You More Than Anything In The World

Chapter 37 What Perfume Is That

Arissa's heart skipped a beat as she felt his gaze scanning her from head to toe.

Benjamin lifted his chin, gesturing for her to get in the car.

Bewildered, she asked, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Graham?"

"We will talk about it in the car," said Benjamin in a deep voice while staring straight at her.

His gaze was so sharp that even the sunglasses she was wearing failed to block his aggressive stare.

Arissa cast a glance at her daughter. Seeing that Ethen was looking after her, she bent down and hopped into the car.

Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows when he saw Ethen playing with a little girl. Nevertheless, he turned around and get into the car after her, not forgetting to close the door behind him.

As he got into the car, Arissa felt the pressure instantly in the air. It was her first time to be this close to Benjamin.

She gulped nervously as his scent enveloped her in the tight area. Her heartbeat was racing wildly which did not help to alleviate her stiffness.

As she stole glances at Benjamin, the latter was pursing his lips with a cold, impassive look. She quickly retracted her gaze.

It's starting to get ambiguous in here.

After preparing herself, she decided to break the silence in the air. "Mr. Graham, is there anything wrong?"

Upon her call, Benjamin turned and stared at her. His gaze was so intense that he could have seen through her.

"Do you live here?"

Uh!

"Ah, yes!" Arissa confessed honestly. There's no point lying to him as he had seen it.

"Your profile does not suggest that you live here."

Arissa took a quick glance at him. She was not sure whether she was exposed. Hence, she decided to take the initiative.

"The address on my profile is the place where I used to live. I haven't planned to move here before I return. Therefore, I used that address when I joined the company. Is this critical to my job, Mr. Graham? I think it's merely a small matter. Please be straight to the point as I have other pressing matters to handle."

The indifferent look Benjamin was wearing gave her chills. She felt stressed staying in the same space with him. He was unlike her four children, who were energetic and lively.

Thinking of her children, she could not help but size him up. She wondered whether she should pluck a bit of his hair and save it for later.

At last, Benjamin said, "Someone hacked into the surveillance camera system of my house. You shall be in charge of installing a new system for me."

Arissa's heart skipped a beat. As she blinked nervously, she was grateful she wore sunglasses that concealed her guilty look.

"Shall I go now?"

"You may go after you finish your work."

"Sure!" She smiled.

Benjamin offered the opportunity to visit his house just when she was trying to sneak a chance to do so. Naturally, she would not refuse his request.

I'm sure to see his children when I visit his house.

"Good."

"If so, I'm leaving." Arissa proceeded to open the car door on her side. However, it would not budge.

"This way." Seeing her awkward face, Benjamin gestured her to go down on his side. Besides, her side was facing the road. It was dangerous for her to get down from that side. Arissa had no choice but to get down from his side.

A sweet scent caressed his nose tip as she passed by him. It was such a familiar scent to Benjamin that his eyes flickered at once.

Arissa did not notice his strange behavior and got out of the car smoothly.

She turned and inquired, "Mr. Graham, would you mind sending your home address to my phone?"

Benjamin stared coldly at her in response, which gave Arissa a shock. What's wrong with his sudden change of attitude?

Instead of replying to her question, Benjamin asked, "What perfume do you wear?"

His query that came out of the blue had rendered Arissa speechless.

What's the situation now?

Puzzled, she replied, "I'm not wearing any perfume."

Her answer made Benjamin frown. It isn't a perfume? Then, why is there the same flower scent on her that I picked up that night?

"Remember to do your job. Ethen will send you the address shortly." Benjamin pinched his temples. That familiar scent seemed to linger around his nose tip, dazzling him. What's wrong with me? How can I think of that night...

"Sure!" Arissa closed the door and left.

Benjamin did not shift his gaze away from her as she left, with his eyebrows knitted tightly.
