Your wife may have been surprised to have received the invite, but you certainly were not, because it was well known within the company that he has a real thing for pretty young redheaded wives of his employees. In fact, his most recent two girlfriends have each been exactly that, and you knew that he had stopped dating his most recent girlfriend only a few weeks ago because she had become pregnant -- by him -- which his girlfriend had been sure was the case because (as had become well known within the company) he was always insistent that his girlfriends stop having sex with their husbands as long as he was dating them.
As a result, you were very sorry when he noticed your wife at the company party and had come over to introduce himself to her. Your fear, of course, was that he might decide that SHE should be his next girlfriend. And the truth is, she had seemed charmed by him and didn't hesitate to give him her cell number when he asked for it, and even though your wife had never dated anyone else since she married you, it was obvious now that she was attracted to him, was flattered to be asked out by someone as rich and important as him, and was eager to accept his invitation.
"Well" you said. "I guess it's really up to you. If you really WANT to go out with him, I don't want to say that you can't."
"Mmm -- you're so sweet" she then said. "I've never been on a yacht like the one he has, and I'd love to see, and spend the night, in a penthouse apartment. So since you're OK with it -- I'll tell him yes."
What then surprised you a bit was that your wife then put down her phone without seeming to have texted him a reply.
"You probably should text him back right away" you then suggested. "I'm sure he's expecting a reply pretty much right away."
Your wife then smiled at you and laughed. "Well, actually -- I already did tell him yes, even before I mentioned this to you." Then she laughed again and continued by saying "Because even if you had tried to tell me "no", it was something I was going to do."
