Chapter 277 Arissa Becomes A Secretary

“Why? Since you’re recovering well, you can be discharged at any time. After all, it’s still better to rest at home!” Arissa refuted. No matter how well-equipped the hospital is, it’s still not as cozy as the house! If it wasn’t because his condition was rather serious yesterday, he would not have to be hospitalized!

Staring at her subtly, Benjamin warned, “Even after I’m discharged, you still have to take great care of me. Don’t ever think that you can relax after this.”

Arissa pouted and grumbled, “Of course, I know. I didn’t say that I wouldn’t take care of you after you’re discharged, did I?”

Looking into her glimmering eyes, Benjamin’s gaze darkened. “Go ahead with the discharge procedure then.”

“Hang on! The drip will still take some time.” Arissa grinned ear to ear, delighted that they would probably be able to leave by noon.

In high spirits, she packed their luggage and collected the clothes hung outside the ward.

By the time their things were packed, Benjamin’s medicine had finished dripping as well.

Arissa called the nurse to help pull the needle out for Benjamin and update the doctor.

After inspecting Benjamin’s condition, the doctor allowed him to be discharged. Arissa was about to step out to handle his discharge procedure when he stopped her. “Take your things. We’re leaving now.”

Thinking that he was planning to go to the discharge counter with her, she assured him, “The discharge procedure will take a while. Just wait for me here.”

“Just get them to do it.” He threw the bodyguard a glance and got to his feet to tidy up his documents.

To play safe, Arissa scanned through the whole ward again. After ensuring nothing was left behind, she picked up the luggage.

“Mr. Graham, let me carry all these for you!” She stretched out her hands swiftly to carry the pile of documents from Benjamin.

He glanced at her and turned to step out without uttering any words.

At the sight of Arissa carrying piles of things behind Benjamin, the bodyguard moved forward to help her. However, Benjamin gestured to him to stop.

As there were not many things, Arissa could carry them effortlessly. Nonetheless, she had to quicken her pace at times to catch up to the man in front of her.

Unaware that Benjamin had come to a halt at the entrance, she did not slow down and collided into a wall of flesh. “Ouch!”

She staggered a few steps back before regaining her balance again.

Before Benjamin could utter any words, someone mocked preemptively, “Oh? Isn’t this Ms. York?”

Dressed glamorously with her designer bag, Regina Lawson stared at Arissa with utter disdain in her eyes. With one arm wrapped around Hector, her chest was pressed against his arm intimately.

The smugness written all over her face was repulsive to Arissa. It never occurred to her that she would bump into them there.

She straightened up and shot them a frigid glance. The next second, she turned away in a grimace as if she had seen something revolting.

With her nose in the air, she turned and told Benjamin, “Let’s go!”

Regina could barely take her eyes off the good-looking man with a unique vibe of nobility alongside Arissa. Looking at how close they seemed, she was green with envy. D*mn it! How did she get to know such a dignified man! Not to mention, he doesn’t seem like an ordinary man.

Standing alongside her, Hector felt a prickle of displeasure as he scanned Benjamin from head to toe. Sensing that the latter exuded a mightier aura of presence, his temper flared gradually.

However, when he saw the piles of things in Arissa’s arms, he smirked. Ah! It seems that they’re not a couple! Hmph! After rejecting me back then, she ends up working humbly for someone else now!

“Arissa York, I thought you would be able to get a high-paying job. It never crosses my mind that you’ll become a secretary for someone. I bet this is a challenging job for you, huh?” Regina sneered at the top of her lungs, humiliating her wittingly in front of Hector.

Arissa stopped in her tracks at once and turned to glare at her. “Is there anything wrong in being someone’s secretary? After all, it’s a righteous profession, and I’m paid accordingly for my capabilities. With this, I don’t have to rack my brains trying to two-time someone like you. Going around seducing the young heir of a wealthy family, and being someone’s sugar baby! Pfft! I’m ashamed of those young heirs of prominent families. They must have lost their minds falling heads over heels for this type of shameless woman. I can’t believe some of them are even thinking of marrying such worthless women. They must be blind! What nonsense!”

“Y-You’d better watch your mouth!” Regina turned crimson with fury in an instant. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Feeling a rush of anxiousness, she darted a glance at Hector. Bloody hell! How did the b*tch find out about that?
