Sabrina notices Andrew waving back at him so big yay, she has been noticed by him. Of course, she is happy, she would she not be pleased to see someone from her crew here? It is always nice to socialize with them after all. Just before he turns his attention back to Tina Sabrina shows him a thumbs up, kind of like a little signal that he is doing a good job. Although Sabrina does of course heavily believe, that he is flirting with her ha!

Tina continues to attentively listen to what the man is telling her and cannot believe, that he gives her stacks of hundreds. She gives him a little kiss on the cheeks and says ''How generous. Thank you very much! You sure, that so much is ok though? Way less is more than enough for me'' she smiles.

The kiss caught Andrew off guard but he was not upset at all. After all, a young attractive waitress just kissed him. The day just kept getting better.

"I apologize I didn't have any more to give you. It's not going to set me back any and I'm happy to help invest in someones dreams. I was given the same chance starting out and am not much older than you so I know your position very well. I'm happy to help!"

It was the truth. No impure intentions or ulterior motives to be found. Being kind in this world was rare. He knew it and was sure everyone else knew it as well. The streets could be very unkind to nice people. So any chance he got he made sure to return the kindness he had been shown. 

"You said you'd like to travel. Do you have anywhere specific you've wanted to go? The world's a big place after all." 

Tina continues to keep her focus on Andrew. She does, after all, enjoy her time talking with him, so why not? Work is busy, but not so busy that shes can't take a bit of time to relax from time to time. Plus she also always has an eye on the other waiters there so, that she can estimate if she will need to break the conversation at least temporarily or not an excuse herself due to the job.

''Thank you, that is still a lot of money for me, you know. It is the first time that I am earning any money at all and then getting paid completely fine and getting this from you, that is amazing, really thanks a lot. And what place would you recommend for me to travel to?'' she asks

Arthur having just completed a small deal was looking for a drink or two.  He had seen the establishment numerous times over the last few days in his travels but was either trying to make the next score or was held up by gumshoe that wanted to shake him down.

Today was different he entered and was amazed by the layout and the lovely ladies.  Looking over he noticed Sabrina nodded his approval to her and took a seat in the corner.

After a few minutes he was greeted by a young lady and he asked for a Sidecar politely. 

The woman continues to converse with the people but mostly with Chris-Lucchese who visited her from Los Angeles, which she of course appreciated. Especially on a day like this and lo and behold another familiar face in ArthurBishop should join them in this business soon, making it three people of the same crew being in this bar together! Pretty impressive for sure.

As soon as he entered the bar, he got greeted by one of the waitresses before Sabrina also waves towards him and welcomes him. The young lady who went to his table nods and asked him if he would like to have anything else as he gets a free drink on the house.

Chris downed his Canadian whiskey and called over a waitress to order another.   He looked at Sabrina as she was waving to her crew members. She was an amazing woman yet she was serious and when she get heated she can be a bit dangerous.   Chris smiled at her as she glanced at him for a second then shook her head laughing.  Chris then started shaking his head while he smiled.  

So it's been a while since I have seen you and talked.  You ever eat dinner or do you still grab food to go and haul away in twenty different directions?   Yeah I know you like to multitask.  

The woman continues to multitask while also watching over her workforce. Observing how they are behaving, how they treat the people too. So far so good as almost anyone is doing a very decent job, which she is, of course, happy about. She also finally receives her plate of pasta along with her juice. She did not mind the wait. She prefers to wait a bit longer for the better quality!

"Been a long time indeed, it is why it is so good to see you again too. And I actually enjoy eating out nowadays rather than grab some fast food. I'm not a slow eater but certainly like to pay many different restaurants a visit" is what she mentions to Chris-Lucchese.

Chris looked at his plate and smiled as he tasted his food.  Then he looked at Sabrina as she spoke to him.  He sipped his whiskey and then told her.  

I own a few restaurants across the country maybe one day you will allow me to take you out to eat.  That is if you ever travel outside of this city.

Chris watched her chew her food slowly taking in small bites.  She was always a lady and yet she was always allusive. @ Sabrina name matched her personality.  A woman that was smart and able to get away with murder.   

