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

[Sky Golden Hotel; 7:30 pm] The Sky Golden Hotel, the best hotel in the district was extremely busy. Several people dressed in black and white uniforms walked about busily attending to various tasks inside the hotel. The hotel was luxuriously decorated, more so than it usually was. Beautiful chandeliers were hung up on the equally luxurious ceilings. The floors of the hotel were polished to perfection, reflecting the light from the chandeliers. It wasn’t only part time staff that could be seen moving about. Several people dressed in very luxurious attires walked about the hotel lobby, taking occasional sips of wine that were served by the waiters and waitresses in the black and white uniform.

Several people dressed luxuriously also gathered just outside the entrance to the hotel lobby. Most of them were just arriving with their equally expensive cars,

Everyone instantly turned to look at the figure who alighted from the stylish sports car. The car itself was so intimidating. They immediately knew that the owner was definitely not an average person! When the figure fully alighted from the car, everyone’s jaw instantly dropped. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The figure was very handsome, with masculine features and a very attractive face to boot. His three piece suit was impeccable and so was the diamond Rolex wristwatch on his wrist. The figure was none other than Darius Reid. “Woah! So handsome!” “Is he a student in either of the universities?” “I don’t know. Although he looks very familiar, I’m sure that I haven’t seen him somewhere before.” “He must be someone very important that’s for sure!” While others were still struggling to remember if they had seen or met Darius before, Sarah was studying the new rich newcomer closely. Although she was taken aback by how attractive he looked, she couldn’t shrug the fee

Many people already heard of his dramatic and classy arrival from their friends who were outside when he arrived so the stares of surprise they gave when they saw him was natural.The students of Kingston University however where rendered speechless when heard about his arrival. The Darius Reid they knew was poor and could barely afford good clothing, so their shock when they saw him in the hotel lobby dressed very classy was understandable.“Is that really Darius Reid?” Someone asked, his tone laced with disbelief.“I’m sure it’s him!” Someone replied.“But he looks so different.”“It’s him. I’m in the same Business Management department with him so there’s no way I could be mistaken. I’m one hundred percent sure that it’s him

1 million dollars?! Everyone turned to the person who made such a ridiculous bid. Of course, it was none other than Darius Reid! Darius took another sip of the wine from the glass cup in his hand, but his gaze was fixed on the wine on display, ignoring the stares he got from other people. However unlike the first time when he bid $100,000 for the painting the others didn’t back down this time. This time around the bigshots were involved in the bidding war. “$1.1 million!” Someone shouted a few seconds after Darius raised the bid. “$1.15 million!” Another person counter bid. “$1.2 million!” “$1.3 million!” “$1.5 million!” There was a brief pause immediately they heard the bid. 1.5 million dollars? Wasn’t that a bit too much? Everyone turned to face the person who made the bid. This time around it was David Lesley who placed such a high bid.

Darius woke up later than usual the next day. It was expected as the charity gala had ended later than he expected. However Darius wasn’t bothered.

He spent the days before the charity gala reading through the documents his grandfather sent him regarding the Reid consortium. He hadn’t gone because he had to take care of pressing needs and didn’t have enough time, but now that he was given a week off by the university, he finally had enough time for himself. Darius had a quick shower and an exquisite breakfast. Since he was going to visit a company today he decided to dress officially.

The male ceased his actions and turned to face the intruder who interrupted him with a frown on his face. “What are you doing right now? Don’t you have work to do? Or are you tired of working here?” The man asked the intruder angrily. Darius, the intruder scowled when he heard the man’s question. The man had mistaken him for a worker here and was using his authority to chase him away. It meant that the man was up to no good. Darius ignored the man’s questions and walked towards the lady in question. The lady had a look of relief on her face when someone appeared in the secluded area. “Hello.

His masculine features provided the lady with a sense of security hence the reason why she moved closer to Darius. “This man is the problem!” The lady answered, pointing her fingers at
