The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 276

Chapter 276 Wilson frowned, feeling distressed.

He didn’t know how to react to this.

After a short moment of consideration, he decided to tell Calypso the truth.

So, he turned around and looked at her.

Before he could say anything, the person beside him cleared his throat.

It made him jolt, and he turned to look at Darius.

Then, he saw Darius turn away nonchalantly as if nothing had happened.

In that instant, Wilson tensed up.

He understood what Darius had meant! This realization soured his mood because it was a skill only subordinates needed to have when dealing with their superiors.

In his case, he’d picked it up without even putting in the effort to.

His expression became complicated.

However, he didn’t dare look at Darius again after his hint.

A few seconds later, he turned back to look at Calypso.

This was her first time experiencing the feeling of having his eyes on her, and she blushed.

She fiddled with the hem of her clothes, and her tone was odd as she said, “Mr. Gillette, when I was in middle school, the Gillette Group had yet to come into existence.

Back then, you came to my school to give a speech, and that was when I found out what an amazing person you are.

I’ve been dreaming of speaking to you for years.” Wilson’s lips twitched.

He’d heard too many people say these things, and he was sick of it.

Others would gauge his reaction or test the waters before proceeding, but not Calypso.

She was blunt and sincere, and he didn’t often encounter this situation.

This time, however, Wilson had let his imagination get the better of him.

Calypso meant every word she said, but she didn’t tell him that her teenage infatuation meant nothing compared to the wealth-or lack thereof-that the Gillette family back then could bring to her.

This was the reason why she hadn’t approached Wilson after the speech to speak to him.

Wilson would never know about this.

He stood on the steps, looked down at the woman before him, and frowned.

“My patience is limited, so just cut to the chase and tell me what you want.

If it’s not too outrageous, I’ll consider it.” The moment those words were out of his mouth, he regretted them because Calypso dropped to her knees.

Wilson was shocked, but he didn’t allow it to show.

He remained upright, his face devoid of emotion as he said, ‘Three, two…” Calypso’s eyes widened.

Was Wilson really being so heartless? Soon, however, she calmed down and told herself, “It’s okay.
