[QUOTE="ToughCOINS, post: 2515883, member: 20480"]I just read this thread, and am in Markus' camp. I think you may be naively drawn into a situation you will later regret. Not only could it lose you your job, but it could also jeopardize your ability to get another job after that, should you need to. I'd find a plausible reason not to spend the money tomorrow (not being able to read her mind is reason enough), and then politely and apologetically ask her husband to return the funds to her. Ordinarily it's a cop out to not return the funds to her yourself but, in this case, doing so provides the mechanism for screening the landscape for land mines. Her husband will almost certainly appreciate being kept in the loop, and determine if the intended exchange was innocent, or not. If it is completely innocent, you'll probably be approached by them again. If there is another dynamic at play however, one or both are likely to establish more professional distance from you, after which you can thank your lucky stars you didn't get involved. Good luck, however you decide to proceed.[/QUOTE]
