Chapter 960 I Also Missed You

Arissa had just finished her bath when she received a call from Benjamin. She sat by the bed to receive the call while wiping her hair dry. “Hello?”

“Are you awake yet?” After hearing Arissa’s voice, Benjamin deduced that she had already gotten out of bed.

“Yes,” replied Arissa. “Make sure you drink the mushroom soup I made this morning,” said Benjamin.

One could easily hear the concern in his voice. “I know. What are you up to?” Arissa asked casually.

“I’m in a meeting.” When Arissa heard Benjamin’s reply, the corners of her mouth twitched. Why is he calling when he’s in a meeting?

“Then go on with your meeting. Why did you call?” chided Arissa. She was rendered somewhat speechless by his actions.

“Well, I needed a bathroom break. I also missed you,” came Benjamin’s gentle reply.

Arissa could feel the heat rising in her cheeks. She said softly, “I’ll head over to the office in a bit.”

“There’s nothing much to be done. It’s okay if you come in a bit later.”

Benjamin was standing in the corridor with a lit cigarette. He seemed to have a distant look in his eyes.

“Is something bothering you?” asked Benjamin after taking a drag of smoke.

Arissa raised her head to look at the ceiling, feeling quite embarrassed.

“What do you think?”

What followed was a peal of low laughter from the other end of the receiver.

Arissa clenched her jaw.

How dare he laugh!
