FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 48: His Attention
MIKKA.I found out what Seven had done when one of the analysts walked into the video room with his phone in his hand and a surprised look on his face. “Oh, you both are here?”I looked up at him, puzzled.“Yeah. What's up?”He placed the phone in front of me without saying anything, and the moment I saw Seven standing outside the arena surrounded by reporters, my stomach tightened. I watched the interview in silence, listening as he spoke about my work, my reports and the changes we had made together, and I felt embarrassed when he openly admitted that I had helped him believe in himself again. He did not make me sound like some magical person who had fixed his career, but he made it clear that he trusted my ability, and somehow that meant more to me than all the praise I had received from the coaching staff.When the video ended, I looked at Seven, who had been standing near the doorway without me noticing.“You didn't have to do that.”He shrugged, but there was nothing casual abo
FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 47: Enough Talk
SEVENBy the time I reached the arena the next morning, there was no way to escape the photograph. It was everywhere, from sports websites to social media pages and entertainment accounts, and every headline seemed determined to turn one simple dinner into a story about my entire life. Some headlines asked whether Mikka and I were secretly dating, while others claimed she was responsible for my sudden return to form. I had barely stepped out of my SUV when reporters rushed toward me, cameras flashing so quickly that I had to shield my eyes for a moment. I kept walking toward the entrance, hoping they would lose interest, but the questions followed me across the pavement.“Seven! Are you and Mikka together?”“Is she the reason you're playing better?”“Does the organization approve of your relationship?”“Seven, is Mikka becoming your personal coach?”I stopped.The reporters immediately moved closer, their microphones almost touching my face. I looked around at all the cameras and real
FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 46: Hurting Her
MIKKA.I woke up to the light from my phone flashing across the dark room, and for a few seconds, I had no idea what time it was. I reached for it sleepily, expecting another message about the internship, but the moment I opened the first notification, the little bit of peace I had been feeling disappeared. A photograph filled the screen, showing me and Seven walking out of the restaurant the previous evening, with his hand resting casually on the car door while I stood beside him smiling. My stomach tightened as I scrolled down and saw that the picture had already been posted on campus gossip pages, hockey forums and sports accounts, with strangers adding their own stories to a moment they had not even witnessed. Some called me the woman behind Seven Calloway's comeback, while others said I was using him to build a career in professional hockey, with some persons even claiming that I had planned the entire thing for attention.I kept scrolling until my fingers started to hurt, but so

SEVENI had barely finished changing when the general manager appeared at the locker room door and motioned for me to follow him. I pulled my jacket on and stepped into the hallway, wondering if I had done something wrong, because managers did not usually pull players aside after practice without a reason. He walked in silence until we were far enough from the locker room that the noise of the other players faded behind us. Then he stopped near a window overlooking the empty parking lot and turned toward me with a serious expression.“Seven, I want to talk to you about Mikka.”I raised an eyebrow.“Is something wrong?”“No, not at all,” he said quickly. “Actually, it's the opposite.”The manager leaned against the wall and folded his arms.“Honesty, when the head coach first suggested bringing Mikka into the team's tactical meetings,I wasn't convinced,” he began to say. “She was a graduate student without professional experience, and the organization already had analysts who have spen
FAKING IT ON ICE: DATING THE SPORT KING 44: My Pleasure
MIKKA.I kept my eyes on the screen after the veteran challenged me, even though my heart had started beating faster. For a second, I wondered if everyone in the room was waiting for me to become angry or embarrassed, but I refused to give them what they expected. I took a slow breath and looked at the head coach instead, keeping my voice calm as I asked him to replay the sequence. The video started again, and I forced myself to focus on the ice instead of the people watching me.“Can we run it back from the moment the puck crosses the blue line?” I asked.The coach nodded and replayed the clip. I leaned forward and pointed toward the screen, showing them the small delay that happened whenever the puck moved toward the left side. The defenders shifted too early, and for only a few seconds, a narrow passing lane appeared between them. It was not an obvious mistake, and that was exactly why most people missed it, but once I saw the pattern, I could not stop seeing it.“Look at the defe

SEVEN.I was finishing the last skating drill when the head coach raised his hand and called me toward the bench. My legs were tired, my jersey was damp with sweat, and all I wanted was to get my helmet off, but the serious look on his face made me slow down. I pulled off my gloves and walked over, wondering if something had gone wrong during practice. Instead, he gave me a small smile that immediately made me curious.“Good session today,” he said. “But I wanted to talk to you about Mikka.”I frowned slightly. “What about her?”“My meeting with her went very well.”I couldn't stop the smile that appeared on my face. “Yeah?”He nodded. “Yeah.”He told me he had spent most of the afternoon reviewing the exhibition game footage alongside Mikka's reports, and the more he compared them, the more impressed he became. Several of the tactical changes she had suggested before the game had happened almost exactly as she predicted, including one sequence that created a clear scoring chance for
