10 A New Girl Shows Up

“Hi, can we sit with you?” Said the female voice that had just interrupted Corrine and Lionel's talk

“Of course.” Corrine replied, who took the opportunity to observe the people who were asking to share the space with her and Lionel, the woman who spoke was a girl of about 24 years of age with dark hair and green eyes, wearing a jean and a short blouse that showed off her abdomen, and she had a shiny black wallet that didn’t seem anything ordinary. On the other hand, his companion was a man of about 26 years old, tall with blond hair, wearing a jean, a leather jacket, and a simple T-shirt, in the same way, he had the keys of a car that appeared to be a luxurious brand.

“My name is Katy,” said the girl, “And he’s my boyfriend, Chris.” The man only limited to shake hands with Lionel and Corrine and proceeded to sit next to them.

“Nice to meet you, I’m Larson and she is Mary.” said Lionel friendly, which was quite strange for him, although he acted that way because of how well he was having that night.

“What you did a while ago was great.” said the woman exalted, “You were making some very strange mixtures that we had never seen before in this place.”the girl continued talking admired.

“It was just a couple of tricks.” Lionel said modestly

“You are too modest with your skills.” said Corrine, who was also encouraged to enter the talk.

“I think so, you are not from Tonversil, aren’t you?” asked the girl.

“No, I came to spend a season in this town.” explained Lionel

In the moment the girl asked about Lionel's provenance, Corrine pursed her lips because she didn’t want to be asked that same question because that way her alibi in which she was a town girl could be exposed. Luckily, the girl was only interested in Lionel

“welcome to our small town.” the girl continued praising Lionel

“It’s very kind of you.” answered Lionel

“Can you make us one of those fun mixes that have fascinated everyone in this bar?” asked the girl who was dying to taste one of the famous drinks that night.

“Of course, do you have a wine preference?” asked Lionel.

“Whatever...” replied the man who had hardly spoken during that night.

“Surprise us!” exclaimed the girl

Lionel asked Corrine to order two kinds of wines, one from Lil's vintage of 1920 and another from Het's vintage of 1980. Corrine went for those liqueurs and returned quickly because she wanted to taste another of Lionel's magic blends. No more than five minutes passed when Lionel had already made his mixes

“Ladies and gentleman, give me your glasses.” said, Lionel

Once they tasted the drink, Katy and Chris opened their eyes because they had never tasted such an excellent drink before.

“You should go to my mansion.” Katy said to Lionel.

“Wow didn’t expect you are so wealthy.” answered Lionel.

“My parents and Chris's parents are famous businessmen from the computer industry, they come from this town, so we come here for some seasons.” the girl related

“It’s quite interesting.” Corrine said that she felt relieved because those boys wouldn’t have to put it in evidence because they only went for a few seasons to Tonversil.

“If someday you have a little free time they can go to my mansion, there we can sunbathe, use the pool, and if Larson agrees he can also make new mixtures for us.” the girl said coquettishly

Her boyfriend was starting to get annoyed that Katy was so accommodating towards a stranger to attract his attention.

“Honey, it's time to go, remember that tomorrow you have an important meeting with the president of the retail company.” Chris said so that he could convince his girlfriend to leave that bar.

“No, it’s still early and we’re having a great time.” 

“Larson bothers you if I invite a couple of friends who want to meet you? It seems that someone recorded you doing your mixes and you’re quite a sensation on social media.” said Katy laughing

“Of course not.” said Lionel who increasingly felt more important.

It wasn't long until two young girls came looking for the feeling of that night.

“Katy, friend, that man is on fire.” one of the girls said to Katy through the chat

“I told you, he was better live and direct- Katy answered by the same means

After a few minutes, Lionel made another couple of drinks that the new companions enjoyed. They all seemed to have fun drinking and chatting a bit except Chirs who was already tired of all the girls admiring that guy, so he urged his girlfriend to leave

“Honey, now if it’s too late, I feel a little exhausted- said the man to Katy

“Ohh love, if you feel very tired you can leave, I’ll reach you later, take the car; I’m going to ask the driver to come here for me.” was Katy's response, who refused to leave the place because she felt really shocked by Lionel. For Chris, that answer only made him angry and made him feel even more isolated than he already was, so he abruptly stood up from his chair.

“Where are you going?” Katy asked

“To the bathroom.” said obviously annoyed Chris

On his way to the bathroom, Chris only had thoughts full of rancor and disgust towards Lionel, just as he regretted taking his girl to that place. Once in the bathroom he saw a tall and muscular boy who was arguing on his cell phone in a very aggressive way with his girl because apparently he had been unfaithful with one of his colleagues, Chris stared at him for a while, and then he thought that this guy could be a good help to finally take his girl home and incidentally overshadow Lionel in front of all the assistants at the bar.

“WHAT DO YOU LOOK AT ME, PRETTY BOY?

“Nothing, just that I feel identified with you.” he replied

“I DON’T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING OF YOUR STUPID DRAMA!” the man shouted again

“Calm down old man, there’s a boy in this bar who just kissed my girlfriend and from that, I could hear from your conversation the same thing happens to you.” Chris lied

After a sigh, the man let off steam.

“If I had this guy here, I’d break his skull

“I have an idea, maybe you can't take it out directly with that guy who gave you a hard time, but you can take it out with one who has done the same- Chris said trying to convince the man to hurt Lionel

“You have a good point boy. I don’t tolerate those damn opportunists.” said the man even angrier

“I’ll tell you what the guy is and with a simple push that you give him, you will have taken it out and you will help me to overcome this terrible night.” Chris continued, “and I’ll also invite you to some drinks. Take the money.” Chris sentenced to see who had already convinced the guy.

“What's the damn unhappy?”

“That one there...” Chris pointed out to Lionel.
