The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78

The following days were peaceful for Darius. Helen still refused to pick his phone calls or reply his texts, leaving Darius at a loss on what to do. Since the matter with Luke had been settled, he then focused on his studies. The second semester exams were fast approaching and he needed to pass effortlessly.

After two weeks of intense studying and preparation, the semester exams came to a conclusion. As expected, Darius was the best student in the exams when the result came out, Darius had an apathetic response to that. He had always emerged as the best student in all the exams he had taken since he got admitted to Kingston University, so this time wasn’t any different to him. 1

Now that the exams were over, the students were given a two months break, before they resumed school for the next semester. This meant that when school resumed for the next session Darius would be in his final year of study.

The whole student body was bustling with excitement after seeing their results. Majority of the students in Darius Business Management department had passed the exams with ease, therefore explaining their joy.

They were even happier at the two months break that was given to them. They started discussing among themselves about the plans they had for the break.

They made mention of several luxurious restaurants, entertainment villas and tourist attractions.

Darius listened in on their conversation as they discussed. Their discussion made him recall that he didn’t have any plan currently. Just as he was thinking of what he would do during the two month break, his phone rang.

He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Erin, his personal assistant. He quickly answered the phone call and placed his phone to his ear.

“Hello, Mr. Reid.” Erin said professionally.

“Yes, Erin. Is anything the matter?” Darius asked.

“Mr. Reid, regarding the West Atlantics Int’l acquisition, there are several documents that you have to sign personally before we proceed.” Erin answered. “Alright. I’ll head over immediately.” Darius replied before disconnecting the phone call.

He walked briskly to where his Bugatti was parked, as he hadn’t retrieved his Lamborghini from maintenance shop. He got into his Bugatti and drove off from the parking lot, eliciting iooks of admiration and envy from the few onlookers present,

He switched on his car inbuilt GPS system and input the location for his new company, following it closely.

The journey was without incident. When he arrived at the former Erihal Group Headquarters building, he parked his car neatly in the parking lot.

He got out from his car and looked around the headquarters. It was incredibly deserted. Not a single soul was present outside the building,

Darius knew who the caller was the moment he heard his voice. It was none other than his grandfather!

“Grandfather.” Darius answered in a surprised voice. He had no idea why his grandfather suddenly called him.

“I heard about your acquiring of the Erihal Group.” Darius’ grandfather said.

Darius was a bit shocked at his grandsather’s statement. It had not been long since he purchased the group, and the transaction was very low-key, yet the news had already reached his grandfather. It was indeed a bit scary.

“Yes. I felt it was a huge waste to let the company die out, so I purchased it and registered it under my name.” Darius answered,

There was a brief moment of silence, before his grandfather spoke up. “Alright. I’ll like to discuss with you about that. I’ll be meeting you at the company location.” Darius instantly declined his grandfather’s suggestion. He felt his grandfather was too old to be moving around recklessly and was worried for his grandfather’s health. “I’ll drive to meet you now!” Darius said hurriedly; however, his grandfather was having none of it.

“Nonsense! I’m already on my way! Just send me the address!” his grandfather insisted adamantly. Then he hung up the phone without even waiting for Darius to respond.
