The sun is bright as I wake up. My head hurts as if a giant stomped his feet on it and I find myself gazing at a handsome face. As I groan in pain, I realise that this is the first time in a month that I have been able to sleep without nightmares. The feeling of being wrapped in these arms is not bad. I lie there, reluctant to get up and leave his arms. It's fine for me to sleep for a while more. Closing my eyes, I snuggle into his chest again.  ***  Panda King has never felt more on edge than he is feeling now. Pretending to be asleep when she woke up, he had closed his eyes but he felt her stir within his embrace and his heart beat erratically.  After a month of not seeing or hearing from her, Tin Gold has lost weight and looks more lifeless. He has never seen her without the light in her soft brown eyes like she is now. As hi

Some of the office women still give me flirty looks when I follow Panda King to the company. As usual, I smile and nod at them awkwardly.  "Pan, you have a meeting in two hours." I read aloud from his schedule. "What is it about?" He asks, sitting in his office chair behind his desk. "A meeting about the construction of the new mall which..." I stop as he holds up his hand. "That's enough. Help me sort through these documents Tin." He says in his authoritative "work" voice.  I stare at the huge pile of files and papers piled up on his desk.  "All these?" "Yes. Is there a problem?" He asks with a raised eyebrow. "You're helping me right?" I say. There is no way I will be able to get all these edited and handed to him by the end of the day. "Of course not. I am sorting out the documen

Keeping Ciarra Lake away proves to be more difficult than I had thought it would be when I confidently made the promise to Panda King.   I overhear Mrs King and Ciarra speaking in quiet voices in the kitchen. They must be planning something. Ciarra hasn't spoken to me at all.   It has already been two days since they came and I have done my best to be a fishbone stuck in her throat. Pan has been making sure that I am always within an arms length of wherever he is. I have answered for him when she asks questions, blocked off her advances towards him and basically been the third wheel.   Mrs King seems to support her to the fullest. So much so that it has not stopped Ciarra from trying to seduce Pan when she thinks I am not in sight.   Pan was so frightened that he has been camping inside my room at night in case she comes for him in the dark.    Is this the true Ciarra Lake?

As I come to terms with my predicament during my days at Hans', I realise that maybe this is a sign and also the right time to try and get over my feelings for Panda King.   Hans brought me my mobile phone from home and the first thing I did was block Panda's number. I should get over him. My feelings won't go anywhere.   I stare at my pathetic pale face in the mirror. How many days has it been? I know I am being a coward but I lost something which I had believed to be precious to me.   "Tina, come and eat." Hans calls from the other side of the door.   "I'm coming." I say and open the door. I have lost my appetite these past days and I don't know if I will be able to eat today.   "Don't force yourself if you can't." Hans says gently, bringing the spaghetti to the dining table. "I'll make porridge for you later."   I smile. He is truly my guardian ang

Everything is adding up. I remember now. Ciarra Lake came over to the King mansion with Mrs King. Mrs King wasn't hiding the fact that she very much wanted Ciarra to become her daughter-in-law and even used "curing Panda's phobia" as an excuse to bring them closer. Ciarra stayed over for two days, using every opportunity she could find to stick close to Panda. Panda wanted me to block her advances and I obediently did. Then that day, she was getting really close to Panda and offered him some champagne she had brought over. Panda looked uncomfortable and I saved him by barging into the room and snatching the glass from him. I bravely drank the wine, planning to finish it all but Panda took it back from me before I could and finished the rest of it for some reason. The only possible answer here is that Ciarra Lake intentionally spiked the drink. But did she want to drug Panda? Why? I can't think of her
