It's all speculation, isn't it? Me, after that first expensive dinner
I'd have invited them to the already paid for all-inclusive resort for
the next meal. So much for "hob-nobbing" with the fancy folks. Once I
realized I was going to have to pay again for this enchanting
opportunity, I'd have invited them to dine at the resort I'd already
paid for. The bill belongs to them. Order whatever you like, you're
going to have to pay for it. Ours is covered.
