Chapter 268 This Is Considered Office Romance
Arissa gave him a look. “My colleague. I was asking him about work.”
Benjamin huffed in disdain. “You guys seem to have a lot to talk about. I didn’t expect that you’d get along so well with them. After all, it’s only been a few days.”
Arissa’s eyes gleamed with amusement as she stared at him. She could tell from his tone that it was dripping with sarcasm.
Benjamin frowned. “What are you looking at?”
Arissa smiled. “Graham, you’re not jealous, are you?”
Benjamin’s face darkened as he fixed her with an icy stare. “I don’t condone office romance.”
“Ohh…” Arissa drawled.
She stroked her chin, looking distressed.
“Graham, I’m your employee too, right? But you’re asking me to be your woman. So this goes against your principles, right? Since what we have between us is considered office romance. Is this really a good idea?”
Arissa blinked and stared at Benjamin’s handsome features.
Benjamin’s face darkened. “I only asked you to be my woman. I never said that we’re in a relationship.”
Arissa snorted. “Is there any difference? We’re a couple either way.”
Benjamin glared at her. “Then you should keep your mouth shut and just do as you’re told.”
Arissa was rendered speechless. How could someone be so shameless?
Whatever. I’ll just keep this a secret since there are plenty of perks dating him.
But Ethen already said all those things to my colleagues. Anyone would be able to tell that we have something going on.
Arissa blinked as she tried to come up with a countermeasure.
“What’s going on through your mind? Put the glass back.”
Benjamin shoved the glass to her when he saw her sly smile.
Arissa took the glass and stared at him.
“What do you think is going through my mind?” Arissa threw the question back at him.
Benjamin swept his eyes over her, picked up the document, and returned to his work.
Arissa pouted. “You’re still going to work?”
“Yes.” Benjamin replied flatly.
Arissa stared at him for a bit and said, “Do you want supper?”
Benjamin frowned. “No.”
“Then, do you want to go to the restroom?” Arissa nodded.
Benjamin looked up at her.
She smiled sheepishly.
“I’m just asking. After all, I’m planning to go to bed soon.”
Just in case he bosses me around after I fall asleep.
“Go to sleep then. And stop pestering me,” Benjamin warned and got back to work.
Arissa poured him a glass of water and placed it on his bedside table before making her way back to the couch.
She yawned and went to bed.
It had been a hectic day for her since she had been busying herself with work and taking care of Benjamin.
Arissa was so tired that she fell asleep the moment her head hits the pillow.
Benjamin looked up when he didn’t hear anything from her. The next thing he knew, he had placed the document down and was walking over to the couch.
He frowned when he realized what he was doing. I’m just checking in on her. He reasoned.
Arissa was curled up sideways on the couch with a frown on her face. She looks really uncomfortable, and where is her blanket?
Won’t she catch a cold tomorrow?
With that thought in mind, Benjamin scooped her into his arms and walked over to the hospital bed. He placed her down gently on the bed and covered her up with a blanket.
Arissa smacked her lips and stirred.
Benjamin paused. After making sure she was still out of it, he made his way to the other side of the room.
He picked up the documents and continued working on the couch.
He even switched most of the lights off.
I’m just letting her have a good rest since she has been taking good care of me.
Benjamin gave himself an excuse before getting back to work.
It was already twelve-thirty in the morning when he was done with work.
He packed up the documents, relieved himself in the restroom, and went to bed.
