In Love With My Evil Stepbrother

Chapter 70

Chapter 70: Three Years Later

THREE YEARS LATER.

I rush down the street, knocking a few shoulders along the way and stepping into one icy mud pond. The cold winter air is like a blade cutting through my lungs. After making a sharp turn at the corner, I finally see the bus station.

A bus has just arrived.

“Wait…Please wait a second!!” I yell to the driver

But he only gives me a cold and indifferent look before closing the door and driving away from the station.

“…Fuck!”

I bend down taking a time to catch my breath and then clieck the time.

It’s already 16:37

Now I have exactly 23 minutes to make it across the town and arrive at the restaurant I work in, which is impossible, which means I’m so screwed. Today is not the day to be late, because I’ve made a plan to talk to my manager about making an early withdraw of my salary. My rent is due in a few days and the incredibly high living expense in New York is sucking me dry. I have a student loan to cover my tuition, but I still llave to work my ass off to pay for that loan.

I’m now working at a fancy restaurant as a waitress. Not exactly a decent job, but it’s good money. Also, when people get tipsy, they tend to be very generous with the tips. I was a little concerned about the money when I got admitted into NYU three years ago. But Liam talked me into it.

“It’s a great opportunity,” he said. “You will get the money thing figured out. Worst scenario if you don’t, I’ll help you with it.”

With a little help from his side, I’ve managed to make ends meet for the past three years. As long as I get that early withdraw today, I’ll be fine. Ten minutes later, I finally push myself into the overly crowded bus and leave for my job.

On the way, I start to work on my speech to the manager, who is a complete and total cheapskate. I better have some good reasons prepared for her to give me the money.

But suddenly my phone buzzes, interrupting my thoughts. I take it out and find it’s my mom.
