Chapter 47 Is He Testing Her

“Ms. York, we’ve arrived!” the guard announced as he turned his head.

“Thank you!” said Arissa and got out of the car.

Edwin, who was standing at the door, welcomed her with a big grin on his face.

“Hello, Ms. York. I’m the butler of the Graham family. You can call me Edwin. Mr. Graham is busy now, so he asked me to bring you to the control room,” stated Edwin.

“Hello, Edwin. Sorry to trouble you!” said Arissa with a smile.

“Ms. York, please follow me!”

While leading Arissa to the control room, Edwin could not help but size her up.

He thought to himself that Arissa was indeed beautiful yet down to earth.

Somehow, he noticed that her side profile resembled Gavin’s. And thus, she gave off an aura of likeability.

At the same time, Arissa was observing the building too.

The building had a combination of modern yet classic design, making people feel comfortable.

As Arissa turned her head back, she noticed that Edwin was looking at her. She smiled faintly in response.

“Ms. York, do you know Mr. Graham?”

It was beyond Edwin’s expectation to see a woman coming to fix the surveillance camera system. He thought it would be a guy instead.

Arissa answered with a smile, “Not really. I just passed my job interview and joined the Graham Group today. He’s my boss!”

“Oh, I see.” Edwin nodded and smiled as they entered the room. “Please take your time. I’ll be going now.”

After looking at the setup for the surveillance cameras in the mansion, she then reset the defense system.

She observed every monitor, hoping to see the kid she was looking for.

At that, Edwin then brought her some fruits and a cup of tea. “Ms. York, please have some tea!”

“Thank you,” Arissa answered.

“Does Mr. Graham live here alone?” she asked.

She was trying to see if she could get any information.

“No, Gavin lives here too,” answered Edwin without hesitation.

Arissa acknowledged his response while she worked.

After some while, Edwin left the room, leaving her alone in the room. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Arissa quickly checked the surveillance cameras.

At that, she could feel her heart racing as she saw a kid running upstairs.

She zoomed in on the camera so she could look at the child’s face.

Out of the blue, she heard someone saying, “Are you done with the setup?”

Arissa nearly jumped out of her skin. She quickly opened up another browser and turned around.

It was Benjamin who was standing close behind her.

She could even smell a hint of mint coming off of him.

She swallowed instinctively and stepped back.

As she looked into his dark, brooding eyes, she became nervous. Regardless, she tried her best to stay calm.

“I’m checking for vulnerabilities in the system!”

Benjamin stared straight at her and said, “Are you done checking then?”

Luckily, she had just checked them before looking at the recordings.

Hence, she calmly answered, “The study, dining area, and the main door are the weak points.”

Benjamin stared at her and asked, “Can you get this done in ten minutes?”

Arissa froze at that. Is he testing me?

“Three minutes is enough,” she answered.

Programming was a piece of cake for her.

Arissa then turned around and faced the computer. Her fingers hovered over the keyboard as she typed quickly.

There were lines of codes that appeared on the screen.

Benjamin was smitten, looking at Arissa, who was attentively working.

She’s got some real skills.

She looks too calm. Either she is well prepared, or she was not the one who did it.

“This system is almost flawless. But there are still some vulnerabilities. Who designed it previously?” asked Arissa.
