Chapter 600 I Only Admire The Strong

When Lysander returned to her office, her expression noticeably off. She sat pondering whether to inform Josiah about the current situation.

His recent flamboyant performance during the executive meeting had ignited a wave of speculation. Should these murmurs escalate, Guerra Group would have to devise a rapid response plan to mitigate any potential public relations fallout.

Monica, observing the subtle change in Lysander’s demeanor, carefully placed the neatly arranged files on her desk and inquired with a tone of concern, “Ms. Thorne, is something troubling you? You appeared quite composed just before you stepped out.”

It was only then that Lysander realized she had automatically navigated back to her desk. She swept her hair back, summoning a faint smile. “Oh, it’s nothing serious… Just caught up in some thoughts about recent events.

The swirling rumors within the company were not issues that could be simply talked away.

Monica seemed to intuitively grasp the undercurrents, nodding with an understanding look. “Did you happen to overhear some of the staff discussing your role? Even though today marks my first day at Thorne Constructions and Energies, it’s clear that wherever there are people, disagreements inevitably arise. This was also true at the branch offices of Guerra Group.”

Lysander gave a weary smile and said, “It was indeed just idle talk,” hoping the matter would dissipate on its own, though feeling somewhat resigned that there might not be any other immediate solution.

To many at the company, she was viewed as merely a figurehead, wielding nominal power that wasn’t genuinely hers.

Seeking refuge in her work, Lysander flipped open the file on her desk, attempting to distract herself from the invasive thoughts.

Monica, empathizing with her strain, brought over a steaming cup of tea, offering both the beverage and some words of solace. “Ms. Thorne, since these are merely rumors, there’s no need to weigh your heart down with them. Tomorrow is another day, and concentrating on your responsibilities is what truly matters. Mr. Guerra once shared a piece of advice that seems fitting now.”

“What is it?”

“You can’t stop everyone from talking. Rather than expending energy fretting over gossip, it’s better to focus on your tasks and let your achievements speak for themselves.”

Nodding thoughtfully, Lysander agreed, “You’re right.”
