The Secret Scoop Chapter 1

I like Xavier Vance, this is a secret.

Because he and my sister Chloe are Childhood Sweethearts.

Since childhood, the two grandfathers set an Arranged Marriage Pact for them.

I thought I hid my little crush unknowingly.

But Chloe accidentally discovered my secret diary.

"Zoe, are you crazy? He is your future brother-in-law."

"How can you be so shameless?"

That year, I actively applied for a school out of state.

Packed up and moved out of the house, never went back.

I thought I would never have any interaction with Xavier again in this life.

Until tracking a news story.

I was besieged by a group of mysterious bodyguards in a hotel.

"Watch the fire exits and elevator exits.

"Search every room!"

...

Hearing rushed footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.

My entire back was soaked with sweat from nervousness.

Last week, a junior reporter from our network, just because he interviewed a person involved.

Was put in a sack in the underground garage and had three ribs broken.

"Hello hello."

Assistant Mia's anxious voice came from the earpiece.

"What to do Zoe, how about I call the police first."

"You absolutely cannot have any mishaps, I'm scared."

I wiped cold sweat, looked at the suite terrace direction, gritted teeth and pried out the SD Card.

"Don't worry, I have a way to hide."

Just the moment I climbed over the terrace glass fence.

The sound of key card swiping came from the door.

Several bodyguards in black suits quickly rushed into the room.

"Where is the person?"

"This is the top floor, impossible to run away."

Watching the voices getting closer and closer.

I stuffed the SD card into my mouth, dived headfirst into the open-air pool next door.

Just swam a few steps, head suddenly hit a "wall".

I grabbed randomly twice, then suddenly realized the touch was not right.

Why is there a person in the water?

Water rippled, I didn't see the person's face clearly.

But now can't care so much.

I bowed twice to him in the water, silently said.

"Please, save me."

In the moment of crisis, that person just slightly stunned, then calmly surfaced.

Then a big hand quickly wrapped around my neck.

Pressed my long hair floating on the water surface down.

Afraid of uncontrollably floating up.

I could only rudely hug that person's hard waist tight.

I couldn't hear what they said clearly.

Could only feel the hard abs in front of me scraping my face with every sentence he spoke.

Don't know exactly how long passed.

Before I felt my lungs were about to completely explode in the next second.

That big hand wrapped again, fished me out of the water.
