Chapter 74 Kingsley Is Warned

Arissa arrived at the top floor and immediately sensed a deterrent force.

She straightened her outfit and steadied herself before walking over.

The nearer she came to Benjamin’s office, the more jittery she felt.

She clenched her fists and prepared herself mentally. There’s nothing to be nervous about. I’m just reporting to him about work.

If he tried to be hypercritical, she could just walk away.

Taking in a deep breath, she marched to the doorway and rapped on the door several times.

Knock! Knock!

“Enter!”

An intimidating baritone voice traveled from the room.

Arissa walked into the office, catching the attention of the two men inside.

Kingsley’s eyes gleamed at the sudden sight of Arissa. A wolf-whistle escaped his lips involuntarily.

“A siren!”

Since when did such an enchantress join Boss’ company?

Kingsley was all smiles as he eyed Arissa.

It was only then that Arissa discovered the presence of another person in Benjamin’s office.

“My apologies, Mr. Graham. I wasn’t aware there was a guest around. I’ll take my leave first…”

Benjamin shot a glance at Kingsley and called for her to stop. “Come in.”

Arissa nodded.

“Hi, beautiful! Why haven’t I seen you around before?”

Kingsley sprawled over the back of the couch and attempted to strike a conversation with her.

Arissa nodded awkwardly. “It’s my first day at work today.”

“No horsing around here, Kingsley!” Benjamin issued a stern warning.

Kingsley alternated his gaze between Benjamin and Arissa before snickering.

Did he try to chase me away earlier because he was waiting for this goddess? I smell a rat!

“Fine. I’ll shut my trap!”

Kingsley grinned at Benjamin while sizing Arissa up.

A stunner who is both capable and experienced. Wait… Why does her side profile look kind of familiar? I’m certain I have never seen her before. There’s no way I would have forgotten the face of such a looker.

Kingsley stroked his chin.

Meanwhile, Arissa turned toward Benjamin. When their gazes met, she instinctively diverted her eyes.

Benjamin’s gaze was like a pitch-black whirlpool that consumed anyone in its path.

She stepped up to his office desk. “Mr. Graham.”

“Speak.”

Benjamin leaned back against his chair and folded his arms across his chest. His deep and serene gaze fell upon her.

Arissa met his line of sight and tightened her grip on the documents in her hand. She collected herself and began to report on her work in all seriousness.

“The IT department is operating smoothly on the whole. The business department is also adept in their work. However, the system is still a little green behind the ears. For instance, telemetry remains a work in progress…”

Benjamin’s gaze shone briefly as he looked at the woman who droned on in a measured tone before him. He was secretly impressed by her. Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

I’ll have to say that she is a capable worker. She has mastered the entire company’s situation and obtained a sound knowledge of its core technology in just a few hours. She even discovered some issues that I have overlooked. She is able to clearly elucidate her points without any prompting on my end.

From his seat, Kingsley keenly watched Arissa report on her work.

Looks impressive. This one’s a talent!

Arissa watched the silent Benjamin who had a look of restraint in his eyes. She wondered how much of her reporting did he take in.

“Mr. Graham, I’ve concluded my reporting,” she prompted.

Benjamin heard her feathery voice and raised his eyes in her direction. He asked in a low tone, “You looked into the Graham Group before you came on board?”

Arissa froze for a moment before replying in all honesty, “I did look into it, but I only obtained information that the Graham Group released to the public eye. I only learned about the technical issues it faced internally this morning.”

Benjamin raised his brows and looked upon her exquisite features.

She began to feel a little flustered by his gaze and silence.

“Is this up to your satisfaction, Mr. Graham?”

At least give me a response, right?

Benjamin stared at her unflinchingly and moved his thin lips. “How much time do you need to resolve these issues?”

Arissa froze. Does this mean I made it?
