Julian watched Louisa’s smile, knowing she’d seen through it but chose not to expose him, so she pretended nothing was wrong.

He wanted to explain clearly, but couldn’t say it–he truly couldn’t bring her to that business association.

When lunch ended, they prepared to return to the villa.

On the way to the parking lot, Julian walked ahead.

Louisa and Teddy followed leisurely behind.

The whole way, she kept her head down, following silently without making a sound, like someone who didn’t exist at all.

But as she walked, a wall suddenly appeared in front of her.

She crashed into it without warning.

Looking up, she collided with Julian’s deep, helpless gaze.

“Why did you stop so suddenly?” she muttered.

“If I hadn’t stopped, you would’ve crashed into the car.”

Louisa glanced behind him. Sure enough, the car was right there.

And Teddy had long since disappeared from her side.

She apologized. “Sorry, I wasn’t paying attention.”

As she spoke, she tried to step back.

Julian didn’t let go. The arm around her waist even tightened, pulling her against his chest.

He looked down at her. “It really is just an ordinary business exchange meeting.”

Louisa nodded. “I believe you.”

Her tone was light, as if devoid of any emotion.

But Julian knew–she was shutting him out again.

He was silent for a moment before asking, “Do you want to come with me?”

Louisa felt he clearly didn’t want to bring her, yet still asked,

She looked up at him with a smile. “No. You’re being so considerate of your subordinate, letting me rest at home. How could I disappoint

my boss’s good intentions?”

Julian fell silent.

Back to boss and subordinate again.

That unacknowledged boyfriend–girlfriend status seemed like it could cease to exist at any moment.

But right now, there didn’t seem to be a better solution.

He could only explain to her again later.

The arm around her waist tightened, then slowly loosened as he said softly, “Be safe on the way back tomorrow. I’ll return the day after

tomorrow evening. Just one day late, very quick.”

Louisa nodded indifferently. “It’s fine. You can stay as long as you want. It’s your call.”

As if she didn’t care about him at all.

Julian gazed at her for a long time without letting go or speaking.

She really didn’t care about him that much, did she?

Louisa felt stifled under his gaze. She simply wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled his head down a bit, and kissed his lips.

After all, they were together because of physical desire, right?

When there was time, might as well seize the moment. Why think about so many troubling things?

Julian seemed to sense her thoughts. After kissing her fiercely, he pressed her against the car and thoroughly tasted her lips and tongue,

inside and out.

He kissed her until her legs went weak.

On the way back, she leaned limply against the seat back and took the opportunity to ask for leave.

Since he was being so considerate, she might as well be “exhausted” to the end–she wouldn’t attend this afternoon’s winery reception

either.

Julian went with Teddy.

Chapter 449

In the evening, only she and Noah had dinner at the villa.

She didn’t know when Julian and Teddy would return, and she didn’t ask.

She planned to finish eating quickly and return to her room to rest. Who cared when he came back?

But halfway through dinner, the doorbell rang.

Louisa’s first thought: Could Teresa be back?

Teresa had been quiet for several days without bothering her, making Louisa wonder if Teresa’s phone had been confiscated and she’d

actually been placed under house arrest.

Noah put down his knife and fork. “I’ll get it.”

He was perpetually energetic.

Energetic enough to throw someone out with one hand, even if it was Teresa.

Louisa ignored him and continued eating.
