Painful Admission

Carmen’s POV“She said that?” Millie asked in utter shock.“I couldn’t believe her myself,” I responded drily.“You didn’t concede, did you?” Millie asked.“Of course not,” I answered. “I already did what she wanted, and that’s it,” I added firmly.“Good,” Millie said.I sighed deeply.For the rest of the day, after Tiana Donalds left, I was quite disturbed. I worried about her going back on her own terms with Chase, and I almost tried to find a way to reach her just so that I could tell her that I had accepted her offer. Even though I wasn’t working for Chase any longer, I still wanted him to get exactly what he wanted, and it was deeper than the feelings I had for him. He would never be with someone like me, but that didn’t mean that he should lose what he had been aiming for because of me.“You should never let her bully you into a hole anymore,” Millie continued, oblivious of how I was actually feeling deep inside. “You have already given up something you cherish, and she shouldn

Full Blown Threat

Chase’s POVBefore getting ready for my training that morning, I had to call Terry so that I wouldn’t forget. My manager should have handled this, but since I didn’t have any yet, I had to do literally everything myself.“Gosh, Chase, this is way too early,” Terry grumbled sleepily. “It had better be an emergency,” he added.“Did you use up your energy last night?” I asked him lightly.“Yes, and I am an adult,” Terry responded.I couldn’t help the smile that crossed my lips at that. Hopefully one day, Terry would fall in love with someone and let go of this playboy lifestyle, but then again, he was an adult, and more than that, I couldn’t even be advising him over something that I wasn’t keen on.“What is it?” He asked. Then he added before I could even answer, saying, “You better be quick about this.”“I need you to help me with a favor,” I said, knowing that Terry was the only person I could rely on for this.“What do you need?” He asked.“The player I replaced…his name is Tyler,” I

A Piece Of Shit

Chase’s POVI didn’t like the fact that Roger James had the audacity to throw a threat at me, but as soon as I got into training, I let go of the thought and focused my full attention on the training.Roger James and Philip Trust were present, as expected, but their presence fueled me to even do better.“This game is shit!” Sean Noble snarled as he strutted out of the pitch five minutes before our training ended.“Sean!” Philip Trust called him warningly, but instead of Sean to respond, he raised his middle finger to Philip, asking him to go and fuck himself.Sean Noble left the entire pitch without looking back.Well, it wasn’t as though he was even playing well. I understood that he got into the big league because of his father’s position in the country, but what I didn’t understand was why he was crowned the best hockey player.Sean Noble wouldn’t be anywhere near a hockey pitch if it was left to me.We rounded off the training and had to assemble in the presence of Philip and Roge

Scandalous Interview

Carmen’s POV“I honestly don’t know how my dad got my new cell number,” I told Millie as we had dinner.We were having a late dinner because Millie didn’t return from work in time. Again, I couldn’t help out because I didn’t even know something as little as frying eggs.Millie didn’t mind, and I guessed it was a good thing that she loved cooking.“He is your father, Carmen, and don’t forget that Lori found out your apartment even without telling them,” she reminded me.My shoulders fell dejectedly.“And only God knows how long it would take for them to find me here,” I muttered in dejection.“I don’t think you should be worrying about that now,” Millie said. “You only moved up here,” she added.I wanted to believe her, but the whole thing just made me very sad. It was as though nothing was going right with me, and it made me sick.Anyway, Millie finished her dinner faster because she didn’t have anything to worry about like I did.How could she?She was working at a firm she liked, an

Deadline

Chase’s POVCarmen’s friend almost caught me going to spy on her in her new apartment. After I was given her address, and I pleaded with him not to ever let anyone know that we ever had that conversation, I went there.Even though I waited for the day to get dark, I couldn’t help myself. While I was there, I kept asking myself why I needed to see Carmen, but I didn’t find an answer until her friend came out. I had to drive off quickly before she would recognize me, but I left with a huge disappointment in my heart because I didn’t get to catch a single glimpse of Carmen.Then I woke up with the worst news ever!“Have you seen the news and the blogs?”Terry was the first person to call me, and he didn’t hesitate in stating the reason for his call.“No, I haven’t, because I just woke up,” I told him, and I was also surprised that Terry was up before me. “What’s going on?” I asked him.“Why don’t you get it out for yourself,” Terry said.After he ended the call, I checked my phone, and

