The Consortium’s Heir Chapter 178

Darius took the key. “Thank you.”

After that, he turned to head to his apartment. He stopped after a couple of steps and turned to look at Ayla. “This receptionist is great.

Ayla’s expression changed, and she immediately nodded. “I understand, Mr. Reid.”

As Darius walked out of the lobby, he vaguely heard Ayla say, “You’re doing an excellent job, so you can choose between getting a promotion or a raise. You should know that this is a special situation–if you choose to be promoted, so be it, but I’ll only give you a raise once you’ve gained enough experience to match up to your position. However, I’ll still give you all the power that comes with your position.”

The receptionist wanted to jump with joy at Ayla’s words.

On the other hand, a small smile formed on Darius‘ lips, but this didn’t stop him from heading to his destination. Just as he thought he would soon be at his apartment, he heard someone call his name.

The voice was a little familiar, but it hadn’t left a deep enough impression for him to remember. He stopped and turned in the direction the voice had come from to see a beautiful woman standing there.
