You Are The Trouble I'm In
Chapter 1 Do I Need To Step In
The plane steadily rolled down the strip, slowly coming to a halt. At the gate, there were already a swarm of reporters waiting, all holding a camera or microphone of some sort. Passersby stopped to take a look at the commotion, thinking that maybe a big star was about to step out of the plane. They craned their necks and stood on their toes, eager to see who it possibly could be.
A group of people wearing black suits first came out -- they were most probably privately hired bodyguards. After which, a small, dainty figure wearing white appeared. Huge, tinted sunglasses covered nearly half of her face. The reporters clamored around her, flashing their cameras and trying to get their microphones as close to her as possible.
"Miss Armani, are the rumors true about you and your fiance?"
"Can you confirm that Mr. Ben, CEO of the MING Group, cheated on you with your sister nearly two weeks ago?"
"Miss Armani! What will happen to your wedding? Will you be cancelling the engagement?"
"What happens now, Miss Armani? Will the XU Group and the MING Group continue to work together despite this unexpected setback? Will this affect how the next round of directors to be chosen for the XU Group?"
"Our sources say that your sister and Mr. Ben grew up together. Could it be possible that you are the reason why the relationship between two very prominent families has been completely destroyed? What do you have to say about all of this, Miss. Armani?"
All the voices of the reporters overlapped with each other as they threw one blunt question after the other.
The bodyguards tried their best to keep everyone a safe distance from her petite figure. Despite the uproar, the woman kept her calm.
Bystanders were quick to realize that woman who had just gotten off the plane was Armani Xu, CEO of the XU Group.
Armani Xu had been on the headlines of countless tabloids, newspapers and magazines over the past few days. It all started when the photos of Ben Ming surfaced, showing that he was kissing Armani Xu's sister in a hotel elevator.
To make matters worse, Ben Ming came forward to make a public statement, saying that Armani Xu had actually been the mistress all this time and that she was the one who came in between his relationship with Jessie Xu
