Chapter 280
Ellie
" Think I'm going to like Tony being a new friend. He's able to knock sense into you and I would accept your friendship with Toby rather than accept your friendship or relationship with Jimmy. "
"Say that you are right and that you warned me about the tactics that this guy is capable of and I still refuse to listen to you and hypothetically speaking what are the odds of him taking what's you to me. I started adding numbers and my head just now and I think that I'm not getting what I'm working for. I've got the sponsorship with A.M sports,the blog and video posts I do for them, and the labour I put in to kick a ball around and score in a net for a living . "
" I'm nowhere near my office and I'm not home yet
Chapter 281MaxI've worked hard to get where I am right now and I'm just over the moon that I have been I called up to represent my country, beginwith my best friend who decided to make peace with me. The training at the camp is rigorous. I have to have my A game on because no matter how hard I try or no matter how precise and on-target I am there's someone who can do it better than me and there's someone who would kill to be in the position that I'm in. I'm lucky enough to have someone that I work with on a domestic level and on a national level too. Toby is a professional and he is a team player which is what I love about him. I just hope that he can get picked as vice-captain. Jacob didn't get a call up and we're the only two players from Stone football club to get a call
Chapter 282Max" No I don't, you need to know that I was almost voted out as captain just a couple of weeks ago and I think my personal life is going to be put into the spotlight and they might try to play games with my mind. There is a journalist that I don't like. ""That's nothing new the same old Maxwell that thinks the whole world is against them so do you want me to take the questions from the journalist you don't like because normally we would be send the list of questions and we would go through them like 30 minutes before the press conference and we'd know how to answer them so that everything looks perfect but this time we have nothing I don't have my phone you don't have my phone we all don't have our phones. ""You're pointing out the obvious and I think that you will be briefed accordingly."
Chapter 283 EllieTrying to convince Max not to do the press conference proved to be harder than expected. I knew that Jerry had a bit of calling in the family members of the team members for encouragement and he would usually do it in the morning when everybody wasn't expecting them. He did that all the time. He's a creature of habit so consistency is key to him. When you called me the other day to give me an update on Maxwell he told me about the press conference and that a man named Matteo sent him a note via the hotel staff directed to Maxwell. I did some digging of my own and it turned out that the threat that Matteo sent was real. He was notorious for sneak attacks and he usually did things when people weren't expecting them to be done. Besides the fact that he was unpredictable I didn't like the fact that I had to deal with him. I know how he operates and how twisted his mind is. He's the type of guy that would tell you one thing to your face and make
chapter 284Ellie"That's why I'm calling you because I know how my son operates through and I reached home. He does respect you and you think that you're formidable when it comes to business so I need you to just please talk to your boyfriend because as it stands right now I do not have a replacement for him. Toby is good, he follows instruction and he gets the job done but with Maxwell he does a superb job. Together they make an unstoppable team."I took a deep breath and looked at the time again. I hadn't changed into my match day gear but I was still in my jeans and long sleeve Blue sweatshirt. "I watched the game a couple of days ago when I promised myself that I will do it with our son and our son was much more excited to watch is that played good football than I was it looks as if he has found his fire again but what the hell happened in that press conference because I'm only seeing just snippets of him just losing it and throwing water bottle at a repor
Chapter 285 Max There is a part of me that always feels as if I'm hardwired to mess up everything good that I have. No matter how hard I try or no matter how good my intentions are I end up messing up the best thing that could ever happen to me. I have to say that ; I don't think I deserve my girlfriend . She has always been my number one supporter and today out of all days when she won't let me not go to the press conference I defied her and went to the press conference. In my defence everything was going well during the question-and-answer session and I answered all the questions to the best of my ability but there was one reporter who kept on poking and poking and poking and wouldn't stop. The questions that the reporter was asking were irrelevant and intrusive. When he asked about Ellie being my boss I answered the question professionally and then when he brought up my son ; I told him not to ask me anything about my son because it h
chapter 286Ellie"Ok let's get one thing straight it's not lying."" Fine, call it what you want but you omitted information you kept from me that I needed to know to make a proper decision. If I had known, don't you think that I wouldn't have taken a different decision either than to call off our engagement? "" I kept parts of the truth from you to protect you. You are already going through a lot right now and so is Axel . I'm trying to protect you."" No you're not. You are trying to protect yourself. If I didn't know better I'd say that you look it went to the press conference to get back at me after I told you not to go. I tried to talk to you and tell you that it would be a bad idea. I'm dealing with your unruly behaviour during the press conference. You are lucky that you are still playing tonight. "" Oh I bet you talked to Jerry to include me in the squad even after my little stunt. That's how you
Chapter 287Ellie I don't know if it's the energy I'm attracting ; or the fact that I feel like history is repeating itself where my relationships are concerned, but I feel like Maxwell is displaying signs that he doesn't want to be with me anymore. I can tell it in the way he's acting and the way he's treating me cuz I've never expected in a million years to be treated the way he just treated me didn't even run out to me to apologize which is a clear indication that I think that he's fallen out of love with me and doesn't want to be with me. I've always been strong when it comes to emotions when he was the first cat and the first cat is not the deepest but it's the most painful. There's a reason why people always say the first love is never really over and it's true because you are always tormented by what if syndrome. What if syndrome bears something that happens when you are stuck on your last goodbye, and you keep on going back and forth in your head
Chapter 288 Ellie " Oh yes I do know what I'm talking about. You used your position to influence the board to make a decision to get me to work and the junior division of the club and then you got your buddy brand the gig as head doctor and it still won't get that I wanted but I didn't get it because hey experience was against me. "" Experience wasn't against you. I've worked with Brent before and I know that he has more experience and that's what the club needed at that moment. If you want the position again, apply for it when it becomes available, but it was available and he was the only one who knew how the club operated." " Oh I bet that Maxwell would love to hear about your little collaboration with him. "I shook my head and looked at Paulina and spoke calmly;" You tend to forget that I've worked with Brent before and I'm also trying to save money with regards to cost-cutting measures in the club I'm qualified for a positio
