Benjamin embraced him and stroked his head. “Are you having fun here?”

Arissa sighed and did just that before joining them.

Benjamin narrowed his eyes. Can’t she read the room and invite me to dinner? After all, I’m her boss.

“Well, I haven’t eaten yet. Let me join you.”

With that, he carried Gavin in his arms and walked toward the dining table.

Arissa was bewildered. Never had she imagined that Benjamin would invite himself just like that.

“Why? I invited you for dinner at my house last night. Won’t you at least allow me stay for dinner tonight?”
