He Gave Her My Eyes A Story of Final Sight novel Chapter 235

The club manager was a pro at reading people. The moment he noticed Teresa’s eyes lingering on the last guy who walked in, he jumped right into his pitch, smiling like he was about to make the sale of his life.

“You have great taste,” he said cheerfully. “Felton’s new here. He’s not just good-looking, he actually knows how to treat people right. Lots of regulars specifically ask for him.”

Helena let out a sharp gasp, her words stumbling over each other. “Teresa… isn’t that Felton?”

It really was Felton.

Just a week ago, Felton had shown up in Veridian to make trouble for her. Now, after only a few days, he’d ended up working as a club host.

Teresa didn’t say anything. Her face just fell, all the warmth draining away.

Felton looked even worse, like he was hoping the floor would open up and swallow him.

Helena, though, got over her shock fast. She pointed right at Felton. “Felton, right? We’ll take him.”

Felton’s head shot up. He glanced at Helena, then locked eyes with Teresa, staring at her with so much intensity it almost hurt to look at him.

He looked like he wanted to tear her apart.

The manager grinned even wider. “Felton, you’ll stay and keep these two lovely ladies company.”

Felton grabbed the manager’s arm and muttered, “Can I say no?”

The manager’s smile faded. He lowered his voice, all pretense gone. “What’s your problem? These two are young and pretty. Would you rather be stuck with the older clients? The others would kill for this. Don’t tell me you’re actually refusing.”

Felton’s jaw clenched so tight it looked painful. “Then I quit.”

The manager’s eyes bulged. “You…”

Before he could finish, Teresa cut in. “Not him. We want someone else.”

She finished her drink. The host sitting next to her, Malloy, immediately leaned in, reaching for her glass with a practiced smile. “Want another, gorgeous?”

No wonder rich women loved these guys. Malloy could charm just about anyone.

Teresa kept her face blank, her voice casual. “How long has Felton been working here?”

Malloy paused, thinking. “Four, maybe five days? Thing is, he’s always got this sour face and acts like he’s too good for the job. He never tries to please anyone, and he’s super picky about clients. Honestly, his business is terrible. You made the right choice picking me. If you’d picked him, you probably would’ve wanted to switch halfway through.”

Helena rolled her eyes. “He still thinks he’s some big-shot rich kid. Ridiculous.”

After Helena’s jab, Teresa pressed on. “Do you know why he ended up working here?”

Malloy’s shirt was unbuttoned low, showing off abs she hadn’t expected from someone who looked so clean cut.
