[ Her assumption was right. He would have flat out told her no if she hadn't cut him off from doing so. But the last bit of her explanation has him frowning for a separate reason.
When she'd come into his office earlier that day, he took note of the book, but he never thought to ask on what the slips of paper were that she held along with it. Did Jezibelle really buy Grell every suggestion he made to her? Damn.
Adjusting his glasses, he rises from his chair, rounds his desk and approaches her. His gift to her is summoned and he offers it. Though he looks a bit unsure as he does. An odd look for him, certainly. ]
If that's what you have planned for the evening, then I suppose I should give this to you now.
[ His gift to her is a set of earrings and a necklace, both sporting large pendant rubies. It's the packaging that has him concerned right now, though. When helping Jezibelle with her gift, he had asked her for a suggestion on how he could wrap Grell's in a way that would make the obvious jewelry box less...well, obvious. She came up with a humorous idea to take forms Grell had filled out wrong and had to redo, shred them up and use it as filler around the smaller box. Being in Corrections, she had a drawer full of all the incorrect forms already!. William then topped the pile with a post-it note that said "Stop filling out your forms in red ink!!" While he liked the idea, the current awkward vibe between them made it seem wrong. Still he offered it to her. ]
