The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 602 Josiah Treats Lysander Differently

Finished

“Perhaps it was because they noticed the sear on your arm, the one left behind from the burn wounds last time.”

Josiah understood what she meant. “Let them talk. Let’s go. Get in the car.”

Lysander maintained her politeness and said, “We’re not headed in the same direction today. I’m planning to visit the Thome manor.”

Josiah remained expressionless and nodded. “That’s fine. I should visit my mother anyway. It’s still on the

way.”

Lysander didn’t bother to think if he had changed his plans on a whim and responded coolly, “My new driver reported for duty today.”

“Today’s her first day. She probably needs to get familiar with the company car. Besides, since I’m already here, driving two cars just adds to the emissions. With the country’s focus on energy saving and emission reduction, as good citizens of Harborbrook, we should do what we can.”

As Josiah spoke, he instinctively reached out to take her bag, as he had outside the meeting room before. But she subtly sidestepped him and emerged from behind the partition, evading his gesture calmly.

Josiah had long grown accustomed to Lysander’s aloofness in public. He quickly withdrew his hand that was hanging in mid–air, sparing himself any potential embarrassment.

Seeing that he was determined to give her a ride, Lysander lowered her head and quickly walked to the parking space by the roadside to avoid further public scrutiny.

Josiah followed her.

The receptionists, who were initially engrossed in discussing why Josiah had come to the company, all widened their eyes as they watched. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

Josiah could have easily caught up with Lysander if he wanted to, as he was tall and had long legs. However, instead of insisting on walking with her, he went ahead and opened the door to the passenger seat, making a gentlemanly gesture for her to get in.

This spectacle left the employees in the lobby dumbfounded, each one doubting their own eyes. They were all ordinary staff members in the company, not like the executives who attended the meeting and had personally witnessed how Josiah was extraordinarily protective of Lysander. Their worldview was completely overturned.

Only after Lysander got into the car and Josiah returned to the driver’s seat, dutifully acting as her chauffeur, did someone finally speak, albeit shakily. “This is even more outrageous than the rumors. I heard before that Mr. Guerra treats Lysander differently, even going as far as to carry her bag for her. I didn’t believe it at the time.”

“This is more than just carrying her bag. Did you see what Mr. Guerra did? He personally opened the car

door for her!”

“Even his fiancée wouldn’t get this treatment. I heard that Mr. Guerra left Ms. Lanister for her. Seems it might be true…”
