Our second story shifts the scene to a New Year’s Eve dinner, where an engaged couple faces an awkward moment with the man’s family at New Year’s Eve dinner. Invited to join her fiancé Sam and his parents for dinner, the woman was surprised when, after a lavish meal, it was revealed that none of her companions had brought enough money to cover the bill. The bill was significant, and the woman was uncomfortable paying for everything. However, Sam’s family thought it would be no problem for her.
The woman also stood firm on her stance because this was not the first time Sam’s family had done something like this. She recounted that they had often forgotten their wallets and expected others to pay for them when they went to dinner. The woman clarified that she would only be paying for what she ate, leading to Sam’s family accusing her of ruining their New Year’s Eve dinner. Sam also told the woman that she had ruined her relationship with his family and that he was going to have to pray that they would be able to get over her act. The final story centers around two women who had been friends for a while. One woman admitted she was financially comfortable and fortunate enough to afford most things she wanted. On the other hand, her friend Acie was experiencing some financial woes.
Although Acie’s family was financially stable, they cut off Acie despite her being an only child as she had an expensive taste and entirely relied on her parents. After this, the woman began paying whenever she and Acie went out together. Acie told the woman she wanted to try a fine-dining restaurant. The woman agreed as Acie had bragged about how much money she had received from her family during a cultural festival. The woman assumed they would split the bill. When the bill arrived, Acie looked at her friend, expecting her to pay.
Previously, she would ask the woman to pay for her, but she had become so used to that that she now didn’t even ask. The woman asked her what had happened to all the money she had received as gifts during the festival, and Acie said she was saving up to buy a gold necklace. When the woman told Acie that she wanted to split the bill, Acie said she was stuck up.
Acie expected the OP to cover the entire bill since she was rich. The woman was astonished. She put cash worth half the bill on the table and then left, later learning that Acie’s dad had to come to the restaurant to pay for his daughter.
