100 Days With Mr Romero

The fake clients left the bar leaving Emma and Sam behind.

“Thank You guys ” Sam appreciated them while they were heading out.

“Well done Emma” Sam commended Emma again.

“You did above average. You performed excellently. Am impressed. ” he praised her.

Emma was so excited. She immediately ran towards Sam who carried her up unconsciously. Their eyes locked and they kept staring directly into each other’s eyes until Emma felt a tingling in her eye balls which made her cast them down.

“I’m glad I met you. ” professed Sam while staring into Emma’s eyes which were downcast.

“I’m glad I met you too. ” she replied in a low tune.

Their minds immediately drifted to the kissing scene last night and Sam quickly let go of Emma. she adjusted her dress and he cleared his throat and looked the other way.

He came closer to Emma who instantly began to shake slowly. Emma was now feeling his breath on her face. He stretched his hand to her head and placed a strand of her blonde hair behind her ears.

“Unto the next CHAPTER. ” he whispered into her ears and Emma cleared her throat loudly taking few steps backwards.

“Wine tasting. ” announced Sam while Emma nodded.

“Are You ready? ” he asked her.

“Yes. ” she replied with a nod placing her bag on the bar table.

Emma looked around and noticed the place was empty. The bar tender who served her tequila with the fake clients earlier had vanished.

“Follow me. ” Sam told Emma.

She followed him closely and they went into a building behind the bar.

“This is the warehouse. ” he told her while unlocking the door.

Sam pushed the large door wide open and turned on the lights.

“We keep all kinds of liquor here. ” Sam told Emma as they walked into the warehouse.

Emma looked around and saw different sizes of barrels in different colors. She also saw a section which housed varieties of champagne in a large refrigerator.

“So all the supplies come from here? ” Emma asked.

“All bars have a warehouse. ” began Sam while walking farther into the warehouse. Emma followed behind him closely.

“Small bars and Units can share one warehouse. For instance, the club you work at in Chicago has it’s own warehouse while this particular one supplies liquor to about five small bars in this town. ” explained Sam.

He pulled a jar from the corner of the warehouse and began lifting off the covering of the barrels.

Emma noticed how he carefully selected the barrels.

“This.” he said pointing to the smallest barrel.

“The wine here lasts more than the larger ones. ” he told her.

“Really? ” asked Emma in a surprised manner.

“The smaller the barrel, the less the air that gets into it. ” explained Sam while opening the barrel

He scooped some wine into the jar he had picked.

“So we ensure that the wine we supply to our branches come from the large barrels first. ” Sam outlined.

“Do you know why? ” he asked Emma handing to her the jar of wine.

“So you can get rid of the wine that is liable to spoil first. ” replied Emma.

“Good.” Sam said.

“Now taste it. ” he told her.

Emma quickly emptied the whole content she had drank on the floor. Sam giggled.

Sam collected the jar from Emma and brought out two more jars. He poured different types of wine into the jars and placed it on the table in the warehouse. There were two stools already in the bar so Sam and Emma sat.

“That wine tastes like shit. ” stated Emma pointing to the content she emptied from her mouth on the floor.

“Not all wines are pure and that is why they get refined.” said Sam.

“look at this. ” he pointed to the one in the center.

“This is pure wine so we don’t mix it with any content. ” revealed Sam.

“How do you preserve it? ” Emma asked him stretching her eyes into the jar.

“We keep it as it is. ” he said.

“This is the most expensive wine. We package it, brand it and sell it. ” said Sam.

“This is one of the most expensive wines on earth. ” Sam added.

“Wow! ” Emma marveled.

“Since we can’t preserve it with chemicals to ensure it doesn’t loose it’s taste, we sell it as soon as we can for the longer it stays, the more it reaches to it’s expiry date. ” he explained while Emma nodded.

“Original Wine is expensive. ” affirmed Emma.

“So use it to attract the elites. ” Sam told her.

“Brand it and it will sell for itself. ” he added while Emma nodded.

“The particular wine you tasted lasts longer than the original wine. It tastes horrible but when refined, it turns out well. ” explained Sam.

“This is the wine we sell at conventional places and use it at shots. ” he told Emma.

“It is cheap and it lasts longer so, we advise that it should be serve with caution. Moderately. ” advised Sam.

“This. ” he said pointing to the last wine he is yet to talk about .

“This is a mixture of both original and treated wine. ” he said then got up to tighten the lids of the barrels.

“In business Emma. ” he told her as they were walking out of the warehouse.

“Don’t joke with your main product and ensure you never run out of supplies. ” he maintained.

“The bars and clubs I have across towns sell liquor and every liquor served is targeted at a specific customer. ” he said locking the warehouse.

“So the elites take the original wine. The average people take the mixed wine and the fully refined wine is consumed by locals? ” demanded Emma.

“Yes.” Agreed Sam.

“When running a bar business, never joke with the wine you serve your customers. ” Sam warned as they moved to his car.

“A bad drink can give your brand a bad name so in as much as you want to maintain the environment, the entertainers and workers, do not neglect the main product. ” hinted Sam.

Emma nodded in understanding.
