Chapter 755 Working Overtime With Benjamin
“I’m rooting for you, Tim! You can definitely do it!” Subsequently, Arissa went on to encourage all the children. “When you’ve gotten good grades, I’ll bring you all wherever you want to have fun and eat whatever you want!”
Putting away his phone, Zachary declared, “Mommy, I’ve recorded everything you said, lest you go back on your word!”
The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. “You’ve promised, so you’ve got to keep your word, Mommy!”
Oliver was exceedingly confident, for obtaining good grades was as easy as pie to him. “I’m a woman of my word!”
Arissa nodded with a smile. “Teach Tim and Jesse everything you know.”
“We’ve been doing that all along, Mommy!” Zachary replied, grinning from ear to ear. Hearing that, Arissa nodded. “Don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll supervise them and teach them whatever they don’t understand!” Gavin promised.
“You’re all my precious children!”
Arissa leaned down and pecked them all on the cheek. That had the children giggling away. “Mrs. Graham, Mr. Graham asked that you go to the study,” Edwin murmured, approaching Arissa.
Nodding, Arissa instructed him to take care of the children before going to the study. “Help me sort all that out.”
Benjamin pointed at the printer.
Upon seeing that he was really busy, Arissa went over and helped to sort the documents out.
He had already printed a few sets, so she categorized everything and stapled them together.
“Also, there’s this. Go through them for a bit.”
Benjamin tossed a few technical documents at her.
Following that, Arissa could only sit down and focus on reviewing the documents.
They worked for more than an hour.
When the children didn’t see her coming out even after they had gone upstairs and bathed on their own, they trotted over to the study.
Six petite heads poked into the room.
At the sight of both Arissa and Benjamin busy with work, they all sighed.
“Mommy is still busy,” Gavin turned and said to the others.
“Are they going to be busy for a long time?”
Tim stared at him.
In response, Gavin shook his head. “I’ve got no idea!”
Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse heaved a sigh.
“Let’s go and see whether Mr. Whitley has prepared supper! Then, we’ll call Mommy to eat!”
“Let’s go!”
The children charged into the kitchen. Edwin was elated to see them.
“Kids, have you all bathed?”
All six children nodded. “Yup! We’ve all bathed!”
“We even helped Jesse bathe!” Gavin exclaimed proudly.
Edwin stroked their heads affectionately before telling them to wait in the dining room while he hastily went about preparing supper.
Meanwhile, Benjamin had already caught sight of the children when they poked their heads into the room. He glanced at the woman, who didn’t notice anything.
Indeed, it was easy for Arissa to ignore everything around her when she was focused on work.
After an indeterminate time, she sensed the man’s eyes on her and lifted her head. All at once, she met his intense gaze.
“What is it?”
Benjamin’s gaze swept across her exquisite features. “Go and rest. I’ll finish the remaining work.”
Since there wasn’t much left, Arissa declined. “Only these two copies are left. I’ll finish them first. Then, you’ll also be able to finish work faster.”
Benjamin’s thin lips turned up slightly. “It’s a waste of talent to have you hold the post of technical director. Why don’t you switch over and be my assistant?”
Arissa was momentarily taken aback. “There are specializations in different careers, so I’d better stick to my forte. Besides, don’t you already have Ethen?”
Benjamin arched a brow. “You can learn more if you work alongside me.”
“No, thanks. I’d like to spare some time to spend with the kids.”
Arissa didn’t want to be too busy, and neither being the CEO’s assistant or secretary would leave her with much time on her hands.
Benjamin was already busy enough, yet she might be even busier.
Benjamin stilled for a second. All of a sudden, he remembered Darius’ advice. Indeed, he usually had little time to spend with the children.
A heartbeat later, Arissa’s voice rang out again. “If you’ve got time, you should also spend more time with them.”
Benjamin looked at her for a while. He then got to his feet and declared, “Let’s go!”
Arissa was stunned for a moment. Surprise flooded her when she saw that there were still unfinished documents on the desk.
“You’ve still got work, no?”
