After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 279

Julian gave her a pointed look. “You really should. That alcohol was expensive and you can’t afford it. You drank it and now you’re trying to skip the bill.

Louisa fell silent.

“But I don’t give credit,” he continued, unless you’re sure you want to buy. Otherwise, don’t think you can take advantage of me.”

Louisa choked on her soup and coughed several times. “What if… what if I already took advantage?‘ she asked weakly.

Julian’s eyes gleamed. “Then I’ll chase you to the end of the world.”

Louisa said nothing.

Thank goodness she hadn’t really been drinking. Julian’s “wine” was way out of her price range. She didn’t dare drink it.

She quietly returned to her soup, though it was a poor substitute for what Julian was offering.

Julian watched her obvious avoidance and scoffed. “How is it that the minute money comes up, you turn into a turtle hiding in its shell? You won’t even

consider it?”

“I don’t have money,” Louisa replied.

Despite her forty billion dollars, that sum couldn’t possibly be enough to buy Julian, could it?

“Wasn’t it you who told me yesterday that you have an unlimited black card?” Julian asked.

“It’s your card.”

*Exactly. I’ve already given you my black card and you still think it’s not enough? could lend you more. Think about it.”

‘I can’t pay you back,” she protested.

‘I’ll let you pay in installments.”

‘R–really?‘ Louisa stammered.

“Really,”

And then Louisa actually started to consider it.

She thought about that breathtaking kiss from last night…

No, no. Stop,

She quickly pulled back her eager heart.

Stay calm. Be rational.

Just then, Teddy appeared with another tray of food.

Louisa immediately changed the subject, giving Julian a sweet smile. Let’s cat, an. We have job to do, right?”

Julian laughed, exasperated.

He didn’t want to deal with her anymore.

Catching his frosty glare, Louisa didn’t dare speak again. She focused on her food

She was completely oblivious to Julian’s lingering gaze on her.

But the people at the next table noticed.

Sadie watched Louisa with a contented smile. “Looks like our Louisa’s finally getting her happy ending.”

“But why do I feel so bad for my boss?” Noah said. “It’s making me want to cry.”

Teddy nodded. “Has Julian ever pursued anyone this hard before?”

“Has he ever pursued anyone at

ally.

Noah asked.

“Not that I know of. I’ve been wit

him for five years and never seen it.”

“I really don’t understand what Ms. Fo

heart is made of. How can she be so cold?” Noah wondered.

The two men exchanged glances and sighed in unison.

“Could you guys stop feeling sorry for Julian?” Sadie cut in. “I feel bad for Louisa She’s had a tough life. Her father loved her, but her mother didn’t like her and often hit and yelled at her. As a child, she frequently went hungry, and her brother almost-”

“Almost what?” Noah, Teddy, and Jacob asked simultaneously.

Sadie stopped herself mid–sentence. “Anyway, Louisa’s had it rough. Then she me George and gave him all her love and passion. She ruined her health, and he still cheated on her and hurt her. Even if she likes Julian, she’s afraid to accepit.”

Noah looked confused. ‘Why can’t she accept it? If they love each other, shouldn they be together?”

“You wouldn’t understand,” Sadie replied.

Both groups finished their meals and headed back to their rooms.

In the elevator, as they parted ways, Julian told Louisa, ‘We leave in an hour.”

No one else understood what they were talking about.

Back in their room, Sadie immediately bombarded Louisa with questions: “What Julian mean? Where are you going in an hour? Just the two of you? What will you do?”

“Let me shower first, Louisa said. Il tell you while I’m doing my skincare rout Save time

‘Okay! Sadie agreed.

She’d already showered, so she pulled out her laptop to handle some work.

Twenty minutes later, Louisa emerged from the bathroom.

She wore only a white towel wrapped around her body, revealing her smooth shoulders.

Sadie looked up, ready to talk, when she spotted the hickeys on Louisa’s chest. She broke into a suggestive smile. “Whoa! You didn’t tell me everything yesterday. Things got that intense with Julian last night? What exactly did he do to you?”

Her curiosity grew with each word.

Louisa noticed the marks on her chest and blushed, laughing softly. “Find a man and try it yourself. Don’t ask me.”

“Are we still best friends or what?” Sadie demanded.

Louisa gave her a wry smile. ‘Speaking of which, Ms. Hotshot Lawyer, you’re 27 and haven’t had a single relationship. You don’t trust men yourself, yet you’re so eager to match me with Julian.”

‘Is Julian just any ordinary man? He’s practically a god! If you find a man like that, you should marry him immediately!”

“Why don’t you marry him then?‘ Louisa countered.

‘Does he like me?”

Louisa fell silent.

Well, that conversation was over.

She took out her clothes and got dressed.

Sitting at the vanity to apply her makeup, Louisa changed the subject. “Let’s talk about something serious.”

“Go ahead.” Sadie sat beside her.

Louisa recounted her conversation with Julian from the previous night, then explained about meeting Mark’s uncle.

Sadie was shocked. Seriously? Julian has gone that far for you?”

‘Yes.‘

‘Honestly, Julian is amazing–handsome, from a good family, great body, wonderful personality, and incredibly emotionally stable. Most importantly, he understands you and thinks of everything. The more I think about it, the more perfect he seems. I really don’t understand how you can resist him.”
