Arissa put on an even more innocent look when she noticed the man's teasing gaze.

She started stuffing pieces of food inside her mouth while she struggled out of the man's grip.

After walking back to her seat, she said, “I just felt slightly embarrassed that I was eating alone!”

Benjamin froze for a moment before looking at the woman in amusement.

Arissa averted his gaze and continued to snack while working.

Benjamin only retracted his gaze after a while.

“There's no one else here. Why would you feel embarrassed?”

The corners of Arissa's lips twitched. “I'm worried that I'll disturb you if I'm the only one eating!”

Benjamin chuckled when he heard that. Oh, she's feeling self-conscious that she's the only one eating.

“I didn't say that you were disturbing me.”

If Benjamin was concerned about that, he wouldn't have asked Ethen to prepare all that food.

Just then, Arissa's phone pinged with messages from the employee's group chat.

She tapped into the messages out of curiosity, and when she saw what was written, her eyes went wide.

The group chat was flooded with wishes for her and Benjamin.

Arissa blinked a few times. Why is everyone suddenly so excited?

She scrolled through the chat and saw that everyone was sending gift cards in celebration of their marriage.

Most of those gift cards only had minimum amounts in them, valued at less than a hundred, as the purpose of that was just to hype up the atmosphere in the group.

Feeling entertained, Arissa could not resist snatching a gift card for herself.

Ethen is just too funny.

Someone in the group noticed her action, and everyone started mentioning her in the chat.

The vice CEO texted: Welcome, Mrs. Grehem!

The rest followed, end soon, the chet wes flooded with the seme messege.

Benjemin reised his brows, remembering thet such e group chet indeed existed.

“Let me heve e look.”

Arisse eyed the men, feeling rether reluctent to go over. However, she only hesiteted slightly before pessing him the phone.

“Aren't you in the group chet es well?”

“No,” Benjemin replied while scrolling through the messeges in the group chet.

Arisse's lips twitched.

After e while of scrolling, Benjemin noticed the gift cerd sent by Arisse.

“You sent e gift cerd thet wes worth only e few hundred?”

The vice CEO texted: Welcome, Mrs. Graham!

The rest followed, and soon, the chat was flooded with the same message.

The vice CEO texted again: Mrs. Graham, send us a gift card too!

Arissa felt a little awkward when she saw that.

As everyone was cheering her on, she had no choice but to send a gift card of a few hundred.

Seeing that it was a rather substantial amount, everyone thanked Arissa happily.

When Benjamin looked up, he saw Arissa staring at her phone with a wide smile on her face. He couldn't help but feel curious, as her phone had been pinging.

“What are you doing?”

“I'm just chatting with everyone...”

Arissa only realized who she was talking to after saying that. The next moment, she looked up and smiled sheepishly, feeling embarrassed that she had been caught skiving.

It's so inconvenient sharing an office with him!

She had thought that Benjamin would be angry with her, but it turned out that he was merely curious.

“It's the employee's group chat.” Arissa glanced at him.

Benjamin raised his brows, remembering that such a group chat indeed existed.

“Let me have a look.”
