Chapter 152
“There’s no need for that.” Xavier noticed that the two were telling the same thing. Moreover, their
clothes were still neat. Hence, the doubts in his heart immediately dissipated.Xavier took the initiative
to pat Josiah’s shoulder. Frowning, he apologized, “I’m sorry. I was too nervous just now. You know that
she’s mentally challenged, right? That’s why she always gets bullied outside. She’s my woman, so I
hope that I can protect her well.”Josiah said, “It’s fine. I understand. But then, there’s something I feel
that you should know.”“What is it?”“She’s not mentally ill at all. Do you still not see it now?”Xavier
frowned. He nced at Winnie before looking at Josiah again. “Do you know what you’re talking
about? I remember you took the exam yourself when you were applying for your doctor’s license. Why
are you so unprofessional now?”Josiah was rendered speechless for a moment. “Fine. We can take it
slow. After all, there’s still plenty of time left.”“That’s true.” Winnie looked at Josiah. “Let’s do it step by
step.”After saying that, she turned to ask Xavier, “By the way, why are you here? Are you going
out?”“Yes.” Xavier held her hand, grabbing it tightly. “I nned to go and see you initially.”Winnie shot
him a nce. “Didn’t I ask you to stay in the office and wait for me?”“Are you telling me what to do
now? I’ve waited for you for quite some time, but you didn’t show up. Can’t I go out to find you?” Xavier
retorted.“Of course you can!” Winnie didn’t want to argue with him. “Hurry up and go up. I need your
company’s Public Rtions Department to help me with something.”With that said, the group of people
walked toward the elevator. Xavier held Winnie’s hand tightly throughout the time.While they were
walking, Winnie received a text message on her phone. She wanted to reply to the message, so she
withdrew her hand from Xavier’s to type her reply.Before she could finish replying, Xavier took over her
hand again.This time, he was no longer satisfied with holding her hand anymore. He interlocked his
fingers with hers.Moreover, he even lifted Winnie’s hand to nt a kiss on the back of her hand.If that
had happened in the past, Josiah would not feel anything even if he had had to watch the two flirt with
each other for a long time.However, now that he realized he had some feelings for Winnie, he started
finding it hard to look at how close the two were.“Hey, can you stop showing off? There are still two
single men here!”Xavier didn’t even take Josiah’s words seriously. “Just bear with it.”Josiah shoved
Xavier lightly, scolding, “You’re so cruel!”After walking into the elevator, Xavier pressed the button for
the first floor.Seeing that, Josiah nced at Xavier suspiciously. “What are you doing? Don’t tell me
that you’ve forgotten which floor your office is at.”Having said that, he reached out his hand, attempting
to press the button to the eighteenth floor.Nevertheless, Louis quickly stopped him in time. With a bright
smile, he said, “Dr. Houghton, Mr. Xavier knows what he’s doing.”“Really?” Josiah withdrew his
hand.However, he couldn’t help but nce at Winnie.The two exchanged nces for a second. Then,
Winnie shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know what Xavier was nning to do next.The
elevator was small. Moreover, the four of them were the only people inside. Naturally, Xavier noticed
the nonverbal interaction between Josiah and Winnie.Usually, he wouldn’t be bothered by such a thing.
He would also not interrogate any of them in front of everyone.Nevertheless, Xavier was feeling jealous
at the moment, so he was extra sensitive. Immediately, his face turned as dark as coal. “What are you
guys doing? How dare you guys flirt in front of me! Am I transparent to you?” Winnie was rendered
speechless.Josiah tried to exin, “Xavier, you’ve misunderstood us. I can exin to you.”“Exin?”
Xavier knitted his brows. “Do you know I treat you like my brother?”“I know. That’s why—”“Shut up!”
Winnie noticed that the two were going to start an argument, so she let out a sigh internally.Frowning,
she looked at Xavier. “It’s better for you to stop talking.”After saying that, she grabbed his tie and pulled
him closer to her. Then, she leaned forward and kissed him on his lips forcefully.Let’s see whether you
can still talk now! This guy is so relentless! How can he stop acting like this? I’ll show him what I can do
to stop him from talking!Seeing that, Louis was dumbfounded.Josiah quickly fell silent. Suddenly, he felt
an unexinable emotion stirring up within his heart. He was reluctant to watch them kiss any
longer.Just when Winnie was focusing on keeping Xavier’s mouth shut, the elevator door opened.They
had arrived at the first floor.Many reporters gathered outside the elevator at that moment. It turned out
that they were all waiting for the elevator.There had been a major change to the higher-ups of Fairchild
Corporation recently. Moreover, Stuart had lost all his power. Hence, Fairchild Corporation held a press
conference on purpose for that.The reporters who gathered outside the elevator at the moment were all
there for the press conference.In fact, the reporters were well aware that the Public Rtions
Department of Fairchild Corporation had spent a long time preparing for that press conference.Content provided by N?velDrama.Org.
Therefore, they knew there would not be any issues with the press conference.Unexpectedly, they
witnessed such a shocking scene while waiting for the elevator.What? The CEO of Fairchild
Corporation is kissing a woman in the elevator? Oh my goodness! How can they do this in public?Click!
Click! Click!In an instant, all the reporters lifted their cameras to start taking pictures of the people
inside the elevator.Initially, Winnie wanted to end the kiss quickly. However, Xavier kissed her more
aggressively when she was about to pull herself away, rendering them to end up in such an awkward
situation.Winnie couldn’t help but mumble to herself in her heart. I wasn’t aware there would be so
many reporters on the first floor…However, she had been through many uncountable trials and
tribtions in her life. Therefore, she knew how to stay calm in front of crowds and cameras well.The
next moment, Winnie took out her handkerchief casually and wiped the corner of her mouth. Then, she
wrapped one of her arms around Xavier’s while lifting another hand to wave at the reporters.The
reporters were rendered speechless. It turns out that this woman is Winnie Gand. No wonder she
looks so calm, as expected of the female CEO of Gand Group!However, some of the reporters
reacted quickly. They asked, “Greetings, Ms. Gand. There are rumors that you got detained in the
police station in Northern District as you were involved in drug smuggling. Do you have anything to say
about that?”Winnie curled her lips into a faint smirk. “If I really were detained in the police station, then
who’s the one standing in front of you guys now? Rumors stop with the wise. I hope you guys won’t get
led or fooled by those with ulterior motives.”“In that case, is the video on the inte true, Ms. Gand?
Did you really get sent to the police station?”Before Winnie could say anything, Xavier took a step
forward and shielded her.He nced at the reporter who asked that question with an icy-cold gaze.
Furthermore, he also exuded a terrifying, dangerous aura around him.Noticing Xavier’s gaze, the
reporter felt a chilling terror creeping over him. Just when he thought that Xavier was going to chase
him out, Xavier said with a solemn tone, “Please address her as Mrs. Fairchild. As for the video of my
wife on the inte, I’ll give you guys an answer during the press conferenceter. Now, please go to
the conference hall and wait patiently.”
