The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 34

Chapter 34 The receptionist; whose name was Maureen looked at Darius again with a pleading gaze. She figured out that Darius was way higher than the manager herself in the social hierarchy therefore if Darius forgave her rude behavior then the Manager would naturally drop it.

Unfortunately for her, Darius didn‘t give her the time of the day.

“I asked if what Mr. Reid here says is true Maureen?” the manager repeated loudly, narrowing her eyes at Maureen.

“It was a misunderstanding Manager Elle. I didn‘t know that you were expecting a visitor. Please pardon my impudence!” Elle begged. She saw that Darius wasn‘t going to forgive her and neither was he going to plead her case to the Manager. The only option left for her was to plead for mercy herself.

“So it is true then.” Manager Elle said in a sad tone. It was no wonder Mr. Bruce was very angry at her. The attitude that Maureen showed to Darius was not just unacceptable but also very unprofessional.

She sighed. It seemed that she had been very busy with other aspects of the residence that she had forgotten to keep the attitudes of her employees in check.

“Yes you did Manager Elle.” The receptionist as answered remorsefully as she could. She figured out that maybe if she showed how remorseful she was, the Manager was going to let her off the hook this time.

“I see. I‘m glad that you admitted that I informed you of that particular detail.” The manager said.

“Because you have disobeyed that rule by being rude and disrespectful to Mr. Darius here, Miss Maureen, you have just been fired.” The manager said in a cold tone.

Maureen felt her whole world crashing down at that moment. She was unable to save herself from the consequences of her action.

It should be noted that any job in the Dragon Estate was a job with very high pay compared to other places. The benefits that came with the job were also very lucrative when compared to other places.

In Maureen‘s case, she wasn‘t just working in the Dragon Estate, but working in the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence itself, the most expensive housing complex in the whole of Dragon Estate.

It was the dream job for her with an extremely high pay, feeding allowances and most importantly free accommodation. The free accommodation was definitely the best part to Maureen as she was able to live in the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence, and although it was the staff quarters, it was still a very luxurious place for someone of her social status to live.

That wasn‘t the only benefits she had. She had constantly bragged to her friends about her

working in the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence, enjoying the looks of envy and admiration on their faces whenever she mentioned it to them. It gave a false sense of superiority that she was better than her friends.

However that wasn‘t the case now. She was no longer an employee at the Dragon Lord‘s Imperial Residence, meaning that she was stripped of all the benefits that came with being one,
