"Haha, we definitely can't afford those clothes you picked out for us!"
"Since I'm the one who brought you guys out shopping, how can I possibly make you spend your own money?"
"No way... You loaded people didn't get your money easily, so we can't let you pay for everything... How about this, to celebrate our dorm's new look and great atmosphere, I'll treat you guys to a meal!" Stephanie said.
"Pfft, Steph, do you even have any money?"
"Yeah, I do! My mom's medical expenses have been resolved, and the money I earned from my part-time job is still in my bank account, so it's now my living expenses! Just say what you wanna eat, I got money!"
"Hahahaha... Alright, I want steak!"
"Then let's all go have steak together!"
The three of them, in great spirits, left the dorm together, attracting quite a few stares along the way.
After leaving the school, the three walked toward a restaurant near the school.
Stephanie's phone suddenly rang – it was her mom calling her.
She must be asking about her situation at school. Stephanie hurriedly answered the phone: "Mom!"
At the other end of the phone, Marilyn's voice sounded upbeat as she laughed and asked, "Steph, how's everything at school? Have you gotten used to it yet?"
As expected, her mom was worried about her school life.
Stephanie smiled and replied, "Mom, I'm doing great! I even made some new friends! Gillian and I went to a friend's house together recently as well."
"Oh, that's wonderful! When I am feeling better, I'll come to school and invite your friends for a meal!"
