C
It was a Friday morning and a young man finally decided to ask his boss for a raise. Before leaving for work, he told his wife what he was about to do. All day long, he felt nervous. Finally, in the late afternoon, he talked to his boss, and to his delight, the boss agreed to the raise.
The husband arrived home happily, and was surprised to see a beautiful table set with their best china and lit candles. The food on the table smelt great. He thought that someone from his office had called his wife and told her about the good news.
Finding his wife in the kitchen, he shared his good news with her as soon as he could. They hugged each other and danced around the room before sitting down to have the wonderful meal. Next to his plate, he found a note that read, “Congratulations, darling! I know you'd get the raise! This dinner is to show you how much I love you.”
Later, on his way to the kitchen to help his wife serve the dessert, he saw another card that had fallen from her pocket. He picked it up and read, “Don't worry about not getting the raise! You should get it anyway! This dinner is to show how much I love you!”
