Clarence stared at him without any expression, “I am married.”

Elaine looked like she didn’t buy his reasoning, “Then why aren’t you here with your wife?”

“She’s looking after our kid.”

“This is getting ridiculous. You don’t even look like a married man. Anyway, I don’t believe that.” Elaine pulled his arm as they moved forward, “Get going. Aren’t you looking for Darnell? He’s just up ahead.”

Clarence pulled back his arm and said with a chilly tone, “Walk properly.”

Elaine pouted again, but she didn’t respond with any words. She led her into a small courtyard just ahead of them.

In that courtyard, two fully-suited bodyguards were flanking the entrance.

Upon seeing Elaine, they simultaneously nodded and greeted her, “Miss James.”

Elaine had her hands behind her back as she asked, “Where is Darnell? I need to see him.”

“The young master is just inside. You can come in, Miss James.” One of those men replied as he studied Clarence who was behind her, “He can only wait here.”

Elaine said, “He’s my boyfriend, so why can’t he go in with me?”

The man simply said, “Miss James, you know the young master’s style. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Elaine’s face visibly darkened, “Then do you know my rules?”

The two men maintained their stance, “You’re the only one allowed to enter, Miss James.”

Elaine stomped the ground furiously, “You…”

Clarence checked the time and was getting impatient. He proceeded to enter the courtyard with his legs striding forward.

The two men exchange a subtle glance before standing in Clarence’s way.

Clarence hesitated in his steps but his tone was demanding and cold, “Get out of the way.”

“You can’t go in.”

Clarence didn’t heed them at all as he continued to march forward.
