?Chapter 662:


    Meanwhile, in William’s office, Ste stood by his desk, arms crossed. “Why’d you call me in here?”


    William tilted his head toward the sofa. “Sit.” His tone was calm, but there was a hint of something else underneath.


    “Can’t this wait until after work?” She sighed. “We really shouldn’t be mixing work with personal stuff like this.”


    Everyone in the meeting room had definitely noticed his unusual behavior.


    William was sitting across from Ste, carefully making a cup of coffee. “This is the Geisha blend I asked Luca to pick up earlier. I remember you like this one. Go ahead, give it a try.”


    Ste froze for a second, caught off guard. She had never told him she liked Geisha coffee. How did he even know?


    The warm, rich aroma filled the room, wrapping around her like a gentle hug. She lifted the cup to her lips and took a slow sip. The vor was smooth and deep, with aplexity she rarely experienced. “These beans are amazing,” she murmured.


    She wasn’t a coffee connoisseur, but she did enjoy brewing her own every morning.


    She knew enough to recognize that this blend wasn’t something you’d find just anywhere.


    “If you like it, take the rest home,” William said casually. He pulled out a small bag of beans from the drawer and ced it on the desk. “You have a grinder at home, right?”


    He seemed unsure. Maybe he hadn’t paid much attention thest time he visited.


    Ste’s eyes widened when she saw thebel on the bag.


    Her first thought was how ridiculously expensive it must be. He really bought something this pricey just for her? That tiny bag probably cost a fortune. She frowned slightly. “Wouldn’t it be better to save these for entertaining business partners at Briggs?”


    William chuckled. “You think they deserve beans this good?”


    She didn’t know how to respond to that. Then he added calmly, “Just take it as a gift. To celebrate us being together.”<fnf856> Newest update provided by ?ovelFind</fnf856>


    Ste narrowed her eyes. “When exactly did I agree to be with you?”

    But despite her tone, the blush she had tried so hard to hide during the meeting returned to her cheeks.


    William’s voice came out soft and teasing as he said two simple words. “Right now.”


    Ste blinked, a little stunned. “What?”


    He leaned in slightly and added, “Your face is saying everything your mouth won’t, Stel.”


    Hearing that, a chill ran down her spine. She quickly cupped her cheeks with both hands. “It’s because your office is way too warm!”


    Before she could gather her thoughts, William had stepped closer. In an instant, the space between them disappeared.


    His scent, soft sandalwood, wrapped around her like a fog, clouding her mind. And then, just like that, she found herself pinned between the sofa and his chest.


    “Still feeling warm with the AC set to twenty-three degrees?” he asked with a smug look.
