Bonus Deducted For Tardiness
Benjamin’s eyes narrowed, and his gaze became piercing. “What did you just say to me?”
Arissa froze. I only said, “Sorry to trouble you.” What’s wrong with that?
His expression turned grim, and anger surged within him when he saw her distancing herself from him.
He growled in a low voice, “The children’s affairs concern me too, so why did you say that?”
“I misspoke!” Taking back her phone, she lowered her head and scrolled through the nasty remarks,
feeling upset. She even posted a few replies refuting the angry comments.
Benjamin’s eyes flashed. He wanted to say something to her, but he noticed her angling her body away
from him. Hence, he took out his phone and began tapping away on it.
Before Arissa even had time to post the surveillance footage, she noticed that the tides had turned. It
was only after refreshing the page that she realized someone had leaked the footage of the other
children mocking her kids.
However, that was not the only video. Even the clip of the parents at the school bullying Arissa’s
children had also been revealed. Except for the blurred-out faces of her children, those of the parents
and their children were clear for all to see.
Hence, the actual perpetrator and victim of the situation were evident at a glance. Those who got all
riled up immediately turned on the parents and their children, lambasting them even more harshly than
how they had berated the principal and Arissa’s kids.
She turned back toward Benjamin and met his dark gaze. The corners of her mouth twitched, but in the
end, she did not say anything.
These are all things he should do. I don’t need to thank him.
Hence, she looked away and continued monitoring the situation online.
His handsome face turned as black as thunder at her cold attitude toward him, and the tension in the
air became even more palpable.
Suddenly, Arissa said to Ethen, “Mr. Frank, please stop the car there. I want to get out.”
Ethen’s gaze flitted to the rearview mirror. Noticing Benjamin’s darkening expression, he swallowed
hard.
“We’re almost at the office. Why don’t you get down there?”
“That’s all right. I feel like walking.”
The oppressive atmosphere inside the car is a little too much for me to bear.
“Stop the car for her,” Benjamin thundered.
Left with no choice, Ethen could only pull over at the side of the road.
Arissa grabbed her bag, opened the car door, and climbed out of the car.
As soon as she closed the door, Benjamin told Ethen to drive off.
She started walking toward the office after watching them drive away and happened to bump into a
colleague from the same department on her way. “Ms. York, didn’t you drive?”
“No, I didn’t,” she replied, smiling awkwardly.
At that, her colleague offered warmly, “Hop on, then. Otherwise, you’ll be late.”
Arissa accepted the offer and quickly climbed into the colleague’s car.
Meanwhile, Ethen glanced at his boss through the rearview mirror, about to say something on Arissa’s
behalf. However, the words stuck in his throat when his eyes met Benjamin’s gaze.
Upon arriving at the office building, Benjamin got out of the car and strode in with a frosty expression.
“Good morning, Mr. Graham!”
As some of the employees watched Benjamin enter the building, they felt a chill run down their spines.
Mr. Graham isn’t in a good mood.
When their gazes shifted to Ethen, he shot them all a warning look. Then, he turned back to glance at
the road one would have to take to get to the office.
He had just instructed a bodyguard to go and pick Arissa up when he saw her get out of a car and walk
toward the office.
Feeling relieved, Ethen hurried into the building.
Once upstairs, he saw Benjamin standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window. He could see that
Benjamin’s frustration was evident even just by looking at his back.
A bone-chilling aura shrouded him, deterring others from approaching.
Turning his head, Benjamin instructed frostily, “Arissa will also have her bonus deducted for tardiness.”
Ethen adjusted his glasses and said cautiously, “Mr. Graham, Ms. York has already arrived at the
office.”
She arrived right after us and was only a minute late. That’s definitely not tardiness.
Benjamin’s brows drew together when he heard that. She’s already at the office?
He tugged at his tie irritably, then asked, “How did she get here?”
I don’t believe she can walk that fast. After all, it’s approximately five or six hundred meters from where
she got out to the office.
“She caught a ride with one of her colleagues,” Ethen replied softly.
Instantly, a chill descended over the office as the tension in the air intensified.
