The display screen was evenly divided into four sections, three of which were occupied by blond–haired, blue–eyed foreigners. Among them was a lady of considerable age.

Josiah wasn’t just making an international call. It was as if he was conducting a multinational conference.

Lysander paused by the side of the sofa, momentarily uncertain whether or not to tell him to leave.

At first glance, Josial’s posture remained as upright as ever. However, a faint shadow of fatigue lingered beneath his eyes, and a subtle weariness was etched between his brows, only noticeable upon closer inspection.

Due to the time difference between domestic and international locations, it was indeed most suitable for Josiah to hold meetings with the overseas branch office during the night. However, if he hadn’t spent most of his daytime hours and energy helping her suppress the unstable factors within Thorne Constructions and Energies, he wouldn’t have ended up so exhausted.

Lysander had once shared a significant part of her life with him. Even if she was reluctant, she couldn’t ignore his exhaustion at that moment.

Josiah was truly incredibly exhausted.

Suddenly, Lysander felt an urge to act as if nothing had happened and return to her bedroom to continue sleeping. However, before she could make a move, one of the participants on the screen dramatically opened their mouth in surprise, prompting a similar reaction from the others.

Feeling more fatigued than usual, Josiah’s thoughts were running a beat behind. However, upon noticing the reactions of others, he still lifted his gaze to look around.

Thud!

Josiah gently closed the laptop and swiftly removed his Bluetooth earphone, his expression somewhat unnatural as he turned to face Lysander.

Clearing his throat, he asked her in Ecronese, “Why are you up? Did I wake you?”

His complexion turned slightly pale, a hint of guilt subtly apparent.

Lysander shook her head. “I was just a little startled.”

After experiencing a home burglary, it was only natural for her to feel scared,

Josiah settled back onto the couch, reopening his laptop to rejoin the online meeting. Slipping on his Bluetooth headset, he gracefully apologized to the group he’d left waiting, “My apologies; I had ant
