Karl's POV
The bodyguard announced me too loudly, screaming my name into the room like he was just hearing my name for the first time.
Instincts screamed for me to just push the door and step in to whatever the hell was happening behind the door, whatever was causing the quiet shuffle of feet, but courtesy demanded I wait.
Damn courtesy! I growled mildly, my jaw clenching hard.
At the slightest mention of "Come in" from the inside, I grabbed the doorknob and pushed in before anyone could stop me.
I picked up the male scent even before I looked up to find him in a room. He threw a glance my way and forced on a smile. An awkward smile, as always; the bastard was so used to frowning at the world that smiling had become a chore.
