Husband and Female Co-worker

Husband and Female Co-worker
Am I being over-reactive and insecure? My husband has developed a close friendship with a female co-worker (who also is my neighbor). They did 2 hour lunches once a week for months until her husband walked in her office and found her on my husband's lap. My husband claimed that she slipped and fell on to him while he was seated in her chair. I believed him.
I told him I was uncomfortable about their friendship and asked him to end it. A few months later, I did some snooping and caught him in a few lies. The lunches and friendship continued.
He was upset with me that I gave him an ultimatum. I have asked him one more time, for the sake of our marriage, to end all breaks, lunches, and communication with her telling him it wasn't an ultimatum but a re-commitment to me and our marriage. (They work in different departments.)
He is hesitating on re-committing to me. Am I being over-reactive and insecure? In my book, if they are lying and sneaking around, there must be something to hide.
Thank you!
Bring back the joy and passion to your marriage
