Semua Bab The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Bab 151 - Bab 160

Carmen’s POVChase knew something that he was hiding from me.That was the thought in my head as I made my way back to my apartment, and I was so certain about this that I couldn’t shake it off.My instincts were hardly ever wrong.I stopped bombarding Chase with questions and left him because I figured that with him, I wouldn’t be able to get the answers that I needed. I realized that he was prepared to argue with me all night rather than be honest with me.I wasn’t concerned about his eyes before now because just as Jonathan Price had instructed, it was Chase’s private life, and as long as I wasn’t put off by it, it was okay. As a matter of fact, I thought that it was unique and cute.Until I saw that young boy, and something in me knew that there ought to be something there that Chase wasn’t telling.As much as I wanted to turn a blind eye and just continue with my job, as it wasn’t any business of mine, I couldn’t. I was too much of a curious person to just act as though there was

Chase’s POVWe were already warming up for training, but I noticed that the only person who was late was Sean Noble.Roger James and Philip Trust were present, as always, but they never said anything about his nonchalance and negligence.“Welcome back, Chase,” Benjamin said.The other players were still keeping their distance and acting hostile, and ironically, only Benjamin, whose best friend was in jail because of me, started to come close. Anyway, I didn’t even have that luxury of time to worry about who was friendly or not.They couldn’t stop me from performing well, and that was all that mattered.“Thanks, Benjamin,” I responded.“Here he comes; the perpetual latecomer,” Benjamin said, gesturing towards Sean Noble’s direction.I looked and saw that Sean Noble was indeed making his way to us, but he was more or like strolling down. He was taking his damn time while everyone, including the officials, waited for him. This was ridiculous and annoying, and I could barely stand it.“He

Chase’s POVThat wasn’t what I was expecting from Carmen at all, especially with the way she said it.“Right here and now?” I asked.“Yes,” she responded.Carmen went ahead to cross her hands around her chest, indicating that she wasn’t joking around. Again, there was something different about this Carmen Vega that had returned to work for me, but I just couldn’t place it.“I thought we were going to treat my swollen ankle first,” I said.“Yes, we will, but I am not going anywhere with you if we don’t get some things straightened out,” she responded.Oh well, we might as well get on with it.Carmen already thinks that there is something going on between Tiana and I, and I recalled trying to correct that impression, but she hadn’t let me, so maybe this was the chance I had. I was already disappointed and dejected that I would have to try so hard to convince a whole lot of people about the situation with Tiana.Beginning with my manager seemed like a pretty perfect start.“Alright then

Carmen’s POVWe signed the contracts in front of the cameras, and Edna and I talked some more.“Excuse me, I have to take this,” Chase said when his phone rang.A tiny part of me wondered slightly if it was Tiana calling to keep track on what was going on, and if that was the reason he was so eager to go out and take her call, but I had to remind myself to not cross the line between professional and private.I had to try as much as I could to keep my eyes and heart away from Chase’s personal life, but hopefully, he would be able to talk to Tiana so that I wouldn’t have to deal with her anymore, or less.And that she wouldn’t ruin things for him.Edna and I continued talking, and after a while, we came to a conclusion to meet up over the weekend, right after the tournament.“The news is out already that Chase Maddox, popularly known as the Ice King, is our new brand ambassador, and in a few weeks, we will be launching our jersey line which will be anchored by Chase,” Edna told me. “Bef

Chase’s POVThe guts of Carmen Vega!She really got on my nerve.“Great one, Chase. You couldn’t get one manager that you could tolerate, and the first one you manage to accept, she starts to drive you nuts,” a voice in my head told me.I shook my head at myself as I made my way to Tiana’s office.I missed the moments when Carmen followed me around like a shadow. Now, it was as though she had gotten wings, and she just wanted to live by her own rules, instead of sticking to mine.If she wasn’t so nearly perfect, she would have lost her job with that.And what was that car fight about?It was now more difficult to have a conversation with Carmen, or even an argument. She was always so defensive, and she wouldn’t even let me say what I wanted to say. It was ironic that when she started working for me, she could barely shut me up. She did argue, but she never shut me up, but now, it had become the opposite.I could barely say a complete sentence in her presence, especially when she was
