The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53

The next few days were incredibly tough for Darius as there were only two days before the one week leave granted to him ran out. He had spent the majority of liis time in the study room going over several documents regarding the Reid consortium. However despite his efforts, he had yet to even finish 10% of the work he was supposed to do regarding the Reid consortium.

After signing one more document, he leaned back into his chair and sighed. There were still several documents arranged neatly on the table waiting for him to go through them.

He finally understood what his grandfather meant. There was no way he could handle this work alone. He had fully focused on working during the past few days, yet he had covered so little. He dared not imagine what the case would be when he resumed school. At this rate lie would not even be able to get 1% of the work done.

Darius sighed once more. He looked at the antique clock in his study room and saw that it was already time for lunch. He had worked overnight and was so engrossed in his work that the time flew quickly

He hastily took a shower before having his lunch. As soon as he was done eating, his phone pinged, signaling the arrival of a message.

Darius checked the message and saw that it was from Bruce. It was a message updating him about one of the business deals he needed to finalize. There was also a file attached to the message

Darius connected his phone to his laptop and opened the file. He spent the next ten minutes reading the documents in the file, and when he was done he let out a sigh.

He was needed to finalize the deal was between Nix Inc., a subsidiary of the Reid consortium and Numbers Int’l.

Numbers lut’I was a locally acclaimed company which was founded by Rob Bertrand. Rob had founded the company from scratch and built it into the business empire that it was today.

It was a software based company, just like Nix Inc., and many people had very high expectations for it. They had expected it to grow into a mammoth business empire that would go head to head with the tycoon that was Nix Inc. in the tech world. It had that much potential.

Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Rob Bertrand, the CEO and founder of Numbers Int’l had died suddenly six months ago. It came as a shock to the business world. Before luis death, he had held a press conference where he promised the release of an innovative technology that would change the world. Yet not even a day after press conference, he was declared dead.

Darius leisurely dressed up in his quality office outfit before making his way to his private garage. He had no choice than to put his search for a suitable personal assistant on hold as he had more pressing matters to attend to now.

He got into his Bugatti and drove off. After a few minutes, he got to the Nix Inc. headquarters.

This time around, the security guard didn’t bother to ask Darius for his identification. Darius visit the previous time had left a deep impression on him. His background and identity was far too scary for someone of his status. When he entered the main lobby of the Nix Inc. headquarters, the upper echelons came down to welcome him.

Before his arrival, they had made sure to warn the workers that their superior would be visiting the headquarters for a business deal and that they were to be at their best behavior, and anyone who didn’t obey the rules would be dismissed immediately. Such measures were needed if they didn’t want a repeat of what happened during his previous visit. As they guided Darius to the conference room, each of the workers all bowed lightly as a sign of respect to him when they walked by.

Even if most of them had no idea who Darius was, the fact that the upper echelon accompanied him during his visits not once but twice proved that his identity was far from ordinary. It was only right for them to pay their respect to him.

After a minute or two of walking, the upper echelon guided Darius to an imperial conference room. When they entered the conference room, Darius was shocked by what he saw.
