The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 578 Utter Nonsense.

Lysander turned away. “Yes, but I feel like I’m dispensable.”

“Lysander, this world is results–oriented. As long as the final outcome is good, all previous proposals are visionary, and all reforms are forward–thinking. As long as you are sure it’s the right thing to do, just wait for time to provide the answers. When the company’s financial report for next quarter comes out, these people will naturally be silenced.”

Lysander bit her lip, remaining silent.

Josiah looked at her stubborn little face and felt his heart soften. “Okay, let’s go. We’ll have our meal first.”

Lysander took the opportunity to push him away slightly. “It’s a public place, keep your distance.”

“But after we go home, it’s a private setting. Can I be closer then?”

The two whispered to each other. Everyone in the conference room witnessed it, especially Rowan and Herbert sitting closest to them.

Rowan was a bit confused and asked Herbert in a low voice, “Mr. Castillo, Mr. Guerra just said they’re not siblings, but now they seem quite close. What’s going on?”

Herbert, being younger, had already figured it out.

He pushed his glasses up and snorted. “Who knows.”

Rowan’s anger flared up again, and he raised his voice to question, “Ms. Thorne, there are dozens of u here. If everyone waits for you for half an hour, that’s dozens of hours wasted. Are we all supposed to wait for you to finish eating? We’re all hungry here!”

His words made sense to Lysander, so she nodded. “Let’s continue the meeting.”

“Let’s eat while we continue the meeting.” Josiah intervened. “Everyone, feel free to speak up. Since I’m here today, I can also listen in.”

As he spoke, he opened the lunchbox, laying out the dishes one by one.

Then he took out Lysander’s cutlery and handed them to her. “Eat, it won’t delay the meeting.”

Lysander was caught in a predicament.

Eating in the conference room?

She wasn’t foolish.

The company’s regulations clearly stated that even when no meetings were in session, food was not allowed in the conference room. Let alone now, when the most crucial management meeting was taking place!

“Eat. Why aren’t you eating?” Seeing her not taking the fork, Josiah held it in his own hand and picked up a piece of sauteed spinach, offering it to her lips. “Do you want me to feed you?”
