Chapter 37 What Perfume Is That
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat as she felt his gaze scanning her from head to toe.
Benjamin lifted his chin, gesturing for her to get in the car.
Bewildered, she asked, “Is there something wrong, Mr. Graham?”
“We will talk about it in the car,” said Benjamin in a deep voice while staring straight at her.
His gaze was so sharp that even the sunglasses she was wearing failed to block his aggressive stare.
Arissa cast a glance at her daughter. Seeing that Ethen was looking after her, she bent down and hopped into the car.
Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Ethen playing with a little girl. Nevertheless, he turned around and get into the car after her, not forgetting to close the door behind him.
As he got into the car, Arissa felt the pressure instantly in the air. It was her first time to be this close to Benjamin.
She gulped nervously as his scent enveloped her in the tight area. Her heartbeat was racing wildly which did not help to alleviate her stiffness.
As she stole glances at Benjamin, the latter was pursing his lips with a cold, impassive look. She quickly retracted her gaze.
It’s starting to get ambiguous in here.
After preparing herself, she decided to break the silence in the air. “Mr. Graham, is there anything wrong?”
Upon her call, Benjamin turned and stared at her. His gaze was so intense that he could have seen through her.
“Do you live here?”
Uh!
“Ah, yes!” Arissa confessed honestly. There’s no point lying to him as he had seen it.
“Your profile does not suggest that you live here.”
Arissa took a quick glance at him. She was not sure whether she was exposed. Hence, she decided to take the initiative.
“The address on my profile is the place where I used to live. I haven’t planned to move here before I return. Therefore, I used that address when I joined the company. Is this critical to my job, Mr. Graham? I think it’s merely a small matter. Please be straight to the point as I have other pressing matters to handle.”
The indifferent look Benjamin was wearing gave her chills. She felt stressed staying in the same space with him. He was unlike her four children, who were energetic and lively.
Thinking of her children, she could not help but size him up. She wondered whether she should pluck a bit of his hair and save it for later.
At last, Benjamin said, “Someone hacked into the surveillance camera system of my house. You shall be in charge of installing a new system for me.”
