Chapter 623 Upset At Her Rejection
“Mr. Frank, why didn’t you register his number here?” Zachary asked.
“It’s more convenient for him to get a Dellmoor number. Besides, it’s cheaper that way,” Ethen explained.
Giggling, Oliver teased, “Mr. Frank, you get paid a lot. Why do you even bother about discounts?”
Ethen was embarrassed. “Oliver, don’t look down on the discount. Tim’s going to use this number for a long time, so he can save a lot of money this way.”
“How cheap can it be? Can I get one, too?” Oliver asked earnestly when he learned that he could save money this way.
Ethen glanced at him. “It’s a family plan under your daddy’s number, so it’s free.”
Oliver immediately said, “Mr. Frank, get us new SIM cards, too! We’re using international phone numbers, so it’s pretty expensive to make calls.”
His response rendered Ethen speechless.
“Sure,” he agreed hastily.
Mr. Graham will be delighted to find out about this.
“When you get new numbers, you can call each other for free! You can talk as long as you want. I’ll get one for Ms. York, too!” he offered.
The kids whooped happily.
After Arissa finished packing up, she went to the kids’ room and saw Ethen helping them.
“Mr. Frank, let them do it themselves.”
“Mr. Graham told me to help them out,” Ethen told her cheerfully. “Ms. York, you’ll have to help Mr. Graham with his luggage!”
As Arissa’s lips twitched in annoyance, Jesse hopped over to hug her legs.
“Mommy, Mr. Frank said he’ll register our numbers under a family plan. You’ll get one, too! That way, we won’t have to pay a cent to call each other!”
Amused, Arissa pinched her fluffy cheek. “It isn’t free. We’re not the ones paying for the plan.”
She lifted her head and told Ethen, “I don’t need that.”
“Ms. York, the company has to do that for you. You can also join Mr. Graham’s family plan with your existing number,” Ethen suggested.
He wanted nothing more than to be of help.
Join Benjamin’s family plan?
Arissa’s brows snapped together. If he marries someone else, it will be difficult to reverse the action.
“No need for that. If I no longer work at the company, it will be troublesome to cancel it.”
“What is troublesome to cancel?” A low voice rang behind her.
Arissa turned at her shoulder to see a brooding Benjamin.
“I was asking if Ms. York would like to join your family plan, but she finds it troublesome,” Ethen explained carefully.
Benjamin scoffed.
At once, the air became thick with tension.
Arissa peeked at him but met his icy gaze. Her heart skipped a beat.
Is he upset over such a minor matter?
“If you don’t think it’s troublesome, go ahead!” she declared.
With that said, she scurried out of the room.
She had no idea Benjamin would come after her. He pinned her to the door she had just slammed shut and towered above her.
“Arissa, what was that?” he demanded.
Arissa cowered back and pressed herself against the door.
He looks scary when he’s upset.
She mumbled in a low voice, “I didn’t mean anything. I was just afraid to trouble you in the future. That was why I didn’t want to join the family plan. That’s all. If you don’t mind, you can give me a brand new phone. I’ll accept it readily.”
Benjamin’s gaze darkened. “Do you want a new phone instead?”
Arissa parted her lips. I didn’t mean that!
However, she knew Benjamin wouldn’t spare her if she said otherwise. Thus, she swallowed her words.
Giggling, she responded, “Can I get a new phone?”
She observed his grim expression carefully and stiffened when she realized he was no longer mad.
