With a smile, the black-haired woman said, "Call me," and then she picked up her drink and headed back to her friends, leaving Kevin smiling as he looked at the paper slip in his hands.
"That was smooth," the bartender remarked, watching the black-haired woman join her friends.
Kevin grinned, holding the slip of paper with the woman's contact information. "What can I say? I guess I was just born a charmer."
"Who was born a charmer?" a voice interrupted, surprising both Kevin and the bartender. They turned to see a beautiful older lady at the bar.
Despite some gray hair and wrinkles, her figure was as elegant as the woman Kevin had been talking to earlier.
Kevin's surprise turned to a smile as he recognized her. "Lidia, what a surprise! What are you doing here?"
"Just came back from the den," Lidia said, taking a seat near him as the bartender approached. "What would you like today, ma'am?"
