The Smirk Of Benjamin
“Shh! Keep quiet when you’re eating,” he snapped at her and continued to eat.
These taste really good actually, as long as I don’t think about those pictures and the description.
He wanted to vomit when he went to the washroom earlier, but nothing came out. None of it affected
him except for the pictures of natto covered in gooey white specks that looked very much like thick
cobwebs.
Ew! That’s gross!
Hmph. She’s definitely looking forward to seeing how scared I would look. I’m not someone who gets
frightened easily, okay? I’ve eaten other insects before when I was in field operation.
The moment he saw how happy she looked while eating the natto, his anger eased.
Arissa was shocked to see that he seemed to have fallen in love with the dish instead of being affected
by the pictures. “Don’t you think they’re disgusting?”
Benjamin shot her a glare.
That startled her, and she stopped talking immediately.
Just like that, he finished the fried natto in front of her. All that was left was the soup and vegetables
which he had eaten a little earlier.
He put the utensils down and elegantly wiped his mouth with a tissue.
When he got up, he patted her head and said, “Make sure you clean up.”
Arissa was astounded and looked at him with her mouth wide open as he walked toward his table and
continued working.
What? He really wasn’t disgusted by it?
Her mouth twitched when he continued to work without going to the bathroom after some time.
She turned to the dining table and continued to eat the unfinished dishes. She was still pretty hungry.
Benjamin glanced at her and smirked.
Hmph! This is nothing!
When Ethen came in to report something to Benjamin and noticed how the latter was smiling, he had
goosebumps straight away. Oh no. Who’s going to get in trouble this time?
When he noticed Benjamin’s gaze on Arissa, he felt sorry for her.
Ms. York, you’re really bold. I can’t believe you’d fed Mr. Graham natto.
He felt sorry for Benjamin too, but when he turned back to Benjamin and their eyes met, he shivered
again.
“Mr. Graham, have you taken your lunch? I can ask the kitchen to make something and send it up,” he
said.
“I’m full,” Benjamin replied.
Ethen looked at him with a strange expression. H-H-He’s full?
“What did you eat?” Ethen asked cautiously.
Benjamin glared at him but didn’t answer him. “Spit it out,” Benjamin said in a warning tone.
Oh my God. Mr. Graham really ate those?
“Mr. Graham, Broad Life Group would be here around one-thirty,” Ethen said.
“Okay. Make arrangements and get the meeting room ready,” Benjamin instructed.
“Okay. Here are also some documents that require your signature, Mr. Graham.” Ethen placed a few
documents and opened them in front of Benjamin.
Benjamin merely looked at the document for a bit and signed without going through everything.
Ethen was shocked to see that Benjamin didn’t go through the documents.
Isn’t he afraid that I might be up to no good? Aw! He trusts me! I feel loved!
Since Ethen had known Benjamin for a long time and had worked for the latter, he could feel that
Benjamin was in a very good mood.
He continued to observe Benjamin’s expression as he helped to put the signed documents aside.
Could it be that he’s in a good mood because his tummy is full? Or is it because of Ms. York?
“Mr. Frank!” Arissa called out to him suddenly.
“Yes, Ms. York?” Ethen turned toward her and replied.
“Have you taken your lunch? Would you like to have some if you haven’t had anything? We still have a
lot of food left,” she said with beaming eyes.
Ethen forced a smile despite the awkwardness. He could feel someone glaring at him from behind.
“It’s all right, Ms. York. I’ll eat at the cafeteria later,” he replied.
“Okay. I’ll finish it then,” she replied with a grin and continued eating.
She’s doing it on purpose, isn’t she? Didn’t she see how disgusted I was just by looking at it earlier?
When he met Benjamin’s icy gaze, a chill ran down his spine, and he subconsciously stood up straight.
