You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 29

Benjamin stood beside the window on the top floor of Graham Group and looked out from it. His gaze focused on the woman sitting on the bench at the roadside, and he was slightly confused. Why is she still here? And why is she sitting there? Benjamin frowned as he realized his attention was all focused on a woman he had just met. Ethen entered through the door and saw Benjamin standing there with his hands shoved into his pocket. It looked like he was enjoying the scenery.

He seemed domineering even from his back, and Ethen’s respect toward him grew even more. Ethen greeted, “Mr. Graham!” Benjamin turned his head to him and asked in a low tone, “Did Arissa request for anything?” “No, she didn’t. Ms. York said she was satisfied with the working environment, and everyone was excited for her to join the team.” Ethen could not hold his joy when he reported to Benjamin. Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Everyone liked her? Benjamin let out a light snort and continued, “Don’t judge a book by its cover. Wait until she proves herself worthy.”

When he turned to the window again, Arissa had disappeared from his sight. His eyebrows furrowed deeper. “Yes, Sir!” Ethen stared at Benjamin for a moment. He felt that Benjamin did not know Arissa well and may have misunderstood her. Thus, he felt the need to explain to him. “Mr. Graham, I may not have known Ms. York for a very long time, but I feel she’s not a scheming woman.” She is a graceful and open-minded person.

It must be someone else who hacked Mr. Graham’s computer last night. “Mr. Graham, what do you think?” Ethen asked carefully. “Ethen, I think you have preconceived ideas about her already. Some people hide their intentions very well because they plotted the plan in detail.” Benjamin shot a burning gaze at Ethen. “Yes!” Ethen blurted, taken aback. He lowered his head and dared not talk back. Mr. Graham already had the idea that Arissa came here for a reason. I might worsen her impression in his heart if I explained too much.

“Oh, yes. Before Ms. York left, she asked me a question about you.” Benjamin raised his brow and stared at him. He asked in an icy tone, “What did she ask?” Ethen replied softly, “She asked whether

you have a son.” A sharp look fleeted across Benjamin’s eyes. He was confused why Arissa would inquire about his son. He continued, “What else did she ask?” “Nothing else. I told Ms. York you have a son, and then she left the scene. She looked shocked,” Ethen carefully answered as he observed the expression on Benjamin’s face. He could not tell how Benjamin felt, but he was eager to know about his thoughts on the matter.

“Mr. Graham, could it be possible that Ms. York has a crush on you?” Benjamin shot him a sharp glare. At that moment, a series of footsteps sounded outside the door. Danna entered the room and shouted, “Benjamin!” Benjamin’s face darkened. His cold glare swept over Ethen. Ethen was speechless. Why is Mr. Graham glaring at me?

It wasn’t me who let her in. “Benjamin!” Danna greeted Ethen with a smile when she realized he was in the room as well. “Hello, Ethen. I’m not interrupting something, right?” Smiling politely, Ethen replied, “No. We’re done.” He nodded at Benjamin and turned to leave. Luckily Ms. York is gone. What a fuss it would be if they met each other. “Benjamin, I brought you some desserts.” Benjamin stared at her intently and icily. “What do you want?”

Danna was stunned. Recently, she felt that Benjamin was more distant from her, which made her heart ache. “Benjamin, I’m sorry. It’s my fault, and I won’t do it again. Please forgive me.” She walked forward and tugged on Benjamin’s shirt. Benjamin moved away and had a mildly irritated look on his face. He growled, “You should not apologize to me. You should apologize to my son.” Danna started to panic as she saw Benjamin in rage.

She stammered as she explained herself. “I-I went there once, but the butler won’t let me in. I didn’t get to meet Gavin!” Benjamin’s stern look froze on his face. He uttered with a fierce tone, “Don’t hurt him even if you can’t bring yourself to love him. From now on, leave him alone. Please leave if you have no other business with me. I’m busy with my work.”
