The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 177

Erin had stepped out of the car the moment Zack showed up. When she saw Darius walk toward the car, she hurriedly said, “Mr. Reid, I think I’m needed at the company.”

Darius nodded. “That’s fine. I can drive, and I’m definitely safe on my own.” He got into the driver’s seat and stretched an arm out, resting it against the window. He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath before driving off.

Erin remained rooted to the spot, only moving when he was out of her sight. When she turned around, she was greeted by the sight of a face, which frightened her. She backed away, slapping a hand over her mouth to ensure she wouldn’t make a sound.

Zack touched his face, feeling a little exasperated. He walked toward her, saying, “I know you’re madly in love with Mr. Reid, and my face can’t compare to his, but it’s not bad enough to terrorize you like that, is it?”

Erin had already calmed down. She rolled her eyes at him and said, “I have plenty of work to do. Also, I’m not in love with Mr. Reid; I just admire him.” She turned and hurried away.
