SWNOVELS Chapter 20
Chapter 20
Darius paid no attention to the glances the onlookers gave to him. He picked up his shopping bags full of the shoes he selected
and was about to head to the counter to pay for his goods when he felt someone tug on his shirt. He turned back and saw that it
was the lady he saved.
He took a closer look at the lady and saw that she was really beautiful. She was tall, although not as tall as him, probably 180
cm, with fair skin and beautiful blonde hair. She also had an hourglass figure which her poor clothing did little to hide. The girl
stared back at Darius, and then looked back at her feet. She was too afraid to speak up, but she didn‘t want to let Darius go just
like that. He had just paid 1 million dollars on her behalf. Even though to him it might seem like nothing due to how rich he was,
to her it was something very touching. After fidgeting for a few seconds, she finally had the courage to speak up.
“Hello.” She muttered; her voice very meek. Darius didn‘t reply and kept staring at her, waiting for her to speak up. When she
saw that Darius didn‘t respond, she finally braced herself to speak up. “Thank you very much for your help sir. If you didn‘t even
help me I don‘t dare imagine what would have happened to me.” The lady said, her voice still shaking from the fear she had
when she recalled what happened earlier. Darius sighed. He completely understood her fears. He had been poor his whole life
so he had been in these kind of situations before. Back then he had wished that he had someone to help him out, but that wasn‘t
what happened. This was why when he saw the lady being mistreated he instantly felt very angry at the young man. “What‘s
your name?” Darius asked in a soothing voice. “Helen.” The lady replied, still looking downwards. “Look at me Helen.” Darius
said; his voice inviting.
Helen obeyed and looked up at Darius. Darius smiled at her and she felt her heart melting at his smile. She looked like she had
finally found the man of her dreams. Not only was he extremely wealthy, he was tall, handsome and most importantly he was
very kind!
Most of the rich people she had seen were always arrogant, mean and haughty. It was no surprise she instantly fell for Darius at
once.
“It‘s nothing. I just can‘t stand such behavior, especially when it‘s coming from a fellow male.” Darius said.
Darius smiled at her again and turned around to leave, but the lady he helped called him back again.
“I‘m incredibly sorry to bother you, but can I have your contact?” Helen asked shyly, her cheeks beet red. She had never asked
for a man‘s contact before and neither had she given a man her contact details for various reasons.
For one she was very poor, so she had to work multiple jobs to make ends meet. As such she didn‘t have time for any type of a
relationship with a man.
Another reason was that she was a student at Lockwood University, another top university in the neighborhood, so the little free
time she was not working she channeled them towards her studies.
Also, many of the men she had met just wanted her for her body. They always had perverted and lecherous gazes when they
looked at her, so it was not a surprise that she completely shut out men in her life.
However, after the events that occurred today, she broke her ironclad rule and took the initiative to ask for his contact.
Darius smiled at her, making her heart beat rapidly before giving her his contact. After he did so, he turned around and left Helen
to her thoughts.
Helen blushed as she watched him leave before turning around and rushing out of the store. She checked the time on her phone
and saw that over an hour had passed since she arrived at the store. She groaned when she thought about her boss that was
still waiting for her to arrive with the shoes. She was surely getting a pay cut there was no doubt about that.
She had gone quite a far distance from the store when she let out a loud groan, attracting the attention of people nearby. In her
bid to leave in a hurry, she had forgotten to ask her benefactor something very important. She didn‘t ask him for his name.
Helen sighed. It was all good. After all she had managed to get his contact. It was better to have his contact than to have his
name without a means to contact him. And with that thought, Helen walked cheerily towards her work place.
Darius on the other hand stood in front of the counter about to pay for his shoes. The bill had summed up to $426,000. Darius
sighed. He had already spent over 2.5 million dollars in a single day, and now he was about to spend another large sum of
money. He wondered if he was spending too much, but then when he looked at his account balance he shrugged. The amount
he had spent wasn‘t even close to emptying his wallet.
He promptly paid for his shoes before making his way out of the store. He boarded a taxi back to his dorm in the university. He
still had a lot of things to do but it was already late to do them today. Besides, he had to go to classes tomorrow.
When he arrived in his dorm room, he saw that it was still vacant. Knowing his roommates, Darius assumed that the lectures for
the day had already ended and that they had gone to the club to look for women.
He exhaled a sigh. He hadn‘t been to the club all these while because he was too busy to go to one. Perhaps it was time for him
to loosen up now that he had money. He made a decision to visit the club during his free time.
After arranging his shopping bags of shoes like he did to his clothes, he lay down on his bed. He needed a well–deserved rest
because the day‘s events had left him exhausted
