The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 173

She pulled her phone out of her pocket as she spoke. She kept a hand over her gaping mouth for the next ten minutes. After a long while, she turned to look at Darius, “I’m so sorry about this. I had no idea you were so unfortunate.”

Darius‘ expression turned cold. No one had ever described him as unfortunate before. His lips couldn’t stop twitching. He couldn’t even think of the right words to describe his feelings. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

This didn’t mean that his office was silent as well. Doris‘ voice was getting louder and louder.

Darius crossed his arms and leaned against the wall while observing her. She was pretty and had plenty of room to grow, but how she made a living limmited her potential. That wasn’t good, and he couldn’t just stand aside and watch while it happened. So, he walked out of the room while she continued screeching.

He said, “Erin, I need you to find her an appropriate community college.”

Erin was a bit suprised. She knew Darius was kind, and even if his wealth didn’t always allow him to be so, he tried his best. This matter was different, though. Allowing a young woman who’d survived by stealing from others to roam free wouldn’t benefit anyone. However, Darius was her boss. She couldn’t go against his wishes.

She nodded and said, “Yes, sir. I’ll have everything arranged as quickly as possible.”

Darius couldn’t tell what she was really thinking just by looking at her, but he could sense that she didn’t like what he was doing. He didn’t say anything, Erin had been like this a lot lately.
