Chapter 24
Chapter 24 Rted To Zachary
Benjamin was surprised, and his gaze fixed on the woman seated in front of him. She was not servile
nor relenting. Instead, there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes.
“I’ll gauge your capabilities from your contributions to thepany!”
Benjamin was a man who judged people based on their capabilities. Those who were not capable
would not even survive thepany’s probation period as Graham Group was no ce for useless
people.
Arissa was shocked, shooting an uncertain nce at the man. Does this mean that he’s hiring
me? ”You mean…”
He stared straight at her and said, “I have something to ask.”
“Please go on.” Arissa gestured for him to continue.
Benjamin watched her and asked, “Why did you speak to me like thatst night? Aren’t you afraid that
I’ll get you back for that?”
Arissa froze and watched him in puzzlement. “What did I sayst night? I don’t know you! No, I do
know you. However, I haven’t met you before. Moreover, I don’t have your contact details. When would
I have the opportunity to say something to you? I think you may have gotten the wrong person as this is
our first time meeting.”
Arissa was dumbfounded, and her intuition told her that Benjamin mistook her for someone.
Could this be the reason why he’s so hostile toward me? No, this will be our second time meeting if
he’s the guy that time.
However, she ran away before seeing that man clearly, so it did not count as a meeting.
Benjamin’s piercing gaze darkened as he continued to stare at Arissa. Undoubtedly, the text was from
her. Even if it wasn’t, it’s got to be from someone close to her.
The tip of Benjamin’s tongue topped the inside of his cheek, adding a seductive ir to his handsome
face.
Arissa watched him. Her heart thudded in her chest, beating fast and hard.
“Mr. Graham?”
His eyes flickered, and he recalled the message the night before.

“You sent me a text message yesterday, introducing yourself and stating you were chased away by my
fiancée. In the message, you told me to consider hiring you if I’ve not found a suitable candidate. You
even said you’re confident that you’repetent enough for the job.”
Arissa was shocked as she was sure she did no such thing.
However, she suddenly recalled how sneaky and mysterious the kids were acting yesterday, and it
dawned on her that they must have sent the text message.
“After I rejected you, you even threatened me to not regret my decision.” The corners of Benjamin’s
mouth lifted into a cold smirk.
Arissa gazed into his eyes and gulped. “Can I have a look at the sender’s phone number?”
Benjamin told her the number and scrutinized her expression closely. He narrowed his eyes and
nced at her sharply. “That’s you, right?”
“No, it’s not!”
Arissa was frustrated. I’ll have to lecture Zachary when I get home. How could he not tell me about
this?
“It’s my family!” She nervously looked at him and said apologetically, “Sorry, I didn’t know he texted
you. I’m so incredibly sorry!”
Benjamin stared at her imposingly and asked in a low voice, “How is Zachary rted to you?”
She does not have my contact details, but her family does. This woman should at least draft out her
lies before saying them. Could it actually be her all along?
“My brother!” Arissa blurted.
Silence ensued.
She looked at Benjamin nervously. It’ll be all right if I directly say that he’s my son, right? After all, he
has never met the kids and is a stranger to me as I don’t think we’ve met before. There can only be two
scenarios. Either we’ve never met before, or he isn’t the man from that night.
However, his resemnce to the children was uncanny. It was as if they were made from the same
mold, and Arissa was taken aback when she saw him.
She never thought that the father to her kids would be such a distinguished person.
