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!

"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.

He's been so kind to us, so you should also be more attentive to him at school!" "Understood, Mom!" Sebastian hardly paid any attention to her anymore, but she didn't want to bother him either.
Nevertheless, since he arranged a caregiver for her mom and made sure things at school are taken care of as well, she should express gratitude.
"Alright, have a great twith your friends. I won't bother you guys any further." Just as Stephanie was about to hang up, Gillian grabbed her phone and said, "Mrs. Bishop, I'm Gillian.
