Natalie 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 Natalie told her that she was upset. “Would you like to have a barbecue with me tonight?”
Natalie 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.
Natalie 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?”
Natalie 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. Spending money on a meal didn’t seem like a big deal. After all, she had to return his favor.
“Yeah. I came across a new western restaurant. I want to give it a try,” Christopher suggested, feeling both surprised and flattered.
He pressed the elevator button. As the door closed, he examined her face and asked, “Is the man who picked you up last time your boyfriend?”
This question had been lingering in his mind ever since he saw Natalie with Sebastian. Even though he seemed hesitant to question her, he wanted to find an opportunity to find out about Sebastian.
Perhaps the man was her cousin, friend, or relative. After all, he didn’t look like the type Natalie would date.
The man looked like a beast and didn’t seem like the right match for her.
“You saw him the other day?” Natalie looked at him, hesitant to reveal their relationship. “That man is…”
