Chapter 10 Turn on a Sixpence

After a busy morning, Josie stretched and looked at the time to realize it was time for lunch. Her colleagues had gone to the canteen.

“Josie, let’s have lunch together.” Alice, Josie’s colleague, called out to her.

“I’ve told you – I have no money. There’s nothing I can do to help.”
