The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 62
The walk to his friends’ location was a short one. After walking for five minutes, he got to his friends’
location. When he was still a short distance away from his destination, he caught sight of Marcus and
Greg discussing. A smile unknowingly crept up on his face at the sight of his two friends. Delighted, he
increased his pace and walked up to them. “Darius!” Greg eximed when he saw Darius. He was not
present the time Marcus had a phone call with Darius; therefore he had no idea that Darius decided to
hang out with them. It was pleasant surprise for him to see Darius.
“What’s up Greg?” Darius replied; smiling heartily as he gave Greg a bro hug.
“I’ve been alright man. We missed you. Where have you been?” Greg asked as he hugged Darius
“I’ve been really busy these past few days, but don’t worry. I’m free now. We can hangout for a while.”
Darius replied pleasantly. Just as Greg was about to reply Darius, Rudd appeared in their line of sight
and started walking towards them. He was finally done with his studies for the day.
When Rudd saw Darius, his reaction was more profound than the rest. He hugged and kept asking him
questions. It wasn’t until Marcus interrupted him did Darius get a breather. After suggesting that they
should continue the questioning at a restaurant, Darius and his roommates boarded a cab to a
restaurant.
Marcus, Greg and Rudd were shocked when they reached their destination. The Sky Golden Hotel was
a very luxurious hotel meant for ssy people. A single meal at the hotel cost over $ 20,000, and you
were only allowed to dine if you had a membership card. If the food cost so much, the membership
card would surely not be cheap!
of course, the reason why they were skeptical about Darius’ ns was because they had no idea
Darius was now very rich. They didn’t attend the Charity g as Rudd’s grandmother fell sick. They
visited his grandmother in the vige and spent a week there after taking leave from the university so
that they could nurse her back to good health.
When they came back from Rudd’s vige, they were very upied with their studies and didn’t have
time for chit chats and gossips. As a result of this, they had no idea that Darius was the top contributor
at the charity g, and neither did they know of his wealth Darius noticed their looks of apprehension
and smiled inwardly before speaking. “Come on guys. What are you still waiting for?” Darius said. The
three of them looked at each other before Marcus spoke up.
“Darius, this is Sky Golden Hotel. Everything here is so expensive. I doubt that we could afford it. Why
don’t we try another ce?” Marcus said. He knew that Darius wasn’t that financially stable and
thought that Darius wanted to treat them here because he felt indebted to them, so he tried to talk him
out of it. Darius knew what they were thinking, but he didn’t rify the reason he brought them here
“Don’t worry about it and trust me.” Darius said before making his way to the entrance. Left with no
choice, Marcus, Greg and Rudd followed him. If they couldn’t afford the meals, they
could always leave. It wouldn’t hurt for them to indulge in Darius whims a little.
The interior of the hotel was as exquisite as ever, with numerous ssy people seated and having
deluxe meals. Marcus, Greg and Rudd looked at their clothing and felt embarrassed. It was way inferior
to the people present in the hotel. Darius was dressed casually, however his style still seemed different
and ssier than theirs.
They expected to be treated with scorn because of their inferior dressing, however they were at a loss
for words when a receptionist walked up to Darius and greeted him politely.
Darius was a gold member of the Sky Golden Hotel, and after witnessing his feats at the charity g,
they now knew to treat with more respect than usual. Darius’ roommates didn’t know this detail
naturally, so their shock was understood. “Good day sir. We’re pleased to serve you today. How can we
help you?” The receptionist asked politely.
“I’m here with my friends.” Darius replied, gesturing to the shocked trio behind him. “Direct US to a
table and serve US the best meal avable on the menu.” “Certainly sir.” The receptionist replied before
pping her hands softly. Secondster a waiter dressed neatly in uniform appeared. She gestured to
the waiter before making her way back to her spot.
“This way please.” The waiter said politely, guiding the four of them to a luxurious table in a corner of
the hotel.
Just seconds after taking their seats, more waiters appeared and arranged so many exotic dishes on
the table in mere seconds. When they were done, they left the table quietly, leaving the four of them to
their meals.
Marcus, Greg and Rudd all stared at Darius with skeptical looks on their faces. This arrangement was
too sudden for them to digest. However they had no choice but to go through with it. Rudd took a bite
of the meal on his table and resumed his questioning of Darius. Soon enough, the table of four was
filled withughter and happiness.
The meal Darius was having with his former roommates was one of the best in his lives. His
roommates had been there for him when he needed them the most, and he was d to see that they
were equally as happy as he was.

“So Darius, do you have any ns of being in a rtionship anytime soon?” Rudd asked suddenly as
they were having their meal. At this question the table fell silent as everyone stopped talking. They
turned their attention to Darius and stared at him intensely, as they did not want to miss his slightest
reaction. Darius fell silent for a few moments. He knew why Rudd asked him that question. He most
probably wanted to know how hurt he was after Sarah broke up with him.
“No. I don’t have any n of being in a rtionship now. I have so many things to focus on at. the
moment. Maybeter, I will consider it.” Darius answered with a pained smile. His rtionship with
Sarah was a disaster. Despite all the efforts he put in, Sarah still ditched him for David
He was terribly hurt by her actions, but that was in the past. Although he no longer had any romantic
feelings of any sort towards Sarah, he decided to stay away from intimate rtionships for the time
being. Besides he still had a lot of work to do. As such, he did not see
himself being in a rtionship so soon.
“So what about you Rudd? How long do you n on staying single?” Darius teased, instantly making
Rudd the centre of attraction on their table.
Rudd smiled proudly when he heard Darius’ question. Darius was in for a surprise if he thought that he
was still single.
“I’m no longer single!” Rudd dered proudly.
Darius, Marcus and Greg instantly burst into loud cheers when they heard his deration. Rudd, the
least outgoing one of them all had gotten a girlfriend? It was a miracle! “When did this happen?!” Greg
asked in excitement.
“Last month.” Rudd answered happily.
“You better introduce US to her soon.” Greg said cheerily.
“Certainly!” Rudd replied happily.
The atmosphere surrounding the table was a jolly and happy one. Darius and the rest finally picked a
day next month toe and hang out like this. Rudd also promised toe with his girlfriend on that
day, which made Greg and Marcus anticipate the day eagerly. After chitchatting and having fun for one
more hour, Darius finally called it quits. He checked the time and saw that it was already gettingte.
Darius signaled the waiters toe with their bill. The waiter approached their table quickly with
the bill for the meal and handed it to Darius.
Unfazed at the amount on the bill, Darius brought out his ck bank card and handed it to the waiter;
which the waiter left with. A few secondster, the waiter announced that they had sessfully paid for
the meal.
After waving goodbye to each other, Marcus, Greg and Rudd boarded a cab to their dorm, while Darius
boarded a cab to where his car was parked.
By the time he got to where he parked his car, it was alreadyte in the night. He unlocked his car and
entered his car. He turned the ignition on and was about to drive off when his phone rang
He looked at the caller ID and saw that it was Helen. When he picked the phone call and ced the
phone to his ear, a loud scream echoed from the other end of the phone. Before he could make sense
of it, Helen’s voice sounded in his ears. “Mr. Reid! Please save me!”
