Chapter 89 A Pretty Good Liar
Her feminine scent was intoxicating, and something was burning deep in his eyes. His intense pheromones invaded her space, almost making her unable to breathe.
This is too intimate. I can’t believe he pinned me against the wall.
When Arissa made eye contact with him, she could almost see the passionate fire burning within them. Flustered, she pushed him away.
“Mr. Graham, you are behaving inappropriately.”
A vague feeling arose in Benjamin’s heart when he saw her trembling lashes.
He leaned over and brought his nose to her neck, wanting to get a whiff of her sweet scent again.
Narrowing his eyes, Benjamin took a deep breath. “What about my behavior?”
His voice was low and captivating.
Arissa could feel his warm breath on her neck. It was slightly ticklish, sending tingles down her spine.
Her heart raced uncontrollably as her ears flushed. Damn it. He’s so sexy. There’s no way I can resist him.
Arissa forced herself to calm down.
“Mr. Graham, please do not do this. Your fiancée will misunderstand if she sees us like this,” she reprimanded him coldly.
She frowned deeply after mentioning Danna, unable to suppress her anger.
Upon hearing that, Benjamin stiffened. He turned to the side and gave her a hard stare.
He raised his eyebrows when he saw her expression. Although the man had straightened up a little, Arissa was still unable to escape his grasp.
“Do you hate her that much?” he asked nonchalantly.
Arissa scoffed as she fixed her eyes on him.
“Just because you do doesn’t mean that everyone will!”
Benjamin frowned. He felt vaguely annoyed at her cold behavior.
“Just because she chased you away?”
“It’s not just that!”
Arissa laughed coldly, carefully examining Benjamin’s emotions.
Men are incomprehensible, indeed. He didn’t even seem to react.
She continued her attempts to agitate him. “How can someone as devious as her be a celebrity? She’s evil and immoral. That woman’s just acting innocent!”
“How is she devious?” His sharp gaze almost pierced through her.
Arissa looked at him, a little surprised. He seemed as if he was merely curious about what she had to say.
Could it be that he doesn’t actually like Danna?
“Mr. Graham, don’t you think it’s not very appropriate of you to be asking me about your wife’s personality? Are you going to let me off if I speak badly about her?”
A cold smile appeared across Benjamin’s face as he uttered, “You already have.”
Arissa was stunned.
“Okay, then. What do you want?”
She stared up at him and into his eyes. This time, she did not avoid his gaze.
Benjamin held her gaze firmly. “How many children do you have?”
Arissa was caught off guard by his question. “One. Why do you ask?”
She did not know what his intentions were, so she could not reveal the truth to him.
His eyes narrowed, and his hand came up to stroke her hair.
“Arissa York.”
Her heart skipped a beat. The way he had said her name made her inexplicably nervous.
It was as if he knew everything.
“You’re a pretty good liar.”
Benjamin stared at her intently.
Does she really think that she can fool everyone? I’m the only one who knows she has more than one child.
Anger bubbled up inside him.
He still had no evidence to prove that she was Gavin’s mother. However, there were several clues implying that she was related to them in some way.
Arissa’s heart was pounding hard. However, she maintained a smile on her face.
“Can you be more specific, Mr. Graham? I don’t understand. What have I lied about?”
Benjamin snorted coldly and twirled a lock of her hair around his fingers.
He straightened up, put his hands in his pockets, and stared down at her.
“You had better not be lying.”
Arissa’s heart skipped a beat when she heard his threat.
