Arissa averted her gaze and focused on having her meal. A short whileter, she could not help looking
at him again. Benjamin nced at her, stunning her. Why does he always catch me staring at him?
“Aren’t you busy at the office?” she asked. “I am busy. I’m returning to the office after lunch,” he replied.
Arissa shot a nce at him. Did he deliberatelye home to keep mepany for lunch?
“Oh,” she responded in a diminished voice. He looked at her. “You don’t want me to go?”
“That’s not what I’m thinking!” Benjamin arched his brow and said teasingly, “Then why did you give
such a halfhearted response?”
The corner of Arissa’s mouth twitched. I was merely answering him. I did not mean anything by that.
His eyes lingered on her for a few more seconds, and he fell silent afterward.
After finishing their meal, Benjamin monitored Arissa as she took her medicine. She bore her eyes into
him. “Hurry up and go to work. I can’t drink this while I’m still full. I’ll wait for the medicine to cool down
a little before I drink it.”
He regarded her with a significant look, then shifted his gaze to the potted nt beside them. “If you
were drinking the medicine properly, the nts in the house would not have withered.”
She nced at the potted nt and cleared her throat. “What do I have to do with your withering
nts?”
Benjamin scoffed at her reluctance to admit her doings. “Do you need me to show you the surveince
footage?”
“Go ahead!”Arissa leaned back in her chair,pletely unfazed. He fixed his piercing gaze on her and
narrowed his eyes. “Do you think I’ll have no way to deal with you after you tampered with the
surveince footage?”
Arissa pursed her lips in silence. Benjamin snorted. “Is that it? You don’t have anything else to say?”
She swept her eyes across him. “What should I say?”
Noticing the wound on the corner of her mouth had been aggravated, he got up to bring the first-aid kit
over. “Hurry up and go to work. I’ll drink the medicine on my ownter!”
“Sit a little closer. Let me apply medication to your wounded lips.” He gestured to her. Arissa nced at
him and moved her chair to his side. He lifted her chin and disinfected her wound before applying the
medication.
“This injury to the corner of your mouth hassted a few days.” Benjamin examined her injury and
frowned. His heart ached at that sight.
Arissa felt contented. “This is all your fault. The wound was close to recovery, but you…”
He gazed at her and curled his lips. “I am indeed to me.” In response, she red at him. After gently
helping her apply the medication, he reminded her, “Remember, don’t lick the wound.”“ Okay.” She
nodded.
“Drink the medicine.” The corners of Arissa’s mouth twitched. She touched the bowl and felt that it was
still hot. “I can’t drink this yet.”
Benjamin went to wash his hands. After he exited the washroom, he stirred the bowl of medicine and
blew on it to cool the soup. Arissa was touched by his thoughtfulness. “Let me feed you.”
He delivered the spoon to her mouth, but she turned away. Benjamin knitted his brows. He stared at
her and said, “Why are you dodging?”
“I need to drink it all in one gulp so I won’t be disgusted by the taste.” Arissa nced at the bowl of
ck medicinal soup and recalled the things Edwin mentioned.
“Benjamin, can you ask the doctor to change this medicine to the previous version? This current
version with a mixed sweet and bitter taste is even more revolting.”
He eyed her for some time before nodding. “Sure, but didn’t the previous medicine taste more bitter?”
“It was bitter. However, this current medicine with a mixed vor is worse. I cannot stand this at all.”
Arissa’s scalp tingled even as she caught a whiff of the medicine’s smell.
Benjamin blew on the soup for some time and handed the bowl to her when the medicine was no
longer scalding. Then, she gulped it all down in one go.
Just as she began feeling nauseous, he ced a few pieces of sweets into her mouth, reducing her
difort and making her feel significantly better.
“Do you feel better now?” He raised his hand to wipe off the residue at the corner of her mouth.
“Yes.”
Arissa leaned away and wiped her mouth on her own. “You should hurry up and go to work.”
“All right.”
Benjamin rose to his feet and patted her head. “Rest well at home and don’t go to the hospital today.
Apany me to attend a banquet tonight. Someone will send over the gownter in the afternoon.”
“What banquet?” Arissa asked. However, Benjamin had already strode ahead without answering her.
