�Mr. Stuart, Lei�s obviously making a joke. There�s nothing between us. Please don�t harm the innocent�� Skylar laughed nervously, desperately trying to get himself out of this mess.

Everyone knew that Xavier was targeting Leia, and anyone who got in his way would surely be in trouble.

Skylar couldn�t afford to pay the price of snatching away a big shot�s woman.

�Lei, I�m begging you. Please have mercy on me and write another letter,� Skylar begged as he shoved the letter back into Leia�s hands.

�You�re breaking my heart here, Skylar. I�m not messing with you. You were the Roacross Champion, and my heart raced when I saw you win that swimming match. Plus, the crew asked us to find someone we had taken a fancy to, so I didn�t do anything wrong,� Leia explained seriously.

It wasn�t a lie-she really did find Skylar mesmerizing when she watched his match, and she did admire him.

�Well, I can�t argue with that.� Skylar scratched his head awkwardly and sighed.

�I just did my best. If you like, I can take you swimming in the sea.�

�Sure! Let�s go snorkeling in front of my villa early tomorrow morning, okay?�

�Alright. You don�t have to worry about drowning since I�ll be there to protect you,� Skylar said with a confident grin.

�Yeah, it�ll be great having a merman like you around,� Leia said teasingly.

They started talking to each other like old friends, and it was clear to everyone there that the two got along well.

�Ahem!� Xavier didn�t see Skylar as a threat, but got jealous when he saw Leia happily chatting with Skylar.

Skylar immediately cleared his throat and said politely, �I�m sorry, Lei, I like someone else. Please pick another person.�

�It�s okay, we�re still in the process of choosing the person we like. Your crush can join us for snorkeling, I won�t mind,� Leia explained with a smile. She found Skylar very cute, so it was easy to flirt with him.

Besides, he was the safest bet since it wouldn�t complicate things with Santiago and Xavier.

�Really? Miss Osborne, you don�t mind going snorkeling with my crush and I tomorrow morning?� Skylar looked at Leia and asked innocently

�Of course not! I�m a generous person, you know. We�ll be a good trio,� Leia remarked mischievously. statement would make people hate her, but that was just how she was-outspoken and fun-loving.

�Okay, it�s a promise. We�ll go snorkeling as a group tomorrow. You�ll go, right?�

�Don�t worry, I�ll be there. I�ll be single forever if I don�t go.� Leia raised three fingers and vowed solemnly. JrNovels.com
