The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 170

Darius didn’t want to spare Frederica even a single look. He could see her excitement and intentions, especially when her gaze was trained on him. He wanted to leave, and so he did.

He didn’t expect her to appear before him and stop him from leaving. He sighed. “Is there anything else. you need from me, Miss Kuster?”

Frederica’s face became nervous when she heard him address her so formally. She started to tremble and sounded nervous as she said, “Mr. Reid, I want to buy you a meal as thanks for sharing some of your wealth with me. I’m also grateful that you didn’t ask me to repay you in any way, not even with my body.” She bowed her head.

Darius was unmoved. He knew what she meant, but he wasn’t interested. Therefore, he said coldly, “I’m not going to eat with you, and I have my reasons. Firstly, I need you to repay me–by achieving what I wanted you to. Secondly, as I said earlier, I don’t have much time.”

When he was done saying what he wanted to, he didn’t move. It wasn’t because he didn’t want to- Frederica didn’t seem to show any intention of budging. He sighed and started to look disappointed. “I honestly wanted to help you because you’re a smart woman.”

He was about to summon the security guards to do their jobs when Frederica spoke up. “I’m sorry, and I didn’t mean to make you mad. I really just wanted to thank you, but I’ll leave now that I know you’re offended.” After that, she fled.
