A Beauty In An All-Male Alpha Academy

Chapter 149: Finding A Job.

Angela scrolled through her phone, her heart sinking a little more with each search. She had been trying to find a job that required no experience. It sounded simple, yet it was harder than she imagined. After all, she had only started using a phone when she entered the academy.

"I heard there are on-site jobs in the academy, but I don’t know if they’ll hire us," Alex said softly, watching her with concern. His mind had been restless, searching for ways to help her gather the money she needed. "Maybe we should check them out."

"Won’t it affect our studies?" Stales asked carefully. He knew what was at stake. Alex was at the top of the general board, but he and Angela were still struggling to climb into the top three hundred.

"No. I already spoke to Samuel," Alex explained with calm assurance. "He’ll try to find something that isn’t too demanding. We won’t work long, maybe a week or two, just enough to help, then we can focus on our tests and exams."

Angela frowned, her thoughts turning heavy. Why were they saying we? She was the one who needed the job, not them. They had done so much already. It felt wrong to drag them into her troubles.

"Alright, guys," she said at last, placing her hands on the table. They had just come from a long class and were on break before swimming. She looked at their faces, full of concern, and her chest ached with gratitude. "I know you want to help me, but this is something I’ll do alone. You’ve all done enough already. Thank you, truly."

"There’s no way we’re letting you carry this alone," Stales blurted out, unable to accept her refusal. It stung him that she thought they would step back when she needed them the most.

Angela’s eyes softened. "I think it’s better this way. You’ve been my strength since I got here. You’ve stood by me when I had no one. That means more to me than you know. So please... let’s not argue about it."

But Alex leaned forward, refusing to let her build that wall. "You should see it differently, Angela. Right now you’re in trouble, and as friends, we should face it together. Tomorrow it could be me or Stales in your position. And when that time comes, wouldn’t you do the same for us?" His voice was steady, but his eyes carried a plea she couldn’t turn away from.
