Chapter 774 Kingsley Deliberately Had Lunch With Arissa
I need to earn money to raise the kids. If I don’t complete my work, I’ll lose my salary and would’ve worked for him
in vain. The thought made Arissa extremely furious. Why would I work for him without receiving anything in return?
Adrenaline coursed through Arissa’s veins as she threw herself into work. At noon, her colleagues informed her that
it was time for lunch, but she merely grunted in acknowledgment and went back to work.
It wasn’t until her phone rang that she stopped working. “Hello?”
“Ms. York, come upstairs for lunch.” “No, thanks. I need to catch up with work,” Arissa told Ethen. She then
returned to her work. Upstairs, Ethen turned to Benjamin and reported, “Ms. York needs to work and doesn’t have
time to have lunch.”
Benjamin snorted. “Who told you to ask her to lunch?”
Ethen was surprised to get snubbed. Didn’t Mr. Graham acquiesce to it? He didn’t say anything when I made the
call. Now, he’s blaming me for calling Ms. York.

away!” “Mr. Graham, you only had a few bites,” Ethen reminded him. Benjamin’s irritation crackled. “I said, clear
these away!”
Ethen let out a soft sigh. He walked over and was about to do as told when Kingsley showed up. “Benjamin, I taught
the parents a lesson on your behalf. Oh? Did you prepare a spread because you knew I was coming?” Delighted,
Kingsley took a seat and grabbed a fork to eat.
Ethen couldn’t help but admire him for his courage. Benjamin shot him a look. “Did you clear all traces?”
Kingsley gobbled down the food in his mouth and nodded. “Yeah!” Benjamin’s brows scrunched up when he noticed
Kingsley taking one bite of each dish. The observant Ethen immediately grabbed one dish which Kingsley hadn’t
touched.
Kingsley glanced at him. “Ethen, how could you take the lamb chop away from me? Put it down!” “Ms. York hasn’t
had lunch yet!” Ethen informed him in a soft voice.
Taken aback, Kingsley whirled around to look at Benjamin. The latter was glancing at his phone with his legs
crossed. There was no telling what was going on in his mind.

For no reason, Kingsley felt a chill go down his spine. “Oh, so Arissa hasn’t eaten yet. Ethen, what are you doing?
Hurry, ask her to come upstairs for lunch!” Kingsley berated him.
Ethen was torn between laughing and crying. “I did, but she refused to come up. She’s busy with her work.” He
didn’t forget to give Kingsley a pointed look.
Kingsley glanced at Benjamin. “Benjamin, why didn’t you ask Arissa to come upstairs for lunch?”
“She can starve if she likes. That has nothing to do with me!” came Benjamin’s icy answer. Kingsley blinked in
bewilderment. “Benjamin, did you get into a fight with Arissa?”
Benjamin’s expression turned stony.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKingsley gaped in disbelief. “You really had a fight with her, huh?”
He turned to Ethen and asked, “Why did he fight with Arissa?”
Ethen dared not gossip about Benjamin in front of him and could only offer an embarrassed smile.
Shaking his head, Kingsley ordered, “Ethen, pack these up. I’ll deliver them to Arissa.”
“Sure!”
That was actually Ethen’s plan, but he had to delay his plan as Kingsley had shown up without warning.
Thus, Kingsley and Ethen left to deliver lunch to Arissa.
Benjamin glanced at them briefly before returning to his phone.
It so happened that all employees in the IT department had gone out for lunch, so there was no one around.
Kingsley knocked on the door to Arissa’s office.
“Come in!”
Kingsley opened the door and stuck his head in. Flashing a grin, he greeted, “Arissa!”
Arissa was surprised to see him here. “Mr. Watts? Why are you here?”
“I heard you haven’t had lunch yet, so we brought it down for you. I haven’t had lunch yet too. Let’s eat together!”
Kingsley gestured for Ethen to bring the food in and arranged them on Arissa’s coffee table without waiting for her
permission.
“Come, let’s eat. You can’t work while you’re starving, right? You need to fill your tummy to gain energy to work.”
