Work With Her

Chase’s POV

“Is there a problem?” Carmen asked me, dragging me out of my reverie.

While she read out the schedule, I couldn’t stop staring at her face and realizing just how beautiful she was.

Carmen Vega didn’t have to do anything to come off as breathtakingly beautiful. She wasn’t like Tiana Donalds who adorned herself with way too much makeup, revealing clothes, and pair of high heels.

All Carmen needed to do was exist.

However, even when I thought about her in that light, I was also reminded that she was Donny’s daughter, and that made my heart conflicted.

“I don’t think there is,” I managed to answer before I would end up looking like a fool in front of Carmen.

“But did you listen to everything I said?” Carmen asked suspiciously.

In all honesty, I didn’t.

I only heard the first line of her speech because I got carried away by her beauty and the bitter realization of whose daughter she was, but thankfully, a call from Terry saved me.

I hopped up almost too quickly.

    Chase’s POV“Are you sure you are ready to train today?” Philip Trust asked me.It was another day for training, and obviously, Sean Noble wouldn’t be coming, so there wasn’t any need to have hopes that I would see Carmen.I barely slept a wink last night, and while I stayed awake, I had to force myself into trying to keep Carmen Vega out of my mind.After Edna Jones told me how I had missed Carmen, I had almost lost my mind, and then later that night, realization had dawned on me that I was gradually letting Donny’s daughter to ruin my career; the same career that Donny had tried to destroy.If I allowed that to happen, Donny would have a party.At least, what he didn’t get to achieve, his daughter indirectly did.And so, I had woken up with a more determined mindset to stop thinking about Carmen or what happened between us and just focus on my career like I had always done. “Yes, I am,” I responded.We went into the pitch and trained for about two hours, and by the time we were don

    Carmen’s POVAgain, Steven Noble sent his driver to pick me up; I saw the expensive and luxurious car in front of our apartment.This had gone beyond favors now.Even though it was still the first week, it didn’t feel like Steven Noble was going to stop this any time soon, and trying to talk him out of it was a fruitless attempt.When I got to the front door, my cell phone rang before I could open the door.“Who is it?” I asked as I dug my hand into my handbag, trying to retrieve the phone.My guess was that it was Millie. Maybe she was calling to talk about how her short vacation trip was going and how she didn’t want to ever come back, but I was wrong.It was my dad.Exasperated, I picked up.“Good morning, dad,” I greeted sourly.“I didn’t think you would take my call,” he said.I still hadn’t forgotten what my thoughts and feelings towards him were, only that I hadn’t figured out a way to find out.The Donny of a man didn’t have an identity anywhere other than the cards I had seen

    Chase’s POV“I have been trying to get your attention, Chase,” Cindy Mayers said as she walked into my changing room.“What for?” I asked her.“We haven’t gone over a lot of things and you keep pushing me away,” she said.She sounded slightly pissed and exasperated, but seeing her didn’t make me feel better either.I was still reeling from the annoyance and disappointment of what happened at the training earlier today. I had been called out of the pitch because I wasn’t playing well or concentrating. I hadn’t even realized that I was passing the disk wrongly until my attention was called to it.And since I started playing hockey, that was the first time that something like that was happening to me. It had never happened before.“Is that why you go about making reports about me?” I asked her without bothering to hide my anger and disdain.“I wasn’t making reports, Chase,” she said.Was she trying to deny this?“Then what do you call what you did with Terry?” I asked her, my anger risi

    Carmen’s POVSean Noble’s mother’s words left me worried and almost speechless, but more importantly, it left me curious.Things like this always brought out the FBI in me.“Not everything deserves an investigation, Carmen, unless you are ready to lose your job,” a voice in my head warned me.Unfortunately, I rarely listened to the voice in my head.If she had simply lied to me by telling me a nonexistent story, I might have forgotten that the painting room existed, but responding to me in that manner like it was a forbidden room just made me wanted to find out things for myself.Anyway, I was done for the day.“My husband would have wanted the driver to drop you off,” Sean Noble’s mother said to me.Steven Noble wasn’t back yet, and I felt relieved because as much as I enjoyed the rides, I didn’t want to bank on his favors. It wasn’t part of my job descriptions, and I honestly didn’t want to take more than I should.“I don’t mind taking a taxi,” I said.But she just wouldn’t accept i

  • 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.

    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
