discussing the strategy

Evelyn’s P.O.V.“Don’t act like some kind of innocent saint, Evelyn. You wanted their attention, and you got that by playing hard to get.”“But mind my words.”“They are supposed to be mine, and they will be…. Sooner or later.”“So, take my word as a warning and stay away from Evan and Jonah. You have your boy, stick with him.”My mind was still replaying Jessica’s threat when I only wanted to think about the internship offer.The Black Raven Club.An actual hockey club.An opportunity to work with people connected to the national team.And, somehow, Kaelen was the one who had insisted on having me in their tactical analysis group.Jessica ruined my happiness and my life in the past life, and she was still on the same mission.She couldn’t let me be happy for a while.I took a deep breath, closed my eyes, and started counting sheep at the back of my mind.This was the only way to throw Jessica out of my mind and think about Kaelen and the internship offer.I still couldn't understand

he is displeased

Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Professional strategist.Those words echoed strangely in my mind like a melody that I had long forgotten.In my past life, Brian had said similar things to me more than once.Back then, I had always brushed them aside.I thought being Zack's strategist was enough.If he succeeded, I believed I would have succeeded with him.Now, hearing Brian say it again made something inside me ache.But before I could respond, the door suddenly opened.Coach Henry walked inside with other staff members following him.I straightened my back, but didn’t stand up.Behind them, the entire team entered. They still had their jerseys, but they had removed helmets and skates.Jonah was the first one through the door, followed by Adrian, Evan, and the others.I blinked in surprise.“What is everyone doing here?” I asked Brian in a whisper.Coach Henry crossed his arms after stopping near the projector board.“Shall we start meeting?” Henry asked Brian in a formal tone.He had alw

the first confrontation

Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)A few players chuckled.But Evan crossed his arms over his chest and stared at the formation.“So what happens if I move too early?” I had never heard him asking so many questions before.This was the first time, but I was still patient.“You'll ruin the entire sequence.” I clarified with the same calmness, with no hesitation.His eyes narrowed.“That's reassuring.”“It wasn't meant to reassure you.”A few players laughed again.Even Brian covered his mouth, hiding a smile.In the past life, we barely spoke to each other, and now…We were bickering like old friends.Evan's expression darkened.“You really don't hold back anymore, do you?”“Would you prefer me to lie to you?” I tilted my head slightly in the end.He grunted but looked away for a moment.And then he shifted his gaze sharply to me.His silver-grey eyes were sharp, but there was something else behind them.Curiosity.But other than that, I didn’t want to read any other emotion.He finally shook

the fear came back

Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)I calmly put down the tablet at the side table and looked back at Zack again.“This is not about you or anyone else, Zack. This is about winning the match.” I didn’t need to clarify anything to him, but most people in the room felt the same.I could see it in their eyes.Even Evan had arched his brow.I took a deep breath but didn’t break my gaze at Zack.“My work is to provide a good strategy to the team with the maximum chance of winning. This open strategy will confuse the opponent without giving them a chance to come up with a new strategy during the match. Cornering one or two players is affordable, but chasing and cornering all the important players….” I trailed off on purpose.Zack was still breathing heavily, his expression turning dark, but the rest of the people nodded in unison.“In the last match, Zack, Evan, and Jonah were the ones who scored and dominated the match.” I brought the data from the previous match.“It may be a possibility that the

she needed to explain

Zack’s P.O.V.“You need to change the strategy, Coach. This is nothing but sidelining me.” I almost screamed in desperation.“Enough of your tantrums, Zack.” He yelled back, looking completely frustrated.“Evelyn has the right point. Just like us, they would have been working on their strategy too this time.” He continued, still trying to make me understand why this opening strategy was better than putting me in the centre.“And don’t forget about what happened in the last match.” He reminded me sternly.“Black Raven has already been our strongest opponent, Coach.” I still argued.“Thanks to Evelyn, who came up with a different strategy during halftime, we managed to win.” My eyes widened in shock, trying to make sense of what he said.Evelyn changed the strategy mid-match?Why didn’t she tell me?And why did she suddenly start opposing me?Ever since the proposal incident, Evelyn had changed, and I still didn’t know what exactly changed her.And now, I was learning that she had chang

