The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 29

Chapter 29 The next day Darius got up later than usual. He looked around the dorm room and saw that the dorm room was empty again. He laughed when he saw that. His roommates had finally decided to attend classes like normal students at last. 

He picked up his phone to check if there were any messages for him and surprisingly there was 

one. 

Darius checked the message details and saw that the sender was his grandfather‘s assistant Bruce, Curious, Darius opened the message and read its contents, 

Bruce: [Good day, Young Master Reid. This is Bruce. Your two cars have been customized to your taste and are now ready to be delivered to your new abode. Also, Mr. James is troubled by the fact that you haven‘t paid a visit to any of the companies listed under the Reid consortium. He told me to urge you to do it as soon as possible.) 1 He let out a sigh after reading the message. He could feel a headache coming on. He decided to visit one of his companies after getting a new apartment. 

He was wondering where he was going to get a good apartment when a sudden thought flashed through his mind. Wasn‘t Bruce the one in charge of several businesses before? Surely he would know a very nice apartment for him to stay in. 

Thinking so, he decided to text him back. 

Darius: [Hello Bruce. Tell Grandpa that I‘ll do that as soon as I‘m free. I‘m very busy at the moment. Also, I need suggestions for where to live. Do you know a good place for me to live?] Darius‘ phone pinged immediately after he sent the message, indicating the arrival of another message. 

Darius checked it and saw that it was Bruce who sent the message. He had replied to his previous message as soon as he received it. 

Bruce: [Of course Young Master Reid! Leave it to me! Just give me a minute. I‘ll send you the address to an apartment befitting your status!) 

Before thirty seconds even elapsed, Darius‘ phone pinged again. 

Darius grimaced when he saw that the message was from Bruce yet again. He told him to wait for a minute but not even thirty seconds had passed before he gave him a reply. 

Bruce: [Young Master Reid, I have found a suitable place for someone of your status to live in. Go to Dragon Estate. I have already informed the manager of your arrival. She will take you to the new apartment I have chosen for you.] 

Darius sighed. Bruce was just as efficient as always. It was good for him anyways. Now he didn‘t have to bother himself looking for an apartment. He would just go the one Bruce selected for him and make the necessary payments. 

He took his bath and dressed up in his new outfits leisurely. When he checked the mirror he saw that his hair looked a bit unkempt. He made a mental note to visit the salon when he was 

free.
