Chapter 685

Chapter 685 I Cannot Help It

Arissa straightened out her clothes and checked if her clothes were disheveled in any way. By the time she lifted

her head again, Ethen had carried a few documents into the office.

The assistant was stunned at the sight of Arissa sitting in his superior’s chair. Ignoring the awkwardness in the air,

she tried to act normal and greeted him, “Mr. Frank!”

Gah, this is so embarrassing. It’s as if I was caught red-handed for doing something wrong. Ethen returned to his

senses and nodded in response.

“Ms. York, you’re here!”

“Yes, I’m here to deliver Benjamin’s breakfast.”

She gestured at the food container on the desk and got up to open it.

“I brought a lot of food. Would you like to have some?”

Noticing that Benjamin had not yet taken a bite of it, Ethen smiled and said, “Ms. York, I’ve already had my

breakfast. Is Mr. Graham not around?”

Didn’t he come into the office just now?

“Oh, he’s in there!”

Arissa pointed at the lounge.



Ethen sneaked a glance at her, secretly observing her.

Her face is bright red. Could they have done something naughty in here?

At that thought, he dared not stay around any longer.

After placing the documents on the desk, he said to Arissa, “Ms. York, could you please tell Mr. Graham to sign

these when he comes out later? I will be back shortly to retrieve them.”

Then, he scurried out of the office.

He knew his days would be numbered if he had ruined it for Benjamin.

Arissa was befuddled when she noticed how fast Ethen had left the office. Why did he run out? Is he afraid that a

tiger will devour him?

She turned to look at the lounge. Well, Mr. Graham is just as close.



Upon recalling how the man almost took her right then and there, Arissa took her straw hat and hurriedly headed

for the door.

I’d better scram before he comes out.

Just when she was about to step out of the door, a warning uttered by a deep voice sounded from behind her. “Just

you try and step out of the door.”

Arissa paused right in her tracks, feeling deflated.

Does he have an eagle’s eye or what?

Then, she turned around and looked at the man who was standing by the lounge’s door.

Arissa pointed out the window and stated, “I have to go to the hospital now.”

“Come over here!”

Benjamin’s brows were deeply knitted as he walked over to his desk.

After taking his seat, he cast his gaze on her. His presence was so overbearing that she had no choice but to

comply.

In the end, Arissa gulped and made her way over to his side.

“Is there anything else that you need from me?”

Benjamin gestured for her to come to his side, but she did not do as instructed. Instead, she took a seat right

opposite him.

“What is it?” she asked as she sneaked a glance at him, avoiding his eyes the whole time.

“Wait for me to finish my breakfast!”

Benjamin suddenly took the food container and started to eat.

He did not utter a word as he ate his breakfast gracefully.

Arissa could not resist the urge to admire his perfect features.

The man before her was such a beauty to behold, especially his thick and long lashes.

They were so perfectly curled that she felt an inevitable sense of jealousy.

Perceiving her gaze on him, Benjamin lifted his head and was met with her fervent stare.

He would have lost his temper if he had caught any other woman staring at him like that.

However, the person was Arissa, so he was delighted.



Benjamin did not say anything and let her continue gawking at him. His jubilant mood had induced a great appetite.

It was not until he finished his food and walked toward her did she snap out of her daze.

He lifted her chin and looked down at her. His regal bearing made her heart race.

Again, she crimsoned.

“Ethen!” Benjamin said aloud.

Arissa hurriedly moved her chin away from his grip and avoided his eyes.

She could feel the butterflies in her stomach and the flutters in her heart.

Ethen came into the office not long after. However, he dared not look around carelessly.

“Mr. Graham!”

“Go and fetch some ointment.”

“Sure,” Ethen answered before running off once again.

Arissa was shocked.

“Why did you ask for ointment?”

The only response she received was Benjamin’s gaze on the corner of her lips.

Arissa then realized that she was still in pain. It completely slipped her mind earlier.

Instinctively, she lifted her hand to touch her wound, but Benjamin stopped her and scolded, “Don’t touch it! You

have a lot of germs on your hand!”

Arissa shot him a sideways glare.

“Don’t touch it if you want it to heal!” he warned.

The woman let out a chuckle from the overwhelming fury.

“I wouldn’t have gotten hurt if you hadn’t bitten me.”

Benjamin’s thin lips quirked into a grin when he noticed the anger in her eyes.

“I couldn’t help it. Your lips were too enticing.”

Arissa’s face turned bright red.
