Later I will go home to prepare everything for tonight’s surprise birthday dinner. I took a day off and came here to study English. Originally I should be working at this time.

I will go home to prepare everything and around 6 o’clock, I will go to the subway station to wait for my boyfriend, and pretend I just worked for the whole day. Then we will go home, open the door, everything will be all ready.
