Maybe she has sick. So, we will tell her tomorrow.

I think she is cute and beautiful but she paid a lot for her face. She make her eyes become big and changed her nose and her jawline. She also got her eyes done. But I think she is beautiful, why she do that? She pay for a lot of money. So she wants to work harder. She has a part-time job after class. She do this job at 5pm to 12pm. She go to the bar.
