Trial Of Love Chapter 214 - A Dream

"Liz, this is Mr. Sanford." The host said escorting a young man towards her.

She just finished her performance and was bewildered to see the young man in front of her. He was handsome and tall, with a very charming smile on his face which could turn you head over heels for him.

"Mr. Sanford, a pleasure to meet you."

"Please call me Jay," He replied, as he reached over his hand to shake hands with her.

That evening, the two became acquainted with each other.

"This is my stop," She said as she was being walked home by the young man.

"You're a student here?" The young man surprisingly asked.

"Yeah, why?" She curiously inquired.

"I'm studying here as well but how come I never saw you?"

"What course?"

"Economics and Management," He responded and asked, "You?"

"PPE."

"I should ask you for help then for my economics studies." He smiled.

"Sure." The girl was fl.u.s.tered seeing the young man charming smile, her heart was skipping for him but she did not understand why.

That evening, she felt something she has not felt before to the opposite gender which made her confused.

"Hey, Elizabeth Knightley," Jackie frowned, "Why are you home so late?"

"Jackie, you're still up."

"Don't change the subject, and answer me, where have you been?"

"I just went for a walk."

"With whom?" Jackie continued to question the girl noticing her strange manner all of a sudden.

"It's none of your concern Jackie, anyway, have you finished your report," She spoke causing Jackie to panic.

"Babes, I need your help my brain is not functioning already." Jackie's att.i.tude turned 180 as she pleads and cried for mercy.

"Fine, go to bed already. I'll finish your report."

Jackie embraces her tightly and kissed her as she heads off to bed.

A couple of days later, the young girl continued spending time with Jay.

"Do you know the person who painted this is the Legendary Princess of the Knightley family. Her family is also so powerful back in China." Jay said as they saw one of the paintings in the university being displayed.

"I heard the painting is being auctioned for charity."

"It is, the money will go to Africa which is the university close school partner."

"Do you like her painting?" She anxiously asked with a blushful face.

"I do, her style is simple yet meaning full. I'm not sure if you notice but in every corner of her piece she always lives a hidden message," He explained which surprise the girl he notices it. "It blends well with the painting that you won't notice it."

"I see, this painting said 'Future' on it."

"I'm impressed you saw it that fast."

"I guess I have good eyes like you." She forced a smile awkwardly forgetting who she was.

Jay then held onto the girl's hand, gazing softly at her, "I guess you do."

Elizabeth just arrived when she saw pictures of her and Jay flying towards her.

"Explain yourself?" Jackie frowned furiously yelling at her.

"You spied on me?" Elizabeth was surprised and annoyed by the pictures she was seeing.

"Elizabeth Knightley, we've known each other for too long how could you keep this a secret from me." Jackie exploded not caring for what she've done.

"Jackie, we are just friends."

"Do you even know who he is?" Jackie continued to raise her voice annoyed how the girl continues to deny everything in front of her.

"His name is Jay Sanford." She answered showing no care for who the young man is.

" That's right, Jayden Sanford, the heir to Sanford Corp."

"What do you want Jackie?" Elizabeth sighed displease of what Jackie was trying to imply.

"Elizabeth are you blind, that guy is Jayden Sanford, his a f*cking playboy."

"Jackie I know that but it's not as if the guy is cheating on me," She replied as she picked up the picture on the floor.

"Don't tell me you like him?"

"Jackie, like I said we are just friends," She reacted as she handed the pictures she gathered back to Jackie. She then went to her room and closed the door.

Jackie wondered if Elizabeth really knew all of this or did she just revealed something she wishes she didn't. If the girl already knew why was she acting like a fool? Could she really have fallen for the b*stard and forgot who she is?

The next day, Jackie and Elizabeth were walking to their cla.s.s in the snowy afternoon.

"Liz."

A voice spoke from behind them.

Elizabeth and Jackie both turned around.

"Jay."

"Are you heading to cla.s.s?" He asked pleased to see the girl again.

"Yes, this is my roommate and best friend Jackie."

"Nice to meet you."

"Whatever, I'll go ahead," Jackie said leaving both of them on their own.

"Your friend doesn't seem to like me," He slightly frowned disappointedly.

"Jackie not really friendly towards guys since she has two elder brothers." Elizabeth tried her best to comfort him.

"Oh-" He smiled realizing something, "By the way, will you be spending Christmas here?"

"No, I'll head home." She responded, "You?"

"I'll be flying back to America." He answered, he then stretched his hand and handed a present to her, "Here."

Elizabeth was dumbfounded to suddenly received a present from him, "What's this for?"

"A Christmas present." He smiled shyly.

"But I didn't prepare anything for you?"

"It's fine," He said as he then kissed her on the forehead, "Merry Christmas."

As the girl slowly opened her eyes, she realizes tears were rolling down her face. She wiped the tears as she stared at the ceiling, "A Dream...."
