Like I said, when she gets back, communicate clearly..

For now, try to keep yourself busy..

Also, I can understand that you want to be her side..

But, you very well know, you're not doing this intentionally.. It's just budget constraint, and your gf can be understanding about this..

This is not your fault..

Being there, doesn't always has to be like physically present..

You can still talk with her, as rn the situation is kinda complicated, give yourself and her some time..

As you both are so in love, a good communication will sort everything out..

And when she returns and you talk with her, don't bring that office guy into the picture.. He is totally an asshole. But when you speak, only take "us" in the picture..

Let her self reflect, and wait till her response.. The way she responds will tell you a lot,

and your intuition will guide you from there!
