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 imp

Pearl wasn’t sure whether she’d guessed correctly. She stood up and walked to the study, seeing Darius' fingers flew over the keyboard so quickly that she could barely see them.She leaned against the door, unable to stop herself from laughing. “Do you need my help? I’m willing to help you because of the favor you did the Chamberlain family.”The only reply she got was the clicking of the keyboard’s keys. Darius didn’t even spare her a glance, let alone answer her. It made her feel a little awkward. She finally walked over to him. She looked at the monitor and said, “To repay your kindness, I’ll stay here with you until you’re done with your dissertation.”Only then did Darius look up at her, his eyes frosty. “I’m busy now, so please remain silent. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee I’ll be as mild-mannered as I am right now.”This was the first time someone had spoken to her like that. A hint of displeasure flashed across her face, but it quickly disappeared. If she were in his shoes, she’d be

Pearl opened the door, still caught up in her thoughts. When she saw the woman standing there, her eyes widened in shock.It was Elle, and she was holding a tray. She was a little unhappy to see the beautiful and attractive Pearl, but she soon shook it off. She knew her place; Darius would always be out of her league and more like someone for her to worship.Elle smiled calmly and said, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware there was someone else here. I’ll prepare another set for you.”Pearl was angry when she first saw Elle. After all, it wasn’t appropriate for a woman to knock on a man’s door in the middle of the night. However, she didn’t expect Elle only to be here to deliver food. She felt a trace of regret at her thoughts. She quickly held up a hand to stop Elle from leaving. “I’m just here to take care of Darius, so there’s no need to prepare anything for me.”Elle looked surprised. However, she quickly regained her composure and passed the tray to Pearl. “I’ll have to trouble you with this,

Darius’ first thought was to nod in agreement. But before he could do so, his gaze swept over a clock on the wall. It was already 3.00 am. By the time they were done eating, they would probably have two hours to rest. There really wasn’t much point in having Pearl leave at this time.So, he said, “You can choose to stay since we’ll need to leave in about two hours.”Pearl blushed. She looked around, then lowered her head to look at the floor. “Okay. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”Darius frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her suggestion. “I may not be the perfect gentleman, but I won’t allow a woman to sleep on the sofa.” He then turned to walk to the sofa, but he heard Pearl running after him.He stopped and turned around to face her, her face was red with agitation. “Please, let me sleep on the sofa. I’m here to repay you for saving my family’s company, so there’s no way I’ll let you sleep there.”Darius glanced at the clock and decided not to argue with her anymore. “As you wish.” He walked o

“You know, that reminds me—I was there when it happened. Pearl definitely detested Darius, but here she is, coming to university with him. It must be because of his sudden wealth.”“I would never have expected her to be someone like that. She’s the third prettiest woman in our university!”A man standing silently nearby suddenly said, “I have a different point of view. If even someone like Pearl’s starting to hang around him, just think about how rich he really is!”Darius stopped walking and put a hand in his pocket. An ugly look crept onto his face. He didn’t understand why Pearl had fled earlier, but he now did. Once rumors started flying around about them, it wouldn’t be an easy feat to prove their innocence.However, the matter with the Gillette family had yet to be resolved. He couldn’t act like he didn’t know what was going on. So, he amplify his voice to the point that everyone present could hear him. “I’m chasing Pearl. We’re not officially together yet, but I hope you don’t sprea

Darius kept his eyes trained on Ward so he caught the resolution in his eyes. He didn’t say anything else and merely looked into Ward’s eyes.Ward was uncomfortable with the way Darius was watching him. His gaze was filled with helplessness and disappointment. However, he didn’t have a choice.He figured that since Darius had already tracked down his family, he was probably already privy to much information. So, he allowed himself to drop the mask of anger as he looked at Darius, revealing his guilt and regret.Darius didn’t know what was happening, but he could hear the officials’ custom-made leather shoes tapping against the floor. He looked at Ward with a poker face and said, “Professor Plinsky, they’re coming, and I’ll go with them.”Ward stared at his favorite student. As he watched Darius leave, he knew that this was the end of their relationship.Darius could sense that Ward still had plenty to say to him. So, he walked slowly. He told himself to give Ward one last chance—if Ward had

Darius nodded. This was the best option he had right now.When the official saw that he didn’t mind, he finally felt at ease. He now knew how wealthy Darius really was, and it wasn’t something that he could even begin to imagine. However, because of his job, he had no choice but to treat Darius like this, despite his reluctance.Under such circumstances, it would be hard to prevent Darius’ impression of him from turning sour and, in turn, taking action to vent his frustrations. The official couldn’t think of any way to make this situation better.Soon, however, something worse occurred to him. Judging from Darius’ attitude, it would piss him off even more, and it wasn’t something the official wanted to see. He started feeling anxious again, but there were no other alternatives. If he were to keep this from Darius, it would probably only make him angrier. He kept shifting around, and both Darius and Ward noticed this.Ward looked apologetic again. “I’m sorry about this mess. There’s somethi

The official couldn’t help but tremble. He’d been watching Darius closely, but he still didn’t manage to catch what exactly he’d done. Now, all he could see was Darius holding two fingers up and his colleague sprawled on the floor. He knew that he didn’t have a choice.His hands trembled as he pulled out a pair of handcuffs, which made them jingle. He reached out to put them on Darius but couldn’t even bring himself to look at him. He held the handcuffs out for a while, but Darius didn’t show any sign of moving. His hands were still in his pockets, and he looked at the official with displeasure.The official knew this, and his mind started to race. He had to think of a way to resolve this as soon as possible without offending anyone. Otherwise, he would probably end up worse off than his colleague. This wasn’t a consequence he could bear.So, he tucked the handcuffs away and looked at Darius, deciding to appease him. “Darius Reid, you’re very smart, and you should know what the right choi
