Chapter 12 The First Dinner Together

• "Shirley, it's me, it's me! We used to work in the same office!" someone in the crowd urgently spoke up. "We heard that you got promoted, and we never properly celebrated for you! Tonight, we'll treat you to dinner, okay?"
• Only then did Shirley see clearly that the people surrounding her were her former colleagues from the logistics department office. They used to exclude her from any activities after work. Because back then, she had to stay behind and do their work for them. Now they were gathering here, just to treat her to a meal?
• Initially, Shirley wanted to refuse, but then she thought that Keith had gone somewhere, and maybe there would be no one at home for dinner tonight.
