Her heart nearly skipped a beat when her husband curtly asked, “And did he give you $500?”
In terror she assumed that somehow he had found out and after mustering her best poker face, replied, “Well, yes, in fact he did give me $500.”
Bill, with a satisfied look on his face, surprised his wife by
saying, “Good, I was hoping he did. John came by the office this morning and borrowed $500 from me. He promised me he’d stop by our house this afternoon on his way home and pay me back.”
