I’m Nikki, and I would want to share a story on how karma can require a little prodding from time to time. I couldn’t help but transform a routine night into the ideal occasion for retaliation when I saw my ex-fiance, Mark, in an exclusive restaurant with another lady.
Mark called off our engagement five years ago, saying that I “wasn’t good enough” following his promotion. He was looking for someone more cultured. Although it hurt, I went on.
Now fast-forward to last Saturday. Mark is 35 years old and unmarried and doing well. I saw him at a new restaurant. I took the opportunity to play a joke. “To Mark, who always settles for second best,” was written on a bottle of champagne that I requested the waiter to bring over. His date appeared perplexed as his face flushed.
He is allergic to appetizers, so I sent one along with a message saying, “Just a reminder of what you can’t have.” Mark found it difficult to convey to his progressively agitated date.
