Chapter 23 Not Interested

Arissa glanced at the man with the icy aura and took a seat. She could not help but become nervous.

“Pleased to meet you, Mr. Graham. This is my resume.” She handed the resume she had prepared earlier to him with both hands.

Benjamin glanced at her. He took the piece of paper and placed it on the table. “I already went through your resume.”

There was a moment of silence, and Arissa gulped, intimidated by the man’s imposing aura. She watched him carefully, secretly still surprised.

In fact, her mind was in such a disarray that she had completely forgotten the self-introductory pitch she had prepared.

So, he’s Benjamin. Could he be the man from five years ago?

Arissa thought of Danna and was even more astonished.

It would make sense that Danna took her kids if Benjamin was their father.

She did not know anyone with the surname Adams and could not get her head around why that woman would snatch her kids away.

Her mind was a mess.

At the same time, Benjamin was also scrutinizing her with his sharp gaze. Arissa was a beauty with delicate features and charisma. It was no wonder Ethen only had good things to say about her.

“You know me?”

Benjamin crossed his legs and leaned back, watching her.

His gaze was imposing, sharp, and carried a hint of mockery.

Arissa sorted out her thoughts and smiled softly. “No, I don’t!”

I would not be so surprised if I did.

Benjamin raised his eyebrows and looked directly at her. She says she doesn’t know me, but she’s been staring at me with surprise written all over her face.

“Unfortunately, I don’t fancy love-struck women.”

Arissa froze. Her face flushed red from anger when she realized what he meant.

Isn’t he too egotistical? He actually thought that I was love-struck? I only looked at him that way because of his resemblance to the kids.

“Mr. Graham, you may be handsome, but I was only staring at you because I thought you resembled someone I know. Not because I’m love-struck!” she retorted. There was no hint of admiration on her face.

Arissa realized that her words were slightly flirty immediately after saying them. Her brows furrowed in frustration as she mulled over the things she said.

Benjamin’s face darkened, and he squinted his eyes. “Are you always this headstrong?”

“Hah! That would depend on the person I’m speaking to. I’m here for an interview. If you’re hiring, then we should talk about work and nothing else. If you’re not sincere, then I shall take my leave!”

Arissa picked up her bag and got up. She stared squarely at Benjamin with an upset expression on her face. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

He’s hot. So what if I take a few looks? How dare he say that I’m love-struck! I’m already immune after watching over the four kids back home.

Benjamin sat on the couch. His gaze darkened and swept over her.

He was seated, but he had an aura of a majestic king and his presence overshadowed hers.

“How impatient. This is not a quality that professional programmers should have!”

Benjamin sneered and lifted his hand, gesturing her to sit back down.

Arissa looked at him and frowned. He was watching her with an unfathomable expression.

In the end, she sat back down.

“I’m sincere in interviewing for Graham Group, and I came back in search of a stable job. Your fiancée chased me away when I came yesterday, but I won’t take it to heart. However, I think that you misunderstood my intentions. I feel that it’s best if you clear them as I don’t like to beat around the bush. I’m absolutely serious when it comes to working. The company won’t extend an offer to me otherwise,” Arissa fearlessly voiced out.
