Winnie spoke to him on the way, but he pretended not to hear her.
Of course, she did not have any important topic to discuss, so she kept quiet when the man did not respond to her.
Winnie silently sat in the back seat, scrolling the news on her phone.
The Newly Appointed Female CEO Of Garland Group Was Arrested At The Northern District’s International Airport For Possessing Illegal Drugs.
Arrested For Possessing Illegal Drugs. The Reputation Of The Newly Appointed Female CEO Of Garland Group Is Destroyed Before She Could Even Solidify Her Standing!
The Female CEO Of Garland Group Was Arrested. Two Days ago, She Held The Fiftieth-anniversary Celebration Of The Garland Family In A High-Profile Manner, Yet She Was Arrested For Drug Use In The Blink Of An Eye. Is Such A Person Worthy Of Trust?
Quickly swiping through those fake news, Winnie was more amused the more she read it.
The other party wants to ruin my reputation by using such cheap tricks. Are they too confident or too stupid?
As for the articles written under the exaggerated headlines, Winnie did not bother to read them.
After a while, she received calls from Christopher, Nathaniel, and the assistant Jasmine.
They also saw the news and called in to inquire about the situation.
Nathaniel and Jasmine did not know about Yulissa’s matter, so Winnie did not tell them much. She managed to fool them with a selective and simple explanation.
As for Christopher, he knew about the drug, and he wanted to help Winnie clarify.
However, Winnie knew he was swamped with work and did not want to take up too much of his time, so she refused.
Besides, she had not forgotten how Xavier was jealous of Josiah. If Xavier knew that Winnie had sought Christopher’s help instead of him, he would probably be even more jealous and act up.
After dealing with those calls, Winnie closed her eyes to rest.
When Josiah drove the car into the underground parking garage of Fairchild Corporation, Winnie still had not woken up.
Along the way, Josiah was quite conflicted internally.
He did not think he had any unusual feelings for Winnie before, but after pondering it earlier, he was in for a surprise himself.
Josiah regretted that he asked himself that question.
If I blur the boundaries like before, it won’t be as awkward as it is now. Yes, just act like the way I used to be and treat her as Dumbo. I like to tease her because she’s interesting; she can attract the people around her naturally.
With that, Josiah quickly convinced himself.
He suppressed the slight restlessness in his heart and used the same teasing tone as before.
“We’re here. Did you really take me as a driver? Do I have to go down and open the door for you personally?” joked Josiah, but he noticed how silent it was at the back of the car.
Subconsciously, he turned his head and breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing Winnie was just asleep.
“Wake up, Dumbo. We’re here.”
Winnie had been too tired recently, so it was easy for her to fall into a deep sleep. A word or two could not wake her up at all.
If not for the fact that Winnie still had intractable issues to solve, Josiah even planned to drive the car to a quiet place with nice air to let her get enough sleep.
Obviously, now was not a good time.
Josiah’s eyes stayed on Winnie’s face for a few seconds. Then, he undid his seatbelt, opened the driver’s door, and got out.
