Nobody can be too careful these days.<\/p>\n<p>We sat down, and immediately, Claire took control of the conversation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So, Ronny, where do your parents work?&#8221; she asked, her eyes fixed on me like a hawk on a mouse.<\/p>\n<p>I cleared my throat. &#8220;Uh, my mom&#8217;s a teacher and my dad&#8217;s an engineer.

Instead, she just smiled at me.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this wasn&#8217;t going at all how I&#8217;d planned! Claire was clearly only interested in my money and Denise\u2026 she could just as well have been a statue at that point.<\/p>\n<p>I was almost in despair, trying to keep my composure. Then, a mischievous idea sparked in my mind.<\/p>\n<p>If they wanted to play games, why not have some fun?<\/p>\n<p>I smiled broadly. &#8220;Oh, absolutely! Lobsters it is! I&#8217;m all about living the good life and I can see now that you&#8217;re here for a serious discussion about your daughter&#8217;s future with me, right ma&#8217;am?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She likes you very much, Ronny, and I need to ensure you&#8217;ll provide her with the sort of lifestyle she deserves,&#8221; Claire replied.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I certainly will. I earn millions every month from some investments my dad made for me when I was a kid so money is no object,&#8221; I said.<\/p>\n<p>Claire&#8217;s eyes lit up, and Denise&#8217;s jaw dropped. It took every ounce of self-control to keep a straight face as I continued my ludicrous lie.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And I&#8217;ll take care of Denise if we get married. She&#8217;ll have to look after our children so she won&#8217;t have time to work anyhow. I&#8217;m sure she&#8217;ll want help from her mom, so I will, of course, buy you a home close to ours.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>They exchanged a look that was half disbelief, half excitement. I had them hook, line, and sinker.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Wow, Ronny! That sounds incredible. Denise, did you hear that? A separate home just for me!&#8221; Claire gushed, practically salivating at the thought.<\/p>\n<p>Denise&#8217;s eyes sparkled as she leaned closer. &#8220;Ronny, you&#8217;re too kind. I can&#8217;t believe how lucky I am!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I grinned, inwardly relishing the build-up to my grand reveal. &#8220;Oh, absolutely. I believe in living lavishly and taking care of family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Claire and Denise exchanged looks, their imaginations undoubtedly running wild with visions of luxury. Claire, now more animated, began planning aloud.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You know, I&#8217;ve always dreamed of a house by the beach. Somewhere sunny, with a big garden and space for entertaining. Maybe even a pool,&#8221; Claire mused, her voice dripping with anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>Denise chimed in, &#8220;And I&#8217;d love a walk-in closet and a gourmet kitchen. Oh, Ronny, this is amazing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I kept my expression earnest, nodding along. &#8220;That sounds perfect. Of course, you&#8217;ll need to meet my other wives first. They have to give their approval before we can take our relationship to the next level.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere at the table shifted instantly. Claire&#8217;s smile froze, and Denise&#8217;s jaw dropped.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Excuse me, what did you just say?&#8221; Claire&#8217;s voice had an edge now, sharp and incredulous.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Other&#8230; wives?&#8221; Denise echoed, her voice trembling slightly.<\/p>\n<p>I nodded, maintaining a serious demeanor. &#8220;Yes, I have two other wives. They&#8217;re wonderful women. We have a big family. Unfortunately, some kids were too spoiled and had to be placed in foster families, but I expect you to have at least five children, so it&#8217;ll balance out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The color drained from their faces. Claire&#8217;s eyes widened in horror, while Denise looked like she might faint.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Five children?&#8221; Denise whimpered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This&#8230; this is a joke, right?&#8221; Claire stammered, her confidence shattered.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;No, not at all. It&#8217;s quite the lifestyle, really,&#8221; I said, trying to suppress my laughter at their reactions. &#8220;You&#8217;ll love it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Denise&#8217;s voice quivered. &#8220;Ronny, why didn&#8217;t you mention this before?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I shrugged nonchalantly. &#8220;It didn&#8217;t seem relevant at the time. But now, with all this talk of houses and future plans, I thought it was important to be honest.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Claire&#8217;s horror turned to anger. &#8220;This is outrageous! How could you lead us on like this?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I leaned back, crossing my arms. &#8220;I wasn&#8217;t leading anyone on. Just sharing my life. If you&#8217;re serious about joining our family, these are things you need to know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>When the bill arrived, Claire eyed it and then glared at me. &#8220;Ronny, you&#8217;re paying, right? After all, you earn millions.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>I smiled, leaning forward. &#8220;Oh, in my culture, women value their strength and independence. So, I want to give you this opportunity to showcase those qualities. I can&#8217;t pay for you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Their faces were a mix of outrage and confusion. Denise&#8217;s hands shook as she grabbed her purse, while Claire&#8217;s indignation was palpable.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve got to be kidding me!&#8221; Denise finally burst out, her voice rising.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Nope, not at all. This is your chance to prove your independence and strength,&#8221; I replied, standing up and placing some cash for my meal on the table. &#8220;It was lovely meeting you both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As I walked away, I couldn&#8217;t help but chuckle. Behind me, I heard them scrambling to gather their things, their flustered voices rising in the once-serene restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Outside, the cool night air felt refreshing. I took a deep breath, reflecting on the evening. It had started as a promising first date but turned into something entirely different.<\/p>\n<p>I had faced an unexpected challenge and managed to outwit them, turning the tables on their entitled behavior. It felt good.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn&#8217;t just about the small victory over Claire and Denise, but the realization that I had stood up for myself. I hadn&#8217;t let them take advantage of me, and I&#8217;d done it in a way that left them stunned and embarrassed.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes, the best way to deal with entitled people is to turn the tables on them. Denise and Claire learned that trying to manipulate someone for their money can backfire spectacularly.<\/p>\n<p>It was an epic first date that I&#8217;ll never forget, and a valuable lesson in standing up for oneself.<\/p>\n<p>As I walked to my car, I couldn&#8217;t stop grinning. This would be a story to tell for years to come. Not just because it was bizarre and hilarious, but because it reminded me of my own strength and wit.<\/p>\n<p>Life has a funny way of teaching us lessons when we least expect them. And that night, I learned that the best way to handle people who try to take advantage is to give them a taste of their own medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The satisfaction I felt from outplaying them was more valuable than any fancy dinner or expensive gift could ever be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Ronny meets Denise for their first date, he&#8217;s shocked to find her mother, Claire, tagging along.
