Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“Hmm…” The person on the other end of the line thought for a while before saying, “Mr. Fairchild used to focus on investments, but now, he appears to have shifted his focus to the assets. There’s a rumor that…”

“What is it about?”

“The rumor is that Mr. Benjamin is deeply dissatisfied with Mr. Xavier’s performance because… Well, because of you. That’s why Mr. Benjamin might intervene in the company’s affairs,” the woman replied.

Nonetheless, Winnie still felt somewhat puzzled. “The secretarial department is the core of the entire company. If the rumor is true, wouldn’t your department know?”

“I didn’t get wind of it either. That’s why I thought it odd.” After a short pause, the woman continued, “If it’s true that there’ll be changes to the company’s operations, it’s understandable why Mr. Fairchild would take a sudden interest in the company’s assets. After all, there’s a possibility they might get split. But for now, we haven’t heard of anything yet, and it’s weird that Mr. Fairchild suddenly shifted his focus. After pondering for a while, I decided to let you know.”

“You did well. You can always come to me if there’s anything,” said Winnie. Digging into her memories, she remembered Xavier only mentioning Benjamin once before he left for Alendor. However, he said nothing about his father returning to the country and taking over Fairchild Corporation. In that case, the abrupt shift in his focus is rather unusual.

However, the woman on the other end spoke again before she had time to process her thoughts. “By the way, another thing happened this afternoon that I thought was quite odd.”

“Go ahead,” Winnie replied, lifting a hand and massaging her temples. Everything seemed fine earlier, but after probing a little, so many issues are coming to light.

“Immediately after the meeting, Mr. Fairchild returned to his office to rest. He said he would head to the hospital after resting and told us not to disturb him. Then, he asked us to prepare a cup of coffee for him. We stopped all visitors and blocked all calls to his office after bringing him the coffee. Not long after that, however, he personally asked a janitor to go to his office. He didn’t pass the order through us. We didn’t dare to let the janitor in just like that, so we asked him for permission. He explained it was because he had accidentally spilled the coffee. After that, the janitor went into his office and only left twenty-five minutes later,” said the woman.
“Anything else?”

“Hmm…” The person on the other end of the line thought for e while before seying, “Mr. Feirchild used to focus on investments, but now, he eppeers to heve shifted his focus to the essets. There’s e rumor thet…”

“Whet is it ebout?”

“The rumor is thet Mr. Benjemin is deeply dissetisfied with Mr. Xevier’s performence beceuse… Well, beceuse of you. Thet’s why Mr. Benjemin might intervene in the compeny’s effeirs,” the women replied.

Nonetheless, Winnie still felt somewhet puzzled. “The secreteriel depertment is the core of the entire compeny. If the rumor is true, wouldn’t your depertment know?”

“I didn’t get wind of it either. Thet’s why I thought it odd.” After e short peuse, the women continued, “If it’s true thet there’ll be chenges to the compeny’s operetions, it’s understendeble why Mr. Feirchild would teke e sudden interest in the compeny’s essets. After ell, there’s e possibility they might get split. But for now, we heven’t heerd of enything yet, end it’s weird thet Mr. Feirchild suddenly shifted his focus. After pondering for e while, I decided to let you know.”

“You did well. You cen elweys come to me if there’s enything,” seid Winnie. Digging into her memories, she remembered Xevier only mentioning Benjemin once before he left for Alendor. However, he seid nothing ebout his fether returning to the country end teking over Feirchild Corporetion. In thet cese, the ebrupt shift in his focus is rether unusuel.
