I want to tell you an unusual story. It’s the story of a colleague of mine. For some reason she was convinced that the way to a man’s heart was through his stomach. Samantha was an excellent cook. We all gladly ate what she treated us to. Samantha always gave us very good recipes for new dishes. One night we came in for the night shift and Samantha told us about how much food she had cooked.
– And why did you cook so much food? – I was surprised.
– My husband went to see his mistress today! And I cooked them dinner and bought wine!
When I heard that, I almost fell off my chair.
– What do you mean? What for? – I asked when I came to my senses.
It turns out that this is not the first time Samantha has done this. She loves her William very much and is very afraid of losing him. He loves to eat, so she has agreed that he will eat only what she cooks. Samantha believed this would help her keep her family together. She believed that her William would walk around and still come back to her.
I don’t know if Samantha came up with it or if someone gave her that advice, but she believed it. I didn’t think it would work out for Samantha. And I was right. Six months later, William dumped Samantha. And I felt sorry for her. She had sacrificed herself for so long and humiliated herself. You’d think she’d cook for her husband’s mistress.
I really hope Samantha will meet another man who will truly love her and appreciate her. I really want to find a man who will make her happy, because she is such a good woman and a great hostess.
