The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 180

Pearl opened the door, still caught up in her thoughts. When she saw the woman standing there, her eyes widened in shock.

It was Elle, and she was holding a tray. She was a little unhappy to see the beautiful and attractive Pearl, but she soon shook it off. She knew her place, Darius would always be out of her league and more like someone for her to worship.

Elle smiled calmly and said, “I’m sorry, I wasn’t aware there was someone else here. I’ll prepare another set for you.”

Pearl was angry when she first saw Elle. After all, it wasn’t appropriate for a woman to knock on a man’s door in the middle of the night. However, she didn’t expect Elle only to be here to deliver food. She felt a trace of regret at her thoughts.

She quickly held up a hand to stop Elle from leaving. “I’m just here to take care of Darius, so there’s no need to prepare anything for me.”

Elle looked surprised. However, she quickly regained her composure and passed the tray to Pearl. “I’ll have to trouble you with this, then. I’ll take my leave now.”

Pearl watched her leave before heading back to the study.

Darius‘ senses were extra sensitive now that his martial arts skills had been awakened, and he could already smell the food when Elle showed up. He looked at his books, then said, “You can leave that in a corner for now. I’ll be done in two hours.”

Pearl’s eyes widened. “What? You’re almost done already?”
