Chapter 87 A Boyfriend
Spooning some food to Gavin’s plate, she said to the rest, “Help yourselves, everyone.”
They smiled and nodded politely before shifting their gazes toward Benjamin.
His eyes swept over them. “Let’s eat.”
Arissa eyed him. Wow, with the way he’s spoken, one would think he was the one paying for lunch.
Kingsley was already enjoying his food. “Dig in, everyone! I’m starving.”
With that, the atmosphere became lively again.
As he ate, Benjamin glanced to the side to see Arissa feeding Gavin very gently, and the little boy was
practically bursting with joy.
“Gavin, sit on the chair.”
Benjamin picked him up and placed him in one.
Arissa felt a little sad now that Gavin was no longer sitting in her embrace. However, she kept her
composure in front of Benjamin, spooning more food onto Gavin’s plate and handing it to the little boy.
“Eat up.”

“Thank you, Ms. York!” Thank you, Mommy.
Gavin picked up his fork and started eating.
He chewed on his food slowly, like a gentleman.
Arissa stared at him, in a trance. It was like she was looking at Jasper.
Why am I always getting this feeling? When I saw Gavin yesterday, I thought he was Jasper. I feel the
same way now…
She lifted her head and accidentally made eye contact with a pair of dark eyes. Arissa immediately
averted her gaze.
Seeing that Benjamin was still staring at her, she cleared her throat awkwardly. “Mr. Graham, aren’t you
going to eat?”
He finally tore his eyes away from her and started eating, his movements graceful.
Arissa glanced at him. He’s always acting kind of weird.
Maybe it was his imposing aura, but she was unable to dine comfortably.
“This dish is tasty, Ms. York,” Gavin said as he put a meatball on her plate.

Arissa beamed at him. She ruffled his hair and said gently, “Thank you!”
Just then, Kingsley started a conversation. “Arissa, where were you before you started working here?
I’ve never seen you before.”
“I was overseas and just came back.”
He nodded. “So, you’ve been working in IT?”
“Yeah!” Her eyes lit up at the mention of her passion.
Benjamin’s eyes flickered.
When Arissa had turned to wipe Gavin’s mouth, her sweet scent wafted into his nose, and his eyes
darkened.
“Do you have a boyfriend?” Kingsley asked directly.
Arissa was stunned as everyone turned to look at her.
She laughed heartily. “No!”
“Oh, that’s wonderful! I-”
“Shut your mouth and eat your food!” Benjamin shot him a nasty look.

“How am I supposed to eat if I shut my mouth?”
Kingsley rubbed his nose. What the heck is he doing? I wanted to ask Arissa if she would date him.
She’s Gavin’s mother! There’s no way I would even think of hitting on her.
Arissa’s eyes darted between the two of them and added, “I have a child!”
Upon hearing that, Benjamin’s gaze dimmed. He felt as if this was something out of his control.
The surprise was evident on Kingsley’s face. “You have a kid? How old is he?” he queried.
Arissa gave him a small smile. “He’s about five.”
Her colleagues had found out about this yesterday, hence they were not surprised by her words.
Kingsley looked at her, and then at Gavin. “Gavin is the same age! Now that the two of you are sitting
next to each other, I find that you really look alike. Now I know why I found you familiar when I first saw
you!”
Kingsley’s words had piqued everyone’s interest. Soon, all of them turned to look at Arissa and Gavin.
“Yeah, they do look alike…”
They regretted it the moment the words left their mouths and cautiously sneaked a peek at Benjamin.
He continued eating, as if he had not heard a word.
