?Chapter 621:


    After rinsing the cup thoroughly, Luca returned it to the desk.


    He then spent about thirty minutes in the office, reporting work and some updates from Briggs Group to William.


    When he left, he saw Ste clocking out on the first floor. Grinning, he waved and called out cheerfully, “What a pleasant surprise, Ms. Gilbert!”


    Ste turned around and was surprised to see Luca there. “Luca? What are you doing here?”


    Luca gave her a warm smile. “Just picking up some signed documents from Mr. Briggs.”


    “Are you heading out now?” she asked.<fnd92b> Updates are released by fι?dnοvel</fnd92b>


    Luca nodded but took a step toward her instead of leaving. “Ms. Russell, Mr. Briggs likes iced Americanos. Don’t bring the wrong kind next time—he didn’t even touch the one in his office today.”


    Ste blinked in confusion. “What coffee?”


    Luca looked surprised. “Wait, that wasn’t from you?”


    She quickly shook her head. “Of course not. I’m not his assistant, so why would I just bring him coffee?”


    Ste thought Luca might be too deep into his assistant role.


    Luca frowned slightly, rubbing his chin. “Then who brought the café auit that was on Mr. Briggs’ desk today?”


    Just as he finished, footsteps echoed from the corridor behind Ste. Both turned their heads, and there was Nina.


    In that moment, a thought clicked in Ste’s mind. She had a strong feeling that the coffee was probably sent by Nina.


    Before she could say anything, William stepped off the elevator and walked over. “What are you thinking about so seriously?” he asked.


    Ste blinked, then said, “Let’s go.”


    Inside the supermarket, William casually pushed the shopping cart, walking alongside her at an easy pace. His crisp suit stood out in the casual setting, attracting nces from nearly everyone around.


    Meanwhile, Ste, dressed in a in blouse, looked a bit out of sync next to his polished appearance.

    “Next time, wear something casual. You’re turning heads like you’re on a runway,” she muttered.


    William looked down at his clothes and asked, “What’s wrong with this outfit?”


    He didn’t get it. This was what he normally wore to work—neat, professional. It made sense for the office, so why wouldn’t it be okay for a quick trip to the supermarket?


    All of a sudden, Ste grabbed his arm and whispered, “Everyone’s staring! We’re grocery shopping, not walking a fashion ramp!”


    Her unexpected closeness made William’s heart skip a beat. He didn’t even hear what she said—he just pulled her close without thinking.


    Ste stumbled and almost fell into his arms.


    Once she stood steady again, she frowned and said, “William! What was that?”


    William shrugged, ying innocent. “You almost hit the shelf.”


    She turned to look, but right then, two women walked by, whispering, “That young couple is adorable. Even in the supermarket, they’re all over each other. They really look perfect together!”
