The receptionist; whose name was Maureen looked at Darius again with a pleading gaze. She figured out that Darius was way higher than the manager herself in the social hierarchy therefore if Darius forgave her rude behavior then the Manager would naturally drop it. Unfortunately for her, Darius didn’t give her the time of the day. “I asked if what Mr. Reid here says is true Maureen?” the manager repeated loudly, narrowing her eyes at Maureen. “It was a misunderstanding Manager Elle. I didn’t know that you were expecting a visitor. Please pardon my impudence!” Elle begged. She saw that Darius wasn’t going to forgive her and neither was he going to plead her case to the Manager. The only option left for her was to plead for mercy herself. “So it is true then.” Manager Elle said in a sad tone. It was no wonder Mr. Bruce was very angry at her. The attitude that Maureen showed to Darius was not just unacceptable but also very unprofessional. She sighed. It seemed that she had been ver

“It’s alright, Manager Elle. I just hope that you keep a closer watch on your employees so that such a thing wouldn’t repeat itself again.” Darius said in a casual tone.Manager Elle felt a huge sense of relief wash over her when she heard Darius’ statement.“Certainly Mr. Reid. I assure you that such a thing would never happen again!” Manager Elle declared with sincerity. She vowed silently to monitor the behavior of her employees closely this time. She would never allow anyone to soil the reputation of the Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence!“That’s good to hear Manager Elle.” Darius said. “Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I think it’s time for you to show me around, isn’t it?”“Most definitely Mr. Reid.” The manager answered cheerily. “This way Mr. Reid.”The interior of the elevator was just like anywhere else in the Dragon Lord’s Imperial Residence, Luxurious. The whole elevator seemed like it was made of the most expensive materials.After a few minutes, the elevator stopp

“Do not worry about the price Mr. Reid. We wouldn’t dare demand a payment from you.” Elle said politely with a smile on her face. Darius looked at her with confusion in his gaze. “What do you mean by that Manager Elle?” Darius asked in a confused tone. Elle looked back at Darius when she heard his question. Did he really want to pay for the apartment? Mr. Bruce had informed her strictly to cater to all the needs of the guest. Surely that included the payment for the apartment. Why was Darius then asking for the price of the apartment? Unknowingly to Elle, Mr. Bruce hadn’t informed Darius about the Reid Consortium owning 95% of the shares of Dragon Estate, so Darius behavior was perfectly logical. After all there was no sane person who would inspect an apartment he liked and would not ask for the price. “I like the apartment and would like to know the price for the apartment so that I can pay for it. Why would you give such an expensive apartment for free?” Darius asked. Darius

“Here’s your meal sir.” The waitress said. However when she brought her gaze to Darius her face heated up and her cheeks turned red.“Thank you.” Darius said, dragging the table with his meal into the room before closing the door.The waitress stood motionless outside the door even after Darius had closed it. Her cheeks began to heat up as she recalled Darius' extremely attractive face, his exposed muscular chest, and his magnificently developed abdominal muscles that appeared to have been carved and sculpted by a Greek god.She let out a small shriek as several inappropriate thoughts flashed through her mind. She slapped herself lightly on her already red cheeks before making her way to the hotel kitchen. She still had several people waiting for to deliver their food to them.----Two days had passed since Darius visited the Dragon Estate in search of a new apartment. Elle had kept to her words so it took only one day for the maintenance in the apartment to be completed. When Darius

"Young Master Reid! I have arrived with your cars!"Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at the direction Darius stood.Darius' eyebrows twitched when he heard his name. Bruce's yell had completely ruined his plan of staying lowkey and avoiding attention.He sighed. Left with no choice, he turned back to where Bruce stood with Rolls-Royce and started walking towards him.“Young Master Reid, your cars are finally here.” Bruce said in a very proud tone. As a matter of fact he was indeed very proud that he had finally delivered the cars to the young master. He had put a lot of effort to make sure that only the best materials were used to customize the cars. He was very sure that Darius would love it. Darius, on the other hand, did not enjoy the situation in the least. He could feel various stares the onlookers gave him as he walked towards Bruce. He, however, ignored them. Even though he didn’t like the attention Bruce’s convoy brought, he decided to go with the flow. After a

Darius took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the caller ID as he walked towards the elevator. He saw he didn’t know the caller from the ID and decided to ignore the call. He disconnected the phone call and went up to his apartment. He went to his lounge in the apartment and sat down to relax with a glass of very expensive wine he took out from the deluxe wine cellar in his apartment. He poured the wine into a glass cup and took a sip from it. He let out a contented sigh as the exquisite taste of the wine hit his taste buds. Idle, he brought out his phone and decided to go through his unread messages. He had been very busy the previous days so he hadn’t had much time to check his messages. When he checked his messaging app, he saw that he had a lot of messages. He quickly checked the messages, but was disappointed when he read the contents of the messages. Majority of the messages were from his dorm mates who were asking him if he had truly gotten a high paying job and w

Andrew: [Darius Reid? You’re joking right? What can that poor and miserable person donate to charity for God’s sake?]Darius frowned as he read the message. He was alone at the time, sipping wine and going about his business. Why was his name being brought up again?Curious, he clicked on the message notification and was redirected to his department main chat. There, he scrolled up and read the previous messages to see why his name was being mentioned.After five minutes, he had read all the previous messages and was caught up with the latest message in the main chat.Darius had a cold expression on his face after he read through the messages. As usual, he was being looked down on by his classmates.His classmates had been discussing the upcoming charity gala in the main chat. Most of them had already picked their outfits and who they were attending the gala with.It was understandable. Although Darius didn’t like and enjoy the previous charity galas he attended, that didn’t do anythi

The days flew past with him lazing about. He was enjoying the features of his apartment a little too much. He had never been so relaxed in his life before. He had watched movies in his private movie theatre, something he didn’t usually have the luxury of doing due to his very busy part time works schedule, drank wine while watching various streams on Groove with classical music playing in the background, and ate dinner in his balcony while overseeing the whole of Dragon Estate. Life was truly relaxing these past few days. He didn’t just laze about however. His grandfather had called him several times and reminded him of his duties. Therefore he took some time to study the documents his grandfather sent him about the Reid consortium. There were also discussions and rumors about his message to attend the charity gala. Despite sending his message to the main chat and informing them about his decision to attend the charity gala, many people still found it unbelievable. Darius was a wel
