Watch Me Win Alpha (Olivia and Ethan) novel Chapter 58

hapter 58

Maybe I just wasn’t used to someone like him being so… human.

Not a mystery or a myth. Just a man with parents who arranged dates and a pack waiting for a Luna.

“You okay?” Mike asked.

“Hm? Oh. Yeah.” I smiled. “I just thought someone like him

would be immune to things like blind dates.“”

“Even the mighty Alexander can’t dodge Mama’s wrath.”

“I guess not.” I laughed. “Anyways, I wish him a good luck. I hope he finds someone he can actually fall in love with!”

Suddenly, I heard a familiar voice.

“I didn’t expect you to still be here,” came Alexander’s voice from behind us, startling both me and Mike in the kitchen.

I turned quickly, almost dropping the spoon in my hand. He had just walked in from the hallway, dressed in a crisp black suit, his cufflinks catching the warm kitchen light. There was no coat, no briefcase, just his signature detached expression–except, this time, there was a flicker of something unreadable in his eyes.

“Oh, welcome back,” I said, awkwardly wiping my hands on the kitchen towel. “We were just… talking about the weather.“”

Alexander raised an eyebrow. “The weather, huh?” His eyes shifted briefly to Mike, who looked like he was trying to

disappear into the rice cooker.

I didn’t want him to know we were talking about his blind date.

Too late.

“You two seem to be very invested in my romantic future.” he added, voice cool with a sarcastic edge. “Maybe next time you can help my parents pick the girl too.”

I opened my mouth to respond, but he waved his hand lightly.

as if dismissing the entire situation.

“Don’t worry,” he continued, tugging slightly at his cuff. “I

wouldn’t want to miss ‘the one! Wouldn’t want to let a once–in-

a–lifetime blind date pass me by.”

With that, he turned and walked back down the hallway, his

footsteps slow and deliberate. I stood frozen by the counter, a

strange mix of irritation and embarrassment tightening in my

chest.

Mike, still hovering near the sink, gave me a look. “That wasn’t

about you,” he said after a pause, “even if it felt like it.”

I sighed, finally sinking into the nearest kitchen chair. “No?

Because it definitely felt like it.”

conversation.”

My throat tightened, but I didn’t speak. He was back?

“This situation between you two has gone on long enough.

Whatever happened… It needs to be settled face to face. You

owe yourselves that much.”

I bit down on my lip, unsure if I wanted to laugh or scream.

“Mr. Hawthrone, I don’t owe Ethan anything. He-”

Bob cut in, still calm. “I’m not defending him. I know exactly

what he’s done. And believe me, he’s not in my good graces right

now. But running from the mess doesn’t clean it up.”

He paused, letting his words land. “Avoidance never helps,

Olivia. I would like it very much if you come here tomorrow

night.”
