Zi Mei was standing outside the principal's office waiting for the handsome CEO, Thorin Loong, to come out. He knew her full name. He felt so familiar. He fills an empty space within her. Yet, he is a total stranger. She has to know what is his connection to her.
After about 30 minutes of waiting, the tall handsome stranger strolled out of the office, looking dashing and debonair like a male model on a runway.
He stopped short when he saw her standing there.
"Lil Zi," he uttered in surprise.
There it is. He called her Lil Zi, a nickname so familiar to her, it felt like she has heard it a million times over. It brought up warm cozy feelings and a strong sense of deja vu.
"I need to know, have we met before?" she blurted out before realising that what she had uttered sounded like a very lame pickup line.
He merely raised an eyebrow and looked at her enigmatically.
She cleared her throat uncomfortably.
