After the competition gets over Lily went to washroom to clean her face. As she enters she hear someone's cry. She follow the voice of crying. At the corner a woman is sitting with her head down. Lily move forward to see the face of that woman. She place her hand on her shoulder "Are you OK"
The woman shriek she hurriedly wipe out her tears. Lily got the clear picture of that woman. It's Jasmine her face is covered with ugly bruise as if someone punch her jaw. Lily gasp seeing the bruise "Jasmine ....what happened ...who hit you"
Jasmine stand up with the weak smile "No one Lily ...I just fall down" and turns to leave avoiding her eyes.
Lily hold her hand "Jasmine stop lying I know you didn't fell down ...tell me Jasmine who did it?"
Jasmine struggle to free her hand from Lily "I said it Lily no one ....stop with your interrogation" Jasmine snap.
Lily sign "Jasmine you are my friend ...you don't want to tell me. ..it's OK ...but let me tell you one thing... attacker are at fault but the more at fault is the victim who endure..... the more you endure the more that person get the courage to hurt you... so Jasmine ....Speak Out." with that Lily loosen her grip on Jasmine hand.
Jasmine look at Lily for some minutes and retrieve her hand back. Jasmine turns and left the washroom. Lily look at the disappearing figure of Jasmine.
Lily did her business and left the washroom. Suddenly someone from behind hold Lily and push her to wall. Lily eyes become fierce looking at the culprit "you.....how dare you leave me"
Leonard chuckle "So feisty ....I like it"
Lily narrow her eyes "Do you know this is harassment and I can sue you for that" she snapped at him. An irritation running inside her looking at Leonard smirk.
Leonard on the hand is completely enjoying seeing her struggle to break free. For him she is like a cat who is clawing at her master to get away from him. He move his face near her left ear "Tsk tsk Lily ...sue me then ....you could try.... but let me tell you one thing this city is run by me. Wherever you go you will find me Lily by the way I wont mind being handcuff by you and you in sexy lingerie waiting for me" Leonard huskily said.
Lily face flushed hearing him she again struggle to break away from him "You are not not only arrogant but a big time pervert" she throw daggers at him with her eyes "What it will take you to leave me"
Leonard grin at her "Compensation"
"Competition for what !" Lily exclaim
"Tsk...tsk did you forgot what you did to me at the club" suddenly his eyes sharpen "you should be glad that I taken interest in you ....or else"
"Or else what" Lily said narrowing her eyes. She couldn't believe there will be a day she will be in such a situation.
Leonard become expressionless "Or else your body will be lying somewhere, where you in your wildest dream could think of"
Lily freeze hearing his death tone ..... "You!!"
