FAKING IT WITH MY EX-BOYFRIEND'S COUSIN THE HOCKEY CAPTAIN의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

ALEX“I never asked you to pay for the meal. You just landed yourself in trouble,” she said to me.I froze when Mrs. Williams stopped in her tracks at the sight of us together. She had figured out that it was me beneath the mask, and now I had no idea how I was going to explain myself.Her eyes moved from Lilian to me, and I could tell she was trying to process what she had just seen.“Alex?” she finally called, her voice filled with disbelief.I said nothing.Lilian stood beside me in the ridiculous janitor's apron and bonnet, looking completely confused by the situation.Mrs. Williams took a step toward us.“What exactly are you doing here?”I didn't reply to her. Instead, I held onto Lilian's hand firmly because I wasn't about to let her go.It wasn't like I owed the Williams family anything anymore. My mom was dead, lying cold in the morgue, and I had just returned the keys to the apartment Mr. Williams had helped me secure closer to school.I had lost my captaincy, so I was liter

LILIANThe next morning, I woke up quite late. I had to attend school and check for a restaurant where I could find a job because even if I earned twenty dollars a day, it was better than sitting around doing nothing.I looked down at the bedsheets and realized that I was no longer wearing my clothes, which immediately brought back memories of everything that had happened between Alex and me the previous night. I ran a hand through my hair and headed toward the bathroom, but when I swung the door open, I found Alex inside, completely naked and taking a shower.I shut the door almost immediately, my face heating up. Damn, girl, you two were already intimate last night, so why are you acting shy because he is naked?Alex walked out about five minutes later, and I caught the amused smile on his face. I said nothing and hurried into the bathroom, took my shower, and got dressed.When I went downstairs, I noticed that breakfast was already set on the dining table.“Sir, did you cook this?”

LILIANAfter making sure Alex had left the rink, I decided it was time to look for a job at one of the nearby restaurants. I walked around the area, checking different places, but most of them either didn't accept students or weren't hiring part-time workers. I sighed and continued searching because I couldn't afford to give up so easily.I eventually found a restaurant about a five-minute walk from the college gate. When I entered, I noticed a beautiful lady who looked to be in her early twenties standing near the counter. I walked up to her, hoping she could help me."I'm here because I need a job," I said. "I'll even work as a janitor if that's the only position available."She asked me a few questions before explaining that one of their waitresses had left the previous day. They needed someone to take her place, and she was willing to give me a chance. When she told me the pay was sixty dollars a day, my eyes widened before I could stop myself.Sixty dollars a day would help me co

ALEXI pulled my car over to the side of the road, still trying to process the words that had just come out of Lilian's mouth.“You see me as an immature person, a child. I guess you should find someone mature enough for you,” I said.My words seemed to shock her, and she stared at me as though she couldn't believe what she'd just heard.“You want me to get out of the car?” she asked, her voice growing quieter.“When you decide to give me an attitude and talk to me disrespectfully, you should at least be ready for the consequences,” I replied.I wasn't buying her sudden change in expression. She had called me a child, and I wasn't going to pretend her words hadn't hurt me.“I was so tired last night,” she explained.“I'm not mad at you, Lilian,” I replied.She glanced at me, but the words seemed to fail her. After a moment, she spoke again.“So, I should literally get out of the car?”I let out a sigh. “I don't have time for this.”I understood that she had every right to decide what

LILIANI walked away, secretly hoping Alex would come after me. However, he didn't, and I couldn't help thinking that he was probably still angry about our argument that morning. I sighed and decided to focus on getting through the rest of my day instead of worrying about him.I made my way to the restaurant, reminding myself that I still had some money left from the previous day's earnings. When I arrived, I went straight to the changing room, changed into my waitress uniform, and returned to the restaurant floor. I tried to concentrate on serving the customers, but my mind kept wandering back to everything that had happened between Alex and me."Watch where you're going!" a customer snapped when I nearly bumped into him."I'm sorry," I muttered, stepping aside to let him pass. He returned to his table, and I continued with my duties, trying to push my personal problems aside. I knew I had been wrong to raise my voice at Alex, but I also needed him to understand that my decisions mat
