julian saw Louisa’s dazed appearance and sighed silently. “If you’re not feeling well, you don’t need to go to the branch office today. Stay home and rest,”
His main reason for bringing her on this trip was for the summit.
Louisa’s capabilities far exceeded Teddy’s.
Everything Teddy could do, Louisa could do.
What Louisa could do, Teddy couldn’t.
As for branch office matters, Julian hadn’t planned to have Louisa expend so much energy anyway. He’d just wanted to give her a chance to get out, clear her head, and relax.
Who knew Louisa would hastily say, ‘No, I’m fine.”
Julian couldn’t help but smile. Alright. I’ll head out first. Take your time, no rush.”
After speaking, he left and closed the bedroom door behind him.
Louisa breathed a sigh of relief and sat up in bed.
The thin blanket slipped off her body. She looked down at her completely naked form, her head buzzing… Had they made love last night?
That didn’t seem right.
Every time they did it, she’d be sore and weak all over the next day.
She didn’t feel that way now.
They probably hadn’t.
But if they hadn’t, why would she be sleeping naked with him?
Wait.
He’d mentioned something about her insisting on taking a bath last night…
She tried hard to recall what had happened…
Turned out, not remembering would have been better.

Could the just die right here?
How was the supposed to face Julian?
How was the supposed to face her colleagues at the branch office?
When Julian suggested the take the day off, why hadn’t she taken it?
Louisa stared at the ceiling in despair. Ten minutes later, suddenly, inspiration struck.
She had it.
She’d just pretend to have amnesia.
After all, selective memory loss after drinking was perfectly normal.
As long as she acted like nothing happened, as long as she wasn’t embarrassed, everyone else would be the embarrassed ones.
Right. That’s what she’d do.
She quickly adjusted her mental state, got up, and headed to the bathroom.
During the washing process, her mindset gradually returned to calm.
But when she entered the walk–in closet to change, seeing the clothes Julian had prepared for her, she wanted to lose it again.
The outer clothes were fine–a haute couture dress, very normal.
The killer was her underwear.
Probably not knowing what color she’d choose, he’d brought over all her underwear and arranged it neatly by color gradient.
She could even picture him standing here, carefully organizing everything.
Unbidden, scenes from last night’s bath flooded her mind–her constantly asking him to wash her thoroughly, even grabbing his hand to

She was being it again.
Louisa’s fare turned as red as a ripe autumn apple.
A long time passed before she finally seemed to accept this reality. With a ‘might as well embrace it attitude, she looked at the garderwear. “Whatever. It’s not like were strangers. We’ve done everything in the heat of the moment. Whats there to be afraid of?

Louisa went downstairs.
Julian, Teddy, and Noah were all still sitting in the dining room.
Today she was the last one out, yet somehow everyone was the most put–together.
Julian had already finished breakfast and was looking at documents on a tablet.
Teddy was still eating.
Noah was gaming while eating.
Louisa greeted them.
Noah simultaneously turned to look at her, their expressions carrying an indescribable strangeness.
also lifted his eyes toward her, a faint, almost imperceptible smile at the corners of his lips.
Louisa’s face reddened as she quickly headed to the kitchen to get food.
This breakfast at least passed in silent peace.
At nine o’clock, they set out for the branch office.
When they left, the weather was sunny and pleasant. Halfway there, a fine misty rain began to fall..
Louisa turned to look out the window.
Gravenford’s weather was truly unpredictable–sunny one moment, rainy the next.
The rain–misted streets took on a romantic air.

In the distance, fog blurred everything except the outline of a church, creating a dreamlike, mysterious tableau.
In all her days in Gravenford, this was the first time she’d thought that rain… actually wasn’t so bad.
She didn’t hate rainy days as much anymore.
