(D) my boss is giving me a ride home.
Hehehe.
Now i was gonna say (e) but if he discovers that "my boss" dropped me off, he wld go off on a tangent, thinkng that there is smthing going on, and thus i omittedly lied!
With (d), it sounds like an act of kindness for the hectic day he put me thru and i see nada into it.
That is my two cents oh!
okay
being that work is going to be done by 7pm there is no need for mii to spend anytime more with my taxmaster boss so A,B,C are out of it
if the boss is giving mii a ride home as payment for being such a hard master during the day i will choose D
if not
then
but don't worry i am going to catch a cab i need time to clear my head before coming home to you, please run mii a bath tho. i love u
honestly
A,B,C are not answers that should exist if you are really in a committed relationship,
i like the way thatjust by manipulating the words in a sentence you can portray a different message
@ALL: Wow! You guys have even taken this beyond what I thot. Good insights.
The full story coming up in the next post.
Many thanx.
None of the above biko. Come and pick me up unless of course something is happening with the boss
D!
i have made arrangements for a cab
"...oh i was going to have my boss give me a ride home. I can ask him not to bother if you'd rather stop by."
@9ice: Abi o!
@Mgbeks: LOL!
@Doll: Shuo! When the guy was offering to come and pick you? Wetin cause WWI no reach dat one o.
@Repressed: The man who marries you will be very lucky. Such diplomacy!
can you wait? if you can please do.
don't like any of your options.
Why would she prefer her boss dropping her off than her husband-to be, coming to pick her.
On a second thought, maybe she didn't want to disturb him...Then D! would have been d best option
Ok, I am late as God knows what but I have to add my answer:
E.) None of the above. I would have said: "How sweet Honey, but don't worry about dinner tonight, I have something special planned for you"
Then that is in an ideal situation. :)
