The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 49

Darius then 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. 1 

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 companies under the Reid consortium. It was the only 10 star restaurant in Greenfield Estate, a top estate in the district. 

Although the estate wasn‘t as wealthy as Dragon Estate where Darius lived, it was a noteworthy one nonetheless. 

Darius dressed up and took his elevator down to his private garage. He debated for a few seconds before deciding to use his Lamborghini. He got into his car and drove off. 

The distance from Dragon Estate to the restaurant was a bit far, as it would take Darius 2 hours to reach there if he drove at top speed. He was glad that he had his car now. If he still had to use the public transport system, it would have taken more than twice the time needed before he got to his destination. 

Darius had only driven 10 minutes into his journey when his phone rang. Without checking the caller ID he connected the phone to his car‘s Bluetooth system before answering the call. “Hello.” Darius said. 

“Hello. It‘s me, Alice.”
