Chapter 49

Darius then spent the whole day visiting various companies listed under the Reid consortium, from

various top companies to various luxury hotels and resorts, including restaurants. By the time the day

was over, Darius was very exhausted.

He checked the lists of companies he had visited and nearly collapsed from shock. He hadn‘t even

visited 10% of the total companies he was supposed to visit. At this rate he would die from fatigue before

he even finished visiting the companies. Perhaps this was the reason his grandfather was always on his

tail and reminding him to get a personal assistant. He certainly could not do this on his own. 1

Darius got home exhausted and stumbled into his bathroom. After taking a long shower and having his

dinner, he plopped onto his bed and fell asleep.

The next morning Darius woke up refreshed and energetic. He took his phone from the bedside table

and checked his schedule. He only had one place to visit today before he worked on the weekly report of

the companies under the Reid consortium. It was the only 10 star restaurant in Greenfield Estate, a top

estate in the district.

Although the estate wasn‘t as wealthy as Dragon Estate where Darius lived, it was a noteworthy one

nonetheless.

Darius dressed up and took his elevator down to his private garage. He debated for a few seconds

before deciding to use his Lamborghini. He got into his car and drove off.

The distance from Dragon Estate to the restaurant was a bit far, as it would take Darius 2 hours to reach

there if he drove at top speed. He was glad that he had his car now. If he still had to use the public

transport system, it would have taken more than twice the time needed before he got to his destination.

Darius had only driven 10 minutes into his journey when his phone rang. Without checking the caller ID

he connected the phone to his car‘s Bluetooth system before answering the call. “Hello.” Darius said.

“Hello. It‘s me, Alice.”

Darius sighed when he heard that the caller was Alice. He had promised to take her out on a date but

kept postponing the date. He had been incredibly busy therefore he didn‘t have the luxury of going out on

a date with Alice yet.

He decided to take her out on the date today since he had a whole week to himself. He didn‘t know when

he would be free to go out on a date again. Besides, he was one his way to a restaurant already. He

could use this opportunity to take her out with him too. It would be killing two birds with one stone.

“Where are you now?” Darius asked Alice.

“Me? I‘m at the female dormitory now. Why are you asking?” Darius checked the time on his car‘s

dashboard before replying.

“I‘ll be there in thirty minutes. Be ready, I‘ll be taking you out on the date we agreed today. Is that okay

with you?” Darius asked.

There was a brief silence before Alice gave her response.

“Yes it is.”

“Alright, I‘ll see you soon.” Darius said before disconnecting the phone call. He made a u–turn and

started speeding towards the female dormitory.

(Female Dormitory] The female dormitory was busy as several females were walking around dressed in

comfortable outfits and discussing among themselves. Their topic of discussion was mainly about the

events that transpired at the charity gala. “I‘m telling you! Someone paid $100,000 for a piece of painting

and still paid $ 4 million for a bottle of wine!” A lady said, emphasizing on the $4 million as she spoke.

“But that‘s ridiculous!” Another lady replied. $ 4 million was a ludicrous amount of money. How rich could

one be to spend it on a bottle of wine?!

“That‘s not even the best part. This person also got into a bidding war with Pearl Chamberlain and won!”

“Are you for real?!” As they were still discussing about the events that transpired at the charity gala, a

very sleek sports car pulled into the main street and stopped just outside the entrance to the hotel.

Instantly everyone‘s attention was fixed on the car.

“Wow! Such a beautiful car!” The lady who was narrating the events at the charity gala exclaimed.

“I wonder who the owner is!” “You dummy! Shouldn‘t you be wondering who he‘s here for?” The lady

rebuked her friend.

“Why?” Her friend asked; feeling wronged.

“Because if we know who he‘s here for then we can become friends with the person and get closer to the

owner!” the lady explained to her friend exasperatedly.

It wasn‘t just them who were stunned by the appearance of the beautiful sports car. Out of curiosity some

of them searched for the car on the internet and were even more shocked when they saw the price of the

car.

It was a Lamborghini Veneno Roadster that cost around $6 million! And from the search results the car

on the street was a customized one, so the price would be three times the original, which summed up to

a ridiculous sum of 18 million dollars!

While they were still in shock at the price of the car, Alice came down from her dormitory

room all dressed and started walking towards the Lamborghini.

Darius had called her earlier and told her that he was waiting for her outside the dormitory in his car. She

didn‘t think much of it at first, but when she saw the Lamborghini, her expression

mirrored that of the fellow dorm mates.

She knew that Mr.ordinary10 was a rich person, but she was still in shock at his car. She was itching to

know what the identity of Mr.ordinary10 was. When the dorm mates saw Alice walking towards the

Lamborghini, they instantly put two and two together. The Lamborghini was here for Alice! Expressions

of jealousy and envy suddenly appeared on their faces. Alice had always proved uninterested in the

affairs of men, so how did she suddenly bag a wealthy man for herself?

The door opened as soon as Alice was close enough to the Lamborghini. A few seconds later, the car

sped out of the dormitory, leaving the onlookers to their thoughts.
