Danna Contacted Her
“Hehe. I’m fine, Gavin!” Jasper’s lips twitched when Jesse gaped at their eldest brother dreamily.
After their discussion, they finally decided that Gavin should return.
It was not that Zachary was unwilling to be with his mother and test waters with Benjamin. He just did
not want to give Benjamin the satisfaction to meet him that soon. “The more Benjamin wishes to meet
me, the more I won’t go!” He sniggered at his impish thought.
Then, they headed toward the classroom after their meal.
Meanwhile, Arissa was already busy as soon as she reached the company.
Her phone rang when she was about to get off work. Nevertheless, she hung up the moment she saw
an unknown number.
To her surprise, it rang again.
She could only answer it. “Hello?”
“Arissa York!” An unfamiliar voice spoke with arrogance.
Startled for a while, Arissa then instinctively knew it was Danna.
“Are you Danna?” Her doubts slowly vanished.
On the other end, Danna was shocked as she was not expecting Arissa to recognize her so quickly.
Nevertheless, she did not mind it anymore as she was looking for Arissa, anyway.
“Let’s have lunch together. My treat!” Danna spoke frigidly.
Arissa chuckled. “Ms. Adams, I didn’t realize we’re that close to having meals together.”
She scoffed silently. I’m not gonna do whatever you say! Besides, I have nothing to say to you. Plus, I
have a rough guess of what you’re up to.
“Don’t you want to know what happened before?” Danna asked.
Arissa clenched her fists. “What are you up to?”
Upon hearing Danna’s question, she was sure the woman had recognized her.
“Come to Sim Restaurant to find out. I’ll be waiting here!” Danna hung up and waited in silence. She
was confident that Arissa would show up.
“Might as well meet up since she has already recognized me. Let’s see what she has up her sleeve.”
Arissa packed her things while gritting her teeth and left.
“Ms. York!” Ethen bumped into Arissa, who was entering the elevator.
After realizing it was him, she pressed the button to prevent the door from closing.
“Yes, Mr. Frank?”
“Oh, Mr. Graham wants you to see him!”
“Now?” Frowning, Arissa complained silently.
“I’m a bit busy now. Can I go later?”
Sensing that she was about to go somewhere, he quickly asked, “Are you going on a date?”
Arissa was stunned. “I guess so! It’s at Sim Restaurant.”
Ethen could not help pondering to himself. She must be seeing someone? Otherwise, why would she
be in such a hurry?
“But Mr. Graham wants you to see him now!” Ethen said apologetically and silently decided. I guess I’d
better help the poor Mr. Graham before she gets taken by someone else.
After a moment of hesitation, Arissa finally pressed the top floor button to see Benjamin.
Well, I guess I’ll have to make Danna wait. Arissa could not let Danna control her. She had been tricked
five years ago, and she would never let her have the opportunity to do so again.
However, Arissa was a little puzzled at the sudden demand. I thought we had a rather unpleasant
encounter this morning. But, it’s already lunchtime. Does Benjamin want to discuss work? Aren’t we
supposed to discuss it during office hours instead?
Shortly afterward, she came to his office and knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Benjamin did not look up as if he was expecting someone.
Arissa skimmed at the man’s face a few times and stopped in front of his desk. “Yes, Mr. Graham?”
Benjamin looked up, peered at her, and then leaned back.
Her heart thumped at his piercing glance.
“Mr. Graham?” she asked quietly.
He glanced at the bag in her hand. “Heading out?”
“Yes, something came up.” Arissa was puzzled by the man’s intentions.
“What is it?”
