The entire car was silent all the time until they reached at a high-end club. The surrounding was filled with luxurious furniture. Although the place was a little more subdued as compared to the other clubs, she could tell that it was for the upper class given the number of sports cars parked around the area.

Alyssa paused, gazing at the well-dressed people going in and out of the club. This was certainly not the place she was used to. She looked at “Justin” suspiciously, “Are we going to eat here?”

He wouldn’t be here to play, would he?

Emmett didn’t even answer her as he got out of the car, closing the door right behind him. This time, he didn’t open the passenger seat, as if he was daring her not to follow him inside.

Alyssa had no choice but to follow right behind him.

The two of them walked straight to the entrance. When Emmett stepped into the entrance, the waiter bowed respectfully. “Welcome to Golden Fountain Clubhouse.”

However, when Alyssa was about to enter, the waiter quickly stopped her in her tracks.

The attendant raised his chin and looked at Alyssa, his eyes flashing with disdain, “What are you doing here?”

Alyssa lowered her head and looked at her clothes. They were a bit shabby, definitely not high-end clubhouse worthy. But she still said calmly, “I am here for lunch.”

She was about to enter after finished speaking, but the attendant stopped her again. “Haven’t you heard me? This is Golden Fountain Clubhouse. Not everyone can enter, especially not when someone looks like you.”

He had seen too many gold-diggers coming here to look for a sugar daddy, so he wasn’t surprised that she’d try to come in. Most of those women were at least beautiful. But this was the first time he had ever seen someone so ugly! Letting someone like her inside would damage the exclusivity of the club.

Alyssa pouted her mouth. She didn’t want to go in, either.

Emmett had already gone in when he realized that Alyssa didn’t follow him. Just as he was about to turn around to look for her, he heard the waiter’s harsh words. Immediately, his face became cold.

He walked over and stretched out his long arm to pull Alyssa behind him. He looked at the attendant indifferently, “What’s your name?”

Most of the people who came to this clubhouse were either rich or powerful. So, attendants here had a good eye on the guests.

Although he didn’t know Emmett, looking at the tall and dominant figure, he knew for a fact that the man was both rich and powerful. The attendant immediately became cowardly and stammered. “Mateo…”

Hearing this, Emmett only gave him a cold glance and pulled Alyssa inside. Nobody dared to stop them now.

Emmett was tall and walked fast. But Alyssa was much shorter than him, so she was always half-step behind him. However, this time, he made sure to pace his footsteps just to make sure that they weren’t that far apart.

Although he was an unscrupulous playboy, his palms were so warm, which made Alyssa relaxed. Alyssa raised her head and looked at his broad shoulders in a daze.

Other than Hazel, this was the first time someone had protected her like this.

The sound of the elevator door opening pulled her thoughts back.
