Chapter 696 Inviting Her To Lunch

“I’ll find some time to talk to Benjamin about him deducting your one-month pay,” Arissa offered. Edwin grinned. “I shall await your good news, Mrs. Graham. If it’s you doing the talking, I’m sure you’ll succeed.”

His comment had her smiling diffidently. “I’ll try my best. But if it doesn’t work out, let me compensate you. It’s just that I don’t know how much he pays you.”

He merely smiled instead of answering her question. In truth, losing a month’s pay did not bother him. Benjamin always gave them lots of incentives and other benefits at the end of each year, after all.

“Please don’t, Mrs. Graham. If anything, it should be Mr. Graham who pays me.”

Suddenly, Arissa’s phone rang.

Seeing that the call was from Darius, she hastily picked it up.

“Issa! I heard from Benjamin that you didn’t come to the hospital because you were in bed. Are you not feeling well?”

The woman’s heart felt warm and fuzzy as she heard how concerned Darius sounded.

“I’m fine, Old Mr. Graham,” she replied kindly. “I just overslept a little this morning. I’m not unwell.”

“Seriously, that boy, Benjamin! He never tells me anything, even when I ask him. Anyway, I’m about to head over to Yaleview. Are you home now, or are you outside?”

“I’m at the hospital with my grandaunt right now. Is something the matter, Old Mr. Graham?” she asked gently.

“I had William prepare you some food. I’ll send it over to you.”
