Chapter 902 Darius Meets Her In The Office
“You should be more serious in things like this! It’s a major event in life!” Darius reminded. “All right, I will!” agreed Benjamin.
Seeing that Darius had not left, Benjamin changed the topic. “Dad, don’t interrupt Gavin and the rest in school anymore. They would get distracted. If you want to see them, just wait till school is over, and you can go pick them up.”
A hint of guilt rose to Darius’ chest. “I was just talking to the principal about something and decided to go see them in the meantime!” he defended.
Benjamin sighed softly. “How are they going to learn to be independent if you keep following them around?”
“I know that. It’s just for today! I won’t go there anymore,” Darius promised.
With that being said, Darius changed the topic again. “Which floor is Issa on? I want to go see her!”
Upon hearing the question, Benjamin scowled slightly. “You should go back. Don’t disturb her at work.”
“What’s wrong with me seeing my daughter-in-law? If you refuse to tell me, then I won’t leave!” Darius crossed his arm stubbornly.
Just then, Ethen walked in and was about to report the work progress to Benjamin. At the sight of Darius, he quickly shrunk back.
Catching sight of Ethen, Darius immediately called out to him. “Hold it! Do I look like a tiger that you wanted to run away the moment you saw me?”
“Hehe, good day, Old Mr. Graham!” Ethen greeted Darius respectfully with a grin.
Darius responded with a snort and got to his feet before heading toward the door. “Take me to Issa!”
Ethen peered at Benjamin, awaiting permission from his boss.
Only after seeing Benjamin’s nod did Ethen bring Darius to see Arissa.
“This way, Old Mr. Graham!”
With a nod, Darius tailed Ethen as the latter led the way.
When the members of the IT department saw Darius, they rose to their feet. Just as they were about to greet him, Darius signaled for them to remain silent as he made his way to Arissa’s office and peered through the door.
The curiosity of the crowd was roused.
Why did Old Mr. Graham come to see Ms. York?
Ethen gestured for them to focus on work.
Holding a takeaway box in his hand, Darius knocked on the door.
He waited patiently for Arissa’s response before opening the door and entering.
“Dad!”
Arissa was thrilled to see Darius.
“What are you doing here?”
In the meantime, the rest of the IT department widened their eyes upon hearing how Arissa had addressed Darius.
What did I just hear?
Did Ms. York just call Old Mr. Graham “Dad?”
Is she his daughter?
Or daughter-in-law?
The thought of Arissa and Benjamin being close stunned the crowd even further.
Mr. Graham is married?
Closing the door behind him, Darius brought the takeaway box inside. “Here! I got you something to eat!”
With a smile, Arissa reached out from behind her desk to receive the takeaway box brought by Darius.
“Thank you, Dad! Please, take a seat!”
Placing the takeaway box on her desk, she got up and poured Darius a glass of water.
“Have you eaten, Dad?”
“Yes, I have!”
Darius looked around her office. “Are you comfortable working here, Issa?”
“I am!” Arissa answered with a smile, wondering why Darius had visited her so suddenly.
“Have some water, Dad!”
“Okay!”
A loving smile appeared on Darius’ face as he took a seat.
Issa is so welcoming, unlike Benjamin who only cared about shooing me away.
“Eat up! It won’t be as nice if it gets cold. I got some to takeaway when I brought Gavin and rest for lunch just now!”
Arissa sat down and opened the takeaway box. She was on a phone call with the children a moment ago and found out that Darius had taken them out for lunch. What she did not expect was for Darius to visit and bring her some food too.
The scrumptious food managed to win her over, and Arissa began to take the first bite. “It’s so good. Would you like to have some too, Dad?”
“I’ll pass. I’ve gotten a lot to eat when I was with the children.” Darius waved with a smile.
Arissa smiled in return as she continued to eat.
Darius beamed upon seeing Arissa enjoying the food.
He remained silent even after Arissa had finished her meal. Curious, she turned to look at him. “Why did you come, Dad? Is there something wrong?”
“Nah, I just came to discuss something with Benjamin, and I thought I might as well drop by to see you!” answered Darius.
Arissa tilted her head as she looked at Darius. “Have you gone to see him? He was still at the office when I came down.”
“I did. He was trying to shoo me out, which was why I came down here!” Darius grumbled.
