New Partner, New Case, and New Star

Luke's annual salary in Houston was forty-two thousand dollars. In L.A., it was fifty-four thousand.

Selina's salary had increased from forty-seven thousand to sixty thousand.

However, their pay rise wasn't enough to offset the increase in living expenses.

They would probably earn an annual salary of more than eighty thousand dollars in a few years, and they wouldn't need to worry about money then.

Until then, however, they would have to rely on their relocation allowance.

Selina was very frustrated because she had given her relocation allowance to her family.

Luke had no objections to that.

Selina seemed independent, but she did care about her family. Her attitude toward money was different from that of many Americans, and it was her choice to do more for her family.

Luke didn't find it odd, either. As a Chinese in his last life, he had seen too many parents and children doing everything they could for each other.
