at the Northern District airport to appear in the same photo with me.Winnie fiddled with her phone. Heh! Since he’s paying so much attention to me, I’ll allow him to do so much more effortlessly!Putting away her phone, she looked at Louis right across from her. “Inform the media and change this press conference to a live broadcast.”At once, Louis frowned. “A live broadcast? But Mrs. Fairchild, companies generally take the route of pre-recording when hosting such a press conference. On top of that, both the script and footage then have to be reviewed and authorized by the PR department before they can be uploaded to the internet.”“Why, did Fairchild Corporation once suffer a catastrophe during a press conference?” Winnie chuckled softly.“No. It’s just a precaution.”In response, Winnie nodded “I see. It was my mistake earlier for not having made things clear. Conduct Fairchild Corporation’s part as per the usual practice, then make it a live broadcast for my subsequent segment. This won’t put you in a difficult position, yes?”“Um… I think I’d better ask Mr. Xavier for permission first,” Louis replied hesitantly.A frown marred Winnie’s countenance, and she subconsciously drummed her fingers on the couch. But in no time, the furrow of her brows eased.“Okay. You can do so when he comes out.” She then glanced at the time before adding, “They’ve gone in for some time, so they should be coming out anytime now.” Having said that, she stood up and headed toward the lounge.Just when she was about to lift her hand and knock on the door, Josiah happened to open the door and walk out.“You gave me a fright!” Josiah exclaimed.Winnie directed her gaze beyond his shoulder to the lounge within. “Right back at you. Where’s Xavier? Why don’t I see him?”Used to wearing a white coat, Josiah made to stick his hands in his coat pockets out of habit.As soon as he did so, he realized that he only had a shirt on right then. Left with no other choice, he could only place his hands into his pants pockets.He didn’t behave thus in the past, but he was inexorably jittery at the sight of Winnie in recent days.He took a deep breath to calm himself down before explaining, “I gave him some cholinesterase inhibitor. He’s doing better and is washing his face with cold water inside.”Frowning, Winnie questioned, “Does that cholinesterase inhibitor you mentioned have any side effects?”Josiah nudged his glasses. “It varies from individual to individual. Some will indeed develop adverse effects after taking it, such as insomnia, dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting, muscle cramps, and the like. Yet, some remain unaffected. But you don’t need to worry, for I’ll keep watch over him around the clock these few days.”“Okay. I’ll go and look in on him, then. The press conference is about to begin.”In the bathroom, Xavier was washing his face in front of the mirror.He wasn’t all that gentle with himself. After splashing water onto his face, a large portion of his hair scattered across his forehead got wet and stuck to his skin in clumps.That aside, a few droplets of
