Chapter 4 - Handsome Offer
I tapped gently onto the rim of my glass, watching the water ripple.
I was starting to get bored. I thought that this would be similar to what it's like in the movies.
The man sitting over there in a black suit sure looks like an actor.
It was too quiet for my liking.
I went to get up when the man from before appeared behind me.
Should I run? Some weirdo has just come up to me and told me "hello again".
Elliot Smith
I'd love to pay for your drink, if you wouldn't mind.
So this is how it all starts.
I frowned and turned towards the man, angrily snapping at him.
Stella Quinn
I'm fine, I have enough money to afford water.
Stella Quinn
I might not be on the front cover of some magazine, but I'm not desperate enough to get people to buy me drinks.
I turned around and opened my handbag to pay the bartender when I began rustling around inside, looking for my purse.
No way, did someone steal it? Or did I lose it?
Either way, how am I supposed to pay for this drink?
Elliot Smith
Is everything okay, Miss?
... but Roger wouldn't let her show up.
The bartender looked at me, his arms crossed.
Clearly he wasn't happy about this turn of events.
The man set a few bills down on the counter, which the bartender took.
Elliot Smith
The Lady's drink will be on me.
Elliot Smith
And if she doesn't mind, my boss has just opened a bottle of champagne.
Elliot Smith
All I ask for in exchange is to have a drink with us.
Wait, is he talking about the man oozing with séx appeal that made me feel flushed with a single glance?
Stella Quinn
A drink... you don't mean a glass of that $130,000 bottle of champagne?
Elliot Smith
I apologise, let me introduce myself.
Elliot Smith
My name is Elliot Smith, and the man over there will introduce himself to you shortly.
Elliot Smith
We are two men alone in a bar and wouldn't mind the extra company.
That man still gives me the chills.
He seems dangerous. After all, the more handsome you are, the bigger monster inside.
Stella Quinn
Thank you, but I must decline.
Elliot Smith
Are you not a fan of champagne?
Stella Quinn
No. I'm just not a fan of sitting with two àsshole who believe that taking advantage to a situation will lead them into getting some àss.
Elliot Smith
No, you misunderstand me.
Elliot Smith
My boss would just like to have a conversation with you.
Elliot Smith
You may leave at any time if you feel uncomfortable.
I didn't dare look back at the man who was sitting over there. The one who looked at me and made me feel strange.
How does someone have enough séx appeal to do that to someone.
Stella Quinn
Fine. For a single drink, and then I'm leaving.
Stella Quinn
And I won't accept a glass of that champagne. Who knows what you guys have put in it.
Elliot Smith
I'll have the bartender prepare you some more tonic water-
Stella Quinn
No. I don't want to owe you anything else.
Stella Quinn
Tap water is just fine.
I feel like I'm making a terrible mistake.
