Dead and bursting with coins, still a good employee!

Just as it was almost time to clock out.
Brian was skiving off with a newspaper in hand.
Ivan and the rest had already caught the escaped girl and were on their way back.
Rushing back overnight wasn't because they were in a hurry,
but because Ivan's credit card had maxed out.
Yep, maxed out.
Shi San was eating him into poverty.
If they stayed any longer, he figured they'd end up washing dishes abroad to pay off debts.
Actually, these guys had money, but after getting their hands on some cash, Ivan bought a lot of male celebrities' personal items—you know, the usual stuff—and then there was the daily splurging.
As for Glenn, his money wasn't wasted; it all went on women.
Due to taxation issues, people here mostly didn't have the habit of saving, or rather, didn't make a deliberate effort to save.
This left Brian somewhat amused and perplexed.
Ding dong~
The office clock chimed.
