The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 181

Darius’ first thought was to nod in agreement. But before he could do so, his gaze swept over a clock on the wall. It was already 3.00 am. By the time they were done eating, they would probably have two hours to rest. There really wasn’t much point in having Pearl leave at this time.

So, he said, “You can choose to stay since we'll need to leave in about two hours."

Pearl blushed. She looked around, then lowered her head to look at the floor. “Okay. I’ll sleep on the sofa.”

Darius frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her suggestion. "I may not be the perfect gentleman, but I won't allow a woman to sleep on the sofa." He then turned to walk to the sofa, but he heard Pearl running after him.

He stopped and turned around to face her, her face was red with agitation. "Please, let me sleep on the sofa. I'm here to repay you for saving my family's company, so there's no way I'll let you sleep there.”

Darius glanced at the clock and decided not to argue with her anymore.” As you wish.” He walked over to the bed and lay down.
