阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。
A
While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous as he thought about the upcoming showdown（摊牌）. What if Mr. Larchmont refused his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and succeeded in winning a contract which was difficult to get for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course , he should get a salary raise.
The thought of walking into Mr. Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally brave enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise , the ever-frugal（一贯节省的）Harvery Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening---despite breaking all city and state speed limits---to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had told her the news.
