Sylvia wondered if she had been too horrible.

“It'll be on me, then,” she offered.

"Ah?" The head nurse was taken aback. She had just invited Sylvia to the gathering, and it would be paid for by someone else. Therefore, she hurriedly refused, “No, thanks, Dr. Sylvia. It's on me."

In the evening, after knocking off, all doctors and nurses off duty went to The Phantom Bar, which was a famous, high-end nightclub in Larro. "Delilah, you are so generous tonight. The Phantom Bar is expensive. Shall we go dutch?"

“Nah. It's on me. I hope you'll enjoy the gathering,” the head nurse refused.

She had a heavy family burden. Her husband was a regular employee of a small, private company. Besides two children, they had to take care of two elderly.

When it was her turn to treat her coworkers to a gathering before, the head nurse usually chose some less expensive places. The coworkers were amazed by her generosity this time, feeling curious.

"Delilah is really generous today."

"I hope her husband won't fight with her after she goes home later.” Sylvia followed others silently. She seemed to be a misfit in the lively crowd.

The head nurse showed them into a private box. A female doctor was close to her. Tugging her sleeve, the doctor muttered, "Are you a fool? You need to pay for the house and car loans. Why do you have money to treat us?"

"A friend of mine will pay for it. Don't worry," the head nurse whispered, "Enjoy yourself."

"What? Which friend of yours?"

“I'll tell you later.” Then the head nurse raised her voice and said to others, "Suit yourselves."

All people sat at the table.

It was the first time Sylvia joined their gathering, so a doctor boldly asked her, "Dr. Sylvia, do you have a boyfriend?"

"Hmm... No, I don't."
