“Are you all right, Winnie?”

Christopher realized that the woman’s expression had changed when she saw Yulissa’s address.

“Did something happen?” he asked out of curiosity.

“It’s nothing,” Winnie replied, snapping back to reality. “By the way, since Yulissa gave you a lead, I suppose you don’t need the data on those logistics companies under Fairchild Corporation anymore, right?”

Christopher frowned at her question. “Do you really know nothing about this?”

A frown deeper than Christopher’s stitched on Winnie’s forehead.

“What do you mean by that? Am I supposed to know something?” she asked.

“I thought you knew everything, but it turns out Xavier didn’t fill you in on all the details,” Christopher answered. “He already passed me all the information yesterday. He’s the one who put me through to Yulissa, and I wouldn’t have met her if it were not for him.”

“What?” Winnie was confused. “That’s not what Louis told me, though. Xavier didn’t mention anything about this either. Besides, Yulissa and Zyon are in the same boat, so it doesn’t make sense for Xavier to let Yulissa know he faked his death. Are you sure that’s the case?”

“I’m certain,” Christopher confirmed. “Although I have no idea why he did that, I know where he’s coming from.”

“Really? I doubt he has any good intentions for doing something like this, though.”

Winnie felt slightly disappointed. Xavier and her had always communicated openly about Xavier’s apparent death and Fairchild Corporation’s drug involvement, so Winnie could not help but wonder what he was trying to play at when she found out Xavier had been doing so many things behind her back.

“What is he trying to achieve?” Winnie asked Christopher repeatedly with a frown.

“The whole thing is too dangerous, so Xavier doesn’t want you involved. That’s why he’s keeping you in the dark,” Christopher replied.
