Semua Bab The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Bab 111 - Bab 120

Carmen’s POVI wish I could hide myself somewhere, especially with the look on Tiana’s face, but I couldn’t find anywhere that would accommodate the whole of me.Maybe Chase should have shut the door.“Did I interrupt something?” Tiana asked an obvious question, her eyebrow cocked.The worst part was that the effect of the kiss still lingered, making it almost impossible to get the blush stain off my cheeks.Chase cleared his throat and said, “No, you didn’t.”Was he embarrassed that he was caught in the bathroom locking lips with me? It sounded that way to me, and the butterflies I was feeling in my stomach disappeared.“But it seems like I did,” she said, staring at the both of us.She sounded and acted like a mother who had just caught two kids making out in her pantry.“And I have just said that you didn’t,” Chase responded, trying so hard to convince her.He would rather deny having anything to do with me than to make her feel displeased, and that sort of broke my heart, majorly

Chase’s POV“This cannot be,” I said the moment I was done reading her email.“What cannot be, Chase?” Tiana asked me subtly.“I know Carmen, she wouldn’t just resign,” I stated with confidence. And I knew that I was right. This was the same Carmen that I had tried to fire but wouldn’t leave. This was the same Carmen who had stuck with me even when I almost drove her off the edge with my demands and anger.“What happened, Tiana?” I asked her, looking at her.Tiana shrugged nonchalantly. “She probably realized that she was not good enough for you, Chase,” she answered flippantly.“Carmen is the only manager that has been able to work with me for more than two months. The others didn’t last two days,” I informed Tiana.“It still doesn’t change anything,” Tiana insisted.“And, didn’t she say that she lost her phone? How did she manage to send this email to me?” I asked, looking at Tiana suspiciously.I wasn’t stupid. I knew that something must have transpired when I walked out of that

Carmen’s POVIt was late, and there was no way I could go to the station, so I had to get in with the help of the apartment owner.But it had been the worst night of my life.I was dealing with the sadness of being forced to resign from being Chase’s manager, and the guilt of having Millie in the station because of me.She had never been there before, and to think that her first time had to because of me.As soon as it was morning, I hurried out of my apartment to the station. I didn’t sleep a wink the entire night, and my eyes were swollen from all the crying, but I didn’t care about that right now.“Hey, my name is Carmen Vega, and I am here to bail out my friend,” I said to the officer I saw. “Her name is Millie Owen,” I added hastily.“When was she arrested?” I asked.“Last night,” I said.He checked through their records and nodded. “She is here, indeed,” he told me. “But I am sorry, you cannot have her bailed,” he added, shaking his head.“Why not?” I asked, horrified. “Millie i

Carmen’s POVI was in the kitchen trying to make a cup of coffee for Millie before she woke up, but I was finding it very difficult.“Why don’t I freaking know how to do anything to save my life?” I asked. And then I yelled “ouch” when the burner touched my skin.“I am such a mess,” I said to myself dejectedly.All through the drive back to my apartment, Millie had been quiet, but then again, I couldn’t blame her. She was sullen, and she looked like a piece of mess, and I couldn’t imagine what it must have been like in there in the cell.“I didn’t sleep a wink last night, Carmen; who the heck sleeps while in cell. So, I would like to bathe and get some sleep,” Millie had said the moment we stepped into the living room.“Of course, Millie. Take all the time you need,” I had told her.That was two hours and thirty minutes ago, and I wanted to do something nice for Millie before she woke up, but unfortunately, I knew little to nothing about anything in the kitchen, and that made it real

Carmen’s POV“Why on earth didn’t you say anything?!” Millie yelled at me in shock after Chase left.I literally stood by the window and watched him leave before breaking down in tears.“What was I supposed to have told him, Millie?” I questioned her.My heart was broken, and I felt that I was beginning to have difficulty in breathing. Something was happening inside of me that I couldn’t understand, and it was because of Chase’s last words before he walked out of my apartment.“I really thought you were different, Carmen, but I was obviously wrong…goodbye.”Chase sounded like it was the end of it completely, and even though I already knew from the event after my conversation with Tiana, it still hurt like hell.Goodbye.That wasn’t the word I had expected to tell Chase, or worse, for him to even say it to me, especially in that deep and firm voice.Goodness, I was broken beyond words.Tears flowed from my eyes, and it was even more painful than the ones I had shed on my way back from
