The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 253

Chapter 253

Alicia now looked like a strong career woman.

Darius locked eyes with her and was about to speak, but she suddenly ran in his direction.

It sparked a grin across Darius’ face as he knew Alicia was still the same, innocent girl at heart.

As he stood there and stared at her, his clenched jaw loosened.

All the while, Erin stood next to him.

She paid attention to his shifting expressions, bitter disappointment forming in her heart.

Yet, Erin did not verbalize her feelings or show them on her face.

She knew such things would often occur in the future, especially if she wanted to stay beside Darius as more than his secretary.

She needed to get used to him being popular among women.

Regardless, Darius did not have the slightest idea of what Erin was thinking, and neither did Alicia.

At that moment, Alicia had arrived before Darius and was formally bowing to greet him and Erin.

"Thank you, Mr.Reid and Miss Erin.I don’t know what kind of life I’d be living now if it weren’t for your help." Darius could tell she was sincere from her gaze.

Even so, he sighed for the longest time before replying, "But the way you handle things at work still needs improvement."Alicia became as white as a sheet when she heard that.Yet, Darius continued, "Because a woman entered my hotel room today with a key, and it happened without anyone realizing it."

Not a hint of liveliness showed on Alicia’s face.

Her gaze tremored as it struggled to meet Darius’ eyes.

Even her voice became as small as a squeak when she said, "I’m sorry for my negligence, Mr.Reid! I'll do my very best to investigate the matter and give you a proper explanation at once!"

Then, she bowed as deeply as possible before rising and speeding across the lobby, her heels leaving behind a trail of loud clicks.

Erin did not expect that reaction from Alicia.

Shocked, she turned to look at Darius, stating, "She seems nervous, Mr.Reid."

"Yeah," said a nodding Darius.

"She’s not skilled at hiding her emotions yet and will need some time to mature."

That was when Erin noticed a rare patience from Darius that he never once showed her.It made her fists coil tautly.

On top of that, she stared at Darius with conflicting emotions.

She parted her lips, wanting to speak but eventually decided against it.

However, Darius was an awakened martial artist; he had keen senses that could detect the emotions of those around him.

Hence, he knew what Erin was feeling.

Nevertheless, he chose not to express his opinion as he felt Erin herself needed to process those emotions.

Darius then smoothed out his clothes and headed out of the hotel.

When he arrived at the yard outside, he saw a brand-new car with no license plate parked at the hotel door.
