At first Daniel hates Tina, but he learns to accept her a little bit after seeing how much she has to struggle in Hong Kong. She has helped him quite a bit also. So Daniel is really nice to her, because he feels guilty about wanting to fire her. However, when Tina uses him to trick her father, he gets very angry. Tina claims Daniel as her boyfriend so she wouldn't have to marry. Daniel's girlfriend, Rachel, finds out and takes it the wrong way.

However, Tina found herself falling for him too!

Tina ends up deciding to give him back to Rachel explaining what happened. But Daniel regained his memory by himself and when he found Rachel, Tina was insulted yet once again and was left heartbroken.
