His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 562

Chapter 562 Selective Hearing

A thought flickered in Josiah’s mind before his gaze subtly shifted back to Lysander. She was leisurely perusing the menu in front of her, seemingly oblivious to his words.

Clearly, she had no intention of continuing the conversation.

Immediately, Josiah straightened up and corrected, “In the future at the company, you should address her as Ms. Thorne.”

Only then did Lysander stop flipping through the menu, taking over the conversation. “You all are older than me and are my seniors. In the company, you may address me as ‘Ms. Thorne‘ due to my position, but outside of work, you can simply call me by my name, Lysander.”

Upon hearing that, all four guests shared an unspoken amusement and laughed.

So,you didn’t catch what was said just now, but you heard this one clearly?

But seeing Josiah’s behavior today, no one dared to address Lysander by her name directly.

“Understood, Ms. Thorne, please forgive us. We were a bit too quick to speak out of turn. However, addressing you by your first name seems rather disrespectful. We should stick to calling you Ms. Thorne.”

“That’s right. We’ll change how we address you when the time comes, if necessary.”

Lysander’s expression remained unchanged, she still appeared calm and composed. However, her tone abruptly turned cold as she softly interrupted, “No need to correct yourself. Let’s leave it at that.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell into a silence so deep it was unnerving.

All four pairs of eyes were simultaneously drawn to Josiah, worried that their attempts to flatter him had backfired disastrously.

Could it be that the woman who managed to have such sway over Josiah wasn’t even going to be the future. Mrs. Guerra? Their curiosity about Lysander’s background was insatiable, yet they didn’t dare to ask outright.

With an especially exasperated expression, Josiah reluctantly said, “Fine, just do as Ms. Thorne suggests.”

Upon hearing this, the four of them promptly adjusted their manner of addressing Lysander.
