Chapter 160 Praise From Benjamin
Benjamin got up and approached her. His unsmiling and solemn face could stress anyone out.
Arissa’s eyes flickered before she replied, “It’s personal!”
Benjamin cast a mocking gaze. “Is it a date? Looks like you’re notpetent in your job at all!”
He was secretly irritated as he assumed Arissa might have gone out to meet a man.
Angered by Benjamin’s words, she red at him and uttered, “I can go wherever I want after working
hours!”
How can he call me an ipetent worker just because I go out for lunch? He is out of his mind!
Benjamin examined her face before returning to his seat. His fingers tapped the desk contemtively.
Arissa furrowed her eyebrows peevishly. “Mr. Graham, if you have something to say, just say it.”
She wondered what Benjamin was up to.
“Give me a report on your work progress!” Benjamin ordered her grimly. For some reason, he did not
want to make life easy for Arissa.

Arissa froze for a moment. She noticed the stern expression on Benjamin’s face.
Despite her annoyance, she was obligated to follow his instructions even though it was currently after
hours. She was a well-paid employee, so she had no reason to ignore him.
Arissa put her bag down and quicklyposed herself. Then, she ryed her work progress to
Benjamin in an orderly manner.
Just like that, half an hour had passed before the briefing ended.
“That is all. What are you orders, Mr. Graham?” asked Arissa.
Benjamin looked up at the woman in front of him. He was impressed with her high efficiency and proper
nning.
“Nice work!” Benjamin nodded.
Arissa was surprised to hear that. She did not think Benjamin would praise her. Pleased with her boss’s
approval, she let out a sigh of relief.
“Thank you for thepliment, Mr. Graham. It’s all part of my job, after all,” said Arissa.
Benjamin stared at her. He could feel her glowing with humility and confidence.
When Arissa was about to excuse herself, her stomach picked that moment to let out a loud growl that
sounded throughout the quiet office.
Embarrassed, Arissa met Benjamin’s gaze. Her cheeks had turnedpletely red. Right then, she
wanted so badly to dig a hole and hide from the shame.
Benjamin peered at her rosy cheeks. He was tempted to give them a pinch.
He gulped as his fingers twitched a little. “I’m hungry too. Let’s get some food, shall we?”
With that, he walked toward the lounge area.
Arissa snuck a nce at the man. She felt her heart skipped a beat. I’m going to dine with him again?
“Are youing or not?” Benjamin turned around with a stern gaze when he realized Arissa was not
behind him.
“Erm…” Arissa wanted to say something, but she eventually bit her tongue and went after him.
When she arrived, the food was already served. Arissa turned to look at Benjamin. It can’t be just a
simple meal, can it?
Ignoring her dubious gaze, Benjamin removed the lids and sat down.
“Have a seat.”
Before her very eyes was a delectable feast. Arissa could not possibly reject his kindness.
“Don’t mind if I do!”
With that said, she sat down and helped herself to the food.
This is marvelous! I wonder where I can get the ingredients…
As Arissa relished the meal, Benjamin softened his gaze on her.
Yet, all of a sudden, he chided, “Don’t speak with your mouth full!”
His words stunned Arissa. Her lips twitched. She shot the stern man a look in frustration. Am I here for
lunch or for one of your lectures?
“This is how I eat. If you don’t like it, I can leave,” she retorted.
Benjamin’s gaze darkened in an instant. He red at Arissa. “You know, Gavin…”
“Wait, Gavin ordered these?” Arissa blurted before Benjamin could finish.
A hint of uneasiness shed across Benjamin’s face, but he quickly regained hisposure.
Arissa took note of the shift in his mood. She instantly brightened up.
“Thank you, Mr. Graham! I’ll enjoy the meal!”
