The Consortium's Heir novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81

The caller was Helen!

It had been close to two weeks since Darius rescued Helen from Luke’s vile actions. After taking her to her dorm, she kissed him on the lips and ran off before he could even react.

After that day, he had

tried to get in touch with her; not because of the kiss, but because he wanted to know if she was doing alright as he guessed that she might have gotten a huge scare.

Contrary to his expectations, Helen refused to pick any of his calls at all! Not only that, she totall y refused any meeting with him at all, leaving Darius at a total loss on what to do. She was compl etely avoiding him.

Darius had no choice but to leave her for the time being. He had no

idea why she was avoiding him, but he respected her choice. He still had a lot of things to do, so he couldn’t spend his whole time thinking about Helen’s refusal to meet with him.

Therefore one could imagine how surprised he was when he saw that the caller was Helen. He di d not expect her to contact him so soon.

“Hello, Darius.”

Helen greeted in a low but audible voice. She had decided to call Darius because she felt incredi bly guilty about how she had been ignoring him.

“Hi, Helen.” Darius answered. There was a tinge of impatience in his voice lowever. He still had se veral matters to overlook and documents regarding his company to sign. He was

incredibly busy at that moment and therefore he was not in the mood to exchange pleasantries and engage in small talk with Helen.

“Are you busy right now?” Helen asked hesitantly. She could hear the impatience in Darius’ voice and being a very

observant person, she guessed that Darius was greatly occupied at the moment. As such, she ski pped all pleasantries and went straight to the reason why she called

Darius.

“Would you be willing to have a meal with me next week?” Helen asked timidly. Her heart was be ating very rapidly at that moment. She was ninety percent sure that Darius would decline her invi tation, especially after she ignored him for weeks.

“I don’t know yet.” Darius answered honestly. He was too busy right now to create time for a me et up with Helen. It was only after he concluded his affairs here that he would be able to meet u p and have a meal with her.

“Oh. Alright.” Helen responded dejectedly. Now that she thought about it, avoiding him all these while wasn’t a reasonable thing to do. She should have at least met with him and told him that t he kiss she gave him was done out of impulse. That way, the atmosphere between them wouldn’ t be so weird now.
