After the Affair Falling into a Billionaire's Arms novel Chapter 362

Chapter 362

At his reminder, Louisa immediately glanced around nervously.

Julian simply extracted his arm and kept walking.

The move left Louisa completely baffled.

So he’d just been testing her?

Louisa’s mind wandered as she scanned the area- no one around.

She sighed and hurried after him again.

Julian cast her a meaningful look. ‘Ms. Forbes certainly takes her time deliberating. One question requires such lengthy consideration.”

Louisa fell silent.

More sarcasm?

Stay calm. Don’t get mad.

She grabbed his hand and coaxed, “What’s there to consider? I’m not scared. Not of anything.”

The words had barely left her mouth when a voice called out: “Mr. Tudor? Ms. Forbes, what are you two doing here?”

Louisa’s heart nearly stopped.

She looked toward the sound.

Drake Conner, the company’s Sales Director, stood before them with a knowing smile, his eyes glued to Louisa and Julian’s interlocked hands.

Louisa’s heart went numb. God couldn’t be this cruel to her, right?

She immediately tried to yank her hand free, but Julian held firm.

100%

Julian looked coolly at Drake. “Something wrong with us being here?”

As the Sales Director dealing with countless clients daily, Drake was sharp. He immediately caught how Julian gripped Louisa’s hand tighter, preventing her

escape.

He quickly backpedaled: “Mr. Tudor, I didn’t mean that at all. Of course, you can be here. I’m Wishing Mr. Tudor and Ms. Forbes a lifetime of happiness together.”

here too – picking up an important client. I should get going.

With that, he flashed Julian an ingratiating smile.

Julian waved dismissively. “Go ahead.”

Drake scurried off.

Louisa had tried several times to interject but couldn’t get a word in. Watching the scene unfold, she was stunned again. “Wait, this…”

Julian looked at her “What, dows Ms. Forbes have more to say to Mr. Connect‘

The question came out perfectly mild

Yet Louisa felt a chill run down her spine, she forced out a dry laugh. “No, I’ve nothing to say

Julian’s expression seemed to soften slightly as he walked hand in hand with her toward the parking lot,

Walking beside him, Louisa couldn’t shake the feeling shed fallen right into Juliage trap

Had he deliberately prevented her from explaining to Drake?

And Drake, armed with this explosive gossip would he really keep it to himself

Louisa wasn’t confident about that at all.

But at least Julian seemed less angry now,

Whatever. It was what it was,

When they reached Julian’s car, Louisa noticed Teddy, Noah, and Bob were nowhere to be seen, Julian had driven here alone.

Louisa gave him a placating smile. ‘Ill drive. Let me take Mr. Tudor home,”

She fished the car keys from his pocket and eagerly opened the back door for him

Julian’s barely softened expression immediately hardened again.

He shut the door and walked expressionlessly to the passenger seat.

Louisa went silent.

What now?

Wasn’t the right rear seat his designated boss position?

Why was he mad at her again?

Her chest felt tight with frustration.

If she’d known Julian would be this difficult, if she’d known sleeping with him would cause this much trouble, she should have resisted temptation from the

start.

Too late for regrets now.

She got into the driver’s seat and opened the door.

Seeing Julian sitting in the passenger seat without his seatbelt on, Louisa thoughtfully buckled him in before starting the car.

It was just past two she definitely needed to get back to work.

Without asking julian, she headed in the direction of the office.

As they approached an intersection, fulian suddenly said, “Turn right.

Louisa obeyed, merging into the right turn lane while asking: “We’re not going to the office? Are you heading straight home?

Julian gave her that wounded, aggrieved look again. “Didn’t you say you’d make it up to me properly? Going back on your word already?

Louisa stayed quiet,

Resigned, she nodded. “Make it up to you, yes. Just tell me where. I’ll go anywhere with you.”

‘City Hall.”

Those two words sent Louisa into a panic. Without thinking, she slammed on the brakes.

They’d just turned onto the right road – a narrow, single lane.

A chorus of honking erupted behind them.

Julian remained perfectly calm, drawling lazily: “Ms. Forbes, you’re disrupting traffic.”

Louisa thought: Whose fault is that?

She quickly gathered her thoughts, driving while stammering: “City Hall is… well, it’s not the kind of place you just go to on a whim, right? You need to think it through carefully. If you rush in without proper consideration, you’ll get caught up in all these processes and procedures… We’re both so busy, who has that kind of time? And take it from somed

meone with experience – City Hall is not a walk in the park. It’s not some romantic destination…

Good lord, she was running out of excuses.

Julian’s expression remained unchanged as he gave her a look. “Right, how could possibly have as much experience as Ms. Forbes? And here you said you’d go anywhere with me. Zero sincerity.”

Louisa choked on her words but could only force a smile. ‘Somewhere else. Let’s go somewhere else.”

City Hall left a terrible taste in her mouth. The last time she’d gone was to get married to George, followed by that disastrous marriage. The whole thing just

felt cursed.

Julian: “27 Elm Street.”

Louisa: ‘I don’t know that area. I’ll need GPS.”

She slowed down and started setting up navigation on the console.

While entering the address, she realized this road was already heading toward Elm Street. City Hall was in the opposite direction.

Julian had played her.

She shot him a look.

Julian showed zero guilt, meeting her eyes. “Ms. Forbes has a problem with that?

Nope

What could she say?

Location confirmed, she accelerated and followed the GPS.

Passing a convenience store, Julian spoke up again: ‘Didn’t Ms. Forbes say the Bay me Happy Mute?

Louisa: ‘Yes, yes, I’ll get them for you.”

Did Julian have to have such a good memory?

Well, at least buying Happy Nuts wasn’t a problem.

She pulled over and went into the convenience store.

She bought two pounds of Happy Nuts.

At checkout, she noticed Julian emerging from the pharmacy next door, carrying a pharmacy bag.

Had he gone to buy medicine?

Louisa paid and returned to the car, asking with concern: “Why did you buy medicine? Are you not feeling well?”

Julian’s expression remained melancholy.

Seeing him like this, Louisa wanted to complain: Enough already. Are you ever going to let this go?

Julian seemed to read her mind and said self–righteously: “Didn’t I tell you yesterday? I’m unhappy.”
