"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 earlier, 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?"
