Chapter 1082 Treat You To A Meal

“Bradley!” Arissa called out.

Bradley hummed a response before asking, “Boss, why did you call me just now?”

“Oh, it's nothing,” Arissa responded when she saw Benjamin still staring at her.

Unaware of her knowledge regarding the matter, Bradley informed, ”Boss, I went to the court today. Danna's given a life sentence.”

“I just heard about it, too.” Arissa was in a good mood. Now that the criminal had been punished, she felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest.

“Boss, you called me because of this, right?” Bradley guessed belatedly.

“Yeah.” Arissa laughed.

“I'll pay you a visit later. You get some rest,” Bradley said hurriedly.

“I've been transferred to Shaun's hospital. Just come over here if you're visiting,” Arissa said.

“Okay. See you later.” Bradley dared not prolong the conversation for fear of disrupting her rest.

After putting away her phone, Arissa noticed Benjamin was still sitting beside her. Immediately, a glint flashed past her eyes. “Why are you looking at me?”

With his eyes fixed on her, Benjamin muttered jealously, “You seem friendly with him.”

Arissa's lips twitched. She scrutinized him before asking, “Are you jealous?”

Benjamin simply snorted and averted his gaze.

Arissa could not help but laugh at his cute behavior. Grabbing his hand and swaying it, she said, “Don't be angry. I'll be more friendly with you in the future.”

Her gentle and sweet tone made Benjamin feel much better.

He said in a deep voice, “Get some rest.”

Arissa nodded and lay obediently on the bed.

Benjamin leaned forward and kissed her forehead before returning to his work.

Not long after, Edwin brought lunch over. Benjamin ate with Arissa.

As soon as they finished their meal, Jonathan, Ethen, and Bradley arrived.

Jonathan went forward and asked, “Arissa, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah. Benjamin's just worried, so I'm staying here for a few more days,” Arissa said to them.

“Danna's case is closed. She's given a life sentence, so you don't have to worry about it anymore,” Jonathan informed.

“Thank you, Mr. Patterson,” Arissa said. Jonathan was the biggest reason Danna was given a life sentence.

“Don't worry about it, Arissa. Besides, I get paid well when it's Benjamin who asks me for help.” The smile on Jonathan's stern expression made him look more friendly.

“It's what you deserve. You've helped us a great deal.”

Jonathan glanced at Benjamin, who kept his hands in his pocket. Benjamin said, “My family and I will treat you to a meal when my wife's discharged.”

Arissa agreed, “Yes. We've got to thank you properly, Mr. Patterson.”

“You can just call me Jonathan. Anyway, I shall not disturb your rest. I've got something to talk to Benjamin about,” Jonathan said before walking off to the side to talk to Benjamin.

Bradley and Ethen, too, asked Arissa about her well-being before recounting everything that happened at the court.

They did not return the call in time because the complaint was too long. After that, Jonathan debated with the other party. Their evidence was accurate and sufficient. Danna's lawyer was not Jonathan's match.

For some reason, the lawyer Danna had hired originally, who was as powerful as Jonathan, had suddenly refused to accept the case. That was why everything had gone so smoothly.

After listening to their stories, Arissa finally understood why they did not answer their phones. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“Thank you both for today. I'll get Benjamin to treat you to a meal tonight.”

“Let's have lunch, Boss! We haven't eaten yet,” Bradley suggested with a grin.

“That works too!” Arissa could not be more grateful that they had rushed over right after everything was settled.

Coincidentally, Benjamin and Jonathan had finished their conversation. Arissa said to Benjamin, “Take them out for lunch. They haven't eaten yet.”

Benjamin turned to the trio and nodded.
