NovelEnglishAvrissa straightened out her clothes and checked if her clothes
were disheveled in any way. By the time she lifted her head
again, Ethen had carried a few documents into the office.
The assistant was stunned at the sight of Arissa sitting in his
superior's chair.
Ignoring the awkwardness in the air, she tried to act normal
and greeted him, “Mr. Frank!”
Gah, this is so embarrassing. It's as if | was caught red-
handed for doing something wrong.
Ethen returned to his senses and nodded in response.
“Ms. York, you're here!”
“Yes, I'm here to deliver Benjamin's breakfast.”
She gestured at the food container on the desk and got up to
open it.
“I brought a lot of food. Would you like to have some?”
Noticing that Benjamin had not yet taken a bite of it, Ethen
smiled and said, “Ms. York, I've already had my breakfast. Is
Mr. Graham not around?”
Didn't he come into the office just now?
“Oh, he's in there!”
Avrissa pointed at the lounge.
Ethen sneaked a glance at her, secretly observing her.
Her face is bright red. Could they have done something
naughty in here?
At that thought, he dared not stay around any longer.
After placing the documents on the desk, he said to Arissa,
“Ms. York, could you please tell Mr. Graham to sign these

them.”
Then, he scurried out of the office.
He knew his days would be numbered if he had ruined it for
Benjamin.
Arissa was befuddled when she noticed how fast Ethen had
left the office. Why did he run out? Is he afraid that a tiger will
devour him?
She turned to look at the lounge. Well, Mr. Graham is just as
close.
Upon recalling how the man almost took her
right then and there, Arissa took her straw hat and hurriedly
headed for the door.
I'd better scram before he comes out.
Just when she was about to step out of the door, a warning
uttered by a deep voice sounded from
behind her. “Just you try and step out of the door.”
Avrissa paused right in her tracks, feeling deflated.
Does he have an eagle's eye or what?
Then, she turned around and looked at the man who was
standing by the lounge's door.
Avrissa pointed out the window and stated, “I have to go to the
hospital now.”
“Come over here!”
Benjamin's brows were deeply knitted as he walked over to his
desk.
After taking his seat, he cast his gaze on her. His presence
was so overbearing that she had no choice but to comply.
In the end, Arissa gulped and made her way over to his side.
“Is there anything else that you need from me?”
Benjamin gestured for her to come to his side, but she did not
do as instructed. Instead, she took a seat right opposite him.
“What is it?” she asked as she sneaked a glance at him,
avoiding his eyes the whole time.
“Wait for me to finish my breakfast!”
Benjamin suddenly took the food container and started to eat.
He did not utter a word as he ate his breakfast gracefully.
Avrissa could not resist the urge to admire his perfect features.
The man before her was such a beauty to behold, especially
his thick and long lashes.
They were so perfectly curled that she felt an inevitable sense
of jealousy.
Perceiving her gaze on him, Benjamin lifted his head and was
met with her fervent stare.
He would have lost his temper if he had
caught any other woman staring at him like that.
However, the person was Arissa, so he was delighted.
Benjamin did not say anything and let her continue gawking at
him. His jubilant mood had induced a great appetite.
It was not until he finished his food and walked toward her did
she snap out of her daze.
He lifted her chin and looked down at her. His regal bearing
made her heart race.
Again, she crimsoned.

“Ethen!” Benjamin said aloud.
Avrissa hurriedly moved her chin away from his grip and
avoided his eyes.
She could feel the butterflies in her stomach and the flutters in
her heart.
Ethen came into the office not long after. However, he dared
not look around carelessly.
“Mr. Graham!”
“Go and fetch some ointment.”
“Sure,” Ethen answered before running off once again.
Arissa was shocked.
“Why did you ask for ointment?”
The only response she received was Benjamin's gaze on the
corner of her lips.
Avrissa then realized that she was still in pain. It completely
slipped her mind earlier.
Instinctively, she lifted her hand to touch her wound, but
Benjamin stopped her and scolded, “Don't touch it! You have a
lot of germs on your hand!”
Avrissa shot him a sideways glare.
“Don't touch it if you want it to heal!” he warned.
The woman let out a chuckle from the overwhelming fury.
“I wouldn't have gotten hurt if you hadn't bitten me.”
Benjamin's thin lips quirked into a grin when he noticed the
anger in her eyes.
“I couldn't help it. Your lips were too enticing.”
Avrissa's face turned bright red.