The woman continues to look at Chris-Lucchese as she also takes the first fork of pasta in her mouth. It tastes pretty damn good, the small pieces of sausages enhance the flavour of the pasta and its homemade sauce which is pretty similar to the carbonara sauce. She cannot help but also take a sip of her orange juice as she looks pleased about the quality of the chef. She also listens to what Chris is telling her while watching him.

Looking into his eyes from time to time, to show that she does indeed really pay attention to him.  ''What do you have in mind as a restaurant? I am usually not too picky I like to try out new things all time.''

Chris takes a fork full of his antipasta and then smiles as she ask him what did he have in mind. 

I own a five start in New York and I one a joint called the Cotton Club if we are in Philly I own a bistro and a Casino.  If your out west I got a family style restaurant named Lucchese's and a joint called the White Rabbit and a place called the Seattle Spotlight and a few others places to eat sandwiches and a taste for the hooch. 

Chris smailed as @ Sabrina continued to nod and eat.

Jimmy was in town on business. Running a car business, he was looking to see if there was anything he could learn from some of the businessmen at Ford directly. Before trying to get the scoop on those guys, and head into his other business meetings, he figured he could make a quick pit stop for a drink. He'd heard of a fairly new bar that opened up. Word on the street was, this was the kind of place that had a theme to it. The theme showed homage to fantasy books and entertainment and what not. Jimmy had to admit, he hadn't heard of such a place, it certainly wasn't the norm back in New York, not even with the Broadway crowd. 

Apparently the taxi driver he had knew the place himself. As soon as he asked about it, the cab driver knew exactly where it was, and excitedly talked about it the whole drive there. He made sure to mention the outfits, and the surprise of the outfits. It only made Jimmy more curious to go in there and see it for himself. He paid the taxi driver handsomely. This time of year even had him in a more giving mood than normal. As he got out the cab and stood outside the bar, he took in the sight of the exterior.

Seeing the vines and stuff the overall presentation of it, made it look like it had been up and not taken care of in awhile, but if he knew the owner like he thought he did, there was a reason for it. The other reason he came for this bar in particular, was he wanted to see and give some business to his friend. He walked inside and was lucky he was already mentally warned and prepared for what he might see. Even with the preparation, he still couldn't help but to raise an eyebrow at what it was he saw on the inside.

The old school tavern look definitely was just as he heard. A true throw back to what would be seen in a fantasy play, or described in a fantasy book. The outfits the servers were wearing was interesting, and definitely eye catching indeed. He had a hard time keeping his eyes off of some of the more well endowed, female servers. Shaking that off, he finally made his way to the bar. The bartender was one of the more normal dressed people in the bar, but he still played his role in the establishment. Jimmy decided to oblige the man.

"I don't have much time, so just give me a mug of your best ale." He ordered with a slight smirk on his face.

He didn't have to wait long before the bartender served him a glass of beer. He pulled a wad of bills out of his pocket, and peeled off a few, as he handed them to the bartender. With his glass of beer in hand, he turned and surveyed the establishment, looking for his friend. It took him a little while in his search, but he finally found Sabrina. She was seated at a table eating with another man, so he didn't dare to disturb her. He held his glass up to her in a silent toast. They caught eye contact and hopefully she was able to recognize him and understand what he was doing.

As he finished his beer, he turned to call the bartender over once more.

"Tell the owner Sabrina, she's got a real fine place here. Next time she's in New York tell her I said look me up." He told the man, and handed him a few more bills.

Once his message was passed on, and his beer finished, he made his way out the door, and back out into the city to take care of the rest of his in town business.

Sabrina continues to enjoy the taste of her pasta, taking one more fork of it while also showing the waitress the thumbs up, when she is looking at her. She is signalising that all is good at the moment and that those folks are doing a good job, despite most of them practically having no experience and having lead a different kind of life before that. It was good to do good for others. Makes one much more happy than being heavily focused on oneself.

''I prefer a real dinner kind of restaurant over sandwiches. They are good to pay a visit to when I want to grab a bite to take with me, while I am walking outside if that makes any sense? But I must say... I am surprised not all of your businesses are called Lucchese'' The woman cannot help but laugh.
 

It should take a bit of time before some new customers enter the place. Of course, the word spreads quickly by word of mouth from the leaving customers, as well as those who heard rumours about a newly opened a bar that is not catered to the rich either. Of course, they can pay visit, but they won´t be treated differently in any way, and the access to it is not exclusive to it either.

