"Young Master Reid! I have arrived with your cars!"Everyone immediately stopped talking and looked at the direction Darius stood.Darius' eyebrows twitched when he heard his name. Bruce's yell had completely ruined his plan of staying lowkey and avoiding attention.He sighed. Left with no choice, he turned back to where Bruce stood with Rolls-Royce and started walking towards him.“Young Master Reid, your cars are finally here.” Bruce said in a very proud tone. As a matter of fact he was indeed very proud that he had finally delivered the cars to the young master. He had put a lot of effort to make sure that only the best materials were used to customize the cars. He was very sure that Darius would love it. Darius, on the other hand, did not enjoy the situation in the least. He could feel various stares the onlookers gave him as he walked towards Bruce. He, however, ignored them. Even though he didn’t like the attention Bruce’s convoy brought, he decided to go with the flow. After a
Darius took out his phone from his pocket and looked at the caller ID as he walked towards the elevator. He saw he didn’t know the caller from the ID and decided to ignore the call. He disconnected the phone call and went up to his apartment. He went to his lounge in the apartment and sat down to relax with a glass of very expensive wine he took out from the deluxe wine cellar in his apartment. He poured the wine into a glass cup and took a sip from it. He let out a contented sigh as the exquisite taste of the wine hit his taste buds. Idle, he brought out his phone and decided to go through his unread messages. He had been very busy the previous days so he hadn’t had much time to check his messages. When he checked his messaging app, he saw that he had a lot of messages. He quickly checked the messages, but was disappointed when he read the contents of the messages. Majority of the messages were from his dorm mates who were asking him if he had truly gotten a high paying job and w
Andrew: [Darius Reid? You’re joking right? What can that poor and miserable person donate to charity for God’s sake?]Darius frowned as he read the message. He was alone at the time, sipping wine and going about his business. Why was his name being brought up again?Curious, he clicked on the message notification and was redirected to his department main chat. There, he scrolled up and read the previous messages to see why his name was being mentioned.After five minutes, he had read all the previous messages and was caught up with the latest message in the main chat.Darius had a cold expression on his face after he read through the messages. As usual, he was being looked down on by his classmates.His classmates had been discussing the upcoming charity gala in the main chat. Most of them had already picked their outfits and who they were attending the gala with.It was understandable. Although Darius didn’t like and enjoy the previous charity galas he attended, that didn’t do anythi
The days flew past with him lazing about. He was enjoying the features of his apartment a little too much. He had never been so relaxed in his life before. He had watched movies in his private movie theatre, something he didn’t usually have the luxury of doing due to his very busy part time works schedule, drank wine while watching various streams on Groove with classical music playing in the background, and ate dinner in his balcony while overseeing the whole of Dragon Estate. Life was truly relaxing these past few days. He didn’t just laze about however. His grandfather had called him several times and reminded him of his duties. Therefore he took some time to study the documents his grandfather sent him about the Reid consortium. There were also discussions and rumors about his message to attend the charity gala. Despite sending his message to the main chat and informing them about his decision to attend the charity gala, many people still found it unbelievable. Darius was a wel
[Sky Golden Hotel; 7:30 pm] The Sky Golden Hotel, the best hotel in the district was extremely busy. Several people dressed in black and white uniforms walked about busily attending to various tasks inside the hotel. The hotel was luxuriously decorated, more so than it usually was. Beautiful chandeliers were hung up on the equally luxurious ceilings. The floors of the hotel were polished to perfection, reflecting the light from the chandeliers. It wasn’t only part time staff that could be seen moving about. Several people dressed in very luxurious attires walked about the hotel lobby, taking occasional sips of wine that were served by the waiters and waitresses in the black and white uniform. One didn’t need to be told that the people dressed luxuriously were the students and affluent figures who were invited to the gala. Several people dressed luxuriously also gathered just outside the entrance to the hotel lobby. Most of them were just arriving with their equally expensive cars,
Everyone instantly turned to look at the figure who alighted from the stylish sports car. The car itself was so intimidating. They immediately knew that the owner was definitely not an average person! When the figure fully alighted from the car, everyone’s jaw instantly dropped. They couldn’t believe what they were seeing. The figure was very handsome, with masculine features and a very attractive face to boot. His three piece suit was impeccable and so was the diamond Rolex wristwatch on his wrist. The figure was none other than Darius Reid. “Woah! So handsome!” “Is he a student in either of the universities?” “I don’t know. Although he looks very familiar, I’m sure that I haven’t seen him somewhere before.” “He must be someone very important that’s for sure!” While others were still struggling to remember if they had seen or met Darius before, Sarah was studying the new rich newcomer closely. Although she was taken aback by how attractive he looked, she couldn’t shrug the fee
When Darius entered the hotel lobby, it was still as busy as it was before his arrival. Several luxuriously dressed people were still walking about having light discussions and light laughs from the discussions.Darius attracted a lot of attention as he walked. Many people already heard of his dramatic and classy arrival from their friends who were outside when he arrived so the stares of surprise they gave when they saw him was natural.The students of Kingston University however where rendered speechless when heard about his arrival. The Darius Reid they knew was poor and could barely afford good clothing, so their shock when they saw him in the hotel lobby dressed very classy was understandable.“Is that really Darius Reid?” Someone asked, his tone laced with disbelief.“I’m sure it’s him!” Someone replied.“But he looks so different.”“It’s him. I’m in the same Business Management department with him so there’s no way I could be mistaken. I’m one hundred percent sure that it’s him
“$100,000.”There was a brief silence when everyone heard his voice. They couldn’t believe that someone was bold enough to raise the bid by twice the amount of the previous bid.Everyone instantly turned to look at the person who raised the bid that high. To their utmost shock it was none other than Darius!Darius stood still with his left hand in his pocket and a glass of wine in his right hand. His posture and nonchalant stare made him look so handsome and attractive that a few girls had red tints on their cheeks.Pearl, Janet, David, Sarah, Helen, Chad, Anna and other several wealthy figures looked at Darius with different expression written on their faces.Pearl and Janet looked closely at Darius. They both accepted that Darius was indeed very attractive, but that wasn’t the reason they looked at him. They felt his face to be very familiar.Janet Fox, the second ranked beauty in Kingston University had no idea, but she had indeed met Darius before. It was when Darius had recently
