Semua Bab The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Bab 121 - Bab 130

Chase’s POVEverything else went smoothly after they congratulated me.“At 10a.m, there will be an intimate tea party to introduce the players for the next quarter, as you already know,” Tiana told me later in her office. “Being the only new person on the team, you are to make a brief statement, which I suggest you prepare for. Although it is an intimate tea party, it will be aired, so that makes your membership permanent,” she finished.“Got it,” I responded with firmness.“You are taking over Tyler’s changing room because you have replaced him, but I have made some changes so that it doesn’t look like you are in his room, but of course, you can add whatever you want,” Tiana told me.“That is so thoughtful of you, Tiana,” I told her.She looked at me and smiled, and that lustiness flashed in her eyes again, but I intentionally remained formal. She might have helped me get here, but I intended to continue being determined and hardworking, and this sort of distraction wasn’t part of th

Carmen’s POV“What are you watching, Millie?” I asked, trudging into the living room looking like a sack of potatoes.My hair wasn’t combed or packed, and I didn’t even have lip gloss on. I barely even managed to shower, and when I did, I didn’t apply lotion or anything to my skin.I just wanted to rot away.Millie tried to get me out of my misery, but there was nothing she did that worked, and eventually, she left me alone. It was only about twenty-four hours, but it felt like I had been like this for twenty-four years.Today being Monday even made it worse.I woke up with one of the most sickening feeling; I should have been at work by now.I would have worn my pair of tracksuits, or maybe jogger pants, and my baggy shirt, and hurried to Chase’s facility, or even his house, and spent the rest of the day taking instructions from him and arguing with him, and bearing the brunt of his anger or disapproval.But that wasn’t the case.Tiana had him now, and my life had literally taken a d

Chase’s POVThe rest of the team members arrived, as well as Roger James and Philip Trust, and I couldn’t help but notice the hostility of the players towards me, especially the one who had stood beside Tyler at the event that night.Again, I wasn’t fazed by it.“Ice King, you will take the first kick,” Roger said.I moved forward at the same time that Sean Noble moved forward.“I am the Ice King here, Chase, step back,” Sean demanded.I glared at him, and I really wanted to stay put, but then again, this was the first training, and I didn’t want Roger and Philip to become my enemies; it was obvious they were on Sean’s side because of his father’s status.I stepped back.We trained for about two hours, and I couldn’t believe how worthless Sean Noble was in the pitch. He didn’t know how to move around, pass the disk, or even accept it from his other players. I had always known that he was a terrible player from watching their games on TV, but playing in the same pitch with him just mad

Carmen’s POV“Why didn’t you check the proximity?!” I questioned Millie dejectedly.“Are you putting the blame on me now?” She asked me.“I don’t know,” I said, breaking down in sadness.I couldn’t believe that it wasn’t even something that I checked. I had been so focused on going really far away from my parents that I hadn’t thought of the possibility of getting close to Chase.The young man we met earlier later mentioned that he worked at the big league, not as a hockey player anyway, and that he was also our neighbor. We didn’t get his name, and we hadn’t asked because the moment he talked about Chase, I barely concentrated on anything else he said.“I am just so upset,” I added.And heartbroken, but I didn’t mention that part. Now, I would have to deal with worrying about running into Chase, and that would not be good as well. “You shouldn’t be,” Millie said.“Why not?” I asked her. “You already know how I feel about Chase, and all that happened at the event. I am trying to get

Carmen’s POVMillie and I got a new phone for me, but I had to go for a cheaper one because even though Millie already said that I didn’t need to worry about money seeing that she had gotten a new job, I still had to be conservative.“You are the only one whose cell number I have,” I had told Millie and she laughed.“Soon, you will have other numbers,” she had responded.Millie had had to resume work two days later, and that morning had almost being a tearful separation, especially for me.“Gosh, Carmen, I am only going to work, not dying,” Millie said.She was leaving pretty early, but she had been kind enough to make pancakes and coffee for breakfast because she knew that I couldn’t do anything in the kitchen. Millie was well-dressed, and she looked the part already.“Yes, but I am going to be left alone,” I sulked like a child. “And I am going to just be here thinking that I am a failure,” I mumbled.“You know what, as soon as I get back today, we are both going to find free job v
