You More than Anything in the World (Arissa)

Chapter 68 Reprimanded On First Day Of Work
Arissa rose to her feet and greeted everyone with a smile.
“Hi, everyone, I’m Arissa from the IT department. It’s my first day at work today. Pleasure meeting you guys!”
“From the IT department?”
“What a waste for such a beautiful woman to work in the IT department!”
“I’ll give you better treatment if you join my department! How about it? It’s an easy job in my department. We are only busy at the
end of every month to get payment received on time. Other than that period, we are pretty relaxed.”

Arissa was amused looking at the enthusiasm displayed by her new colleagues.
She politely rejected the offer. “I don’t know anything other than IT-related matters.”

“That’s not an issue! I’ll teach you!”
“Hey! How can you shamelessly poach her in broad daylight?”
Everyone was teasing each other and getting to know their new colleague before Benjamin’s arrival.
Meanwhile, Ethen followed closely behind Benjamin as they strode toward the meeting room while reporting to the latter his
agenda.
As they neared the meeting room, Benjamin frowned upon hearing the unusual merriness coming from inside.
Stepping in, he glanced across the room and saw everyone surrounding Arissa. A flash of coldness flickered in his eyes
instantly.
“Ahem!”

Having worked for Benjamin for many years, Ethen could sense something was amiss with his boss and quickly signaled the
rest.
Everyone took their seats accordingly as soon as they realized Benjamin’s arrival.
“It seems like Ms. York is quite popular here!”
Arissa was left standing by herself and meeting Benjamin’s gaze as everyone took their seats.
She was stunned at the man’s sarcastic remark.
Nevertheless, she replied with a smile, “I’m flattered, Mr. Graham.”
Giving him a hard stare, she did not budge an inch.
Benjamin looked intently at her for a brief moment before averting his gaze and taking his seat.
Seeing that, Arissa heaved a sigh of relief.
“Take a seat, Arissa!”
Her colleague sitting next to her signaled her to take a seat softly.
Arissa responded with a polite smile and sat down.
Benjamin shot a glare at her colleague. Noticing the man’s gaze, no one dared to speak a word.
“Report to me your progression of work now,” Benjamin ordered grimly.
With that, Ethen gestured to start with the finance department.
Despite the satisfactory progress of the finance department, Benjamin did not let the manager pass easily.
“I’ll get someone to replace you if you can’t get the bad debts settled soon!”
Arissa glanced at the man at the head of the table.
He was a stern man who exuded a natural domineering aura like a leader’s.
One could easily be intimidated by him when he wasn’t smiling.

At that moment, the entire meeting room went silent as everyone became stiffened, noticing that their boss didn’t seem to be in a
good mood that day.
Sure enough, all the department managers had gotten reprimanded.
Watching the miserable looks on the faces of the meeting attendees, Ethen secretly sneaked a peek at the grim-faced man.
Is Mr. Graham angry because of Ms. York or Ms. Adams?
When it came to Arissa’s turn to speak, Ethen gestured that she remain seated after rising to her feet.
“I’ve just taken over the IT department today and am still in the process of figuring everything out. Therefore, I’m unsure of the
current progress. Apologies, Mr. Graham. Please give me another day.”
With his gaze lowered, Benjamin seemed to be in deep thoughts. No one could tell if he was listening or not.
Without an order from him, nobody dared to speak further.
Arissa felt unnerved seeing no response from Benjamin, too.
“Mr. Graham!” Ethen reminded Benjamin politely.
Hearing that, Benjamin looked up and swept a glance at Arissa.
The neckline of her dress was slightly low, revealing a morsel of her cleavage. She still looked inexplicably sexy.
Benjamin’s face darkened upon noticing that.
“Report to me before the lunch break today!”
Arissa was rendered speechless.
Everyone widened their eyes in shock, too. It was clear that Benjamin was challenging Arissa.
How could Mr. Graham give only half a day to Arissa when she just joined the company today?
It wasn’t a small company, after all. No one could finish reading all the reports in half a day.
Even Ethen felt Benjamin was being too harsh and wanted to plead on behalf of Arissa. “Mr. Graham...”

Nonetheless, he gulped and swallowed the words as soon as he met Benjamin’s cold gaze.
“Why? You can’t do it?” Benjamin provoked while fixing his gaze on Arissa.
