Sheila had arrived at the bar through the lobby entrance only a few minutes before her shift was to start. Her work uniform was just a white dress blouse (which she left the top two buttons undone) and black dress slacks. The uniform made her feel like an usher at the movies, but it wasn't the worst outfit she could think of.
Robert was standing behind the bar and glanced up as she entered. "Two guys in the corner, see if they're ready for a refill would you?" Sheila looked over to the corner and saw two guys at a table laughing it up. They were older than her, both a little overweight but not obscenely so. One was in a black suit with a full head of greying hair, and the other wore a light brown suit and was balding. The balding man was a little fatter than the grey haired man.
"Sure thing boss man," Sheila said as she headed to the table. Robert wasn't actually her boss since she worked for the hotel, but being the bartender he outranked her as far as the bar was concerned.
As she approached the table the men stopped laughing but kept their full grins and turned towards Sheila. The grey haired man looked her up and down and said "Nice to see we have a cute little blonde tending to us now instead of the guy with the bow tie."
The balding man nodded his head, "Yes, yes. And it seems like we have you all to ourselves". |
