Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

Carmen’s POVI wasn’t expecting the press to surround Chase like that, and because I wasn’t prepared for it, a nudge from one of them had sent me flying to the ground.First of all, I wasn’t really firm with heels, which was why I had to rehearse walking in them before today, and secondly, I wasn’t looking.My face was covered in shame when I looked up and saw Chase looking down at me.This was even disastrous before it even began. How stupid could I be?He had already been scolding me like a child, but with this now, I was certain that he would fire me right on the spot and ask me to book a taxi home.“What happened?” Chase asked.I wanted to give a response, but the press member who pushed me to the ground answered first.“I didn’t see her there, Ice King, and I am really sorry,” she apologized sorrowfully.“You are to leave this premises or I am going to write a report against you, and your journaling career will be over,” Chase told her. I opened my mouth in shock because I didn

Chase’s POVEvery head turned when Tiana Donalds walked in, including mine, and that was because I had wanted to see and know what fascinated them.Tiana Donalds was beautiful in her dress, but I wasn’t attracted to her in any way. I could see the lust in the eyes of many men, including the ones who had come with their wives, and Tiana, in turn, was enjoying the attention.She walked past Carmen and me and went to some group of men first. They air-pecked each other in light pleasantries, and I recognized the men as judges in hockey.Where was Arnold?As much as I tried to look around and also exchange pleasantries with a few acquaintances, I just couldn’t catch sight of him. Why was he absent? I couldn’t fathom it. If Arnold was here, I would have set eyes on him by now.Could Tiana be correct about his position being given to her?Granted, she had shown me the letter, but I just didn’t believe it completely. Tonight was supposed to be the night, and I was very nervous already. It was

Carmen’s POVThe event was getting more intense, and I was beginning to feel the heat even though I wasn’t exactly a part of it.The heat emanating from Chase Maddox burned into me.I could feel his rage and bitterness and jealousy.He was angry that he hadn’t gotten any awards or even the slightest recognition. I realized that here, Chase wasn’t exactly the “Ice King.” I also realized that people here were those in the big leagues. They weren’t just known in the country alone, but they were known globally, while Chase was only known in the city. I had thought that he was successful, and I still felt as though he was, but now I understood why Chase had always wanted something bigger and higher.He wanted to be here, at the very top.I had listened to his conversation with Sean Noble, and I might understand a little how he must have been feeling, especially when he scolded me about clapping for him. Then Tiana Donalds being awarded as the highest referee in the game of hockey came as

Carmen’s POVThis wasn’t the reason I came here to talk to Edna Jones and speak to her about Chase, and now, she was just going to give it to Sean Noble?I looked around, but there wasn’t any familiar face. There wasn’t even anyone that I could talk to around here, and so if it didn’t work with Edna, there was no one else that I could speak to. What would I say to them?Also, I had stayed away from Chase for too long. He might not have noticed still because his attention was elsewhere, but I still didn’t want him to look for me when he eventually realized that I wasn’t standing beside him. More than that, I couldn’t return to Chase as a failure. I had to fix this so that he would realize that I did help him because it seemed as though things were already very rough for him.“That will be all. Have a lovely evening,” she eventually turned to me and said after she was done ensuring that her personal assistant had put my idea down. Then she proceeded to return to the group of people sh

Chase’s POVWhat Tiana Donalds did was on purpose, and it didn’t quite sit well with me. Carmen’s white dress had been ruined, and aside from that, she was embarrassed. I would be if I was in her shoes.One of the waitresses hurried to us as some attention had been drawn to us because of Tiana’s supposed clumsiness.“Ma’am, are you okay?” She asked Carmen.“No, but I will just have to clean myself up,” Carmen answered.I couldn’t gauge her feeling because her voice was too damn neutral.“If you could just show me to the restroom,” Carmen requested.“Of course. It is this way,” she said and led Carmen away.Carmen hadn’t even turned around to look at me or say a word before leaving, and I watched her go, I felt bad. Tiana really shouldn’t have done that because now, her perfect dress was ruined, and she had eyes on her, but Carmen didn’t seem to be ashamed as she made her way out of the room. Her head was held high.Tiana cleared her throat, bringing my attention back to her.“You se
