You More Than Anything In The World novel Chapter 11

Danna let out a disdainful snort. With inexplicable animosity, she scoffed, “Now, be on your way out!” Arissa was breathless with anger. After shooting one last glance at Danna, she turned her back against Danna and left the room. Seeing how she had offended her potential boss’ fiancée, she reckoned that she probably did not have a chance of getting the job anymore. “Even if you really were his fiancée, you shouldn’t be so rude and unkind to others!” Arissa retorted. At this point, she was no longer intimidated by Danna’s threats. She was determined to leave this situation with her dignity intact. “You!”

Danna’s face began to scrunch up in anger. She glared at Arissa’s departing figure with sinister thoughts boiling within her. At this point, Arissa had walked out of Benjamin’s office and headed toward the direction of the elevator. She then boarded the elevator immediately. Just then, the private elevator inside the CEO’s office opened. Benjamin stepped out of the elevator. The man’s posture was tall and proud, while he had extraordinarily handsome features. He also radiated an innate sense of nobility that could make anyone’s heart in his presence flutter. Danna’s heart began to pound at the sight of him. Staring at Benjamin’s impeccably handsome face, a hint of madness arose within her.

This man was hers in her mind, and whoever was to stand in her way shall be met with death undoubtedly. With his long and narrow yet sharp phoenix eyes, Benjamin quickly scanned the room. However, instead of finding the supposed interviewee, he saw Danna instead. Immediately, he frowned at the sight of Danna. “Benjamin, you’re here! I brought you breakfast,” Danna exclaimed after quickly adjusting into a gentle expression. She then briskly walked over to Benjamin’s side and attempted to wrap her hand around Benjamin’s arm. However, Benjamin swiftly dodged that attempt of hers. He walked toward his desk with a stone-cold expression instead. “What are you doing here?”

he asked in an eerily cold voice, with no hint of warmth in his tone at all. Danna’s heart sank. Looking at her pair of lonely hands, the smile on her face began to stiffen. Nevertheless, she recollected herself and quickly followed after him, gathering a smile on her face once again. “Well, I was afraid that you haven’t eaten breakfast. Here, I made this for you. Please eat it while it’s still hot!” Danna replied as she opened the lunchbox and placed it on Benjamin’s desk. Yet, Benjamin only swept one glance at the lunch box before monotonously replying, “Please go and leave me alone.

I have other things to do.” Benjamin sat down and began to work. That eerily cold and apathetic attitude of his made her feel like her heart sank alongside a large stone. After all these years, he still refuses to forgive me? “Benjamin…” Danna called out. She could feel a tinge of sorrow in her nose. Seeing how indifferent and cold Benjamin was, her heart fluttered in panic. Especially after that encounter with Arissa, Danna sank even deeper with fear. If Benjamin were to find out… “I’ve just had my meal back home. Now, put these down and head off. I’m busy!” Benjamin ordered.

He cut her off abruptly without even casting her a glance, demanding that she left that instant. “In that case, please have them when you feel hungry later!” Danna pleaded. She cast him an unwilling gaze, reluctant to part ways with him. However, she soon spotted Benjamin dialing an internal extension number. It looked like he was summoning for Ethen. Immediately, Danna could tell what he intended to do next. Feeling panicked, she opted to strike first. “Oh, by the way, Benjamin, when I arrived at the office earlier this morning, there was a lady sitting here by the couch. She seemed to have accepted a phone call from another company inviting her for an interview. She requested that I convey this on her behalf.

Apparently, the other company managed to offer her a better remuneration package than Graham Group. The total remuneration offered by Graham Group was too low in comparison now. So she chose the other company and decided to leave this interview prematurely.” Benjamin’s face darkened immediately. The eerie sense of chills he radiated prior grew more intense too. Realizing how mad he had gotten, Danna secretly beamed with smugness. There shall be no chance for you to join Graham Group anymore, Arissa York. The one thing Benjamin hates most is people failing to keep their promises. He hates a sudden change to pre-agreed plans too. “Got it.” Benjamin put the phone back down.

He proceeded to ignore Danna and got back to work. Gazing toward her perfect guy, Danna hoped to stay on for a little longer. Nevertheless, in the face of Benjamin’s cold hostility, she did not dare to approach him anymore. Thus, she had no choice but to leave the office. Danna had just reached the office entrance when she bumped into Ethen. Upon seeing Danna, Ethen was stunned. “Ms. Adams!” Ethen addressed her. “Hmm,” Danna murmured. She put on her cold and aloof stance once again, then headed in the direction of the elevator with her head held high. This brief encounter had Ethen muttering inwardly. Ms. Adams can be pretty disrespectful and ill-mannered sometimes, huh?
