The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 16

Chapter 16 Darius walked out of the store happily. He felt very much fulfilled after the small episode in t he store. He walked for a few minutes with the shopping bags in his hand before stopping.

Darius‘ stomach growled, reminding him that he hadn‘t eaten anything yet. He wanted to eat at the Sky Golden Hotel, but he had a lot of shopping bags on him. Taking the shopping bags to the hotel would be quite inconvenient for him. Besides, he really needed to change his outfit, or he might not even be granted entry this time. Darius hailed a taxi and got in. He decided to drop his newly purchased outfits at the dorm before going to the hotel to dine.

The ride back to his dorm was uneventful, and so was his walk. Apart from the occasional stares and gossips fro m the students, there was nothing out of the ordinary. He entered his dorm room and saw that it was sti ll empty. Even though two hours had passed since he left for the mall, his dorm mates were not yet bac k from school. Darius kept the shopping bags neatly and out of sights from his dorm mates. He didn‘t w ant to answer any unnecessary question that would stem from them seeing the shopping bags on his b ed.

When he was done, he changed into one of the new outfits he had bought. The outfit fitted him perfectl y, which made Darius smile. His self esteem was boosted when he wore the outfit. It seemed that dress ing well really had its own perks. Darius suddenly groaned. After his brief episode with Sarah, he had c ompletely overlooked the fact that he needed to buy new shoes too. His whole outfit was ruined by the fact the shoes he wore were worn out.

Darius sighed. There was nothing he could do now. He was far too hungry to go back to the store and g et some new shoes. It didn‘t matter much anyway. He would go and get some new shoes after eating. Right now, eating was his priority. The hunger pangs were no longer ignorable.

Darius exited his room and hailed a taxi to the Sky Golden Hotel. On his way there, he remembered the series of events that had led him there in the first place. It had just been a few days but a lot had happ ened in those few days. Darius alighted from the cab and stood in front of the grandiose entrance to the hotel. Unlike the first time he came here, he wasn‘t impressed by the 7– star hotel anymore. His grandfather‘s mansion had way more grandiose than this hotel. However, when he saw the array of cars in the parking lot, he couldn‘t help but suck in a cold breath. He couldn‘t wait f or his two cars to arrive.

When he entered the hotel after greeting the two security guards stationed at the door, he was immedia tely received by a hotel staff member. The security men found Darius‘ face to be familiar, but couldn‘t pl ace where they had seen him before. They had no idea that the young man in question was the same i ndividual they had reported to the police a few days before. It was understandable though, as Darius n ow looked completely different from a few days ago.

“Hello sir. How may I help you?” The hotel staff member asked politely.

“I‘m here to eat.” Darius answered.

“Do you have a membership card sir?” The hotel staff member asked again.

Darius frowned. He realized he didn‘t have a membership card after all. He had no clue that he needed a membership card to eat here. He reasoned that if David and Sarah could dine he re, all that was required was money, which he didn‘t think would be an issue for him because he now h ad a lot of it.

“No. I don‘t.” Darius answered.

“Sir, our meals are very exquisite compared to other places. Our ingredients are all first class and so are dine here.” The hotel staff member said.

“How do I become a member then?” Darius asked. He was getting very hungry and just wanted to get th up $1,000,000, you get a gold membership card.” The hotel staff explained. Darius nodded before bring to go for the silver or bronze membership card. Despite her surprise, she led Darius to the reception des
