Zi Mei's cell phone is broken beyond repair and not working. She couldn't find her waller where all her cash, bank cards and identity card are. Since she doesn't have a landline phone at home, she decided to walk over to Darren's to ask for his help. When she opened her door, the handsome CEO, Thorin Loong, was standing outside.

"What are you doing here?" she had asked in surprise. He is the last person she had expected to be there. Not after the embarrassing debacle she made of herself. Also, how does he know where she lives?

"I am sorry to intrude, I believe this is yours," Thorin Loong held out her wallet. It took her a moment to register that he was holding her wallet.

She quickly went out to him and took her wallet. Immediately his strong masculine scent with a hint of mint assailed her. It filled her with a strong longing and it was all she could do to stop herself from hugging him, yet again.

What is wrong with her?

"Oh, thank you! I was searching for it everywhere," she said instead and quickly take a step back, away from him, away from temptation. Up close, he is even more gorgeous. His skin was silky smooth and his eyes are so dreamy, she could literally drown in them. Her pulse are racing yet again.

"You dropped it on campus after confronting me at the principal's office, you should be more careful with your belongings," he said coolly. "Well then, Miss Tan, take care," he turned around to walk away. It was then that she noticed a sleek black car waiting for him by the roadside.

"So, what sort of interns are your company looking for?" she called out, before she could stop herself.

Dammit. What is she doing? She has no interest of becoming an intern! She wanted to concentrate fully on her studies. He stopped in his tracks and he turned around to look at her. He studied her with his cool dark eyes that glinted mysteriously. She was certain she could see a glimmer of silver flash within.

"Interns? So you plan to apply after all?" he asked. She couldn't trust herself to say anything so she merely nodded.

He sighed and pushed a lock of hair that had fallen on his temple back. Zi Mei would have sighed too, at the distracting gorgeousness of him doing that except she managed to control herself.

"Fine. Since I am in a good mood, you are hired. Please don't tell the rest of your other friends about this, I don't want other college girls throwing themselves at me nilly willy," he said.

Against her better judgement, her body seem to have a mind of its own as once again, it ran to him and threw itself against him in a hug. Again. He was surprised and this time, both his hands came up to hold her waist but he did not push her away. The same feelings of familiarity, deja vu and warmth assailed her.

She is home. She belonged here, she thought as she wrapped her arms around his large frame. He felt so firm, so warm and SO familiar. She rested her head on his chest and was transported to a feeling of timelessness. A sudden image of an English rose garden came to mind. She didn't know how long she held on to him but it took a while for her to register him clearing his throat and calling her name.

"Ahem. Miss Tan? Can you release me now?" he was saying. His hands around her waist are now trying to pry her apart from him. She quickly released him and stepped back, blushing a deep red. Again.

"I am so sorry Mr Loong…I was just so excited about the internship!" she lied. She knows deep in her heart that it was not the internship. It was this strange compulsion she had whenever she sees him.

Is this what people meant when they talk about love at first sight? This strange magnetic draw that one has for a total stranger?

As they stood looking at each other, a woman stepped out of the car. She has smooth creamy alabaster skin, large almond-shaped eyes, a high aquiline nose, rosebud lips and a narrow oval face. A classic beauty. She looked to be in her 30s. She walked over to Thorin Loong and looked down her nose at Zi Mei.

"Darling, who is this? Why is she throwing herself on you like that?" she asked haughtily.

Thorin Loong cleared his throat. "She's my new intern, she is just happy she got the internship," he said. The woman's eye widened in surprise.

"Internship? Are you sure that's a good idea?" she asked.

"Jessica, don't meddle in my business," he told her brusquely. He turned to Zi Mei. "Your internship starts next week so stop by your college's office for the documents and details tomorrow,"

Then, he and the gorgeous woman turned around and walked to the waiting car. He got into the car on one side while she went over to the other side to get in. Zi Mei stared after the car as it drove off.

She wondered who the gorgeous woman, he called her Jessica, is. Is she a girlfriend? She had called him 'Darling'. It could either be a term of endearment or simply just a way she addressed people.

She will have to google Thorin Loong and Jessica once she gets her new cell phone and is back home alone. She is glad that at least she got her wallet back. She no longer needs to call the banks to cancel the cards. It would have been such a hassle. She turned to lock her door and went on her way to the mall. It is but a short bus ride away.

When she reached the bus stop, she saw Darren arriving on the other side of the road. She waved to him but he didn't seem to notice her. Instead, he was talking on his cell phone animatedly. She wondered who he is talking to. Maybe it was his date from last night?

She watched him as he walked jauntily down the road. It looked like he was heading to her house. Why is he going to her house? To check on her? She decided to follow him. She will jump on him and give him a scare when he reaches her house.

He talked on his phone all the way to her house. Then he hang up and looked at her house. She was getting ready to run up to him and jump on him when he did the strangest thing.

He started sniffing the air. Like a hound dog sniffing for things. He began sniffing everywhere and walked around as he sniffed. Then he stopped at her front door and sniffed. He started knocking on her door. She decided to wait a while longer. He is behaving so strange and so unlike Darren, she wanted to see what he does next. He knocked on the door again. Then he placed his ears on the door, as if to try to listen to any movements inside. She quickly hid behind a lamppost.

What he did next made her skin crawl and goosebumps raced down her arms. She shivered as fear enveloped her.

That is definitely NOT Darren.
