Chapter 894 My Legally Wedded Wife

“Old Mr. Graham went with Mr. Graham to send the children to school,” Edwin answered,

crinkling his eyes in a smile. “They sure woke up very early!” Kingsley muttered.

He then proceeded to ask Edwin to prepare more food. “Please make more food, Edwin. I’ll

deliver them to the others at noon.” Edwin chuckled in amusement. “Are you planning to

have lunch here as well, Mr. Watts?”

Kingsley nodded in response. “It’s because you have such great cooking skills.” Elated,

Edwin chortled.

The other person who was also very impressed with his cooking was Arissa. She did not

stop eating inside the car. After finishing her breakfast, she opened the thermal container

and started to drink the mushroom soup.

Through the rearview mirror, the driver sneaked glances at her from time to time, and he

even gulped at the sight of the soup. The mushroom soup Edwin made for Mrs. Graham

smells tantalizing.

When he saw Arissa drinking the soup, he slowed down the speed of the car and drove

steadily to the company. Usually, the journey to the company would not take more than

half an hour. However, that particular trip took nearly an hour.

When they arrived, Arissa realized something was amiss. “Huh? Why is it already past

eleven?”

That discovery prompted her to pack everything quickly and run into the building. “Good

morning, Ms. York!”

“Good morning!” Arissa greeted back before rushing into her office. As soon as she

showed up at the building, Benjamin received the news of her arrival from the bodyguard

in the lobby.

Arissa entered her office quickly upon seeing that her colleagues were all busy working.

She did not even have the time to sit down as the phone on her desk rang just in time.

In a hurry, she picked up the receiver and held it to her ear. The woman did not even have

time to put down the things in her other hand as she said, “Hello?”

“Come upstairs,” Benjamin uttered in a deep voice. It was an order. “I’ve just arrived.”

Arissa felt a bit frustrated. “You were absent during the meeting in the morning. Come

here!”

With that, he ended the call. Left with no choice, she put down her things and grabbed a

file from the desk before leaving her office. “Ms. York!” “Yeah? What’s the matter?”

“Please take a look at this document when you have the time.” “All right. Please put it on

my table. I need to report to Mr. Graham first,” Arissa instructed and hurried upstairs.

That particular colleague entered her office and left immediately after placing the

document on her desk. Meanwhile, the others who also required her approval for their

documents quickly set theirs in her office as well.

Before long, files piled up on her desk.

Someone from the logistics department showed up with the office stationeries. Upon

spotting something peeking out of Arissa’s bag, she looked around and confirmed no one

was paying any attention to her before she opened it. Inside it was a black card.

Her eyes popped wide open.

No wonder the new director of the IT department can go to work as she pleases. So it’s

because she’s a kept woman.

When she heard footsteps coming from outside, she quickly put the card down.

“What are you doing here?”

Noticing her, an employee from the IT department came over to check things out.

“I’m here to change the stationeries. I’m leaving now,” the employee from the logistics

department replied.

Then, she quickly left the room.

The employee from the IT department looked around the office. When she did not find

anything suspicious, she returned to her desk.

Meanwhile, Arissa arrived upstairs and knocked on the door.

Benjamin lifted his head. His eyes gleamed at the sight of her.

“You’re here.”

“You rang me up the second I arrived in the office. Have you been keeping an eye on me

from the moment I came out of the house?” she remarked with a smile.

His thin lips curved upward slightly. Then, he motioned to her, saying, “Come here.”

Arissa did not oblige. Instead, she sat in the chair in front of his desk.

“Why did you ask me to come up here?”

She suspected that he had personal motives.

Benjamin gazed at her intently. Noticing that she did not come to him, he stood up and

approached her.

“What are you holding in your hand?”

Arissa lowered her head. “I took this from my desk. You can’t possibly expect me to come

here with empty hands.”

Raising his eyebrows, he leaned forward and pinned her to her seat. “Arissa!”

“Yes?” She looked at him in puzzlement.

“You’re now my legally wedded wife. If you want to see your husband, you can come here

at any time.”

Arissa blinked as she felt her cheeks heating up. “But the others don’t know about it.”

He stared at her and complained, “Hah! I wanted to announce it, but you disagreed.”
