Janet propped her cheek on her palm and looked at her paycheck with a worried look.

Although she had just received her salary, it was just a drop in the bucket for Hannah’s surgery.

"You just got your paycheck today.Why do you still look unhappy?" her colleague asked, frowning.

One look at Janet told her that she was upset.

"Would you like to have a barbecue with me tonight?" Janet shook her head, smiling.

"How about next time? I have plans tonight."

"Okay.See you tomorrow."

The colleague smiled and took her bag to leave.

Janet slowly packed up her laptop.

When she was about to leave, someone patted her back.

It was Christopher.

He was dressed in a brown wind breaker, looking fresh and pristine.

He smiled at her, his eyes twinkling with delight.

"Ready to go? How about I walk you to the bus stop? What’s wrong? You look upset.Having trouble at work?"

Janet clasped the straps of her backpack and smiled.

"No, I was just thinking about something.By the way, Chris, are you free tonight? I just got my paycheck today and was thinking of taking you out for dinner."

She had already promised to take Christopher out, so she planned to invite him for dinner.She didn’t have enough money for Hannah’s operation, anyway.