A Different Offer

Carmen’s POVI hardly slept a wink last night, and by morning, I was a mess.“Are you still on this?” Millie asked.She had woken up, gotten dressed, and even had breakfast, and I was still pacing around. I couldn’t put down my cell phone. Every passing second, I kept viewing the responses from everyone and how they were coming for Chase. My heart was beating very fast, and I worried deeply for Chase.“Millie, you should see the comments,” I told Millie worriedly. “They are going to do a protest against Chase. Do you know what that means?” I asked her.Millie shrugged nonchalantly.“I can’t say that their anger is not justifiable,” Millie said.I paused instantly, trying to think about what Millie just said and the insinuation of it, and I recalled that last night, when I had spoken about Chase.She had used the trash as an excuse to leave.Then she came back inside with the story of someone watching our apartment. At first, I had been horrified that it might have been someone sent

Probation

Chase’s POVI waited impatiently in Tiana’s office. She told me that she would work something out, and I trusted her.I had to. I didn’t have any other choice.Going out of the big league to speak with Carmen wasn’t an option for me right now. Not that it wasn’t something I couldn’t do, even if it would be embarrassing for me, especially after the last interaction we had, but with how hateful everyone out there felt about me, I might just cause a stir in the city if I stepped out at this time.“What if Carmen is adamant?” I asked myself worriedly.The last time I spoke to her, she had been obstinate about what she wanted, and I worried now that she might still stand on her decision.“What if she has even gotten another job?” I continued to ask myself, letting the worry and anxiety to swallow me up.Philip Trust and Roger James gave me three days.That was the shortest deadline I had ever had, but somehow, I believed deeply that with Carmen here, we could figure something out. My sched

Completely Different

Chase’s POVIt was as though an eternity passed between us without either of us saying a single word. This was the first time I was standing in front of a female and I was tongue-tied.Carmen wasn’t my lover.She wasn’t someone I was having a damn crush on.She wasn’t an ex-lover.She was my freaking employee, so why in heaven’s name was my chest beating fast, and why couldn’t I say something?“It must be a nasty scandal for you,” Carmen said, breaking the ice between us.Still, she sounded way too cold and professional, but then again, I really shouldn’t have been expecting anything more or less from her.“Yes, it is,” I responded.It seemed as though my tongue was simply waiting for Carmen to say something before loosening up.“I thought that I would have to wait for Tiana, seeing that she hired me on probation, but she seems to be taking longer than a minute,” Carmen said tightly.“Carmen, she did not…” I started to correct the impression that it wasn’t Tiana who hired her, and she

Sticking To Professional

Carmen’s POVTiana already made the rules crystal clear, and maybe I should have held onto my pride and turned her down, but I couldn’t.I was even a little ashamed at how eagerly and cheaply I had accepted the offer.“You are only going to be Chase’s manager, and that is it. There will be no conversation between you two except it is connected with your job, no shared looks, laughter, talks, and certainly no shared kisses. Chase is not your friend but your boss, and I am his boss, so you answer to me now. If I as much as sense any form of closeness between the both of you, I will make your life a living hell, just the way I did to Tyler.” Those were Tiana’s exact words after I accepted to be Chase’s manager again.They were deep and icy with danger, and I had accepted the terms. Chase needed to be saved, and so he was the only one I was thinking about.After that, Tiana had asked me to get changed and go with her to the big league, which I had done. However, on our way here, I had sp

She Knows

Chase’s POVThe moment I got to my dressing room, I called Terry.“Hey, Chase, what’s up?” Terry asked as soon as the call connected.“She knows, Terry,” I blurted in urgency.Terry paused for a second to digest what I just told him.“Tiana?” He asked.Then I realized that I hadn’t even told him that Carmen was back to working for me. I ground my teeth in annoyance because it just felt like a big deal giving Terry that news.“No, not Tiana,” I said.“Who then?” Terry asked me.“Carmen,” I responded.“Carmen? Carmen Vega? Carmen, your former manager?” Terry asked emphatically.“Yes, Terry, Jesus,” I responded, tracing my face with my fingers in exasperation.“How did Carmen even come back to conversations?” Terry asked me.“She is back to being my manager,” I told Terry.I had to tell him sooner or later, or one way or another, so I might as well do it now that I was making a report to him.“What did I miss?” Terry asked.“You already know what is happening, Terry. I need someone who c
