A Little Too Nosy

Chase’s POV

Everything happened almost in the blink of an eye.

The shoot with Nora was lengthy, but brief at the same time. Carmen already had a speech ready, and I wouldn’t even have been able to change anything even if I wanted to. I spoke on the tournament and the award presentation, and Carmen drafted it in a way that would not outwardly trample on the integrity of the senior board members.

But it certainly touched the necessary areas.

After the shoot, she told me about Edna Jones’s intimate family party, and just as Terry had advised me, I played along.

Donny hadn’t reached out to me since the last time he did, and Tiana seemed to keep off as well. In the last two days, everything seemed…almost peaceful.

“What are you going to do after this event?” Terry asked me over the phone as I got dressed for Edna Jones’s event. “You still have a couple of days before another training begins,” he reminded me.

“First of all, I am just giving myself time to rest,” I answered.

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Questions That Shouldn’t Be Asked

    Carmen’s POVPaintings.The room was filled with paintings scattered all over the room. A bucket of paint color had been spilled at the corner of the room.Paint brushes were littered about.“What?” I couldn’t help the shock and confusion I was feeling deep inside.I hadn’t even looked at the room when I walked in because all my attention had been on the call I was making to Steven Noble. I didn’t smell anything like the spilling of paint, and from what I was seeing, the paint that spilled had been from a while ago; I couldn’t tell. The room only smelled of abandonment.Like a place that hadn’t been graced by human presence in a really long time.Also, the way things were littered and scattered about indicated that the last time anyone was in this room hadn’t been peaceful. Something inside of me told me that there had been an altercation or a fight, and that was something else I felt about the room.However, that wasn’t what caught my attention the most; it was the paintings itself.

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   Non Disclosure Agreement

    Carmen’s POVThe morning run with Sean had been more chaotic than I even anticipated. He could barely cover an hour before stopping and panting like a deer.“I can’t, Carmen, I just can’t,” he had said, much to my astonishment.How could a hockey player be this lazy?I couldn’t help but recall the first and only time Chase Maddox asked me to run with him. He had covered a long distance and even returned to continue with other exercises without breaking a sweat, but Sean Noble couldn’t even keep up for thirty minutes.I did try to push him further, but Sean Noble wasn’t very responsive.We had to return to the house where he was served a very light breakfast, and Sean Noble consumed everything in the blink of an eye. By the time we got back, Steven Noble had already left the house for work for the day.“I need more food,” Sean Noble had demanded.“No, Sean, that’s all you will be having for this morning,” I declared.Sean Noble stared daggers at me, but with the previous intervention

    Chase’s POVIt was the second day now and Sean Noble hadn’t shown up for practice. Never had I worried about him like I was doing now, but in truth, it wasn’t Sean Noble I was dying to see.Far from it.It was Carmen Vega.Since my announcement and everyone knew that she had stopped working for me, Donny hadn’t bothered to reach out to me. I guessed that he had channeled his greed to Sean Noble’s family.Again, none of that was really my business.Why in heaven’s name was I dying to see Carmen this much?It wasn’t even up to a week yet but it already felt like it was a decade already, and each time I anticipated seeing her or looked forward to seeing her, my heart would begin to palpitate in ways I had never experienced before.As I got ready for the day’s training, I wondered if I would see her, but before I left the room, Terry called me.“Hey, Terry,” I said into the phone as soon as the call connected.“Cindy has some complains,” Terry stated without hesitation.I rolled my head i

    Carmen’s POVMillie already took a break from work to go on her short vacation with her mystery boyfriend who she wouldn’t tell me about or introduce to me, and so being at the apartment all by myself suddenly seemed too boring.Returning home from Steven Noble’s mansion and ordering takeout, then showering and going straight to bed had been the only things I did the previous night.I wanted to catch a show on TV before heading to bed, but I changed my mind because I didn’t want to run into any of the channels talking about Chase Maddox and his new manager.“You know you will have to see him sooner or later, right?” A voice in my head asked me as I got dressed.“Yes, I do, but I will postpone it if I have to,” I found myself responded to the voice in my head.As soon as I got outside, another flashy and expensive car from Steven Noble with a professional driver was waiting for me.It was the third day now, and Steven Noble hadn’t failed to send a car and a driver to pick me up, no mat

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   My Loss

    Chase’s POVI tried to stop thinking about Carmen working for Sean Noble, but it just wasn’t working.Worse, the other hockey players had made some remarks the day before when they thought I wasn’t listening, and I haven’t been able to get those words out of my mind.“Sean is going to have fun with her,” one of the players said.They were all friends of Sean Noble, or rather, the ones who worshipped the ground he walked on because of what they could get.“I don’t doubt that,” another one said.“She is just going to be like the other managers his father has hired for him in the past,” one of them said.They all burst into hearty laughter.My skin crawled and my rage intensified, but I didn’t confront them.As a matter of fact, I followed the conversation till the very end because I wanted to know what was going on, and it was majorly with Carmen because I didn’t give a shit about Sean Noble.Before now, I couldn’t even stand the sound of his name being mentioned around him, but with Ca

  • The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me   A Powerful Intervention

    Carmen’s POVThe rest of the day for Sean Noble and me was chaotic and neither of us wanted to give in for each other. We ended up almost tearing each other’s throats.Eventually, I sighed with huge relief when Steven Noble and his wife returned from work and where his wife had been to all day.I opened my mouth to speak, but Sean beat me to it.Apparently, he had been waiting for the arrival of his parents, and as soon as he knew that they had driven in, he hurried down the stairs.“I would like to have a word with you, dad,” Sean Noble said.“Not now, Sean,” Steven Noble said, almost snapping. “Your mother and I have a cocktail party to attend tonight, hence, the reason we are back early. We came home to prepare for that and we don’t need any distractions from you,” he added.Almost immediately, a few glam team arrived for Sean’s mother.The woman wasn’t concerned about anything Sean had to say, or the obvious heated tension between her son and husband.
