Howard felt slightly concerned, yet he was afraid that asking too much might annoy Lysander. As such, he struck up a random conversation with her. “Lysa, are the others from the company here as well? If there’s a need, I can go and greet them.”

He was, after all, the chairman with the most shares in Thorne Constructions and Energies. Intimidating a few unsettled executives wasn’t an issue for him.
