CHAPTER 74
BLAIRE POV
"I have talked to the president yesterday and the punishment for Ashley has been lifted," Jay said entering the dining. We looked at him seeing his hands loaded with papers." what do you mean by lifted?" Sean asked eating his pasta.
"Well, the scandal about him being in the relationship has been gone yet another scandal aroused and yet it has been resolved. So the company has decided just let the issue past since we have won the match" Jay answered that made us all feel relieved.
" but that doesn't mean she's safe, the stockholder has set their eyes on her. So another scandal broke with her name and it's the end" Jay said fainting a smile.
All of us stay quiet because of it. Ashley has been a good teammate to all of us, a good friend so we don't want her to go. She's now part of the family.
I look at them having the same expres
CHAPTER 75 DANIELLE POV " Good news guys, We have at least a week before the finals" Jay announced making us gain attention on him. We are busy looking from the paper he handed out and trying to get a possible hole on each player when he arrives. He's been with a phone call and I thought it was just from the company. Never thought it would be the staff of the tournament. My brother and the others put the papers down knowing we have a week to study it. " Ah, heaven" " Can we at least take a day off today? Let's just continue this when Ashley arrives" Sean said making the two nod. " Yeah, Ashley would have seen much from this papers than us," Blaire said. "My face is turning dull because of the stressed" Justin said looking at his face in the mirror. Jay chuckled, " well, I guess a day wouldn't be much...right?" My brother and Sean punches in the air b
CHAPTER 76 DANIELLE POV " Hey let's go over there!" My brother excitedly pointed out a store of shoes. Well, just like what they have planned, we all go to the mall without Ashley and Justin. Blaire and Sean seem to have fun shopping for their things. And I don't have the mood to do so. I looked at the area and saw that several fans are already taking a picture of us while we are at the shop. And I don't bother myself from smiling at them. I looked at my team. The three of them are busy looking for their type of shoes while I just sat on the bench. " hey brother, what do you think of this?" Blaire asked me showing me a pair of black and white Nike shoes. "Will this suit our uniform?" " I think it will, " Jay answered looking at the pair. " look they even have a size for girls, I think this will look good on Ashley," Jay says more which made me gain attenti
CHAPTER 77 DANIELLE POV " Justin said he's on the way," Sean said walking towards us. " that's good then, why don't you and Blaire comes in first" Jay said which made the two nod and follow his order. Just like what he said initially, we are now at the salon where he said gonna take care of our look for the upcoming photoshoot tomorrow. They have contacted Justin to be part of it and that guy didn't waste any chance and went all the way. I don't have much interest in this thing yet I don't have a choice also. We have to be in our best condition for tomorrow. Just like what jay said this will be great exposure for all of us. We could gain more popularity and followers from that. And to think that the company who's gonna be in charge of this was Ashley's best friend. There's no way she let her friend be exposed. " Miss Jeremy said that the photoshoot will be held on

Look at Captain smiling from ear to ear" Sean whispered to Jay who was giggling. " He doesn't seem to like it, does he?""I'm sure he's excited to be seen by Ashley" Blaire joined. " Speaking of her, isn't it a bit late? When do you think will she arrive?" Justin asked looking at his watch" Ah she won't be going home tonight, Ms. Miller said that she will be taking care of Ashley before the photoshoot. You know, making sure her skin is in a great condition" Jay said making the rest nod." So, you mean, she also has changed her look?"

CHAPTER 82THIRD-PERSON POV" Am I still a rival or a friend?" Ren asked Ashley straight gazing at her eyes. The girl was lost for words and didn't know how to answer. She gulped feeling uncomfortable with the situation, " Do I have to repeat it or do I need to rephrase?"Ren asked further as he knows that Ashley wouldn't get much of the situation.
