What was meant to be a casual evening turned into a nightmare when Stewart\u2019s credit card was declined and the manager threatened to call the police. \u201cJess, you gotta meet this guy,\u201d Adam said, sprawled out on the couch and flipping through TV channels. \u201cStewart. Works with me. Real stand-up guy. Stable job, nice car, the works.\u201dJess barely looked up from her laptop. \u201cWho\u2019s this guy?\u201d \u201cStewart. Trust me, he\u2019s different. You\u2019ll like him.\u201d \u201cAnother setup?\u201d Jess asked, rolling her eyes. \u201cNo, seriously. He\u2019s asking about you. I think you two will hit it off.\u201d Jess sighed, her skepticism palpable. \u201cAlright, but if this turns out to be another dud, I\u2019m never listening to you again.\u201d \u201cDeal. You\u2019ll thank me later,\u201d Adam said with a smirk. After hours of getting ready, Jess\u2019s apartment looked like a tornado had struck.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>But Adam\u2019s encouragement had her convinced to give it a shot. Stewart arrived in a sleek, shiny sedan that reeked of newness. Jess slipped into the passenger seat, the clean leather and quiet hum of the engine a stark contrast to her nerves. \u201cHey, Jess,\u201d Stewart greeted with a warm smile. \u201cNice to meet you.\u201d \u201cNice to meet you, Stewart.\u201d \u201cThought we\u2019d go to this new place downtown. It\u2019s fancy, but the food\u2019s incredible.\u201d \u201cSounds good,\u201d Jess replied, trying to hide her surprise at the upscale venue. The restaurant was a picture of luxury, and Jess felt out of place. Stewart, however, was in his element. He led her to their table with ease and confidence.\u201cOrder whatever you like,\u201d Stewart said, dismissing Jess\u2019s hesitation over the expensive menu. \u201cThanks,\u201d Jess said, feeling a bit relieved. The evening started smoothly. Stewart was charming and engaging, and Jess found herself laughing more than she had in a while. Then the bill arrived. Stewart handed over his card with a flourish, but the waitress returned, her expression uneasy.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/newsc72.com\/?p=624\">\u2014>>>PRESS HERE TO READ FULL STORY<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When Jess was set up on a disastrous date with Stewart, it quickly spiraled out of control at a swanky restaurant.
