Chapter 777 Reserve Your Time
Outside Benjamin’s office, it took Arissa quite a while before she mustered up her courage to call out, “Mr. Graham!” “Come in!” Benjamin did not even look up from the document.
Arissa scanned around before walking over. She stood in front of Benjamin’s desk for quite a few minutes, but the latter still did not say anything to her.
Thus, she placed the piles of documents on his desk and started, “Mr. Graham, I’ve completed these. As for the remaining parts, I’ll work overtime tonight to finish them.”
Benjamin finally lifted his head from the document. He looked at her grimly and asked, “Arissa York, are you doing this on purpose?”
Arissa was dumbfounded. Me? Doing this on purpose? Isn’t this the work progress that he asked for? Of course, I have to multiply my efforts to finish the work that has dragged on for a few days. Benjamin snapped, “Do you intend to work overtime so the kids will put the blame on me?”
Arissa pursed her lips. “I’ll bring the documents back and finish my work at home. They won’t know about it.”
Benjamin gritted his teeth at her eloquence. “You don’t have to work overtime. Just do it tomorrow. And if you can’t finish it tomorrow, there’s always the following day. Just reserve your time to accompany the kids!”
The next moment, he cast his head down to look at the document again. Astounded, Arissa asked, “Didn’t you urge me to finish my work earlier?”
Benjamin looked up and scowled at her. “Don’t make me say that again!” Looking into the sternness in his eyes, Arissa nodded in bafflement. “Yes, Mr. Graham.”
Knowing that she did not need to rush her work, she heaved a sigh of relief. “Mr. Graham, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get back to work now.”
Never had Benjamin expected work could be so irritating for him one day. When Arissa mentioned work numerous times, he felt a rush of indecipherable rage surging from within him.
“Take a look at your mistake.” He tossed her document aside. Arissa looked at him before picking up her document and browsing through it.
After flipping through the document of almost twenty pages, she did not spot any so-called mistakes circled by Benjamin. Perplexed, she looked at him again. However, he remained seated with his eyes glued to the document.
She had no choice but to recheck every page. Benjamin flashed her a glance before looking at his document again.
After going through the document twice, Arissa still did not spot any problems. “Mr. Graham, there’s nothing wrong with my document. Would you mind enlightening me?”
Benjamin looked up at her quizzically. “Nothing wrong?”
“Yeah! I’ve gone through it a few times.” Arissa fixed her eyes on him.
Benjamin remained expressionless. “I might have remembered wrongly. Try checking through the other documents again. I’m sure there’s something wrong with one of the documents.”
Seeing that the man was serious, Arissa could only continue to go through the other documents.
Soon, one hour had passed, but she had yet to spot the problem. “Mr. Graham, I’ve checked through all the documents and there really isn’t any problem!”
Sensing that the man was not astounded at all, Arissa knitted her brows. Did he ask me to do this on purpose?
“Just put the documents aside if there aren’t any problems. I’ll go through them when I’m free later.” Benjamin gestured to her.
“Okay! I’ll go back to my office, then!” Arissa put the documents down and turned to step out.
He must’ve done that on purpose.
Right that instant, Benjamin shot the irritated Arissa a glance. “Get yourself ready. We’ll go to fetch the kids from school in a while.”
Arissa was livid. I’ve wasted one hour because of him! I could have finished more work within that hour.
Back in her office, she quickly tidied up her desk and brought her remaining work home, seeing that school would be over soon.
The man’s temper is unpredictable. Who knows, he might change his mind again at any moment.
By the time she went downstairs after tidying her things, Benjamin was already waiting in his car.
She glanced at it and walked in another direction, not expecting Benjamin to be waiting for her.
Unexpectedly, a bodyguard stepped forward hastily and stood in her way. “Mrs. Graham, please get in the car. Mr. Graham has been waiting for you for quite a while now!”
Arissa was stunned. He’s waiting for me?
At that moment, the car window was rolled down, and Benjamin’s voice sounded. “Get in.”
Arissa turned to look at the man in the car, only to find him leaning against the seat with his eyes closed.
After much hesitation, she got in.
