Chapter 329 You Are My Secretary Today
“You’ll be working here today and you’re not allowed to go anywhere else!” Benjamin ordered.
Folding her arms in frustration, Arissa glared at him for making things difficult on purpose.
“Mr. Graham, how am I going to work without going out? My things are in my office downstairs!”
“I’ll get someone to bring them up.”
Just as he spoke, Benjamin made a call.
Soon, someone brought all of Arissa’s documents up from her office. In fact, they even brought her computer along.
Stumped, Arissa glanced at her “boss” and sighed.
“Mr. Graham, where shall I sit then?”
The moment Benjamin swept his gaze at her, someone moved a desk into his office and placed it near the door.
Arissa’s lips twitched when she saw it. By sitting there, everyone would assume that she was Benjamin’s secretary.
Nonetheless, she didn’t complain. Once the men had set everything up, she tidied her desk and got to work.
When Benjamin snuck a glance and saw how focused she was at work, he grinned to himself.
Sensing his burning gaze, Arissa turned around but was greeted by the sight of him engrossed in work.
Just when she looked away, his instructive voice rang out.
“Go and make me some coffee.”
When she saw him at work and that there were only two of them in the office, she frowned.
Benjamin looked up at her. “Didn’t you hear me?”
Filled with exasperation, Arissa gritted her teeth and reminded him, “Mr. Graham, I’m not your secretary!”
After giving her a thoughtful look, Benjamin answered, “You’ll be my secretary for today.”
Just as she was seething, Ethen and Jack came over.
She called out at once, “Mr. Frank, Mr. Graham wants some coffee.”
“Okay, I’ll go prepare it at once.”
When Ethen went off to do as he was told, Benjamin knitted his brows.
Sensing the tension in the air, Jack quickly turned and hurried after Ethen.
“Arissa, why are you pushing your responsibilities to someone else after I instructed you to do something?”
“Did I?”
Not only did she give him an innocent look, she even broke out into a professional smile.
Despite his darkening gaze, the anger he felt quickly dissipated at the sight of her.
He snorted, “Hurry up and finish your work. Otherwise, you’ll have to stay back here alone to finish it tonight.”
Arissa shot him a glare behind his back.
What a slave driver!
After pouring herself a glass of water, she got down to business.
Meanwhile, Ethen returned with the coffee. After serving Arissa one, he served Benjamin the other.
Looking up, Benjamin instructed, “We’ll have a meeting at ten.”
Briefly shocked, Ethen bowed slightly and acknowledged, “Understood.”
With that, he hurried out to cascade the information.
Considering that it was the weekend, many of the company’s staff were out. Hence, he wasn’t sure if everyone would be able to make it back to the office in time.
Sympathetic to their predicament, he called all of them personally after informing them in the group chat.
Naturally, every single manager began to lament upon learning of the meeting.
Given that Arissa was engrossed in her work, she didn’t realize that Ethen had entered.
When she reached out to grab her drink, she didn’t notice that it was hot coffee.
“Ouch!”
After being scalded from the sip, she was jolted back to her senses.
She spat the coffee out at once and put down the cup.
With a drastic change in expression, Benjamin hurried over.
“Let me see!”
When he lifted her head, Arissa was forced to look up at him.
“Open your mouth to let me check.” Benjamin frowned, for he knew how hot the coffee was just now.
Arissa replied bashfully, “I’m fine!”
When she turned away to pant, she could feel a burning sensation on her tongue.
Ignoring her reply, Benjamin turned her face back and pinched her mouth open. Arissa looked at him in disbelief.
At the sight of her scalded tongue, Benjamin furrowed his brows.
Subsequently, Arissa avoided his hand and turned her back to him.
Sticking her tongue out, she began to fan it.
In the meantime, Benjamin went to get a glass of ice water.
“Here, hold it in your mouth, quick!”
After shooting him a glance, she took the glass and drank.
“I told you to hold it in your mouth, not drink it!” Benjamin knitted his brows.
