Chapter 764 She Is His First Crush
When she looked over, the scene had already changed. Maybe it’s not what I think it is. “Hey, did you see that? That’s Rosetta Adams, right? I can’t believe our CEO is with her!”
“You haven’t heard about it, have you? I heard they used to be really close to each other. They’re a match for each other, so it’s nothing strange if they’re getting married.” “Isn’t that Danna?”
“What Danna? Danna’s a loser in comparison to Rosetta. Even Rosetta’s toe is worth more than an entire Danna. If you insist that there’s some kind of similarity between them, I’d say the only thing they share is their surname. That’s also why our CEO had a relationship with Danna.”
“So that means Rosetta’s the CEO’s first love?”
“How can she not be?” Arissa shuddered. That woman’s his first love?
After taking a few more bites of her food, she lost her appetite. She then excused herself from her coworker and went back to the office.
Her coworkers shared a look with each other at that.
Just the day before, Mr. Graham left the office with Ms. York, so how could he possibly be with his first love right now? Is this what all rich men do?
Everyone could not help but begin feeling sympathy for Arissa. “Hey, hey. You guys, why are you all such busybodies? Mr. Graham might overhear you and fire you,” they angrily told the gossiping people, and the place immediately fell silent.
Everyone knew how much Benjamin hated gossip. “Ms. York didn’t eat much earlier. Let’s bring some desserts for her.”
“That’s a good idea. She can snack on them if she gets hungry.” A few of them agreed on that. After their meal, they bought some desserts and brought them back to Arissa.
“Ms. York, we’ve got some desserts to go for you. Hurry up and dig in. Don’t starve yourself and dive into work instead. It’ll be bad for you.”
Arissa was touched by how her coworkers had brought her food.
“Thank you!”
“It’s nothing. Dig in while it’s hot.”
“All right!”
Arissa smiled and nodded. Sensing the concerns radiating off the others, she tamped down the negative emotions in her and gobbled up the desserts.
Men are nothing. I still have work, coworkers, and friends with me. I still have someone else to worry about me, was what Arissa consoled herself with, and those words lifted her spirits slightly.
Benjamin never said anything outright anyway. Those heart-throbbing feelings were just a hallucination. I’ll make sure not to feel that way from now on.
Once Arissa polished off her food, she returned to work.
Her coworkers continued to observe her. When they saw her return to her usual hardworking way, they were baffled.
“Were we wrong? Is Ms. York not with Mr. Graham?”
“It’ll be good if they’re not together. She won’t be sad at the very least.”
“Ms. York seems fine. I don’t think they’re actually in a relationship yet.”
When Arissa opened the door and stepped out of her office, she saw them whispering to each other. Promptly, she arched a brow and asked, “What are you people doing?”
The few of them smiled sheepishly. “Ms. York, we’re only worried about you.”
Arissa was touched by their concerns. She chucked and said, “I’m fine. You should get back to your work. Sorry for making you worried. Go now. You’ll be chided if you don’t complete your work.”
The others turned to look at her to make sure that she really seemed fine before going back to their work.
Arissa smiled and went back to her office to continue working.
She lost track of time. If not for her coworker reminding her that it was time to finish work and pick up her children, Arissa would have still been busying away with her work.
She hastily packed up and reminded the others to go home earlier before rushing to school to pick up her children.
The other children had already been picked up by their parents. Only Gavin, Tim, Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Jesse were still sitting on the stairs at school, waiting for their mother.
That was the sight that greeted Arissa when she arrived. Her heart ached, and she ran toward them.
“My sweethearts, I’m sorry that I’m late.”
As she said that, she told herself to set an alarm so that she would never lose track of the time again.
“Mommy!”
The children dashed over to her excitedly.
They did not mind that she was late at all.
