However, Samuel glanced at him lightly and said, "Only the members themselves can bring someone in to use this membership card."
Le Jardini had always had this rule. However, since those who could obtain membership cards were usually influential figures, the restaurant often turned a blind eye to non-members who accompanied them as they were concerned about offending important clients.
But when Yolanda mentioned she wanted to check Johnny's membership card, Samuel immediately understood her intention.
Thus, he found an excuse to block Johnny outside.
"That's impossible! You let me in the last time I came!"
Johnny felt the curious stares from the guests at the front desk and dared not look around. His face flushed with embarrassment.
Samuel maintained a businesslike demeanor. "That must have been a mistake by our staff."
"A mistake? No way… I have the right to enter…"
Johnny still tried to argue, "My girlfriend's card is my card, right? How can it not count as being 'in person'?"
"The restaurant has rules; you cannot enter."
He had little patience for someone like Johnny. If it weren't for Yolanda's specific instructions, he would have handed this matter to another staff member long ago.
Samuel, upon seeing that Johnny refused to leave, simply waved to call over the security.
"These people do not have the qualifications to dine here. Please escort them out."
"Escort them out" meant having security physically remove them.
Johnny had come hoping to show off in front of his friends by using Melina's membership card, but instead, he was being humiliated and thrown out by security. It was a complete disaster!
Even he realized that this incident was related to Yolanda.
The reason Samuel kicked them out must have been at her behest.
