Chapter 1079 You Are Shy

Ethen still did not pick up the phone. Benjamin figured he was still inside.

“He's not picking up,” he said to Arissa.

Immediately, her eyes flickered. Did they not take a break?

Seeing how worried Arissa felt about the results, Benjamin sent Ethen a text, which was a rare thing.

“I've texted Ethen. He'll return the call when he sees it. Don't worry about the results and get some rest.”

Arissa turned to him and nodded. “Okay. You should get some rest, too.”

After all, Benjamin was busier and had to work harder than her.

Benjamin poured himself a cup of water and drank it.

Arissa watched his every move, finding him incredibly attractive.

Just like that, she stared fixedly at him until Benjamin suddenly met her gaze and raised a brow.

His eyes twinkled before he turned away. Several moments later, he looked back, only to find her still staring at him.

Benjamin cleared his throat and put down his glass calmly.

Only then did Arissa snap out of it. Her eyes widened with surprise when she saw his ears turning red.

Is he shy?

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Benjamin asked in his hoarse voice.

Arissa gazed at him with her bright eyes that had crinkles at their corners. “Can't I look at you?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

Benjamin threw her a look before walking to the side.

“You're shy?” Arissa continued fixing her gaze on him.

Benjamin's lips twitched. “I'm not.”

Arissa smiled and stared at his ears which had turned even redder. “Stop denying it. Your ears are red.”

Benjamin rubbed his nose and sat down, feeling a little awkward. “Enough. I need to work.”

Arissa was amused to see how awkward he was behaving. However, she stopped teasing him when she sensed his annoyance.

She had never expected him to feel shy.

The serious look on the man's face and his reddened ears made for a cute sight.

When he looked up and noticed she was still looking at him, a light sense of pleasure rose in his heart.

He straightened his clothes and focused on his work, occasionally glancing at Arissa.

When he realized her eyes were still fixed on him, he approached her and pinned her on the bed. His actions made her heart skip a beat.

With both his hands propped up by her side, he said, “I won't hold back if you keep looking at me like that.”

Arissa's heart raced as she eyed him. “What do you mean by that?”

Immediately, Benjamin's eyes dimmed. He leaned closer and kissed her face.

Just as Benjamin was about to kiss her lips, Shaun entered.

“Ahem!” Shaun hurriedly left the room when he saw that intimate moment.

The public display of affection was too much for him.

Arissa hastily pushed Benjamin away, her face as red as a tomato.

Turning his head to the door, Benjamin straightened himself and asked expressionlessly, “What is it?”

Shaun returned to the room. The moment he laid eyes on the couple, he sensed Benjamin's hostile aura, which made him shudder.

Smiling sheepishly, he said, “I didn't know you guys were busy. Otherwise, I would've come later.”

Benjamin shot him a glare.

Shaun took out a bag of liquid. He had come to give Arissa an IV infusion. “Here, Arissa. Let's get you on some drips to replenish some nutrients.”

“Thank you.” Arissa felt so awkward that she glared at Benjamin, who placed his hands in his pockets without looking the slightest bit embarrassed. He simply looked displeased having been interrupted.

How shameless!

Arissa was amazed.

“You're welcome, Arissa. It's my job, anyway.”

Shaun hung the drip, flicked the needle, and made sure the liquid was flowing before inserting it into Arissa's arm
