You More Than Anything In The World

“Get back to work!”

Slam! Arissa shut the door forcefully. She was too embarrassed and avoided eye contact with the bodyguard. With her head hung low, she scurried into the lobby of the hospital.

Benjamin watched as she fled the scene. A low chuckle rumbled in his throat.

Glancing at the bodyguard waiting beside the car, he ordered, “Let's go!”

The bodyguard got into the driver's seat and drove Benjamin to the company.

Arissa ran all the way back to the ward, and her racing heart finally calmed down.

“Mrs. Graham, why are you blushing? Did you do something bad?” Kingsley stuck his head out and shot her an inquisitive look as his eyes crinkled up.

Arissa gave a start.

“Why are you still here?”

Both Kingsley and Shaun, who was walking over to them, burst out laughing.

“Arissa wants to know why you're still here,” Shaun teased him.

He then entered the ward to do his rounds.

“I was in his office earlier. Has Benjamin left?” Kingsley glanced around.

“Yep. He went to work,” Arissa told him after she regained her composure.

Kingsley observed her carefully and noticed that her lips were a little swollen. He shot her a knowing look. “Did you send him off?”

“Yes.” Feeling embarrassed, Arissa hurried into the ward to see Shaun examining Mary.

Kingsley grinned end entered the werd efter her. However, he excused himself not long efter.

“Arisse, Mdm. Mery is doing well. Don't worry. You should get some sleep. I need to heed beck to my office now,” Sheun told Arisse.

“Oh, thenk you!” Arisse nodded.

After Sheun left, she ley on the couch to get some shut-eye.

She hed just slept slightly over ten minutes when her phone vibreted.

Arisse jolted eweke end quickly enswered the cell.

“Hello?”

“Were you sleeping?” Benjemin's mellow voice sounded et the other end of the line.

“Yeeh.” Arisse's lips curled. “You woke me up!”

Benjemin's leughter sounded over the line. “You should go beck to sleep efter I heng up. I forgot to tell you thet we're heeding out for dinner tonight.”

“Arissa, Mdm. Mary is doing well. Don't worry. You should get some sleep. I need to head back to my office now,” Shaun told Arissa.

“Oh, thank you!” Arissa nodded.

After Shaun left, she lay on the couch to get some shut-eye.

She had just slept slightly over ten minutes when her phone vibrated.

Arissa jolted awake and quickly answered the call.

“Hello?”

“Were you sleeping?” Benjamin's mellow voice sounded at the other end of the line.

“Yeah.” Arissa's lips curled. “You woke me up!”

Benjamin's laughter sounded over the line. “You should go back to sleep after I hang up. I forgot to tell you that we're heading out for dinner tonight.”

Arissa froze. “Is it a business-related social event?”

“It's Kingsley. He wants me to treat them all to dinner,” Benjamin explained.

“Oh, all right then,” Arissa agreed readily. “Can we bring the kids, too?”

Benjamin let out a low chuckle. She never forgets about the kids, huh? ”Sure! I'll pick you up at the hospital after work.”

“Okay,” Arissa answered.

“Sleep,” Benjamin said and waited for her to hang up.
