"ARE YOU FREE FOR A TREAT?."

At Greenville company, Jasmine was on her way downstairs to the lower floor of the company. She was holding a pile of documents under her right arm. She bumped into someone unknowingly, as the documents fell to the ground,scattering all over the place.

Jasmine bent down, trying to pick up those documents. The man in front of her, tried helping her out with the documents. Their heads hit against each other and she was forced to look up to get a glimpse of his face.

"Liam?." She asked surprisedly.

"Ohhh... I'm really sorry for the mess which I've created for you." He apologized to her dearly.

Jasmine stood upright, while Liam gathered all the documents on the ground, handing it over to her. She thanked him, about leaving but he stopped her immediately.

"What do you want this time?". She asked him, raising her brows up.

"Will you be free in the next hour?". He asked her.

"Yes I'll be free. Can I help you with anything?". She asked him.

Liam laughed out loud, shaking his head vigorously. Jasmine folded her arms, looking at his face. Liam was hiding something from her abd it was really freaking her out.

"You're getting me worried." She complained.

"I just want to know if you'll be free for treat." Liam opened up to her.

"No problem. Where are we meeting?". She asked him.

Liam swayed his phone infront of her, while Jasmine looked at him confused by the information he was trying to pass to her.

"What?". She asked him.

"I'll text you the location." Liam said to her, walking away.

Jasmine shook her head leaving as well. Delsa a cousin to the owner of the company also works at the company. She controls the production sector. She had seen Jasmine and Liam together earlier. She waited for Liam to leave first, before approaching Jasmine.

"Hey." She said from a distance.

Jasmine heard the whisper from the background, and she quickly turned her head backwards, trying to catch up with the voice. She saw a shadow of someone and immediately stood still.

Delsa showed up herself, while Jasmine heaved out a sigh of relief. Delsa walked up to her, looking at her pissingly.

"I saw you. What were you doing with him again?". She asked interrogatively.

"Delsa I'm not ready for your interview now. I've a work to attend to urgently." Jasmine said to her.

Jasmine walked away with a frown on her face, while Delsa was still standing, looking at her. Delsa was already having doubts and she was going to tell other of their friends that she saw Liam and Jasmine together again.

....

*An hour's later*

Jasmine was rounding up with some documents in her office, when her phone beeped twice. She picked it up to check and found out that Liam just sent her some messages.

Jasmine quickly checked her inbox and opened the message. She read them quietly to herself.

"Let us meet at the park next to the company."

Jasmine bulged out her eyes, quickly typing back. She wanted to refuse his request at first but she just had to delete the messages immediately.

She arranged the documents neatly on a shelf, before leaving her office with her hand bag.

She was automatically done for the day.

**United Kingdom (Birmingham)***

Hazel was with her best friend Yadah at Yadah's place. She was going through her phone's gallery. She took some pictures with Liam during the last year's Christmas. Her face was pale and her bestfriend obviously noticed that everything wasn't okay with her at all.

She was forced to ask her if everything was fine with her.

"You don't look happy at all." Yadah said to her.

"Oh me?". She asked, pretending like she was fine.

"There's nothing to pretend about now. You have been on your phone for over five minutes now and sometimes you smiled, while the other times you paled your face." Yadah told her what she noticed.

Hazel dropped her phone on top of the couch, looking at her best friend. She couldn't control her tears anymore and she just had to let them pour down freely. She was tired of pretending that everything was fine.

Yadah lended her shoulder to Hazel, while she rested on it and sobbed.

"It's really not easy for me at all. I miss him so much." Hazel opened up.

"You still haven't moved on from that beast?". Yadah asked her, getting pissed off by her comment.

Hazel nodded her, while Yadah stared at her face with a disgusted look. She used to be supportive of Hazel's innocent feelings towards Liam but not until she heard about how he broke her heart into pieces and toyed with it.

"The moment that you realize that you never meant anything to Liam, the better for you." Yadah said to her.

"Never!. Liam is not allowed to love any other person but me. I'll go to Goslow and be with him." Hazel shamelessly replied.

Yadah pushed her head away from her shoulder, while she gave Hazel a dead stare. Hazel wasn't ready to move on already and it was getting her best friend annoyed.

"You don't want to learn. I'll let you do whatever you want to do, but don't get me involved." Yadah said to her.

"I'm sorry, but this is just how much I love Liam." Hazel replied, wearing a sad face.

Liam was waiting for Jasmine to arrive at the park. He sat alone at a bench,watching other people. He has been sitting there for over six minutes.

"Liam." He heard his name from a distance.

Liam looked far beyond, trying to find who just called him by his name. He saw no one. It really seemed weird to him. At a point, he actually thought that Hazel was at Gosglow now to bother his life like she did in the past.

"Where's Jasmine?. I have been here for over several minutes and it's getting boring already." Liam complained.

" Ta-da!!! Jasmine is here." She exposed herself, standing behind the bench.

Liam was scared to hell for a minute and he gasped out of relief, after turning his head backwards to catch a glimpse of her.

Jasmine came forward, sitting down next to him on the bench.

"I was already thinking that you wouldn't make it." Liam said to her.

"Sorry for keeping you waiting." She apologized.

"You're slowly beginning to behave like Bianca." Liam said to her.

Jasmine wasn't expecting him to say that at all. She laughed out loud, denying the fact that he was trying to liken our behavior.

"Nah. Bianca is Bianca and I'm who I'm." She corrected him.

"I guess you miss her so much." Liam said to her.

"I miss my best friend every day. I don't even know the particular place she lives now." Jasmine replied him with a sad face.

Liam looked at her, wondering if she was telling a lie or she actually meant it this time. He decided to go over to an ice cream van to get some stick creams for the both of them.

He returned back in a jiffy with some ice creams and a bag of creamy popcorns.

"Wow, this is a handful. Thank you Liam." Jasmine appreciated his effort, collecting the ice cream from him.

"There's really no reason to be sad now. I'm sure Bianca also wants the best for you." He said to her, sitting down on the bench.

Jasmine looked at him with a smile on her face. Liam couldn't stop staring at her. He wasn't sure if he was getting closer to her because of me or because he was gradually liking her personality. He wasn't opportuned to bond with Jasmine in the past and she hated him so much back then.
