Chapter 699 The Lunch Appointment Became A Date

After explaining things to Arissa, Jonathan got up to leave. “Enjoy your meal. I have to go back to the office to sort out the details. See you.”

Arissa jumped to her feet. “Come and eat with us, Mr. Patterson! It won’t take much time.” “It’s fine. Work is more important.” The man cast a glance at Benjamin before nodding at her and walking away with his briefcase.

Arissa was bewildered. But it’s lunchtime! Doesn’t he need to eat?

“Sit down.” Benjamin’s brows puckered into a frown when he tilted his head to look at her, only to find her looking outside the window.

Meeting his dark gaze, Arissa could somewhat tell that he was not too pleased.

“Weren’t we supposed to have lunch with him? Why did he leave?”

“Didn’t you hear what he said? He’s busy,” Benjamin stated, obviously not caring whether or not Jonathan was going to eat lunch.

Soon, the dishes arrived.

“Let’s eat.”

Seeing him begin to eat, Arissa could only do the same.

It was not long until the woman’s eyes shone with delight. She looked especially pleased.

The food here is really good!

Benjamin’s eyes twinkled at the sight of how lovely the woman looked enjoying her food.
