The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 173

Chapter 173

She pulled her phone out of her pocket as she spoke. She kept a hand over her gaping mouth for the next ten minutes. After a long while, she turned to look at Darius, “I’m so sorry about this. I had no idea you were so unfortunate.”

Darius‘ expression turned cold. No one had ever described him as unfortunate before. His lips couldn’t stop twitching. He couldn’t even think of the right words to describe his feelings. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

This didn’t mean that his office was silent as well. Doris‘ voice was getting louder and louder.

Darius crossed his arms and leaned against the wall while observing her. She was pretty and had plenty of room to grow, but how she made a living limmited her potential. That wasn’t good, and he couldn’t just stand aside and watch while it happened. So, he walked out of the room while she continued screeching.

He said, “Erin, I need you to find her an appropriate community college.”

Erin was a bit suprised. She knew Darius was kind, and even if his wealth didn’t always allow him to be so, he tried his best. This matter was different, though. Allowing a young woman who’d survived by stealing from others to roam free wouldn’t benefit anyone. However, Darius was her boss. She couldn’t go against his wishes.

She nodded and said, “Yes, sir. I’ll have everything arranged as quickly as possible.”

Darius couldn’t tell what she was really thinking just by looking at her, but he could sense that she didn’t like what he was doing. He didn’t say anything, Erin had been like this a lot lately.

She wasn’t aware that he’d seen right through her. She turned to leave, already planning on sending Doris to the furthest community college she could find.

Darius stood outside his office. He could still hear Doris screeching inside. The people that walked past bowed at him respectfully and kept their eyes trained on the floor, but he knew they were curious to know what was happening inside. He pushed the door open.

Everybody’s heads whipped toward the office. Darius‘ lips twitched, and he said, “You guys can go now.”

They quickly dispersed.

He was about to walk into the office to talk to Doris when he noticed someone breathing next to him. He knew that it was her. So, he was completely calm as he looked down at her blankly..

Doris couldn’t help trembling with fear. No one had ever looked at her like that before. It made her feel like she was nothing but a dead body to him.

When Darius noticed she was slowly inching away from him, he sighed and walked into the room. He sat down and looked at her, then said coldly, “I hope you’re as quick to apologize and accept your punishment as you are in humiliating and stealing from me.”
