The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 62

The walk to his friends’ location was a short one. After walking for five minutes, he got to his friends’ location. When he was still a short distance away from his destination, he caught sight of Marcus and Greg discussing. A smile unknowingly crept up on his face at the sight of his two friends. Delighted, he increased his pace and walked up to them. “Darius!” Greg exclaimed when he saw Darius. He was not present the time Marcus had a phone call with Darius; therefore he had no idea that Darius decided to hang out with them. It was pleasant surprise for him to see Darius.

“What’s up Greg?” Darius replied; smiling heartily as he gave Greg a bro hug.

“I’ve been alright man. We missed you. Where have you been?” Greg asked as he hugged Darius

“I’ve been really busy these past few days, but don’t worry. I’m free now. We can hangout for a while.” Darius replied pleasantly. Just as Greg was about to reply Darius, Rudd appeared in their line of sight and started walking towards them. He was finally done with his studies for the day.

When Rudd saw Darius, his reaction was more profound than the rest. He hugged and kept asking him questions. It wasn’t until Marcus interrupted him did Darius get a breather. After suggesting that they should continue the questioning at a restaurant, Darius and his roommates boarded a cab to a restaurant.

Marcus, Greg and Rudd were shocked when they reached their destination. The Sky Golden Hotel was a very luxurious hotel meant for classy people. A single meal at the hotel cost over $ 20,000, and you were only allowed to dine if you had a membership card. If the food cost so much, the membership card would surely not be cheap!

of course, the reason why they were skeptical about Darius’ plans was because they had no idea Darius was now very rich. They didn’t attend the Charity gala as Rudd’s grandmother fell sick. They visited his grandmother in the village and spent a week there after taking leave from the university so that they could nurse her back to good health.

When they came back from Rudd’s village, they were very occupied with their studies and didn’t have time for chit chats and gossips. As a result of this, they had no idea that Darius was the top contributor at the charity gala, and neither did they know of his wealth Darius noticed their looks of apprehension and smiled inwardly before speaking. “Come on guys. What are you still waiting for?” Darius said. The three of them looked at each other before Marcus spoke up.

“Darius, this is Sky Golden Hotel. Everything here is so expensive. I doubt that we could afford it. Why don’t we try another place?” Marcus said. He knew that Darius wasn’t that financially stable and thought that Darius wanted to treat them here because he felt indebted to them, so he tried to talk him out of it. Darius knew what they were thinking, but he didn’t clarify the reason he brought them here “Don’t worry about it and trust me.” Darius said before making his way to the entrance. Left with no choice, Marcus, Greg and Rudd followed him. If they couldn’t afford the meals, they
