the lounge and rest in case it triggered gossip.

“Anything else?” she asked. Arissa felt her face grow hot under the man’s gaze. Benjamin stroked her head and said, “That’s all. You may leave now.”

Dumbfounded, Arissa voiced, “That’s all? Aren’t you going to tell me about the matters discussed at the meeting?”

“It has nothing much to do with your department,” he answered. He then gave her a once-over before returning to his desk and continuing working.

Meanwhile, Arissa twitched her lips as she eyed the man who was focused on his work. He sounded so urgent when he summoned me just now. And now, he looks as if nothing’s wrong. Impressive.

“I’m leaving!” she announced, purposely raising her voice.

To her dismay, Benjamin merely looked up and gave a gentle hum in response.

At that sight, Arissa pursed her lips and turned on her heels.

“Hey, come here for a while!” the man called out suddenly.

Arissa turned around to look at him. “What?”

“Come here,” instructed Benjamin as he motioned for her to approach.

Given no choice, she cast him a suspicious glance before walking over.

“Come here.” He beckoned her over again.

Arissa could not help but eye him suspiciously. What is he up to?

Benjamin’s sudden behavior deterred her from getting closer until she saw him opening his drawer.

As he handed her a tiny present, she felt her heart skip a beat. Is this what I’m thinking?

Her heart raced, and excitement washed over her.

“What’s this?” she asked.
