I walked up to Lola to find Lola was sniffling and a tear falling down her face.
The moment she saw me she quickly wiping the tear from her eye and cheek and tried to fix herself.
I got to her table while she was still trying to fix whatever the gentleman before did.
I spoke with a smile, “Anyone in this seat?”
She smiled, “Just you.”
I smiled as I pulled the chair and sat down in front of Lola.
Lola sniffed, “So Max how have you been these last…” she tried to think how long it had been but I spoke, “I take it your wheeling and dealing didn’t go the way you want to?”
She sighed, “It’s that obvious?”
I nodded, “Yeah I kind of kept on eye on you since you had sat down with your….”
Lola finished the sentence for me, “Banker.”
Well at least that made sense.
I spoke, “I take it it wasn’t good news.”
