Reimbursed 25,000 Dinner with girlfriend by EY client ✨

Last year, I was grinding away at the client's office. They're like the big shots in the textile game. Fast forward to a Saturday night, 8:30 PM, and we're finally wrapping up our work.

My girlfriend flew from Delhi and we decide to hit up this ultra-luxurious restaurant for dinner. We go all out, order everything that catches our eye, and to top it off, we decide to cap the night with this mind-blowing dessert that sets us back a solid 25,000.

When the bill arrives,I pay and then I shoot a reimbursement request to the client; stating to have a dinner with one of their major vendors, thinking it's all in good fun, right?

Well, guess what? Next day the client comes back and I receive a mail stating my reimbursement is approved! I'm sitting there, staring at my phone, thinking, Did I just stumble onto some secret business dinner expense loophole?
