Chapter 36
After Panda has made sure that my fever is down, we set off for home. It feels weird being driven around by Panda King himself. He has been acting on edge and jumpy since yesterday. I still don't know what has made him nervous.
I check my phone again for any messages from Ciarra but there is nothing. I just want to know if she is okay. I was actually planning to introduce Pan and Ciarra to each other but I guess I'll have to wait for another time.
"You've been checking your phone a lot." Pan says glancing sideways at me as he drives.
"I'm just wondering if Ciarra is alright." I confess.
He smirks, "Your girlfriend is fine. If she really cared about you, she would have contacted you."
"What's so funny?" I ask in irritation. Is he laughing at me?
"Nothing." He says and reverts back to his poker face as he drives.

Lying on my back, I stretch myself out on the bed. Home sweet home. I never thought I would ever call this huge mansion a "sweet home" but here I am."Tin." I hear Liana's soft voice from outside."Come in." I quickly sit up as she walks inside. She stares at me with concern in her blue eyes."Are you okay now Tin? Pan told me what happened." Her eyes water up and before I know it, she is in tears.Grabbing the box of tissues on my bedside table, I hold it out to her and pat the space next to me."I'm okay now. Don't worry. Sit down Liana." I say gently. She sniffles and sits next to me, her eyes still watering."I was so worried when Pan told me." She sobs into my chest.I glance down at her head. What should I do? I am still wearing my binder on my chest so I should be fine for now.Hesitantly, I bring my hand towar

Refusing to explain the kiss, I cry endlessly into Wade's arms. It feels nice to be comforted by someone like this. No wonder Liana came to me.As my brain reloads and my senses return, I understand the reason why I am upset. It sounds petty and childish but I know the reason Pan kissed me was to distract me and stop me arguing with him. It was foul play.On the other hand, my heart couldn't appreciate the kiss because I only now realise that there is something else I feel for Panda King.Something more than a business relationship, something deeper than friendship and something which is threatening to overcome my being.How did I end up having this feeling for none other than Panda King?!Tina Gold is in love with Panda King.The ridiculousness of this whole situation would have made me laugh on a normal day but after the kiss, I have realised th

TW: Cancer _____________________________ On the drive home, my mind has become a battleground. After discovering that it was Panda King who saved me that night from Theodore Emmet, a part of me feels warm and happy. However, the better part of me is still feeling angry with Pan. The mystery behind why I awoke naked still remains. I know that he didn't do anything to me but what exactly happened after I blanked out? "Tin, are you still angry at me?" Pan asks into the silence. I roll my eyes, "What do you think?" "I didn't mean to do it." He says apologetically. Switching the engine off, I step outside. The night air feels nice against my face. I stand there for a few minutes, smiling as the breeze grazes across me. "Tin, you know I didn't kiss you on purpose." Pan says from behind me. My face scrunches up in a
His Bodyguard Chapter 40
The next few days are hellish. I don't return to the King mansion. This nightmare feels too long. Mint and Dad seem to have become lifeless zombies but I am no different. We still haven't come to terms. The funeral is prepared in a blur and it's only the three of us who are present. I know we should invite Mum's friends but we aren't in a good state ourselves right now. Our eyes are bloodshot and we have dark circles from the sleepless nights. Dad is trying his best to stay strong for us but I know he is broken inside. We hang her photo up in the house as a memory. My eyes haven't been dry in days. We haven't eaten properly either. I do my best to cook something but none of us have any appetite. Panda King has rang me many times but I have ignored his calls and switched my phone off. Hans has been coming over every day to check up on us and take care o
His Bodyguard Chapter 41
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
His Bodyguard Chapter 42
As usual, Panda King corners me when I am least prepared.Ever since I returned, I've been spending any free time I have, cooking and doing random chores to keep my thoughts away.As I clean the chicken meat with the biggest kitchen knife, I hear his voice from behind me."Why have you been avoiding me?"I hack away as I answer without turning around, "I haven't.""So why have we not spoken properly in a week?""It doesn't bother me." I shrug as I continue slicing."Tin Gold!" He shouts into my ear and I jump, the huge knife still in my hand. His ocean eyes stare in horror at the knife. When did he come and stand next to me?"What?" I ask in boredom."C-can you put that away first?" He hasn't taken his eyes off the knife.I grin and put it aside. "Sorry Pan."
His Bodyguard Chapter 43
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
His Bodyguard Chapter 44
I groan as the doorbell rings and Panda King shouts at me to check who it is. Does he not have any mercy for an injured person?Stumbling off the sofa, I limp towards the front door. Slowly, I walk down the front driveway and open the front gates.I should have known when I accidentally broke that glass cup this morning that it was an ill omen.From the other side of the gates, the familiar dark haired Mrs King stares at me. Her brown eyes scrutinise me from head to toe making me feel nervous."Welcome Mrs King." I smile anxiously, gesturing for her to enter.She smiles at me but it doesn't reach her eyes. Is something wrong? My brain mentally assesses the situation and I realise what is wrong here.Last time Mr and Mrs King visited, I was a female with long hair and was the girlfriend of their only son. Now, I am "Tin" and probably look like a ma
