LOGINCarmen’s POVThe moment I saw that young boy’s eyes, I knew that I couldn’t stop myself from talking to Chase. Something wasn’t adding up, and although it might not be any of my business, but I needed some answers. I was supposed to speak to Tiana Donalds first so that she would call Chase to her office as agreed, but this time around, I didn’t.I found my way to Chase’s changing room.It was risky, considering the fact that Tiana wouldn’t hesitate to fire me or generate stricter rules, but I couldn’t help it.“Hi,” I said when Chase just stared at me.He still had his phone to his ear, which was an indication that he was on a call.“Did I come at a bad time?” I asked him.That was a dumb question to ask because I could clearly see that he was speaking to someone else. Usually, I should have walked away and waited for another time, but I just couldn’t. Not when it concerned something as crucial as this.“No, you didn’t,” Chase said as he abruptly ended the call. “What is it?” He aske
Chase’s POV“Terry, I am back in!” I announced to Terry as soon as I got back to the changing room. I was beside myself with joy. I didn’t even realize that something like this could make me extremely happy. It didn’t stop there anyway.We went on to talk about a couple of things, and I also noticed that Roger James wasn’t so hostile to me anymore, but his reaction wasn’t even something I worried myself about. While we spoke, I couldn’t wait to get away from them so that I could make that call I had been dying to make.“Your numbers came up really strong, Chase Maddox, and people are clamoring for you. They all want to see the real Ice King on the pitch in the tournament,” Philip Trust had said.That had been the highlights of everything that they had said to me.I really didn’t bother myself about the likes and support of fans, but after this incident, I came to realize that they were a huge part of my success. Roger James and Philip Trust showed me just how much people who loved me
Chase’s POVI walked back into Tiana’s office a few hours later because she sent for me, but I was surprised to find her alone.Since I wasn’t training or doing anything, my day just seemed to be stretching for way too long, and it was infuriating.I wasn’t used to being idle, but this time around, I didn’t have much of a choice. However, the suspension would end tomorrow, and I was worried as to the verdict that I would get. Since Carmen’s intervention, there had been fast changes, but then again, it would only matter if they were significant to Roger James and Philip Trust.“Carmen is not back?” I asked Tiana.I had thought that she only sent for me because Carmen had returned from her meeting with Edna Jones.Tiana wasn’t pleased with my question.“So, Carmen has to be the only reason we get to see each other?” She asked me.She got up from her chair and walked towards me, and I sighed in exasperation. If Tiana was going to try this damn seductive tactic on me every single time, I
Carmen’s POV“I must admit that when the interview about Chase was made by that woman, I was grateful that I hadn’t allowed myself to get involved with Chase Maddox,” Edna Jones started.Chase would really have had his career utterly ruined if I hadn’t come in when I did.“But seeing that the woman came back and corrected that impression, I have gone back to changing my mind,” she added lightly.“I am glad that you see things differently now,” I said with a warm smile.“However, I did wonder why you didn’t come sooner. I expected you that entire week,” Edna Jones said. “I am sorry about that, but being that Chase recently got into the big league, I have been extremely caught up with trying to ensure that everything is in order,” I lied.I couldn’t tell her that Tiana Donalds had forced me to resign from being Chase’s manager, and that if it wasn’t for this scandal, I wouldn’t have been back working for him. Thankfully, I didn’t even have a phone that she could have reached me throug
Carmen’s POVTiana and I waited for Chase to come to her office. She had already instructed me that I would have to come to her office first before starting anything else for the day.I already had the schedule ready, but then again, I was very concerned about last night’s realization. It was funny that I was there for hours, and even when I discovered the place, I never thought of the acronym, and since last night till this very moment, I couldn’t stop thinking about it.Millie had gone to be angrily, and as early as possible, she had gotten dressed and left for work, so we hadn’t seen each other or exchanged words, but there was no amount of reaction from her that would make me feel bad about what I had done.The numbers were already good, and Chase had gone back to being the sweet Ice King by the time I woke up this morning.However, my main attention was on BSK.I had never met the owner before the previous day, so how did he find me to pay for my groceries and rent? Something was
Chase’s POV“You need to get here, Chase.”That was a call from Tiana the very next morning, and even if she didn’t say much, I already knew why she was calling, and as much as I didn’t want to be in her presence, especially after last night’s episode, I didn’t have much of a choice.I still couldn’t stop thinking about Roger James’s presence last night.He had already warned me about staying away from Tiana, which clearly showed that he had some kind of interest in her, but seeing him by my door last night just left me troubled.“I am on my way,” I said.I freshened up and made my way to her office.I would have to tell Carmen about setting up an office for me here so that I wouldn’t have to see and speak to Tiana in her office, especially with Carmen being present. I was so lost in my thought that I almost ran into Benjamin.“Hey, Chase, everything good?” He asked me.“Yes, I am fine. I was just lost in thought for some moment,” I answered.“I can’t imagine what you must be going th
