Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

Xavier, who had been listening intently, fumed with anger.

That’s all just a load of nonsense! I shouldn’t take their words to heart!

Alas, despite telling himself to hold back, Xavier lost control and kicked the door of the pantry open.

Upon hearing the loud bang, the two employees in the pantry turned ashen-faced and reeled in shock.

“M-Mr. Fairchild, we were only joking. We didn’t mean what we said! All we did was repeat what other netizens commented.”

“Get out! You’re both fired!” Xavier shouted. He believed he had exercised enough self-restraint, but his cold-eyed stare still sent chills down their spines.

“M-Mr. Fairchild…” the employee uttered, trying his best to salvage the situation. “I honestly didn’t mean what I said earlier. Could you please give me another chance?”

Unfortunately, that only riled Xavier up even more. “I will not repeat myself. Get out! The company will give you your severance pay, but I want you out of my sight before I kick you out myself!”

When they saw Xavier’s eyes turning red with rage, the two employees knew it was their cue to leave.

Given that they had struck their boss’ nerve, what other choice did they have but to flee for their lives?

As soon as the two gossipmongers were gone, Xavier suddenly felt his heart race.

The more he thought about it, the more he realized the heart palpitations could be a side effect of the new medicine that Riley had formulated for him.

Well, this medicine sure is effective. Even when I lost my temper earlier, I could feel that I’d gotten a better grip on my emotions. At the very least, I didn’t fall into a manic state or lose my sanity.

That said, the side effects of the medicine had kicked in, and the pain was so excruciating that Xavier could no longer stand upright.

He leaned against the wall and sat down, trying everything he could to calm his anxious heart.

The moment Louis came over and saw the pale-faced Xavier sitting on the ground, he, too, instantly turned white as a sheet.

“Are you okay, Mr. Fairchild?”

Xavier had slowly lifted his head when he heard footsteps approaching, but as soon as Louis’ voice rang out, his eyes glazed over with disappointment.

When he finally saw Louis, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly to himself.

Ha! What a fool I am! Why did I even think it’d be Dumbo showing up?

Since Xavier refused to go to the hospital, Louis had no choice but to have Josiah make a trip down.

Sometime later, in the lounge of Xavier’s office, Josiah felt his anger rising when his friend made little effort to cooperate with him.

After sucking in a deep breath, he turned to Louis. “Why don’t you head out first? I’ll call you if the need arises.”
