Normally when I did this kind of conversation, these kind of lines would grab them hook, line, and sinker. As soon as they express interest, I would start to walk away and they would have to chase after me. From there, I would have an advantage in steering the conversation and they would assume that I have more information than I really have.
Instead, I was awkwardly standing up from my table as I waited for him to react. He just flipped his newspaper nonchalantly at my declaration. Was he really that unaffected by my news? That means he was more experienced than I thought he was, or he just didn’t care it. When he pulled out a piece of paper, I thought he was taking out a cipher. However when I saw how he was looking at the sports section and his slip back and forth, I realized… He was just checking out his bets.

So I decided to cut my losses, I started walking away and move to a table out of his earshot. I’ll settle for receiving nothing and barely giving anything away.
Hopefully, Rachel comes by with the food soon so I can just start working. Well low key information gathering on everyone here, but I am going to be cleaning things properly so this should work out.
