Chapter 336 A Handsome Man Asked Me Out When it was time for dinner, Arissa snuck a glance at Benjamin and saw him on the phone with his back facing her.
She could faintly hear him speaking in a foreign language.
Seizing the opportunity, she packed her things and snuck out of the office.
When she hurried into the elevator and turned around, she was stunned to see Benjamin enter.
He gave her a look as if to warn her.
Nevertheless, he continued talking on the phone with a stern expression.
After the elevator doors closed, Arissa glimpsed at him awkwardly before pressing the button for the first floor.
When they arrived, Benjamin was still on the phone.
After taking another glance at him, she walked out of the elevator.
When she noticed that he was following her, she turned around and remarked, âIâm going out for dinner.â
Giving her the side-eye, he continued to follow her.
Subsequently, Arissa glared at him when he entered the car her son had sent to pick her up.
Raising his brow, Benjamin reciprocated with a piercing gaze of his own.
With her lips pursed, Arissa asked softly, âAre you joining me for dinner?â
After ending the call, Benjamin gave her a look of displeasure.
âAre you leaving me to fend for myself by sneaking out?â
Arissaâs lips twitched at the accusation.
âWell, itâs just that when I saw how busy you were, I didnât want to disturb you.â
âThen why donât I feel welcomed when I followed you down?â Benjamin scoffed as he leaned closer to her.
Arissa blinked before her eyes darted around shiftily.
After that, she answered with an awkward smile, âYou must have felt wrong, Mr. Graham.â
Benjamin let out a cold snort.
She really is a feisty one. Despite trying to sneak out, she is adamant about finding excuses.
âWhere are you going for dinner?â He stared at her.
Racking her brains, she teased, âI got asked out by a handsome guy!â
Benjamin furrowed his brows. âWho?â
Arissa was amused by his response.
âI doubt youâd know him even if I told you.â
At that moment, tension filled the air.
Arissa felt goosebumps appear all over her body when she was enveloped by the pressure he emitted.
Consequently, she rubbed both her arms.
Benjamin looked at her from the corner of his eye.
âAre you cold?â
Arissa gave him a look but didnât respond.
Benjamin then ordered the driver, âTurn up the heater.â
âYes, Mr. Graham,â the driver grunted in acknowledgment and did as he was instructed.
âMr. Graham, is this temperature all right?â
Benjamin asked Arissa, âAre you still cold?â
Arissa returned his gaze. âIâm fine now.â
Benjamin grunted in response.
Nonetheless, Arissa continued to look ahead and ignored the suffocating aura that Benjamin was releasing.
When Gavin called again, she hastily answered the phone.
âMommy, are you in the car yet?â
Arissa replied softly, âI am. I just left the office.â
âDid Daddy notice you?â Gavinâs wary voice rang out which was clearly heard by Benjamin.
Is Gavin the handsome man she mentioned just now?
He snorted, âGavin, what are you trying to do? Why do you need to hide the fact that youâre having dinner from me?â
Benjamin felt exasperated at how ungrateful his son was.
Upon hearing Benjaminâs voice, Gavin fell silent.
A short while later, he added, âMommy, come over quickly. Weâre waiting for you to start dinner!â
âAll right.â Arissa replied.
Iâm already in the car. Itâs not like I can travel any faster.
âMommy, Grandpa has ordered a lot of delicious food for us.â
âMmm-hmm.â
Arissa continued, âSweetheart, where did all of you go today?â
âWe went to the playground. Zachary and the others had a lot of fun!â
Upon hearing Gavinâs reply, Arissa cracked a vibrant smile.
âIs that so? How about you then, did you enjoy yourself?â
Her mind was filled with images of the children having fun.

âSweetheart, I will take all of you there the next time.â
âThatâs wonderful!â Gavin was filled with anticipation.
He then said, âWeâll see you in a while, Mommy.â
