If the man was embarrassed, Mason wasn't paying enough attention to notice. He followed him into the bar towards were Mr Bates was, as he began flipping to the front of his notebook, attempting to find his pre-written greeting.
Once he found it, he approached Mr Bates and the other guy that was there and held out his right hand to shake and his left hand with the notebook, which said, Hello, my name is Mason Rhodes, nice to meet you.
He then thought about what Mr. Bates said. It has been a while? When was the last time? Maybe Mason had met him before, he had always been terrible at remembering names and faces...
Eh, he probably just forgot him. More than likely.
