The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 36

“Do not worry about the price Mr. Reid. We wouldn‘t dare demand a payment from you.” Elle said polite ly with a smile on her face.

Darius looked at her with confusion in his gaze.

“What do you mean by that Manager Elle?” Darius asked in a confused tone. Elle looked back at Dariu s when she heard his question. Did he really want to pay for the apartment?

Mr. Bruce had informed her strictly to cater to all the needs of the guest. Surely that included the payment for the apartment. Why was Darius then asking fo r the price of the apartment?

Unknowingly to Elle, Mr. Bruce hadn‘t informed Darius about the Reid Consortium owning 95 % of the shares of Dragon Estate, so Darius behavior was perfectly logical. After all there was no sane person who would inspect an apartment he liked and would not ask for the price.

“I like the apartment and would like to know the price for the apartment so that I can pay for it. Why wou ld you give such an expensive apartment for free?” Darius asked.

Darius thought her response to be absurd. He thought that Mr. Bruce had only recommended him to th e place because he would like the apartment, and he was able to tell the manager to meet with him bec ause they might have some business dealings with each other. He didn‘t

expect it to be more than that.

When Elle saw Darius‘ confused response, she instantly knew what was going on. She knew that Mr. B ruce was someone high up in the secret but very powerful Reid family, and the fact that this handsome young guest also bore the Reid name gave away his identity as a member of the Reid family too.

She guessed that Mr. Bruce had not informed him about the Reid ownership of the Dragon Estate and t his residence, which was why he was demanding to pay.

She decided to answer his question and allow him to make the payments in order not to anger him. Ho wever the moment he made the payments, she would send the money back to Mr. Bruce. Like she men tioned earlier, she didn‘t dare demand payments from a Reid, especially after they had done to help her. “Pardon me Mr. Reid. It was a blunder on my part. I will definitely not give this apartment out for fre e.” Elle answered after she had thought it through.

Darius nodded in satisfaction.

“That is reassuring. How much for this apartment then?” Darius asked again. “That would be 750 millio n dollars Mr. Reid.” Elle answered in a very professional tone. Darius whipped his head towards her at a frightening speed. “750 million dollars?!” Darius yelled.

“Yes Mr. Reid.” Elle answered professionally.

Darius creased his eyebrows and asked in a low tone. “Why is it so expensive?” All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

“As you have seen Mr. Reid, this apartment has everything you need in an apartment. We‘ve also mad e sure that everything in the apartment is made from the most quality materials in the market, with seve ral facilities being state of the art.”

“Frankly speaking Mr. Reid, the apartment alone is valued at 600 million dollars, but we have to add the lawyer‘s fees as well as the fees for several legal documents. Also, several maintenances need to be d one on the facilities in the apartment before it is ready for use. As all the facilities are the best and mad e from the most quality materials, their maintenance fees wouldn‘t certainly be cheap.”

“Don‘t worry Mr. Reid. I am one hundred percent sure that you will be very satisfied with the changes when we are done with the maintenances.” Elle said in

a confident tone.

Darius had a complicated expression on his face. Even though he was immensely wealthy he had neve r spent more than 5 million dollars before. How could he suddenly move from spending 5 million dollars to 750 million dollars at a go?!

Darius sighed. He had to admit that the apartment was certainly worth the price. He was in love with everything he saw in the apartment.

He let out an audible sigh. He was certainly rich enough to pay for the apartment at once. As the head of the Reid Consortium, he should get used to spending such astronomical sum. After all that was the reason his grandfather had given him over fifteen billion dollars wasn‘t it?

“Alright, I‘ll make the payment.” Darius said.

He brought out his stylish phone and asked for the account he was expected to pay the amount to, whi ch Elle gave to him professionally.

After typing away on his phone for a minute, a ping echoed in the room they both stood.

Elle brought out her phone and checked the notification she received.

Elle removed her gaze from her phone and smiled at Darius before speaking.

“I have received the payment Mr. Reid. I‘ll call the workers to get the work as soon as possible.” Elle sai d.

“However, you‘ll have to be patient Mr. Reid. The maintenance and modifications will take quite some ti me to be completed. When everything is done, you shall receive the keys and the receipt to the apartm ent.” Elle continued.

“How long will the maintenance take to be completed?” Darius asked. Now that he had paid for the apartment , he wanted to move in as soon as possible.

“It should take up to two days but I‘ll get the workers to get it done in a day, which means your apartment will be ready the day after tomorrow.” Elle answered.

Darius nodded. He had finally gotten a suitable apartment of his liking.

He checked the time on his phone and saw that it was already past 8 pm. He had spent his whole day at Dragon Estate. It was time for him to go back to the Sky Gold

By the time he came out of the bathroom after taking his shower and draped in nothing but a bathrobe, t

Without changing his bathrobe, Darius walked to the door and opened it.

“Here‘s your meal sir.” The waitress said. However when she brought her gaze to Darius her face heate

“Thank you.” Darius said, dragging the table with his meal into the room before closing the door.

The waitress stood motionless outside the door even after Darius had closed it. Her cheeks began to he

She let out a small shriek as several inappropriate thoughts flashed through her mind. She slapped herself lightly on her already red cheeks before making her way to the ho waiting for to deliver their food to them.

He was extremely famished so maybe that was why his dinner seemed tastier than it usually was. As such, he finished his meal in less than five minutes.

The fatigue from the day‘s events finally caught up with him after he had had his fill. He made his way to
