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
When Darius entered the hotel lobby, it was still as busy as it was before his arrival. Several luxuriously dressed people were still walking about having light discussions and light laughs from the discussions.Darius attracted a lot of attention as he walked. 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
“$100,000.”There was a brief silence when everyone heard his voice. They couldn’t believe that someone was bold enough to raise the bid by twice the amount of the previous bid.Everyone instantly turned to look at the person who raised the bid that high. To their utmost shock it was none other than Darius!Darius stood still with his left hand in his pocket and a glass of wine in his right hand. His posture and nonchalant stare made him look so handsome and attractive that a few girls had red tints on their cheeks.Pearl, Janet, David, Sarah, Helen, Chad, Anna and other several wealthy figures looked at Darius with different expression written on their faces.Pearl and Janet looked closely at Darius. They both accepted that Darius was indeed very attractive, but that wasn’t the reason they looked at him. They felt his face to be very familiar.Janet Fox, the second ranked beauty in Kingston University had no idea, but she had indeed met Darius before. It was when Darius had recently
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. David felt proud when he saw many people looking at him. $1.5 million dollars wasn’t a little sum, but he could afford to spend that muc
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 was the person who donated the most at the charity gala as he spent a whooping sum of $4.1 million; therefore he was granted a one week leave by the University. Darius decided to visit some of the companies listed under the Reid Consortium after much delay. 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. He wore a suit pants and shirt with equally high quality leather shoes before making his way to his private elevator. When he got to his garage
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. What is the problem?” Darius asked the lady in a gentle voice. The lady moved farther away from the man and moved closer to Darius subconsciously. Darius was as charming as ever, with his voice very soothing. 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
Darius spent the whole day visiting various companies listed under the Reid consortium, from various top companies to various luxury hotels and resorts, including restaurants. By the time the day was over, Darius was very exhausted. He checked the lists of companies he had visited and nearly collapsed from shock. He hadn’t even visited 10% of the total companies he was supposed to visit. At this rate he would die from fatigue before he even finished visiting the companies. Perhaps this was the reason his grandfather was always on his tail and reminding him to get a personal assistant. He certainly could not do this on his own. Darius got home exhausted and stumbled into his bathroom. After taking a long shower and having his dinner, he plopped onto his bed and fell asleep. The next morning Darius woke up refreshed and energetic. He took his phone from the bedside table and checked his schedule. He only had one place to visit today before he worked on the weekly report of the compan
When Alice saw the owner of the car, she was momentarily stunned. Darius however paid her no heed and continued driving. Alice couldn’t believe her eyes. Even though he had changed his hairstyle and appearance and looked completely different from before, she could never forget him. Mr.ordinary10, the person who spent 5 million dollars to gift her and owned such an expensive car was none other than Darius Reid, the ex-boyfriend of her close friend Sarah Ginn! “Judging from the way you are gaping at me it seems that you remember me.” Darius said, not taking his eyes off the road as he spoke. “Of course I do! How could I forget you?!” Alice exclaimed. Alice remembered vividly how Darius had chased Sarah with all of his strength. It was his relentless efforts that struck a deep impression on her. She knew that Darius loved Sarah with all his heart during that period, which was why she was very shocked that Sarah would leave Darius for David. Whenever she looked at Darius when he was c
