I'm flattered, but...
lunchtime in a pub near Covent Garden, where an old
gent chats me up in style; but having drunk
my pint I beg his pardon...you're successful in
the City..? that's nice, I smile...

he did manage to finish
a pint
he didn't have to pay for(?):/
(my apologies if i misinterpreted your intended meaning)
Next pint--my treat! LOL! :) Sla'inte!!!

oh, I see...he was trying to impress me
with how successful he was in the city,
how well off he was, as a selling point...
I found it charming and, as I said, flattering...
but thought it best to leave without hurting
his feelings...

LOL! OOOooops! My bad!
. . . And i was imagining a scene in a crowded pub...a bit of lunch time crazy chaos...and as you are politely,granting him your undivided attention....
Welll...'seemingly' un-noticed, he simply takes advantage of the entire situation....and finishes your pint! :P

probably my phrasing and the
rather old fashioned English
idiom I've employed will cause
some confusion..:)
