"Um... well," Esmeralda said with another blush. Truth be told, she didn't know what to say. She knew cigars were supposed to be more fragrant than cigarettes and more sophisticated, but she really hated cigarettes, and went through quite a few bikinis after they became contaminated with cigarette stench. Yet she didn't want to be rude, not in front of such a handsome man as Marek.
In the far better light of his apartment, his age was apparent. He had to older than 40, but at most 50. He looked rugged and mature. And strong too. Most 19 and 20 year olds Esmeralda knew were either thin and sinewy, or looked like steroid freaks. Yet this older man looked like a male model - albeit much older and more masculine. He was old enough to be her father. Yet for some reason, she really found him attractive, and it had nothing to do with the money.
