Chapter 91 Kicked By Benjamin

“Thank you, Mr. Watts!”

Arissa returned a toast of thanks with Kingsley.

Then, she took a sip from her wine glass.

“One sip of wine isn’t sufficient!” Kingsley teased.

Arissa glanced at him and smiled politely. “I can’t drink too much as I still have to work in the afternoon.”

Despite saying that, she still finished her glass of wine with a huge gulp.

“Ms. York has good alcohol tolerance. Impressive!” Kingsley gave her a thumbs up. He finished his wine quickly and went on to another glass for her.

Arissa stopped him. “Mr. Watts, I can’t drink anymore!”

A few more glasses of wine would not really make her drunk. However, it would make her less energetic at work.

“Kingsley, that’s enough!” Benjamin kicked Kingsley beneath the table.

Kingsley’s hand trembled because of this. This caused some wine to be splattered onto Gavin’s face.

“I am terribly sorry, Gavin!” Kingsley quickly apologized.

Arissa wiped the mess off Gavin’s face with a napkin. “Did it enter your eyes?” she asked with concern.

“No.” Gavin shook his head. He then frowned at Kingsley and scolded, “Mr. Watts, you’re not a gentleman! You insisted on making Ms. York drink more even though she refused to.”

Kingsley suppressed his urge to burst into laughter. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

It seems like both Benjamin and Gavin are protective of Arissa.

“A little more wouldn’t hurt. One more glass of wine?” Kingsley asked Arissa.

Arissa agreed helplessly. “Just a little!”

Kingsley smirked and poured half a glass of wine for her.

Arissa’s mouth twitched slightly.

“There you go. Less than one glass of wine.” Kingsley stood and placed the glass in front of her.

He also poured himself a glass of wine. Subsequently, he faced Benjamin and asked, “Do you want a drink as well?”

Benjamin, who had a grim look on his face, glared at him. Kingsley immediately turned away and asked the others, “Does anyone else want a drink?”

Everyone rejected his offer after seeing what he did to Arissa. They excused themselves as they had to resume work in the afternoon.

The employees suggested casually, “Mr. Watts, let’s have a drink at night instead.” All of them knew Kingsley well as he visited Graham Group very often.

“Sure, let’s go then!” Kingsley replied mischievously.

“Ms. York, don’t go with Mr. Watts.” Gavin raised his head and told Arissa.

Arissa smiled at Gavin dotingly. “I will be all right.”

Kingsley grinned. He raised his glass and said, “Cheers. We shall continue tonight!”

Arissa toasted and took a few sips. She then said, “Mr. Watts, I have to take care of my kids after work tonight. I’m afraid I will not be able to accept your invitation.”

Benjamin felt better after hearing Arissa rejecting Kingsley.

“So, it’s true that you have children at home?” Kingsley asked with a smile.

Arissa nodded her head.

“Has everyone finished their meal?” Benjamin’s voice rang.

The lively atmosphere disappeared instantly. The employees started to finish up their food swiftly.

The lunch lasted till around one in the afternoon. They left Drawbridge Dining 20 minutes before the working hours started.

“Gavin, I need to head back to work already.” Arissa was happy to see her son here. What’s more, they even had a meal together.

Gavin blinked. “Ms. York, since there’s still some time left before you resume working, can you send me to school?”

He held her hand as he did not want to part with her so soon.

Arissa’s heart melted at his request. She pinched his cheeks and looked at him.

“Get in the car,” Benjamin instructed with a raised chin. Arissa secretly laughed and carried Gavin into the car.

“Come on. I’ll send you to school!”

“Hehe! Awesome!” Gavin smiled happily.

Benjamin froze as he noticed slight hints of similarity between both of their smiles.

“I’ll be right back after sending Gavin off,” Arissa informed her colleagues.

To be honest, it was rather awkward for an employee to be in her employer’s car on her first day of work.

However, Arissa did not care much. She only wanted to spend more time with her son.
