21 Days In The Hockey Captain's Bed Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Auction(part II)
“Our first lady tonight is Miss Penelope Lancaster.”Penelope stepped forward. Her golden gown hugged every curve of her body like a glove, and the diamonds around her neck sparkled beneath the chandelier.The host smiled. “Miss Lancaster is an English heiress and philanthropist from one of London's most prominent families. She is the founder of the Lancaster Foundation, which supports women's education across Europe, and tonight she is wearing one of the most extraordinary pieces in our collection.”Penelope smiled sweetly, but her eyes remained fixed on George as the host continued.“This magnificent necklace contains over one hundred and fifty carats of diamonds and rare South African pearls. It was once worn by Queen Adelaide of England during one of her most celebrated royal appearances.”A murmur went through the crowd. “This piece has been preserved for generations and is estimated to be worth more than two million dollars.”The audience immediately reacted, then the host lifte

“Are you sure about this, Lady Eleanor?”Eleanor looked at the woman standing beside her and raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow.The woman held a clipboard against her chest, her expression caught somewhere between confusion and concern.“We already have the ten names,” she continued, lowering her voice as though she were afraid someone might overhear them. “The list has been printed. It would be rather strange to cross out one of the names and replace it now.”Eleanor glanced toward the stage where the master of ceremonies was preparing for the auction.Then she looked back at the woman. “Mrs Yola, trust me on this.”The woman blinked, and Eleanor leaned closer.“We need money for these kids; we have a goal to meet, and you all pushed me to invite my grandson, right? So do you want him to bid or not?” Grandma asked the lady, who nodded so quickly before she continued,“It was hard to get my grandson to attend this event in the first place, but it'll be harder for him to participate
21 Days In The Hockey Captain's Bed Chapter Fifty-Six: The Gala
By the time evening settled over Manhattan, the hotel hosting the charity gala had come alive.It was one of those grand Manhattan hotels that seemed designed to remind everyone who entered that they were standing somewhere important.Tall glass doors opened into a marble lobby glowing beneath enormous crystal chandeliers. Waiters moved quietly between elegantly dressed guests, carrying champagne and wine. Security stood discreetly along the walls while photographers gathered near the entrance, waiting for the night's most recognizable names.Inside the ballroom, round tables dressed in white linen filled the enormous space. Gold candlelight flickered from the centrepieces, while towering floral arrangements rose from crystal vases.At the far end of the room stood a beautifully decorated stage. Tonight's event was being held to raise funds for Silver Mercy School for Deaf Girls.And judging by the crowd, some of the wealthiest and most influential people in New York had come prepared
21 Days In The Hockey Captain's Bed Chapter Fifty-Five: The Call
George's phone vibrated against his desk. He glanced at it without much interest, expecting another reminder from his secretary or one of the countless messages that had been piling up since morning. His day had been nothing but meetings, contracts, phone calls, and decisions that somehow always seemed to require his attention immediately.But the moment he saw the name on the screen, Sam–Yennifer’s bodyguard, he quickly picked up his phoneGeorge opened the message immediately, and it read,“Good day, Sir. Your teammate, Mr Anthony Drew, is currently with Miss Yennifer”His fingers stopped moving across his laptop as he read the message again. His expression remained unchanged, giving nothing away, but the slight tightening of his jaw betrayed the irritation he refused to acknowledge.It was barely noticeable. The kind of reaction no one would have caught if they had been standing beside him. George leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the message as he read it once moreAnth

“I completely forgot.”Chloe laughed. “How do you forget an event you're supposed to attend? An event filled with almost all the A-list celebrities in New York!"“I haven't forgotten exactly. I just haven't thought about what I'm going to wear to the gala. I haven't attended one before”“Then we need to fix that. Good thing you have me.” Chloe said, causing Yennifer to look at her suspiciously. “Why do I feel like this is going to cost me?”“Because looking good is a serious business, darling. But for now, we need to head back to work before they fire our asses.” They both laughed as they hurried back to work***Four hours later, after the close of work, both found themselves perusing more than five clothing stores already. Their search was taking longer than either of them expected.They visited several boutiques, examining dresses, rejecting colours, and trying on a few options that didn't quite feel right. Left for Yennifer, she would have chosen one in under an hour, but unfortun

Yennifer smiled sweetly at him, her eyes slightly unfocused.“I bought you…” She hiccupped, pausing as though trying to remember what she had been saying. “A gift.”George stared at her for a moment. “A gift?”She nodded enthusiastically. “Yes. For you.”Then, as though remembering something important, she pushed the duvet aside and struggled out of bed.“Yennifer, where are you going?” George asked, concerned about her well-being “Wait!” she announced, raising one finger. “Don't move.”George watched as she made her way to the shopping bags near the wardrobe, swaying slightly. At one point she almost lost her balance in her drunken state but then caught the edge of a chair and steadied herself before continuing.He sighed, already wondering how much trouble one tipsy woman could cause in the space of a few minutes.Then Yennifer crouched beside the bags, rummaging through them until she found the one she wanted. “Found it!”She turned around triumphantly, holding a small, beautifull
