Chapter 565 Let Me Take You Home
Nowadays, Josiah didn’t want to spend even a second with Tiffany. Hence, he had subconsciously stepped on the gas as soon as they started off. However, after hearing Lysander’s words, he saw the logic and immediately slowed down the car.

moment Lysander turned around, the atmosphere in the car had shifted.
Josiah’s attention was almost entirely focused on her at that moment, so naturally, he wouldn’t miss a thing.
Lysander didn’t really care whether she had been found out or not. She simply asserted, “I saw that Tiffany still hasn’t left. Is there a problem?”
“It’s nothing.” Josiah added nonchalantly. “There’s nothing between her and me, no romantic entanglement whatsoever. Back then, Lysanne was quite troublesome, and I feared her madness might harm you. But Tiffany is, after all, the heiress of Riveron Corporation, so Lysanne wouldn’t dare to harm her. I just wanted to deter Lysanne…”
Lysander’s reaction was even more nonchalant than his. “That’s your personal business; there’s no need to specifically inform me.”
Josiah was at a loss for words, so he decided to change the subject. “Since you’re not interested in discussing personal matters, let’s talk business instead. You’ve already met the people from Thorne Constructions and Energies who can lend you a hand. When do you plan to make your appearance at the company?”
Ever since he handed over the reins of management to Lysander, Thorne Constructions and Energies had been leaderless for a while.
If things continued this way, it was inevitable that people would become restless.
Lysander recalled the restless marketing department manager and made a decision. “Soon. Although those. four today promised not to spread rumors, it’s impossible to keep such matters hidden. The employees of Thorne Constructions and Energies probably already know that a new CEO is about to be parachuted in.
Josiah was very aware of this and expressed his agreement, “Yes, it’s better to handle such matters sooner rather than later. It’s important that all the employees in the company know that Thorne Constructions and Energies is under your management from now on.”
As he spoke, he abruptly pulled the car over without any warning.
Holding her cat, Lysander asked with a hint of confusion, “Do you have anything else you need to take
care of?”
This place was seemingly in the middle of nowhere, with no village in sight or shops around. She was curious to see what Josiah planned to do.
Josiah gave a nod of acknowledgment. In front of Lysander, he casually made a phone call to Carol. It was unclear what the other party reported to him. Initially, he only responded with a few nonchalant hums. It was only later that he gave instructions for a specific task.

After saying that, he promptly hung up the phone, not uttering even a single superfluous word.
Lysander’s curiosity about matters related to Josialt was not particularly strong. However, upon hearing about the urgent timeline of next Monday, she couldn’t help but ask, “What do you have planned for the day after tomorrow?”
The car was parked under a lush tree at the side of the road. The glow from the streetlight filtered through the leaves, casting a dappled pattern on the windshield and softening Josiah’s stern features.
“Didn’t you agree to make your appearance at Thorne Constructions and Energies as soon as possible? The company holds a management meeting every Monday. At that time, board members and major shareholders from the company will be present. It’s the best opportunity for you to make your debut.”
So this was what he said he needed to do. His efficiency is truly impressive.
Lysander didn’t regret the words she had spoken earlier. She simply nodded, her expression unchanged, and said, “All right. I understand. Thank you for arranging this.”
Josiah had grown accustomed to her indifferent attitude toward him. He reminded her, “Hospitals also have the habit of holding meetings, so you shouldn’t find it unfamiliar. However, this meeting is a bit different. You’re not just a participant but the leader of the meeting.”
“I know, I’m already the CEO.” Lysander had mentally prepared herself well in advance and accepted her new role without any issues. She even calmly added, “Besides, this day was bound to come sooner or later. Wrapping up things here sooner will allow me to return to my medical practice.”
The Ragdoll kitten was quite comfortable nestled in her arms. Even though it didn’t understand what she was saying, it still gave a supportive meow in response.
The sound was sweet and utterly adorable.
Josiah’s gaze softened as he casually suggested, “If you’re feeling nervous, you can start preparing now.”
Lysander nonchalantly scratched the chin of the kitten, as if nothing was amiss.
“I’ll prepare diligently, but I’m not so worried about this minor issue. After all, it’s not like I haven’t conducted major lectures for interns before.”
It was merely a routine meeting. If she couldn’t even handle such a trivial matter, then her seven years in medical school and subsequent specialized training would have been a complete waste.
Every field had its experts, and Josiah truly knew little about this. He nodded and said, “All right, you’ve always been very reliable.”
He should have heard about these matters concerning Lysander much earlier, but in the past, he wouldn’t even pause for a moment to engage in trivial small talk with her..
The car was enveloped in silence, so profound that even the sound of each other’s breath was distinctly audible.
Lysander hadn’t given much thought to all these trivial things. She glanced at her phone screen and casually asked, “Isn’t this place quite close to home? How about you drop me off at the next intersection? I won’t be going back to the resort.”
It was getting late. Even with a car, the journey to the resort would take at least another forty minutes.

Lysander was exhausted to the core, feeling that instead of wasting more time with him, it would be better to take the kitten and go back home.
Josiah, however, saw right through her thoughts and took the initiative to suggest, “Let me take you home.”
Having been figured out by Josiah, Lysander simply responded, “All right.”
Their residences were separated by a wall, and unlike a hotel, he couldn’t just walk into her home as if it was unoccupied. After all, it was a residential area and he didn’t have a key to her place.
With that said, going home was far better than staying at the resort.
After parking the car, Josiah took the initiative and picked up the cat carrier. He didn’t give Lysander a chance to walk ahead, so she had no choice but to join him in the elevator. As they stepped out at the same time, she spoke up. “These things aren’t heavy. I can carry them myself”
The kitten was tiny, so she could easily free up a hand to carry the stuff to the front door without any issues.
Josiah remained unfazed, stating, “I’ll handle it.”
After having been busy all day, a little more time didn’t really matter.
Josiah swiftly walked ahead, carrying the items, and stopped in front of his own unit. He said, “You probably haven’t been home in about two weeks, right? You’ll have to clean up again. Why don’t you rest at my place first? Martha comes over to clean every day.”
Lysander shook her head. “There’s not much furniture at my place, so cleaning up will be quick.”
Josiah suddenly felt a bit helpless. “You’re still on your period, aren’t you? I genuinely just want you to rest. properly. There’s no need for you to be so wary of me.”
Lysander answered at a leisurely pace, “I didn’t get to rest properly when I had a fever.”
Josiah had no response to that.
