Chapter 563 Relying On His Authority

Lysander decisively shook her head. “The scenery in the mountains is far more appealing”

Naturally, Josiah agreed with her suggestion. “All right, let’s go back.”

He instinctively picked up the cat carrier and other personal items. Lysander, carrying the cat, led the way. He followed her at a steady pace, keeping a step behind and matching her stride as they leisurely made their way out.

From the private dining room to the entrance of the restaurant, one had to cross a corridor adjacent to the pond. In such a serene setting. Josiah deliberately slowed his pace and asked, “They were discussing a lot of matters related to Thorne Constructions and Energies just now. If there’s anything you don’t understand, feel free to ask me.”

“Thanks,” Lysander responded, showing no intention of asking any questions. However, she quickly changed the subject. “But next time we need to meet, just arrange it for me, please. I’ll handle the rest. I don’t really enjoy relying on someone else’s authority.”

Those four individuals might indeed be somewhat capable, but they were completely under the control of Josiah, and it seemed that there was no chance of change.

If Lysander wanted to stabilize Thorne Constructions and Energies, she couldn’t solely rely on Josiah’s authority,

Josiah understood her intentions, his eyes dimming as he glanced at the shadow on the ground and said, “All right, I understand.”

They left the private restaurant in silence, not exchanging a single word along the way.

Josiah stood under the bright streetlight before he spoke again. “Wait here for a moment. I’ll bring the car around.”

The underground parking lot was situated in the nearby business district and required a bit of a walk from

here.

Cats tended to get stressed in crowded environments. Lysander gently stroked the fur of the Ragdoll kitten in her arms and responded, “Okay.”

Josiah left swiftly.

Under the glow of the streetlamp, Lysander stood holding the kitten while observing their shadows on the ground.

Lysander was unsure if all Ragdoll cats were naturally good–tempered, but this kitten calmly allowed her to hold it. Raising its head to look at her, its light blue eyes shone with a gentle glow. It was truly endearing.

She wasn’t certain if it was just her imagination, but she always felt that this kitten bore a striking resemblance to Nieva’s little daughter.
