"This hotel is a subsidiary of Graham Group," Benjamin said calmly before he continued chewing his food.

Arissa froze in shock.

What? This is a subsidiary of Graham Group? I don't think it was stated in the files I read before!

Noticing the look on her face, Benjamin decided not to tell her that he had only acquired this hotel the day before yesterday.

"Does that mean everything here is for free now?" Arissa asked excitedly.

"Yup!" Benjamin nodded.

Arissa then happily grabbed the menu and started ordering dishes that she and the kids loved.

Benjamin didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw that. "Those who don't about us might think I've been starving you guys!"

Arissa shot him a glance and said, "No, of course not! You're really nice to us, Graham! You're the best boss I've ever seen!"

Her sweet voice brought a smile to his face, and the look in his eyes turned gentle as he looked at her.

"Do you always flatter your bosses like this?"

Arissa shook her head profusely. "Nope! You're the only one I flatter! Wait, no... I mean, this isn't flattery! I genuinely think you're a good guy!"

Benjamin couldn't bring himself to get mad at her when he saw how cute her response was.

Arissa then passed her order down to the butler and carried on eating.

"Benjamin, the chef here is really good! You should give him a raise!"

Benjamin nodded. "Sure!"

Arissa was a little taken aback by his response, but chose not to think too much about it.

As the butler returned with more food moments later, Benjamin instructed, "Give all the chefs here a raise."

The butler was shocked. "Mr. Graham..."

"Just tell them Mrs. Graham enjoyed the food a lot, so we're giving them a raise," Benjamin added.

"Yes, Sir! Thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Graham!" the butler exclaimed while bowing gratefully.

Arissa retorted softly with a pout, "Since when did I become Mrs. Graham?"

Noticing that the butler was still standing there and watching nosily, Benjamin shot him a warning glare in response.

The butler then quickly served up the food and left them alone.

What, you don't like being called 'Mrs. Graham?" Benjamin teased her.

"I'm not married to you, so you'll give people the wrong idea!" Arissa protested.

"I'm not even worried, so why are you getting so worked up about it? Here, eat up!" Benjamin said while handing her a breakfast platter.

"You know what? It'd be a lot nicer if you'd be gentler instead of ordering me around all the time!" Arissa snapped back at him.

What? She's starting to make demands now?

Benjamin frowned at the thought of that. "Shouldn't you at least reflect upon yourself before you request such things from me?"

Arissa pouted. "Am I not gentle enough?"

"Hmph!" Benjamin snorted coldly, much to her chagrin.

The chefs were delighted when the butler informed them about the raise.

"Why are we getting a raise all of a sudden?"

"Because Mrs. Graham really likes the food you guys made. She's the reason behind your raise!"

"Mrs. Graham sure is a nice person! Should we go thank her?"

"Maybe later! They're having breakfast at the moment, so you guys probably shouldn't ruin the mood for them!" the butler reminded them.

"Oh, right! They're having a romantic breakfast right now, so we shouldn't interrupt! Hey, boss! What other dishes does Mrs. Graham like? We'll whip up some more for her!"

The butler, who had been personally serving Benjamin and the others, was actually the manager in charge of the hotel.

"I'll let you guys know when I've figured that out. From what I know, Mrs. Graham really liked whatever I just served them. You guys can use those dishes as a reference to figure out what she might like. Try coming up with some different dishes this time. Don't just make the same ones over and over."

"Yes, Sir! We'll come up with something different!"
