Chapter 88 Pinned Against A Wall

Everyone started to get worried.

How could we let ourselves get carried away because of Kingsley? The mother of Mr. Graham’s children is Danna.

However, the three of them really looked like a happy family.

The IT department had been extremely busy the entire morning and went straight to lunch after that.

They were too busy to pay attention to any gossip floating around on Twitter.

Would Mr. Graham k*ll us if we say that Gavin looks similar to Ms. York?

Someone quickly changed his tune. “They don’t look alike to me. Gavin looks exactly like Mr. Graham!”

“Yeah! It’s like looking at twins!”

“Both of them are very handsome!”

Kingsley was speechless.

Arissa was amused at the way they tried to save themselves. “It’s not that weird if we look a little similar.”

Benjamin turned his gaze toward her. “How are you similar to my son?”

Arissa chewed on her lip. “Our eyes, noses and lips are similar!”

He studied her facial features intently.

Arissa felt like she was being flirted with, and her heart started beating wildly. Quickly, she averted her eyes and dug into her food.

Benjamin’s eyes then landed on Gavin. Their side profiles are pretty similar.

“I think we look alike too!” Gavin beamed up at Arissa.

She smiled sweetly back at him. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.

Of course we look alike. I’m your mother, after all.

For some reason, Benjamin felt irked seeing the smile on her face.

“Stop talking and eat your food,” he reprimanded Gavin in a low voice.

The little boy immediately complied, but an unhappy frown appeared across Arissa’s face.

Benjamin was always so strict with Gavin. However, she was in no position to voice her disapproval. He was still unaware of her true identity, so she could not criticize his parenting methods.

The atmosphere had become awkward again, and everyone was eating in silence.

Feeling rather full, Arissa set her cutlery down. “Please excuse me. I’m going to the restroom.”

As she was leaving, Gavin turned to her and shouted, “Come back quickly, Ms. York!”

“Okay!”

Arissa nodded in response and left.

In the next second, Benjamin rose from his seat.

“Carry on, everyone.”

He then walked toward the restroom.

Gavin’s eyes lit up.

The corners of Kingsley’s lips lifted as he watched Benjamin follow after Arissa. Damn, he can’t wait.

Everyone in the IT department was probably thinking the same thing. However, they did not dare to gossip about Benjamin.

Trying to incite some gossip, Kingsley grinned mischievously at them. “Do you guys think that there’s something up with them?”

They shook their heads immediately. “No!”

He chuckled. “Relax. I won’t tell on you guys. Please feel free to speak your mind!”

They were utterly speechless.

Gavin was still in the room. Hence, everyone felt that it was inappropriate to gossip in front of a child.

After using the restroom, Arissa bumped into someone.

“I’m sorry!”

She lifted her head and a familiar face came into her view, causing her body to stiffen.

“Mr. Graham!”

Benjamin peered down at her as he spoke in a low voice. “You seem to have taken a liking to my son.”

His hand rested on her waist as he stared unblinkingly at her.

Her scent had intensified. It was almost intoxicating.

Arissa blushed as they were in a rather intimate position. She pushed him off and quickly created some distance between them.

“He’s so cute. How can I not like him?”

Benjamin narrowed his eyes and stepped toward her.

Arissa swallowed, backing away. Soon, her back came into contact with the cold wall.

Benjamin placed a hand on the wall next to her cheek and looked down at her condescendingly.

He could see the fine hairs on her face from this angle. If he looked down further, he could even see…
