"*PFFT* Cough! cough!* Fuck…"
"Samantha? Are you alright dear? What happened?"
Samantha took a few more seconds to compose herself after inhaling half of her drink in shock before replying to her companion.
"I am fine Zorina… Sorry, it just went down the wrong pipe."
Zorina laughed before turning to the bartender. "See, I knew she would like it, but not to the point of almost drowning herself. Here you go, go get something to clean this up while you are at it." Zorina said, giving the man a tip before he walked off.
As he did so, Samantha also stood up. "Zorina, that near choking event has just jolted my memory, I need to go and take care of something urgently, regarding my business. Forgive me for doing this, I know you have been looking forward to these drinks."
