Chapter 81
“Let’s go in, and you’ll find out.”
Before Matthew and Rachel arrived at the door, they saw Jeffrey walking out of the club.
With a grim expression, Matthew remarked, “Who would’ve thought he’d be waiting by the door.”
Rachel calmly said, “I guess the staff in the club told him of my arrival. The service here is superb.”
Matthew was still skeptical, but then he saw the doorman speaking to Jeffrey, gesturing toward them.
With that, Matthew took Rachel at her word. When they arrived at the parking lot carlier, someone must have notified Jeffrey.
Matthew suddenly started to find the club interesting.
Jeffrey approached Rachel. “Rachel, my old classmate, you’re finally here. I invited two other friends to join us today. It’s great to see you again.”
Rachel politely responded, “Sorry to keep you waiting.”
Jeffrey coldly glanced at Matthew, then acted like the latter wasn’t there. He led the way for Rachel. “Let’s go inside.”
With a blank expression, Matthew walked alongside Rachel.
As they reached the entrance, the security guard extended his hand to stop Matthew. “Sorry, you have to be a member
or be invited to enter.”
Matthew was taken aback. “What?”
Standing to the side, Jeffrey mocked before the security guard could explain, “We’re at Opulent Club, not some random shabby place, Matthew. Only influential people can enter. As a chauffeur, you don’t belong here.”
Matthew thought about acquiring a membership just then when Rachel flashed her card. “I’m a member. I can invite him inside.”
The security guard shook his head. “You’re a guest, so you can’t bring someone else in.”
Rachel was taken aback. “What’s the difference?”
The security guard said, “As a member of the second floor, you have to make an appointment four hours in advance to bring someone in.
“However, since you’re a guest, you’re only allowed to enter Jeffrey’s reserved room. That means you can’t bring anyone else into the club.”
Rachel was caught off guard. She didn’t know about this rule and felt troubled,
Jeffrey commented, “We’re here to talk business, Rachel. The chauffeur doesn’t belong here. Have him wait outside,” Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Rachel shook her head. Matthew was more than just a chauffeur to her, and she wouldn’t treat him like any other staff member.
She took out a bank card and approached the guard. “I’d like to get a membership.”
Upon seeing this, the security guard politely gestured. “This way, please. We’ll take care of it in the reception area.”
After saying that, the security guard led Rachel to the lobby.
Latthew didn’t know things would get complicated. In truth, he’d already lost interest in entering but didn’t stop. Rüschel from getting a membership.
After Rachel left, Jeffrey walked up to Matthew and scornfully sized Matthew up. “Have you not realized the gap between us? I get to enter the club, while you can only stay at the door.”
Matthew’s mouth twitched at that. “Do you think I want to be here? If it weren’t for Rachel, I wouldn’t have bothered.”
Matthew had ten billion dollars in his possession, so the membership fee was nothing to him.
That said, he wasn’t a fan of stifling rules. Spending money only to be restricted by the club’s rules made him lose interest altogether.
With a disdainful look, Jeffrey commented, “Stop acting tough when you don’t belong here. You’re just a chauffeur and a poor guy from the bottom. Know your place.
“Rachel and I are from high society. You don’t have what it takes to be in our circle. Even when you’re living off her, you won’t make it.”
Matthew’s expression turned grim. He didn’t want to get involved with Jeffrey, but Jeffrey kept hounding him and looking for opportunities to humiliate him.
Watching Jeffrey with his nose in the air, Matthew decided to get under his skin. “You’re making a big deal out of nothing. I don’t even need to enter the circle to live off her. It’s a sweet deal, and I love it.“”
