Semua Bab The Billionaire Hockey King Stole A Kiss From Me: Bab 271 - Bab 280

Chase’s POV“Come to my house right now, Chase. Don’t make me wait.”That was the text I got from Tiana Donalds on my cell phone.“Well, about time,” I said to myself.I had been willing to speak to her since I got what I needed from Roger James and since Benjamin told me how critical Tyler’s condition in prison had become, but then again, I hadn’t known how to get in touch with her because she had been unavailable for a while now.“On my way.”I responded via text before leaving the big league in my car and going over to her house. It wasn’t far from the big league, so in less than ten minutes, I arrived at her house.She was sitting comfortably in her living room.“Took you long enough to get here,” she said, sounding cold.“I came as fast as I could,” I responded.“Sit down, Chase,” she instructed me sternly.Even though I hated being commanded, I sat down.“I am certain that you haven’t missed me, Chase,” she said.She also had a glass of brandy which she toyed with. Her lips and

Chase’s POV“This is the news that no one saw coming! Or maybe a few people guessed it because of how cozy they had been a few times. However, here is our confirmation! A few hours ago, Chase Maddox, the city’s Ice King, and the head referee, Tiana Donalds, publicly announce their relationship.”“What the heck, Chase?” Terry asked me angrily.He had barged into my apartment just to ask me this, and he came at the same time that Cindy Mayers had arrived with the same question on her lips.Then he had gone ahead to replay the news a hundred times over, so much that I felt disgusted hearing it.“Can you at least stop playing it on repeat?” I asked Terry with irritation.“I will play it for as long as I want to until I understand what the heck is being announced all over the city!” Terry barked at me.“Then you might as well do it in your house, Terry, not here,” I retorted angrily.I came to my apartment to cool off and hide, not to be bothered by the presence of anyone that would demand

Chase’s POVEdna Jones sent an urgent message to Cindy Mayers, requesting to see me, and so we had both gone together after my training.One week later and Carmen still hadn’t shown up at the big league.Well, I would have to take my mind off her completely now; there were too many things I was handling that needed to be handled.“Thank you for coming as soon as you could,” Edna Jones said.Cindy Mayers and I were seated in her office.“Is there a problem?” Cindy Mayers asked on my behalf.“Yes, there is a problem,” she responded.“What’s wrong?” I asked before Cindy Mayers could.The only thing between us was the job she was doing. Other than that, there was nothing more, especially after the last altercation we had at my apartment.After that, she had become stricter and more professional.Maybe it was a thing between managers because whenever there was an issue, Carmen always acted extremely professionally.I didn’t care about Cindy Mayers anyway.Terry hadn’t spoken to me ever sin

Carmen’s POVAgain, the FBI instinct in me was kicking in and I wasn’t even fighting it, but this time around, jealousy and anger for not being chosen were added to it.“I should have even done my investigations before now,” I told myself as I hurried out of our bedroom.Millie was using a cab, and how I intended to catch up with her, especially if she had already gotten one, was beyond me, but I just didn’t give up.Staying in this apartment was like living with ghosts right now.I didn’t have any other friend to substitute Millie with. I certainly couldn’t go to Lori’s house to spend some time with them; they had made that house unbearable for me.I got to the front door and opened it, and I almost collided with someone who had just been about to knock.“Hey…” she said, taking a quick step back.I stopped instantly to stare at the person who had appeared at our door.It was Cindy Mayers, Chase Maddox’s new manager.She was dressed in a pair of leather pants, jacket, and heels, and I

Carmen’s POVFor the rest of the weekend, I couldn’t stop thinking about Cindy Mayers’ visit.If she had come to threaten me or warn me off Chase, maybe I would have been able to handle that, but what I never saw coming was being asked to help her understand Chase so that she could work well with him.“This is crazy,” I kept saying to myself.The rest of that Saturday and Sunday, that was the only thing I could think about.“Maybe I should have turned her down,” I told myself.But I hadn’t.She had sounded so genuine that I just couldn’t. Instead, I had spent one hour telling her everything I knew about Chase Maddox and how I was able to stay where other managers had failed.I didn’t hide a single thing from her.The only things I didn’t tell Cindy Mayers about were the story surrounding Chase’s eyes because that was something very personal to him, and then the sex we had mistakenly had, and I labeled it as a mistake because Chase treated me horribly afterwards.“I don’t know if it wi
