You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 26

Benjamin cast a meaningful glance at Arissa and ordered, “Ethen, set up her office!” His expression was unreadable, puzzling Arissa further. Why does he keep looking at me that way? It’s as if he’s harboring doubt toward me. She got up and said with a smile, “Thank you for the approval.” Benjamin glanced at her and returned to his seat behind the office desk, his sharp gaze remaining fixed on Arissa. “Go ahead and tell me your conditions, expected salary, and benefits.” She did not expect him to agree so easily, and the corners of her mouth lifted.

“The terms that were discussed earlier are fine. You can decide if I deserve more!” Arissa would not raise her asking price. Benjamin raised his brows at her agreeable manner and glanced at Ethen, then back at Arissa. “You’re under a probation period of one month, and your salary will be based on your previous one during this time. I need to see results within a month to decide if you’ll be converted into a permanent employee and get a raise.”

Arissa nodded and said, “All right!” There was not much to discuss. Benjamin shot a meaningful glance at Ethen, who immediately caught on. He bowed and said to her, “Ms. York, would you like me to take you to your office now or…” “Let’s go and meet everyone else first.

However, I need some time to tend to my personal matters today. I’ll officially start tomorrow. Is that okay?” Arissa looked at both of them and asked. “No problem! Come this way. I’ll show you around!” Ethen immediately agreed and brought her out. Arissa bid Benjamin goodbye before following Ethen out.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she was outside, having escaped from the man’s imposing gaze. Benjamin’s dark eyes followed her retreating figure, and an unfathomable expression hung on his face. “Ms. York, this way!” Ethen was delighted that they finally managed to recruit Arissa. She liked his easy-going manner, too. Arissa laughed and said, “We’re going to be colleagues now. You don’t need to address me as Ms. York. Just call me by my name!”All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“How could I? You’re my idol!” Ethen was filled with excitement. “Oh?” Arissa was taken aback and said with a smile, “It’s such an honor, but it’s better for you to call me by name as we’ll be working together henceforth.” Ethen laughed and said, “I’ll call you Ms. York and tell the Engineering Department that it’s your turf now!” Arissa nodded. “All right!” It does not matter how he addresses her. Ethen brought her to the department, explaining the organizational structure and the different levels while she listened attentively.

Soon, they arrived at the IT department, which was under the Engineering Department. Ethen clapped his hands, but no one noticed as they were all wearing earphones. “They’re all too absorbed in their tasks,” Ethen said apologetically. “It’s okay. That’s normal!” Arissa did not take it to heart, knowing people in her field often had to be absolutely focused when working.

Programming, in particular, had no room for interruptions. Ethen took her to the office and said, “See if there’s anything else you need and let me know.” Arissa looked around the office and was satisfied. “It looks fine. I’ll let you know if I need anything else.” “Okay!” Ethen said while nodding.

She turned to leave but found that everyone had gathered by the door, taking her by surprise. “Welcome, Ms. York!” Everyone was applauding as welcome, and there were flower baskets too. Arissa was taken aback. She did not expect them to be so welcoming and rubbed her nose. “Thank you!” “Ms. York, we have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. You’re finally here!”
