After saying that, Xavier shifted his nce away from the reporters.He put his arm around Winnie’s
shoulders and held her tightly.While all the cameras were pointed at them, they walked a full circle
toward Xavier’s VVIP elevator.In the elevator, Josiah questioned, “Did you purposely stop on the first
floor to show off Dumbo to those reporters? You already knew the reporters are there, right?”Furrowing
his brows, Xavier replied, “No. You’re wrong.”“Oh?”Hearing Xavier denying it, Josiah and Winnie
looked at Xavier with puzzled looks.If it’s not because of that, then what? Their curiosity was
piqued.Xavier did not like how simr Josiah and Winnie’s reactions were, and he got jealous.With that,
he tightened his arm around Winnie’s waist.“I went to show off Mrs. Fairchild,” he said to Josiah with
tightly knitted brows.He specifically emphasized on the words “Mrs. Fairchild.”Then, Xavier continued,
“Josiah, even though you’re my best friend, I will not allow you to call my wife ‘Dumbo.’ That is my
special nickname for her. It’s a pet name that we use when we get intimate. You shouldn’t chime in on
our affairs.”At his words, Winnie had the urge to spew blood.The first part of what Xavier said sounded
all right. Introducing one’s significant other in public was a way to show how much they respected and
cared for their beloved.However, when he suddenly talked about pet names and being intimate in such
a serious tone, she did not know how to react.Josiah, who heard Xavier’s words, was fluctuating
between being pale and being flushed.Clearing his throat, he responded, “Do you have to be so love-
struck? Fine, I won’t call her that anymore. Also, when did I ever chime in on your affairs? If the
reporters heard what you said, they’re going to drag me down for being a paramour!”Xavier furrowed
his brows as he questioned, “Paramour? You have that in mind?”Is he being serious? Did his
intelligence go down the drain?Truthfully, Josiah did feel a little bit guilty. Otherwise, he would not have
lost his cool.However, he knew that his best friend had no ill intentions; Xavier was just affected by the
drug.In a way, Xavier was a victim.Noticing how the atmosphere in the elevator was getting tenser,
Winnie decided to speak up.Looking at Josiah, she uttered, “We’re all best friends, but there’s a limit to
what we can joke about. The circumstances are a bit unique at the moment, so don’t mind
him.”“Understood,” Josiah replied with a nod.Feeling unhappy, Xavier raised Winnie’s chin. His dark
eyes exuded a strong sense of annoyance.“What are you doing, Dumbo? Why are you only consoling
him, not me? Am I notparable to a rascal like Josiah?”One by one, Winnie pried open Xavier’s
fingers from her chin. Chuckling wryly, she answered, “That’s because everything you said is correct.
There’s no need for constion if you don’t need one, right?”Satisfied by Winnie’s reply, Xavier proudly
said, “Heh, so you do know how to please me, after all. Very good. As expected from my
woman!”There he goes again, blurting out cringy CEO lines.Winnie calmed herself down. If Xavier was
not ill, she would have given him a strong punch. Soon, the elevator reached the eighteenth floor.
Winnie and Josiah could finally escape the suffocating atmosphere.This was not Josiah’s first time
coming to Xavier’s office. Hence, he was familiar with theyout.After exiting the elevator, he directly
headed left.On the other hand, Xavier and Winnie headed right.After everything that happened today,
Josiah did not feel like talking to Xavier anymore.He dragged Louis, who was behind Xavier and
Winnie, with him.Curious, Josiah asked, “Where is he going? Isn’t that the employee working area?
Aren’t we supposed to be heading to his office?”“That’s the senior executives working area,” Louis
exined. “Mr. Fairchild wants to introduce Mrs. Fairchild to everyone in Fairchild Corporation.”Josiah
grumbled, “How childish. Didn’t he do enough in front of the reporters just now? Once the articles are
out, everyone in the country would know they made out in the elevator. Everyone would know how
intimate they are with each other. Oh well, I’m not getting involved in this one. Tell him I’ll be waiting in
his office.”“All right. Do you want anything to drink? I’ll get a secretary to prepare it for you.”“No need.
You guys just be quick.”Louis nodded.A thought then came to his mind, and he uttered, “Dr. Houghton,
please don’t take to heart what Mr. Fairchild had said to you before. From what I can see, Mr. Fairchild
is just very sensitive when ites to matters regarding Mrs. Fairchild. He’s no different from usual
when dealing with work.”“Don’t worry. I don’t mind at all,” Josiah replied smilingly. “We’ve been best
friends for decades. I’m not going to be pissed just because of a few words.”I can only say that Xavier
is too obsessed with Dumbo now.In the meantime, after walking around in a circle, Winnie probably
knew every senior executive in Fairchild Corporation now, and she understood Xavier’s reason for
doing so.While on the way to Xavier’s office, Winnie had a discussion with the former.“When you n
to do something like this next time, you should discuss it with me first. I’m not mentally prepared at
all.”“What do you need to prepare?” The man frowned. “Whatever I give you, you can just take it. Just
like how…” he trailed off, leaning closer to Winnie. “Just like how you took itst night.”Winnie gritted
her teeth upon hearing that. Now’s not the time to be flirting!“Louis, bring me to his office now!” Winnie
shoved Xavier aside and walked straight ahead.By the time the three of them reached the office,
Josiah had already discovered some information.When he saw Winnie and Xavier, he hastily told them
what he discovered.“I surfed the web and went through some articles and videos. I’ve locked my sight
on a few sources. Among those, some ounts are quite influential. They have over a million
followers. If we begin our investigation from them, I’m sure we can find the mastermind.”Nodding,
Winnie said to Xavier, “Get your PR department to investigate. I know yourpany’s PR department
is proficient in this.”Xavier hummed in acknowledgment and immediately ordered Louis, “Do as she
says.”“Yes, Mr. Fairchild,” Louis answered before leaving to make the arrangements.At this time, Xavier
crossed his arms and looked at Josiah and Winnie with furrowed brows.“Now can you guys tell me
what happened at the airport?” he questioned.
