Fearing she would get impatient and drive him away, Josiah swiftly changed the topic, focusing on business matters instead. “The project has also been advertised on the tendering website, but since it’s related to construction, the company that will ultimately win the competitive tendering is likely to be one we’ve worked with before. Thorne Constructions and Energies still has a chance. Give it a try and don’t lose heart.”

“All right, sure.”

Lysander was fully engrossed in her work, while Josiah stood behind her, arms crossed, keeping her company.

Whenever he noticed an issue with the plan she was drafting on her screen, he would offer a suggestion. Other than that, he mostly kept silent to avoid disturbing her.

Unbeknownst to them, it had already gotten late at night.

Josiah voluntarily returned next door. Before leaving, he said, “I’m going to sleep next door tonight. You should rest well.”

Lysander neither agreed nor disagreed with it. She simply said. “Thank you.”

The following morning. Lysander woke up bright and early. Her complexion was decent enough, so she didn’t waste any more time primping. After changing her clothes, she showed up in the conference room half an hour ahead of schedule.

Today’s regular meeting was somewhat different from the one on Monday. It wasn’t necessary for the entire executive team to be present. Mostly, it was the upper and middle management from various departments who made an appearance.

Among those who had helped Lysander smooth things over, the shareholders only received dividends and did not participate in the daily management of the company. They were just among those non- participating members. Therefore, the battle today would only be more challenging than yesterday’s.

Even so, Lysander remained composed, seizing every precious moment as she sat at her desk, continuing to familiarize herself with the proposal on her computer.

The conference room gradually filled with people.

Most people, upon seeing Lysander arrive so early, paused to give her a glance before taking their seats. They didn’t even offer her a greeting.

Even though Lysander noticed that, she chose to act as if she hadn’t.

This was not the time to nitpick over such matters.

The meeting was scheduled for nine in the morning. At ten minutes to eight, Rowan arrived. There was a hint of hostility in his approach as he greeted Lysander, “You’re quite early today, Ms. Thorne.”

“Thank you.” Lysander replied, deliberately ignoring his sarcastic tone.

Feeling embarrassed, Rowan abruptly sat down in his chair.
