After the Affair: Falling into a Billionaire’s Arms

Chapter 392

Julian had said before that every time Teresa dared make a scene in front of Louisa, he’d demote her once.

Last night, Teresa chased after him to Julian’s house. Even though Adeline had sent her there, it still greatly displeased Julian.

First thing this morning, he’d had Teddy issue a personnel order.

Over three consecutive days, Julian had demoted Teresa three levels.

Julian truly didn’t fear what negative impact his actions might have on the company.

Marlee laughed. “You don’t know–Teresa is already a thing of the past in our department now. You’re the soul of the investment division.”

“Under your leadership, everyone can work properly and still get their bonuses. What does Teresa’s situation have to do with anyone? No matter how her position changes, it’s just gossip over tea. The overall situation and rhythm of the investment department won’t be disrupted.”

This was a completely different scene from a month ago when Teresa was the investment director.

Back then, the slightest disturbance would destabilize the department.

Now, even if Teresa, the seventh team leader, quit entirely, as long as Louisa was there, the seventh team wouldn’t fall apart.

The situation was completely different from a month ago.

Julian must have clearly understood the current circumstances to so recklessly demote Teresa.

But Louisa was curious about one thing:

“Teresa isn’t even the seventh team leader anymore. What position was she demoted to? She couldn’t possibly have actually become a regular employee, could she?”

Louisa’s intuition told her this was impossible.

Teresa had always been arrogant and proud. She wouldn’t accept such humiliation.

Marlee shook her head. ‘I don’t know. She’s not in the seventh team, and I haven’t seen her all morning,”

Louisa nodded.

She knew Teresa definitely couldn’t bear this grievance.

Louisa patted Marlee’s shoulder. “Work hard. Don’t just think about being my assistant. Broaden your perspective, take the long view. I estimate Mr. Tudor will eventually give you this seventh team leader position.”

“Really?”

Marlee’s eyes lit up as she looked at Louisa in surprise.

Louisa: “What, already happy? Don’t want to learn from me anymore?”

“How could that be?”

Marlee hugged her arm playfully. Ill always be your little fangirl.”

Thank goodness she’d chosen the right person to follow back then. Otherwise, she’d never have any prospects in this lifetime.

Louisa naturally felt a special bond with her, too.

If Marlee hadn’t chosen to stand by her side without hesitation back then her path in the investment department wouldn’t have gone so

smoothly.

At the very least, not this quickly.

Ultimately, they had achieved success together.

After chatting with her a bit more, Louisa went upstairs to the 36th floor.

While taking the elevator, she ran into Percy.

Percy was about to go to the 37th floor to see William.

Meeting Louisa, he greeted her with a beaming smile. “Ms. Forbes, good morning.

That smile was as fake as could be.

Louisa: “Morning, Mr. Adams.”

Equally fake, though her attitude was much more lackadaisical–purely going through the motions with Percy.

Then she lowered her head to fiddle with her phone.

The message was clear: didn’t want to chat.

Percy pretended not to understand and continued talking to her. “Have you heard? Ms. Hughes has been transferred to Mr. William Tudor’s side. She’s now Mr. William Tudor’s special assistant.”

Louisa’s fingers, typing on her phone, paused slightly. Her expression showed surprise.

But she quickly returned to normal.

That made sense, actually.

Teresa was, after all, raised by Adeline from childhood–nominally the fourth miss. How could she really become a regular employee?

Originally, following Julian’s pace, Teresa had already been demoted two positions from deputy director. If she made trouble one more time, Julian would definitely fire her.

How could Adeline possibly allow him to fire Teresa?

She’d timely transferred Teresa to William’s side, essentially cutting off Julian’s notion of firing her.

After all, if Teresa made mistakes now, it would be during William’s tenure Julian couldn’t interfere.

That move was truly brilliant.

It seemed the Tudor family really did like Teresa. Regardless of whether she could ultimately win julian back, the Tudor family had a place for

her.

If she couldn’t be a princess consort, she could still be a princess.

That was Teresa’s fallback.

Percy sighed dramatically. “I thought Teresa had already fallen into the dust. Now she’s soaring again. Sure enough, in the face of status, even

the greatest effort is futile. Don’t you think so, Ms. Forbes?”

Louisa hadn’t wanted to engage with him, but his final question directed at her meant she couldn’t pretend not to hear.

Louisa smiled lightly and casually. “How could it be futile? Status is a trump card, but hard work doesn’t go to waste either. Wouldn’t you say?”

That left Percy speechless.

Right–there weren’t that many princes and princesses in the world. Didn’t everyone have to move forward step by step?

Percy had also climbed up steadily, step by step, to reach his current position.

He’d just been standing at the top for so long that he’d forgotten he’d also climbed up from the bottom.

He laughed awkwardly. “Ms. Forbes is right. Hard work never goes to waster

Louisa smiled and said nothing more.

The 36th floor arrived.

She walked out with her back straight.

She believed that status was an insurmountable chasm between people.

But so what?

Things she couldn’t have, she could choose not to want.