After only some time the New Yorker JamesCorrolla entered the bar, after admiring the exterior and wondering who came up with that idea and of course it should be no one other than Sabrina. As soon as he enters the bar, his eyes were met by the smile of a long black haired female, wearing a short skirt and a corset-like top, as she was also wearing a witch hat.

The bartender raises his eyebrow as the man that just entered the bar told him, to give him his best ale as he does not have much time. Of course, he wanted also to treat him to an extravagant and yet expensive ale, if he always does not have much time. The first drink being on the house also helps with that. After a short minute, he gets a glass laid out in front of him with two ice cubes in it as well as the drink itself. The man looks at him and says ''A good ole Tutankhamun ale. They are quite expensive but enjoy your drink on the house, Sir and let me know how you find it. It´s a bit special in a good way for sure.''

Sabrina did not even notice him as he was only in for a short time, but she thought she had seen a man that looked familiar from further away, without being sure so waved to him nonetheless smiling before he made his way out. Nero, the bartender, meanwhile told the man ''Of course Sir, I will. Thank you for your generosity, and we hope to see you again soon.'' 

 

Chris looks away shaking his head as @ Sabrina picks on his businesses that are named after him.  

"When you own something you can call it what you want, like the Fairy Tale or the Tale or Lucchese's.  As long as you understand how it makes money and how to increase those profits then the name is what you make of it and the name Lucchese id known for quality and peace.  Its also known to be protected by his friends."  

Chris watches her as a message is delivered to her, he smiles as he knows she has a lot of friends.  He finished his meal and drink before ordering a high end brandy.  The waitress brought the bill for the last two drinks and the food he ordered.  Chris paid and gave the woman a fifty percent tip.  As the waitress smiled Chris smiled back as he put away the rest of his money.  Then he took a sip of his brandy and looked back at Sabrina.

You got a great staff Sabrina I might have to steal a few and send them to Sparks in New York.

The woman continues to listen to Chris-Lucchese and cannot help but chip in again, keep picking on the names as she finds it kind of funny as well ''Well, of course, you are right about that. It is your good right to call it, whatever you want but could you not come up with another name than your family? That sounds so uncreative.''

She cannot help but laugh a bit. She receives the message not long later and nods. It helps that she is in her hometown, her business and everything is busy due to the time of the year, so the messages are rather frequent. Of course, she also always has time for everyone that she knows. That includes the people being in a crew with her, as well as that, are visiting from further away. The waitress seems delighted and thanks to the man, as he was very generous.

''Why don´t you get your staff in New York? I am sure you also have a lot of people there, who would like to get an opportunity like this, especially the less fortunate one if you know what I mean but thanks for the compliment.''

Chris shook his head as looked around the room, then he gave a little smirk as he exhaled very slowly.  

It was a joke Sabrina I wouldn't take your staff if I did I wouldn't be a friend.  But you keep getting messages so I assume its important, if you need to step out and handle that go for it.

Chris took another sip of his brandy and smiled as Sabrina looked at one of her guy's.  

The woman continues to look at him and shakes her head. She is sometimes a bit slow at understanding jokes. More of a severe type of woman even if she, of course, appreciates humour, she fails at differentiating between seriousness and joking at certain times. She sighs before she then says ''Don´t worry. Those messages are just keeping me informed about certain businesses in town. Nothing that needs my attention right away so I can still spend some time with you'' she smiles at Chris-Lucchese.

Chris nods and smiles again.

Good I would hate to lose your company.  Now when do we dance?

The woman continues to look at Chris-Lucchese and hears him talking about dancing. She slightly tilts her head, before answering him ''Well my youngsters seem to be doing very well on their own so far. We have a dancing room on the first floor available for everyone with music playing non-stop! I am not a talented dancer, though!''

Chris looks at her and smiles as he looks at her.   Sabrina was acting shy when he knows that when they were kids she always danced around.

Sabrina you are avoiding your skills.  But I'm not going any where so you are stuck with me for now lady.

The woman continues to look at him and then adds ''Well if you want to have a dance again go up, I´ll follow you. It has, however, been a long time since I last danced Chris-Lucchese'' she points towards the stars going up.
