The Consortium’s Heir by Benjamin_Jnr

Chapter 78

The following days were peaceful for Darius. Helen still refused to pick his phone calls or reply his texts, leaving Darius at a loss on what to

do. Since the matter with Luke had been settled, he then focused on his studies. The second semester exams were fast approaching and he

needed to pass effortlessly.

After two weeks of intense studying and preparation, the semester exams came to a conclusion. As expected, Darius was the best student in

the exams when the result came out, Darius had an apathetic response to that. He had always emerged as the best student in all the exams

he had taken since he got admitted to Kingston University, so this time wasn't any different to him. 1

Now that the exams were over, the students were given a two months break, before they resumed school for the next semester. This meant

that when school resumed for the next session Darius would be in his final year of study.

The whole student body was bustling with excitement after seeing their results. Majority of the students in Darius Business Management

department had passed the exams with ease, therefore explaining their joy.

They were even happier at the two months break that was given to them. They started discussing among themselves about the plans they

had for the break.

They made mention of several luxurious restaurants, entertainment villas and tourist attractions.

Darius listened in on their conversation as they discussed. Their discussion made him recall that he didn't have any plan currently. Just as he

was thinking of what he would do during the two month break, his phone rang.

He checked the caller ID and saw that it was Erin, his personal assistant. He quickly answered the phone call and placed his phone to his

ear.

"Hello, Mr. Reid." Erin said professionally.

"Yes, Erin. Is anything the matter?" Darius asked.

"Mr. Reid, regarding the West Atlantics Int'l acquisition, there are several documents that you have to

sign personally before we proceed." Erin answered. "Alright. I’ll head over immediately." Darius replied

before disconnecting the phone call.

He walked briskly to where his Bugatti was parked, as he hadn't retrieved his Lamborghini from

maintenance shop. He got into his Bugatti and drove off from the parking lot, eliciting iooks of

admiration and envy from the few onlookers present,

He switched on his car inbuilt GPS system and input the location for his new company, following it

closely.

The journey was without incident. When he arrived at the former Erihal Group Headquarters building,

he parked his car neatly in the parking lot.

He got out from his car and looked around the headquarters. It was incredibly deserted. Not a single

soul was present outside the building,

He shook his head lightly before entering the building. The interior of the building was the same as the

exterior. It was empty and lifeless. Darius was a bit skeptical about the lifelessness of the company, but

quickly thought otherwise. After all since the Erihal Group was no more and he was yet to formally

complete the procedures of registering the company; it would be strange if he could see workers

moving around the building. He walked briskly to the conference room and entered the room. Three

people with his assistant were already waiting for his arrival in the conference room. As such, the

moment he entered the conference room, they all stood up and bowed, acknowledging his presence.

"Welcome Mr. Reid. We're grateful to be blessed with your presence." The leader of the three strangers

greeted. They knew that the young man in question definitely had a very impressive background if he

was able to pay 20 billion dollars at once to purchase a conglomerate group. Therefore they hoped to

leave a favorable impression on him. Darius waved lightly to them, responding to their greetings, before

taking his seat at the head of the table.

Erin walked over to where he was seated and handed over several documents to Darius. Darius read

through them and saw that they were several documents regarding the formal registration of his

company on his name.

It took him over two hours to finally complete the signing and formal registration processes. When he

was done, the company 'West Atlantics IntT was finally registered as both a local and international

company.

Darius felt a huge sense of accomplishment at that moment. It had only been a few months ago since

he discovered his identity as wealthy heir, but he was now the founder of his own company.

It was a very impressive feat indeed, as Darius was still just a university student!

He thanked Erin generously for her insight and the help she offered.

"It's nothing, Mr. Reid. I'm just doing my job." She downplayed his thanks humbly, but there was an

affectionate and admiring shine in her eyes.

Darius was about to respond to her shiy reply when his phone rang. He didn't glance at the caller ID before picking the phone call.

"Darius." The caller said once the call connected.

Darius knew who the caller was the moment he heard his voice. It was none other than his grandfather!

"Grandfather." Darius answered in a surprised voice. He had no idea why his grandfather suddenly called him.

"I heard about your acquiring of the Erihal Group." Darius’ grandfather said.

Darius was a bit shocked at his grandsather's statement. It had not been long since he purchased the group, and the transaction was very

low-key, yet the news had already reached his grandfather. It was indeed a bit scary.

"Yes. I felt it was a huge waste to let the company die out, so I purchased it and registered it under my name." Darius answered,

There was a brief moment of silence, before his grandfather spoke up. "Alright. I’ll like to discuss with you about that. I’ll be meeting you at

the company location." Darius instantly declined his grandfather's suggestion. He felt his grandfather was too old to be moving around

recklessly and was worried for his grandfather's health. "I'll drive to meet you now!” Darius said hurriedly; however, his grandfather was

having none of it.

"Nonsense! I’m already on my way! Just send me the address!" his grandfather insisted adamantly. Then he hung up the phone without even

waiting for Darius to respond.
