Jack always made his wife Lora pay for their lavish nights out—steaks, wine, and fancy appetizers for him and his friends. One night, after racking up a $827 bill, he shoved it onto Lora without a second thought.
Melanie, the waitress, had seen enough. She noticed Lora’s silent suffering and decided to help.
When Jack and his rowdy friends were deep into their feast, Melanie told Jack the table was double-booked and a VIP party was arriving. Faced with losing their spot, Jack’s friends scattered one by one.
Lora suddenly remembered a fake urgent call and left the restaurant, leaving Jack alone with the massive bill.
Panicked, Jack had no choice but to pay—finally footing his own tab.
The next day, Lora thanked Melanie, ready to enjoy her hard-earned freedom.
