Chapter 166 Car Accident
Zachary rolled his eyes. “Don’t go anywhere and stay close to Benjamin, Mommy. Danna will not hurt you with him around!”
Upon hearing her son’s words, Arissa was greatly touched.
“Okay!”
Danna is so afraid that Benjamin will find out what she had done. Why don’t I just expose her scheme? Besides, she worries that I’ll snatch Benjamin away from her. I’ll just do it since it isn’t a bad thing.
This time, there was no way Arissa would stay quiet and let Danna manipulate her once more.
She hung up the phone after talking to her child. Arissa then reapplied her makeup and got herself in the best condition before looking for Benjamin.
Before entering the man’s office, Arissa took a deep breath at the door.
“Ben…”
Looking at the people in the office, Arissa halted. She felt embarrassed about what she had in her mind just now.
“Sorry to disturb you, Mr. Graham. You may continue.”
All eyes were on Arissa. She was stunned and was going to leave the office when a man’s voice suddenly boomed.
“Come in!”
Benjamin glanced at her and then to the other managers, his eyes darkening.
“Please leave us for a moment.”
The managers were speechless and exchanged sneaky glances at one another while pondering inwardly. There’s definitely something between Mr. Graham and this newcomer.
When they walked past Arissa, they wore knowing smiles on their faces.
Arissa greeted them with a polite smile, not knowing what they were thinking about, and walked toward Benjamin’s desk.
“What’s the matter?” Benjamin asked before she could make a sound.
Looking at Benjamin’s stern gaze, Arissa felt a little guilty.
Then, she gave him a brilliant smile. “Thank you, Mr. Graham!”
Benjamin raised his brows. “What for?”
“Didn’t you ask Mr. Frank to follow and protect me just now?”
Arissa sized Benjamin up but he remained calm, not as awkward as she thought.
“You came to look for me because of this?”
Benjamin did not shift his gaze away from her.
Arissa laughed. “And more!”
The man merely stared at her, waiting for her to continue. Because of his dominating presence, Arissa could not help noticing her heart was pounding loudly in her ears.
What if he isn’t that easy to be flirted with? Besides, we’re in the company now. Will he chase me out of this company if I were to enrage him? Should I stop?
Previously, Arissa was filled with confidence. Now that she was face-to-face with Benjamin himself, however, she was like a deer in the headlights.
“I wasn’t lying to you about Danna. You’ll understand what I’m talking about once you listen to this.”
Upon saying that, Arissa placed the recording pen in front of Benjamin, who then shifted his gaze toward the object before questioning, “What is this?”
“Evidence!” Arissa wore a serious expression on her face as she exclaimed.
Benjamin took a glance at her before taking the recording pen into his hand. Suddenly, his phone rang.
He grabbed his phone, and his eyes flickered.
“Hello? Benjamin…”
A woman’s fearful and helpless voice was heard. Soon, Benjamin’s expression turned grim.
“What happened?”
“I got into a car accident… I’m so scared… Benjamin… I’m bleeding a lot. Do you think I’ll die?” The woman’s voice was feeble and soft. One’s heart would ache for her upon hearing how weak she sounded.
Arissa knitted her brows as she could hear the voice from the other end of the phone.
“No, you won’t! Where are you?”
As he said that, Benjamin quickly grabbed his coat and hurriedly strode out of his office.
Arissa lowered her eyes, and her heart sank. How ironic.
She thought Benjamin had nothing to do with this woman, but it turned out she was the one who deceived herself. As her gaze fell on the recording pen on the desk, she walked over and took it in her hands.
Looks like I can’t rely on others for some things. It’s better to do it myself.
Upon returning to her office, Arissa still had not calmed herself down. A sense of annoyance arose within her as she pondered about the situation.
Danna, that b*tch! There’s no way this is all a coincidence. How could someone get into a car accident just like that? Is she doing this on purpose?
Regardless of whether Danna’s car accident was coincidental or intentional, there was no doubt that Benjamin still cared for her.
