Chapter 484

• The doorman wasn't a large man but he had two large assistants standing on either side of the front door. He was talking on his earpiece when he glanced over at the approaching group. His eyes passed over the women and Ben could see him dismiss them immediately. Ben didn't like that and his smile slipped from his face as they got close. The doorman's eyes looked up at Ben and a series of expressions flashed across his face. Interest, recognition, shock, and finally excitement burst across his pale features. Ben thought he needed to get outside in the daylight a little more.
• "Mr. Shepherd! It is such an honor to have you at our club!" the man gushed as he took Ben's hand and pumped it rapidly. The doorman couldn't stop looking at the scar across his face which made Ben a little uncomfortable. He'd play along if it meant he could get the girls inside without standing in the line.
• "Thank you. It's our first visit," Ben replied.
