Chapter 59
TIMOTHY POV
Timothy stepped out of the meeting room, his mind still swirling with thoughts. about the changes
the new club leader was implementing. The meeting had been intense. He knew he had to work
even harder than ever to prove himself this time around.
The new club leader had announced some significant alterations to the team’s strategies and
ying style. One of the changes involved giving Timothy more ytime, which should have been a
reason to celebrate. However, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of unease about the direction the
team was taking.
As he made his way through the bustling corridors of the club’s headquarters, he tried to process all
the information that had been thrown at him. He had to y catch up to get the same level of
notoriety with the new team, and it felt like a daunting challenge.
The pressure to perform weighed heavily on his shoulders. He had always been a standout yer
in the previous club, but now he had to prove himself all over again. It was as if he was starting from
scratch, and the thought filled him with anxiety.
Still, he had to adapt to the new strategies and gel with the other yers quickly. In this case, it
would serve him well to make new allies rather than just casual drinking friends.
As he walked, he couldn’t help but think about his old team and how much he had grown attached
to them. They had been like a family at times and leaving them behind had been bittersweet. Their
silence during the trial had been deafening, however, and Timothy couldn’t help but feel empty.
Later on, Timothy threw himself into one of his intense training sessions. He knew that he had to
prove his worth on the field, and that meant giving his all in every practice and match. He weed
the opportunity to improve his skills and be a more versatile yer.
There was no room for mistakes this time. No room for doubt, especially with him. being heavily
scrutinized under the public eye at that point. Having dedicated fans. did not trante to having
dedicated teammates and coaches.

Surrounded by the rhythmic sounds of nking weights and the smell of sweat. Timothy’s mind
eventually drifted to Evie. Lately, he had noticed a change in their dynamic, and it left him feeling
uneasy.
After their night at the strip club, he had hoped their friendship would grow stronger. They had
shared a fun time together, and he had felt a deeper connection with her. However, in the days that
followed, he couldn’t shake the feeling that Evie was pulling away from him.
As he lifted the weights, he reyed their recent interactions in his mind. Evie had seemed distant,
and their conversations had be more surface–level. She had been evasive when he tried to
make ns, always iming she was busy with work or othermitments.
Timothy couldn’t help but wonder if he had done something wrong. He had felt a strong bond
forming between them, but now it seemed to be slipping away. She had opened up to him about her
past, and he had hoped that would continue. Instead, he felt like she was shutting him out.
Finishing his set, he wiped the sweat from his brow and took a water break. As he gulped down the
cool water, he suddenly grew frustrated. It was obvious she was avoiding talking about whatever
was bothering her.
He wanted to be there for her, to offer support like she had done for him, but it seemed like she
didn’t want to let him in. He didn’t want to push her, but he couldn’t stand seeing her so distant. She
even looked sad on some asions.
Despite her distance, he couldn’t help but be drawn to her. He found himself. thinking about her
constantly, wondering what was going on in her life. However, he had promised to keep his distance
if it meant her feeling more secure around him.
There was one awkward evening when he found himself standing outside her apartment, debating
whether to knock or not. He missed herpany, and he wanted nothing more than to spend timeFrom N?velDrama.Org.
with her. Instead, he had retreated back into his apartment, his heart beating violently.
After that, he had tried going out with some friends, preferably without punching anyone. However,
the nights were short, and his wicked thoughts always circled back to Evie. It suddenly became
more convenient to spend his nights home alone. with Duke aspany.

Duke seemed to love Evie as well. That told Timothy a lot about a person. especially since he met
so few of them. When he’d met the pet–sitter, Linda, his immediate instinct had been to growl circle
around her. He didn’t what disturbed the dog so much about Linda, even though she seemed to
take good care of him while Timothy was away.
As Timothy walked out of the gym, he spotted a group of his former teammates huddled together,
their eyes fixed on a phone screen. He noticed their snickering and felt a tinge of annoyance. He
had expected some skepticism about the changes, but their behavior seemed different, almost
malicious.
Timothy furrowed his brow, feeling a pang of irritation. What could they possibly beughing about?
Ignoring the unease settling in his stomach, he approached the
group.
“What’s so funny?” Timothy asked, trying to keep his tone casual.
One of the yers, Jake, held up his phone, smirking. “Take a look, man,” he said.
Timothy took the phone and nced at the screen. It was a social media page belonging to a
woman he recognized as Linda – his dog–sitter. The photos showed her in various ces, and he
couldn’t help but find familiar.
He quickly scrolled through the pictures, his heart sinking as he saw images of Linda posing in his
apartment. The realization hit him like a ton of bricks had been in his home, taking pictures without
his knowledge.

His face flushed with embarrassment and anger. “Where did she get these photos?” he asked,
trying to sound calm despite the roiling emotions inside him.
Jake shrugged, a mocking glint in his eyes. “Who knows? But it seems like she had quite a time in
your apartment.”
Timothy’s jaw clenched, and he handed the phone back to Jake. He couldn’t believe that Linda had
taken pictures in his personal space and then shared them without his consent.
“She had no right to do that,” he said through gritted teeth.
His former teammates exchanged smirks and shrugged off his words, seemingly amused by the
situation. Timothy’s frustration grew, and he felt an overwhelming. desire to defend himself.

“I barely know her,” he said, his voice tinged with annoyance. “I employed her, and that was it. She
had no business posting those pictures.”
One of the other yers, Mike, chuckled. “Looks like you left quite an impression
on her.”
Timothy shot him a withering re. “This is not funny.” he retorted.
Jakeughed, and Timothy felt a surge of anger rise within him. He had left the team to pursue his
dreams and grow as a yer, but they seemed content to belittle him at every turn.
“I suggest you mind your own business,” Timothy said sharply, unable to hold back his frustration
any longer.
Mike shrugged, feigning innocence. “Just saying, man. Your business is all over the
inte now.”
Timothy took a deep breath, trying to keep hisposure. He didn’t want to stoop to their level and
engage in pointless arguments.
“This is fucked,” he said with a sigh, rubbing a hand over his forehead.
As they all watched him in quietly, mischief twinkling in their eyes. Timothy nearly lost it.
“Go do something better with your time!” he growled, kicking the nearby wall and disturbing the
photos that hung on it.
With that, he turned on his heel and walked away from the group, determined not to let their taunts
get to him. He knew that he had made the right decision to leave the old team.
As he left the building, he couldn’t shake the feeling of frustration and
embarrassment. He had tried to start fresh with the new club, but it seemed life
wasn’t having that.
How could Linda do such a thing? Had he not paid her enough? Fans viting his privacy was not
a new event, but he hadn’t expected things to go this far.
He was going to have to call his manager about this..
