My Hot Professor Is An Alpha

Arwen glanced at the clock on the café wall, which showed that it was 10:30 a.m.

Half an hour before her shift ended, and there were still customers.

Her small hands, wrapped in plastic gloves, moved nimbly to prepare a regular customer's cappuccino order.

"Thank you for waiting," she said politely, placing the cup on the tray.

At 19 years old, Arwen was already used to this exhausting routine.

Arwen worked part-time at Lionel's family café to pay for her college tuition, even though the scholarship she received was enough to cover her educational expenses.

The long-haired girl strongly believed that every struggle must be rewarded with one's sweat.

The back door of the café opened, and Lionel entered with a relaxed gait. At first glance, the young man glanced at Arwen and smiled seductively.

The tall, athletic young man always caught the attention of many people, especially with his charming smile.

As the captain of the rugby team at their college, Lionel's natural charisma often made him the center of attention.

However, Arwen knew better who Lionel was. She saw another side of Lionel that was not so charming-his careless and overconfident attitude.

"Look who's been working hard today," said Lionel with a smirk, approaching Arwen at the cash register.

Arwen didn't respond. She just nodded briefly before returning her focus to the cash register.

"Lionel!" Mr. Donovan's deep voice echoed from the back room.

Arwen looked up. Mr. Donovan, Lionel's father and the café owner, was walking quickly toward her, his face red. He was carrying a small notebook in his hand.

"Come here now!" he ordered sternly.

Lionel, who had looked relaxed, suddenly stiffened. He followed his father into the back room, and a few seconds later, the sound of an argument could be heard.

"You think I don't know, Lion?!" Mr. Donovan shouted.

"What do you mean, Dad?" Lionel's voice sounded confused.

"Money is always missing from the cash register, and I know you took it! Some witnesses saw you!"

Arwen felt her body freeze. She knew the conversation had something to do with her.

A few days ago, Mr. Donovan had asked her to watch out for anything suspicious secretly.

Without meaning to accuse anyone, Arwen honestly said that she had seen Lionel take money without telling anyone.

However, she didn't expect that statement to cause such a conflict.

"Dad, you believe such slander? Who is the witness?" Lionel's voice sounded angry and demanding.

Arwen felt her heart beating faster. She glanced toward the kitchen, hoping the argument would end soon.

But the sound of heavy footsteps approaching made her jump. Lionel came out of the back room, his face red, and his eyes immediately fixed on Arwen.

He didn't say anything, just stared at Arwen with a sharp gaze that made the girl feel like she had been caught red-handed.

The sharp gaze made Arwen break out in a cold sweat. Accompanied by her heart beating rapidly.

A few moments later.

Arwen wiped the
