Chelsea“Appa, I didn’t come back home for a job. I just want a break.”It was bad enough that I failed at everything that I set out to do and came back home with nothing to my name, and now my dad has made it a point to make me feel even more worthless by offering me a job.Okay, he is doing it out of love for me, but still, I told him I came for a break, and I do plan to return to New York just as soon as I can get Owen to change his mind.It’s not the first time we would break up, and it’s not even our biggest fight.“Honey, I just don’t want you holed up in your bed all the time like you have been doing since you arrived a week ago. It’s a job that will keep you on your feet, and it pays really well.”I resisted the urge to roll my eyes at my dad and walked past him.I went back to my room and closed the door loudly to make sure he was aware that I wasn’t pleased with him.I flopped on my bed and sighed deeply. I covered my eyes with one arm over my face and sighed deeply.I bare

Chelsea*Two days later*“When I said I accepted your offer, I didn’t mean I would start working immediately, Appa.”I argued with my dad, who took a sip of his morning coffee and smirked.“That’s the thing with hockey, darling; there’s no time to stop and breathe.”My dad said and took one of the perfectly made toasts I had placed on the plate for him.The only thing working for me now was my cooking skill, which I got from my stepfather, who is a big-time chef in New York.“I hate hockey.”I wasn’t kidding. If not for hockey, my parents would probably have still been together.They were so in love, but then my dad became a very well-sort-after and busy coach.He was always on the move, and the longer he stayed away, the further apart my parents drifted.My mom made him choose between us and hockey, and he chose hockey.No, I am not mad that he decided to sign the divorce my mom had sent to him instead of quitting his job as a coach for the Ottawa Cascades. I wasn’t mad either that

Chelsea“How old are you?”I blurted out and felt really stupid for asking such a foolish question. Jace lifted his eyebrows. Hayes laughed, and Beck just straight up shook his head at me in disapproval.Forgive me for wanting to know their age, but as a thirty-year-old woman, I can’t be caught having silly thoughts about anyone younger than twenty-five.That’s literally my one rule when it comes to flirting and dating. Though I have only dated guys older than me, and I don’t have any plan of dating any of these guys, no matter how hot I find them.“We are not teenagers.”Hayes said between laughs.“That’s not what I asked.”I already asked the question, so there’s no point backing down until I get the answer that I wanted.“I like her already. She is feisty.”Beckham said and winked at me. The guys were such flirts, and they weren’t even trying to hide it.“You still haven’t answered my question.”I pressed on, and they all laughed.“The oldest among us is twenty-eight, and the young

Chelsea“But he is successful as a hockey player.He is captain of a famous team and a star player who has won multiple awards and led the team to win the Stanley Cup three times.If they win this season, they would be winning the cup three times in a roll and from what I found out online, their team has the highest potential of winning.I read a lot about the guys in the twenty minutes it took us to get to their apartment, and Beckham has such a flourishing career, so I couldn’t understand why his family would want him to quit and go do business.I don’t know him well enough, but I do know that he doesn’t look like someone who would thrive in a business place no matter how small or big that business might be.“That’s the thing, Beck’s family don’t care about hockey or how well he has done for himself; they don’t see any of that. They think he is wasting his time when he should be taking over the business.”Jace explained.“Is his family a big deal?”I asked, and Jace laughed.“Ever h

Chelsea“Oh—babe, I forgot you were in here.”He said without attempting to go back to his room to wear something more appropriate.“The right thing to do will be to go inside and wear something.”I let out when he still didn’t even move from where he was. He just laughed.“Why? I am comfortable.”Devil.‘I am not! I mean, who would be comfortable with a hot man standing in front of them advertising his whole package?’Those were what I wanted to say to him, but instead, I just tinned my lips and forced my eyes away from his crotch.“So, I may not have the contract ready, but I do have the NDA.”He said and walked away, which turned out to be a bad idea too because now, he had his ass on me.It wouldn’t be so crazy if he didn’t have a perfectly rounded ass that felt tight against the brief he was wearing.Probably because his front package was pulling the whole material to the front.Get out of the gutter, Chelsea.I screamed inside, but that didn’t help me.“Come to the kitchen, darl

Chelsea“Is there some elitism thing going on in your team?”I couldn’t help but ask, and his response was to laugh out loud.“What? I don’t think I said something funny.”He stopped laughing immediately.“No, there’s no elitism or whatever, and our team doesn’t care that we have a different road manager. It just works better that way, and everyone agrees.”“I am sure your team badmouths you guys behind your backs.”He laughed again, and I decided that I like his laugh.“That’s okay. We badmouth people too.”“Even my dad?”I asked him.“Yes, especially your dad because he is fucking strict.”I laughed.“Not to me.”“Of course, not to you. You are his little princess.”I scoffed.“I am thirty; I am not a little anything.”I let out which made him laugh.“But you are so small.”“No, I am not. You are just huge!”I argued, which made him laugh even more. I realized I was in a little danger when he moved closer to me.“Can—can I see the NDA?”My voice made me sound unserious, and Hayes no
