You More Than Anything In The World

Benjamin was surprised, and his gaze fixed on the woman seated in front of him. She was not servile nor relenting. Instead,
there was a hint of stubbornness in her eyes. “I’ll gauge your capabilities from your contributions to the company!” Benjamin was
a man who judged people based on their capabilities. Those who were not capable would not even survive the company’s
probation period as Graham Group was no place for useless people. Arissa was shocked, shooting an uncertain glance at the
man. Does this mean that he’s hiring me?
”You mean...” He stared straight at her and said, “I have something to ask.” “Please go on.” Arissa gestured for him to continue.
Benjamin watched her and asked, “Why did you speak to me like that last night? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll get you back for that?”
Arissa froze and watched him in puzzlement. “What did I say last night? I don’t know you! No, I do know you. However, I haven’t
met you before.
Moreover, I don’t have your contact details. When would I have the opportunity to say something to you? I think you may have
gotten the wrong person as this is our first time meeting.” Arissa was dumbfounded, and her intuition told her that Benjamin
mistook her for someone. Could this be the reason why he’s so hostile toward me? No, this will be our second time meeting if
he’s the guy that time. However, she ran away before seeing that man clearly, so it did not count as a meeting.
Benjamin’s piercing gaze darkened as he continued to stare at Arissa. Undoubtedly, the text was from her. Even if it wasn’t, it’s
got to be from someone close to her. The tip of Benjamin’s tongue topped the inside of his cheek, adding a seductive flair to his
handsome face. Arissa watched him. Her heart thudded in her chest, beating fast and hard. “Mr. Graham?” His eyes flickered,
and he recalled the message the night before. “You sent me a text message yesterday, introducing yourself and stating you were
chased away by my fiancée. In the message, you told me to consider hiring you if I’ve not found a suitable candidate.
You even said you’re confident that you’re competent enough for the job.” Arissa was shocked as she was sure she did no such
thing. However, she suddenly recalled how sneaky and mysterious the kids were acting yesterday, and it dawned on her that
they must have sent the text message. “After I rejected you, you even threatened me to not regret my decision.” The corners of
Benjamin’s mouth lifted into a cold smirk. Arissa gazed into his eyes and gulped.
“Can I have a look at the sender’s phone number?” Benjamin told her the number and scrutinized her expression closely. He
narrowed his eyes and glanced at her sharply. “That’s you, right?” “No, it’s not!” Arissa was frustrated. I’ll have to lecture Zachary
when I get home. How could he not tell me about this? “It’s my family!” She nervously looked at him and said apologetically,
“Sorry, I didn’t know he texted you. I’m so incredibly sorry!”
Benjamin stared at her imposingly and asked in a low voice, “How is Zachary related to you?” She does not have my contact
details, but her family does. This woman should at least draft out her lies before saying them. Could it actually be her all

along? “My brother!” Arissa blurted.
Silence ensued. She looked at Benjamin nervously. It’ll be all right if I directly say that he’s my son, right? After all, he has never
met the kids and is a stranger to me as I don’t think we’ve met before. There can only be two scenarios. Either we’ve never met
before, or he isn’t the man from that night.
However, his resemblance to the children was uncanny. It was as if they were made from the same mold, and Arissa was taken
aback when she saw him. She never thought that the father to her kids would be such a distinguished person.
