Chapter 270

"Fine!" Before William could finish speaking, Emily reached up to cover his mouth. "I'll move."

This man always knew how to unravel her composure.

The corner of William's lips curved as he took her hand and pressed a kiss to her fingers. "Good girl."

Emily turned her face away.

Back at the Grand Heights apartment, Emily opened the closet and began packing her things.

"Need help?" William leaned against the doorframe.

"No." She didn't look up. "Just stay where you are."

He arched a brow, watching her move briskly around the room.

There weren't many clothes—most had been bought by him. She only took a few frequently worn pieces, leaving the rest neatly hanging.

Makeup and recording equipment took up most of the suitcase.

"That's it?" William asked as she zipped it shut.

"Yes." She nodded. "I'll come back if I need anything else."

He took the suitcase and led her out of the apartment by the hand.

In the car, Emily checked the time. "You should go to the office first. Sam can take me back."

"Just call me Sam," the driver quickly interjected from the front seat.

Emily smiled faintly.

At the entrance of BestTech Tower, William hesitated before getting out.

"Come up with me?" His fingers traced circles on her wrist.

"No." She pulled her hand back. "It'll distract you from work."

"I can't focus without you." He leaned in, his warm breath brushing her ear.

The tips of Emily's ears flushed pink. "I have a recording session at Leap Studios this afternoon."

William suddenly pulled out his wallet and slid a black card into her palm.

"Use it however you want."

She pushed it back. "I have my own money."

William narrowed his eyes, then cupped the back of her neck and kissed her.

The kiss carried a hint of punishment, only breaking when her breathing grew uneven.

"Sam will arrange security to follow you." His thumb brushed her slightly swollen lips. "Let me know before you go out."

Emily nodded. "Understood."

She exhaled as she watched him enter the building, then turned to Sam. "Let's go."

Her reflection in the window showed flushed cheeks.
