Speaking exercise

I have a very close colleague. We have a group in our company. A girl, she came from Stanford University, she’s my colleague, we’re quite close to each other. This monday, she put certain of people in a group, she said, wednesday is my birthday, would you guys like to have a dinner together. She put 10 people in the group. She decided where we go, she came from Beijing, so she decided to go to QJD. After finishing daily work, we 10 went to QJD. After we having all our dinner, she just split the bill. You invited us to QJD, you never asked us. I was confused. It’s not about money, I was a bit annoyed. She ordered all the food according to her preference.

I bought her a very expensive toy.
