You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Outside Benjamin's office, it took Arissa quite a while before

she mustered up her courage to call out, “Mr. Graham!”

“Come in!” Benjamin did not even look up from the document.

Avrissa scanned around before walking over.

She stood in front of Benjamin's desk for quite a few minutes,

but the latter still did not say anything to her.

Thus, she placed the piles of documents on his desk and

started, “Mr. Graham, I've completed these. As for the

remaining parts, I'll work overtime tonight to finish them.”

Benjamin finally lifted his head from the document. He looked

at her grimly and asked, “Arissa York, are you doing this on

purpose?”

Arissa was dumbfounded. Me? Doing this on purpose? Isn't

this the work progress that he asked for? Of course, | have to

multiply my efforts to finish the work that has dragged on for a

few days.

Benjamin snapped, “Do you intend to work overtime so the

kids will put the blame on me?”

Avrissa pursed her lips. “I'll bring the documents back and finish

my work at home. They won't know about it.”

Benjamin gritted his teeth at her eloquence. “You don't have to

work overtime. Just do it tomorrow. And if you can't finish it

tomorrow, there's always the following day. Just reserve your

time to accompany the

kids!”

The next moment, he cast his head down to look at the

document again.

Astounded, Arissa asked, “Didn't you urge me to finish my

work earlier?”

Benjamin looked up and scowled at her. “Don't make me say

that again!”

Looking into the sternness in his eyes, Arissa nodded in

bafflement. “Yes, Mr. Graham.”

Knowing that she did not need to rush her work, she heaved a

sigh of relief. “Mr. Graham, if there's nothing else, I'll get back

to work now.”

Never had Benjamin expected work could be so irritating for

him one day. When Arissa mentioned work numerous times,

he felt a rush of indecipherable rage surging from within him.

“Take a look at your mistake.” He tossed her

document aside.

Arissa looked at him before picking up her document and

browsing through it.

After flipping through the document of almost twenty pages,

she did not spot any so-called mistakes circled by Benjamin.

Perplexed, she looked at him again. However, he remained

seated with his eyes glued to the document.

She had no choice but to recheck every page.

Benjamin flashed her a glance before looking at his document

again.

After going through the document twice, Arissa still did not

spot any problems. “Mr. Graham, there's nothing wrong with

my document. Would you mind enlightening me?”

Benjamin looked up at her quizzically. “Nothing wrong?”

“Yeah! I've gone through it a few times.” Arissa fixed her eyes

on him.

Benjamin remained expressionless. “I might have remembered

wrongly. Try checking through the other documents again. I'm

sure there's something wrong with one of the documents.”

Seeing that the man was serious, Arissa could only continue to

go through the other documents.

Soon, one hour had passed, but she had yet to spot the

problem. “Mr. Graham, I've checked through all the documents

and there really isn't any problem!”

Knowing thot she did not need to rush her work, she heoved o

sigh of relief. “Mr. Grohom, if there's nothing else, I'll get bock

to work now.”

Never hod Benjomin expected work could be so irritoting for

him one doy. When Arisso mentioned work numerous times,

he felt o rush of indecipheroble roge surging from within him.

“Toke o look ot your mistoke.” He tossed her document oside.

Avrisso looked ot him before picking up her document ond

browsing through it.

After flipping through the document of olmost twenty poges,

she did not spot ony so-colled mistokes circled by Benjomin.

Perplexed, she looked ot him ogoin. However, he remoined

seoted with his eyes glued to the document.

She hod no choice but to recheck every poge.

Benjomin flohed her o glonce before looking ot his document

ogoin.

After going through the document twice, Arisso still did not

spot ony problems. “Mr. Grohom, there's nothing wrong with

my document. Would you mind enlightening me?”

Benjomin looked up ot her quizzicolly. “Nothing wrong?”

“Yeoh! I've gone through it o few times.” Arisso fixed her eyes

on him.

Benjomin remoined expressionless. “I might hove remembered

wrongly. Try checking through the other documents ogoin. I'm

sure there's something wrong with one of the documents.”

Seeing thot the mon wos serious, Arisso could only continue to

go through the other documents.

Soon, one hour hod possed, but she hod yet to spot the

problem. “Mr. Grohom, I've checked through oll the documents

ond there reolly isn't ony problem!”

Sensing that the man was not astounded at all, Arissa knitted

her brows. Did he ask me to do this on purpose?

“Just put the documents aside if there aren't any problems. I'll

go through them when I'm free later.” Benjamin gestured to

her.

“Okay! I'll go back to my office, then!” Arissa put the

documents down and turned to step out.

He must've done that on purpose.

Right that instant, Benjamin shot the irritated Arissa a glance.

“Get yourself ready. We'll go to fetch the kids from school in a

while.”

Arissa was livid. I've wasted one hour because of him! | could

have finished more work within that hour.

Back in her office, she quickly tidied up her desk and brought

her remaining work home, seeing that school would be over

soon.

The man's temper is unpredictable. Who knows, he might

change his mind again at any moment.

By the time she went downstairs after tidying her things,

Benjamin was already waiting in his car.

She glanced at it and walked in another direction, not

expecting Benjamin to be waiting for her.

Unexpectedly, a bodyguard stepped forward hastily and stood

in her way. “Mrs. Graham, please get in the car. Mr. Graham

has been waiting for you for quite a while now!”

Arissa was stunned. He's waiting for me?

At that moment, the car window was rolled down, and

Benjamin's voice sounded. “Get in.”

Avrissa turned to look at the man in the car, only to find him

leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.

After much hesitation, she got in.
