The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 82

Darius frowned slightly at Erin’s words as he wasn’t expecting a visitor anytime soon. However since this person had come to see him, he figured that he should entertain the person.

“Let the visitor in.” Darius said.

Erin nodded in agreement before exiting the office. Seconds later, the door to the office pushed open and a man stepped in, with Erin following suit.

One look at the man showed that the man was an ordinary business man. He was dressed in a w orn out black suit that had several patches on it, and his shoes were equally worn out. Even thou gh Darius was sure that he was middle aged, the wrinkles on his face made him seem way older t han he actually was.

“Thank you for agreeing to meet with me, Mr. Reid!” the man greeted in a very polite voice. He e ven gave a light bow as he spoke.

Darius merely smiled in response to his greetings. He had seen his outfit and knew that he was a n ordinary, or perhaps even a struggling business man, but there was no scorn in his expression. He recently became rich after all. What kind of person would he be if he was arrogant and conde scending to someone when he was just as poor before?

“Please have a seat, Mister…” Darius trailed off. The man had not introduced himself so there w as no way Darius would know his name.

The man instantly knew what Darius was asking of him and spoke up in a respectful manner

“Pardon me, Mr. Reid!” He exclaimed. “It’s incredibly silly of me to not introduce myself to someo ne of your status yet.”

Darius merely smiled in response to his words; however his eyebrows were a bit furrowed. He wa s extremely uncomfortable by the amount of flattery that the visitor offered him. The visitor was very observant and noticed that Darius was not interested in his pleasantries; therefore he went s traight to the point.
