Chapter 503 Gaze At The Moon Separately
However, once they returned to the room, Josiah did not utter a single word about the topic anymore.
As they passed through the lobby, the receptionist trotted over to him and handed him a folder. “Mr. Guerra, Ms. Collins had someone deliver this.”
Murmuring an acknowledgment, Josiah took it from her.
“Information on Thorne Constructions and Energies?” Lysander asked.
“Personnel files.”
Lysander raised an eyebrow. “Aren’t you going to talk to me about the business and major clients first?”
“Business is secured by the marketing department, and the major clients are maintained by the customer service department. What you need to do now is to manage these people who work for the company.” Josiah explained.
“Oh, I see.”
Josiah added, “Guerra Group has dozens, if not hundreds, subsidiaries spanning diverse industries. Do you think I understand every single one of them? I’m not God.”
The elevator doors slid open. Lysander stepped in first, followed by Josiah, who then pressed the button for their floor.
“We’ll start tomorrow. Rest first tonight.”
Lysander gave a slight nod. “Still up for moongazing?”
A glimmer of surprise and delight flashed across Josiah’s eyes.
After the interruption by Lysanne’s bottle of water soluble electrolyte powder earlier, he thought that she would give him the cold shoulder again for a while.
Unexpectedly, she brought up the matter of moongazing herself.
A slight warmth sparked to life in his chest. “Is it okay?”
The elevator doors slid open. Lysander was the first to step out. Josiah followed behind her with small steps, all smiles. “Shall we head to the rooftop, then? I’ll go and grab you a thicker jacket.”
In the midst of their conversation, Lysander had already unlocked the door to her room and stepped in.
At the same time, she stretched out a hand and blocked the doorway, stopping Josiah from entering.
Josiah was puzzled. “Lysander?”
“Go back.”
Josiah grew even more confused, asking, “Didn’t you say we were going to go moongazing?”
“Look here. Since I’ve agreed to your term for l

“But most women have to wear it at the workplace,” Lysander argued.
“You’re different from them. You’ll be the top executive at Thorne Constructions and Energies in the future. Who would dare criticize you?”
“No one in the company would say anything, but I’d have to go out to attend social events and interact with people, right?”
Josiah didn’t even lift his eyes. “If anyone dares to gossip about you, let me know directly.”
That left Lysander without a retort.
“Does this salve hurt?”
Lysander shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt, but you’re using a bit too much force.”
“Then, I’ll be gentler.”
“Josiah.”
“Hmm?”
“You still want to get back together with me?”
Josiah’s first response was a fleeting glance as he lifted his gaze. His eyes held a hint of a smile that didn’t quite reach their depths. Then came his slightly hoarse reply. “But you wouldn’t agree.”
Lysander lowered her eyes in tacit agreement.

Josiah tactfully added, “I’ve mentioned something similar numerous times, but regardless of whether I was direct or subtle, you always turned me down. So, I figured you probably wouldn’t agree even if I were to bring it up again. In fact, it might push you further away.”

“What about now, then? Let’s go.”
“Let’s go back to our rooms and gaze at the moon separately,” said Lysander.
Josiali’s brows furrowed slightly. “What I meant was to gaze at it with me.”
“You didn’t specify we had to gaze at it together face–to–face. Don’t worry. I will definitely gaze at it.”
Words eluded Josiali.
How could I have forgotten? She’s a tough one who once left Whisper to Aiden as a means of contact.
Josiah pondered for a moment. He crossed his arms, a slight smirk on his lips. “We can put the moongazing matter aside for now. Shall we talk about Daphne? Aiden just gave me a call. He said Daphne asked him for help.”
“What did Daphne ask him to help with?”
Josiah frowned. “It seems she wanted him to help her investigate someone’s background.”
“I heard it’s a capable PhD student in material science. Oh yes, I think he even spoke at the summit this time. He can be considered a rising star. Plus, he’s quite handsome. However, it seems his family background is not that great. He came from an impoverished family,” Josiah answered.
A look of contemplation showed on Lysander’s face, and she was seemingly analyzing the truthfulness of
With a jerk of his chin at the room, Josiah suggested, “Shall we discuss the details inside?”
Finally, Josiah broke into a smile and strode in on his long legs.
Upon entering, the first thing that caught his eye was an opened bag beside the luggage.
Among the bags, one was visibly opened. He turned and looked at Lysander, who was approaching after closing the door.
Sure enough, she looks stunning in this outfit. But…
Josiah took another look at those shopping bags. Carol delivered quite a number of clothes, but there were seemingly no shoes.
However, it was clear that she was still not quite used to them. She walked straight to the couch and sat down, massaging her calves and ankles with her hands.
With the other, he helped her remove her high heels and set them aside just as he had done during those few days in Apex City.
At his silence, Lysander retracted her foot. “Josiah!”
“Aiden reviewed his life history from childhood to adulthood. Despite coming from an impoverished background, he always excelled academically and morally. There have never been any negative rumors about his character. However, perhaps due to a lack of interest, he has never been in a single romantic relationship at nearly thirty, devoting himself entirely to his work.

Update pls~...
Why no update ???...
Chapters 692 693 ans 694 are impossible to read. Not sure if there was an issue with translation.but the words do not make sense..impossible to follow story line...
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
