Angela: throws her hands up You know, if you made moooore, I wouldn't be stuck testing shitty apps all day!
The man sighed. I'm doing the best I can.
crosses her arms, glaring Best you say! Well, why don't you try working your ass off like I do instead of living off my hard-earned cash?
And what would you do if I did that? We'd live in poverty!
rolls her eyes dramatically Poverty?! Please, sweetheart, you're exaggerating.
Look, Angela, I get it. But if you keep going on about money, we're never gonna get anywhere.
snorts Oh, I'll get somewhere alright. Somewhere far away from you and your broke-ass existence! throws a pillow at him
He caught it, frowning. Angela, it's not like I can just make more money. This is a two-bedroom apartment, remember? My job barely pays enough to live here, let alone support both of us.
grabs her purse and storms towards the door Well, maybe you should start by finding a new place then! Somewhere cheaper, somewhere that fits your broke-ass budget!
What? Are you leaving me?
stops in her tracks, smirking Leaving you? Sweetheart, I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine.
You can't leave. This is your home too.
pauses, eyeing him with a mischievous glint Well, lucky for you, I'm feeling generous today.
He raised an eyebrow. I am too.
smirks and walks back towards him Oh really? Well, how about this, Mr. Generous? I'll stay here, but only if you agree to take on a second job.
Angela agrees and they start looking for a third job together
Hey, I didn't expect you to actually go along with this.
raises an eyebrow Well, surprise, surprise! I'm full of surprises. Now, let's get started on this job hunt, shall we?
pulls out her phone and starts typing Alright, first things first. We need to check out some online job listings.
He groaned. Are you serious? Online job listings are a pain.
rolls her eyes Oh please, it's better than sitting around doing nothing. Besides, you never know what hidden gems you might find online.
Fine. But if we do this, you have to promise not to boss me around.
laughs Oh, trust me, I'm no one's puppet. Now let's get started, Mr. Lazy Bones.
Alright. Just don't expect me to enjoy this.
snaps her fingers No promises there, darling. Now let's dive into those online job listings and see what treasures we can find.
Alright. I'll search for something related to tech.
quickly types on her phone Tech, huh? Not a bad start, Mr. Geek. Let's see what kind of gigs are out there.
He quickly typed on his laptop. Anything yet?
leans over his shoulder Hold your horses, I'm not a bloody magician! Give me a second, let me work my magic. scrolls through the job listings
excitedly points at the screen Jackpot! Check this out, Mr. Lucky Streak. There's a job opening for a software developer at SkyTech Inc.!
Really? They're hiring for that position right now?
jumps up and down excitedly Hell yeah, they are! This is our chance to strike it rich, Mr. broke-ass!
Wow. Do you think I could actually land this job?
grins mischievously Land it? Of course you can! I've got connections, baby!
Really? How did you manage that?
Angela reveals that she has a friend who works at SkyTech Inc. and offers to use her influence to help IllusiveEstuary land the job
Oh? That's great. Maybe you can introduce us.
claps her hands together Absolutely, sweetheart! I'll set up a meeting between you and my connection at SkyTech.
picks up the phone and dials her friend's number Alright, time to put on my charm and work my magic. Hi, it's me, Angela.
He sat in his chair, looking anxious. Did you get through to them?
puts her hand on her hip and smirks You bet your sweet ass I did! My friend is practically desperate to meet the perfect candidate, and guess who fits the bill perfectly?
throws her head back and laughs Oh, you betcha, love! My friend is practically drooling over the thought of having you as their new lead developer.