her defiance

Zack’s P.O.V. (Continued)Her smile disappeared the moment our eyes met.She whispered something to the girls around her, then turned away as if she hadn’t seen me.That only made my blood boil.I strode towards her, but she changed her direction.My nails almost dug deeper into my palms.“Jessica,” I called her when she didn’t stop.She still walked away, ignoring me completely.I quickened my pace and caught up with her.“Jessica, I’m talking to you.” I almost yelled at her in frustration.“I heard you.” Her voice was cold, but she didn’t stop.I stared at her back in disbelief.Was everyone suddenly allowed to ignore me?First Evelyn, and now Jessica?I reached for her wrist, but she pulled away before I could touch her.“Don’t.” The coldness in her voice was completely opposite to her sweet and refined persona that she faked all the time.By now, we were in a deserted corridor.She stopped and turned towards me.The coldness and indifference on her face felt like a sharp slap in t

his anger

Evelyn’s P.O.V.“You got to be kidding me, Eve. Are you serious?” Cathy exclaimed aloud in excitement, almost throwing her food tray on the ground.“Keep your voice low.” I hushed her and looked around cautiously.I told her about my internship with the Black Raven Club.She knew about my dream, and also what kind of base this internship could provide me.“Why do I need to keep my voice low, huh? You said yourself that they approached you. You earned this opportunity, Eve. I am so happy for you.”She was beaming so brightly that her face turned red.Her eyes were practically throwing light.I smiled while shaking my head helplessly.This was my best friend.My Cathy.The girl who had stood beside me no matter what foolish and wrong decisions I made in my last life.My Cathy who was killed because she wanted to protect me.And now she was sitting right in front of me, alive, excited, and practically glowing because something good had finally happened to me.I couldn't stop staring at h

he insulted me

Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)Cathy held my hand tightly, but I was staring at Zack with a burning gaze.I wanted him to be gone from my life forever.He was here not because he had any feelings for me.He was here because he was about to lose the lucky ticket of his successful life.“Did….. did you tell Brian and Coach Henry?” He asked me, trying to get a grip on the situation or something on me that could hold me back.“They already know about it, and it was Brian and Mr. Westley who recommended me for this internship. Coach Henry also knows about it.” I answered him calmly.The thin thread of hope diminished from his gaze.“Th… they recommended you?” He asked, still in a state of disbelief.“Yup. If you don’t believe, you can go and ask them,” I answered flatly.I knew that he didn’t believe me, but after getting a warning from Coach Henry this morning, he couldn’t go and ask them about me.“My internship is legitimate, Zack, and my place on the Mountain Panthers is still the same.

her planning

Evelyn's P.O.V.“Congrats, Eve. I am so happy for you!” Athena cheered, hugging me tightly.I had told her about my internship over the phone before lunch, and she had asked me to wait for her at home.The happiness in her voice at the time had been contagious.“Thanks, Sis. Thank you so much,” I said, returning her embrace and feeling the warmth of her arms around me.“You earned this spot as Evelyn Croft, not as an heiress of the Croft Corporation. This is your achievement, girl. I am so happy for you.”Her praise and encouragement were things I had also received in my past life.I was the one who had never listened to her.“This is worth celebrating! Go freshen up. I am telling the kitchen to prepare all your favorite dishes. I am calling Cathy, too. We are having a celebration party!” she announced excitedly, pulling away from me.Her smile was so bright that I forgot to breathe for a second.“Then call Theo, too. It has been ages since I last saw him,” I added, and her smile wide

they all came

Evelyn’s P.O.V. (Continued)The doorbell rang before I could say anything else.Athena immediately straightened, checking her reflection in the glass cabinet near the dining room.“That must be Cathy! Eve, go and get the door. I need to make sure the kitchen doesn't burn my dinner.”I laughed at her exaggerated concern and hurried towards the entrance.The moment I opened the door, Cathy stood before me with a large chocolate cake in her hands.“Surprise!” She cheered, lunging at me with her signature wide smile.I almost stumbled backward while catching her.“Easy, Cathy!” I groaned but stared at the cake.“And what is this?” I asked her, pointing at the cake, holding her by her waist.“What does it look like? A birthday cake?” She rolled her eyes.“Of course, it's a celebration cake! Athena said that we are celebrating your internship, and I couldn't possibly arrive empty-handed, right?” She was still grinning from ear to ear, looking at me with expectation as if she wanted me to pr
