Chapter 31 A Fool To Not Be Interested In Her

Upon hearing his words, Edwin relented as he patted Jasper’s head.

“In that case, just wait for a little while. I’ll make some more food for you.”

“Thanks, Mr. Whitley!” Jasper grinned.

Having been melted by Jasper’s cute smile, Edwin hurried into the kitchen to prepare more food for the little one.

As he sat at the table waiting for more food to be served, Jasper took some pictures and sent them to Zachary.

The food here is so delicious! The best part about staying here is I get to have all the tasty food!”

Zachary could not think of anything to reply to his brother.

Meanwhile, Danna arrived at the lobby after leaving Benjamin’s office. Just when she was about to leave, Danna turned around and asked the receptionist, “Is there a Ms. York in the company?”

“I don’t think so.”

“Just tell me the truth. Is there someone by that name working in the office?”

Danna narrowed her eyes as she glared at the receptionist.

The receptionist, who had received quite a lot of favors from Danna, was startled by her sharp glare.

She tried to recall for a while before replying, “I think Mr. Frank sent a woman off this morning. If I’m not mistaken, her name was Ms. York. Was that the person you were referring to, Ms. Adams? That

woman came over for a job interview yesterday too. Just give me some time to check.”

The receptionist flipped through the visitor logbook. “Her name is Arissa York!”

Danna’s face turned pale.

That b*tch again! Why won’t she go away?

“Ms. Adams?” The receptionist felt afraid upon seeing Danna’s pale face.

Donna cast another glare at her before leaving with her bag.

How dare you try to lay your hands on Benjamin, Arissa York? You’ll pay for this! I need to get rid of that woman.

Once she got in the car, she made a phone call immediately. Her eyes were filled with malice and anger.

“I’m sending you a photo later. Just get rid of her for me!”

When Arissa finally came home, she was still in a state of shock. Nevertheless, the kids rushed forward and hugged her as soon as they saw her return.

“How did your interview go, Mommy?”

“Did you get the job, Mommy?”

“Mommy! Why did you come home so early? Did they decide not to hire you?”

“Tell us, Mommy! Did you get the job?”

Their soft and cute voices made Arissa feel incredibly happy and content.

She bent down and hugged them while planting a kiss on each of their cheeks. “Mommy got the job!”

“Wow, that’s awesome!”

Jesse cheered happily. “You don’t have to hunt for another job anymore, Mommy!”

Arissa pulled Jesse into her arms and showered the child with kisses.

Her sons were also grinning happily at the good news.

“I knew Mommy’s the best! If he doesn’t value Mommy’s talent, that Benjamin Graham is definitely blind and dumb!” Oliver chuckled.

Looking at the kids in front of her, Arissa thought they were practically mini-versions of Benjamin. Her heart raced at the thought of him.

Was it him back then?

“Congratulations, Mommy!” Gavin smiled brightly as he congratulated Arissa.

Arissa ruffled their hairs as she felt elated.

“Mommy, how much will he pay you?” Zachary asked curiously.

Zachary swore to get back at Benjamin if he didn’t hire Arissa for the job.

Arissa led them over to the couch and said, “The amount is what we’ve negotiated previously. Once I’ve become a full-time employee a month later, they’re going to increase my pay as well.”

Graham Group was famously known for having incredible and extensive perks and salaries in the industry. That was also the reason everyone wanted to join the company.

Zachary was happy upon hearing Arissa’s answer. He decided to cut Benjamin some slack for the time being.

“Go get ready now, my sweethearts! I’m going to bring you guys to the school to apply for admission!”

“Is it necessary to be this anxious about school, Mommy?” Zachary asked as he exchanged glances with Gavin and Oliver.

They only wanted to stay at home and not attend kindergarten at all.

“I’m going to work tomorrow. I don’t have time to take care of you guys. It doesn’t feel safe to leave you guys home unattended.”

“We’ll take good care of ourselves, Mommy!” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Jesse leaned on Arissa’s lap and acted coquettishly toward her.

“I don’t want to go to school, Mommy!”
