The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 561 Provide Support And Protection

Lysander was preoccupied, not really hearing his words. She absentmindedly cradled the kitten in her arms and returned to the table, continuing to go through the documents.

Just like the day before, Josiah brewed a cup of honey lemon tea for her and then quietly went about his own business.

In such a tranquil environment, it still took Lysander a good while to forget the name on the color Doppler ultrasound film and fully immerse herself in her work.

She had made up her mind to forget about the incident, acting as if she had seen nothing. At that moment, aside from taking over Thorne Constructions and Energies, everything else was irrelevant to her.

If Tiffany were to pull any more stunts in the future, she would just roll with the punches.

By afternoon, Josiah glanced at his wristwatch and said, “It’s about time. I’ll introduce you to a few people. We can also grab dinner while we’re out. No matter how good the chef here is, it can get tiresome eating the same food all the time.”

Lysander wasn’t in the mood. Without even lifting her head, she said, “You go ahead. I’ll just head to the private restaurant for dinner later.”

Wanting to keep Lysander in suspense, Josiah asked, “Don’t you want to know who I’m taking you to meet?”

Without any hesitation, Lysander said, “No.”

If it were truly a person of such importance that they must meet, Josiah would have said so himself. There was no need for her to ask further unnecessarily.

Lysander had no interest whatsoever in playing along with Josiah’s schemes.

The Ragdoll kitten had comfortably nestled in her arms, even gracing her with a few meows in acknowledgment.

Josiah noticed that the pet he gifted Lysander to cheer her up had surpassed his own status. However, he was at a loss for what to do and could only play it by ear. He continued with the main topic by saying, “It’s several key members of Thorne Constructions and Energies. No amount of personnel files can replace meeting them in person.”

Lysander calmly finished jotting down the last few notes before she stood up and said, “I’ll go change my clothes first.”

Josiah then picked up the Ragdoll kitten and watched Lysander return to her bedroom. After that, he fetched the cat carrier and packed it with a few essential pet supplies. By the time he had finished these preparations, she had also changed her clothes and emerged from the room.
