The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 35

The interior of the elevator was just like anywhere else in the Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence, Luxurious, The whole elevator seemed like it was made of the most expensive materials.

After a few minutes, the elevator stopped. Manager Elle pushed a button and the elevator opened. The duo exited the elevator and started walking in an equally luxurious hallway. Darius admired the luxurious designs of the hallway. Everything in the hallway was beautifully done and looked like a lot of care had been given to them to give them the beautiful look they had. "Are you enjoying the view Mr. Reid?" Elle asked. She saw how intrigued Darius was by the various designs in the hallway and inexplicably felt proud. She had put in a lot of work to make sure that only the best materials and best workers handled the designs in the residence. "Actually I am." Darius confessed. He was truly enjoying the view. Although the designs still lost out to those in his grandfather's mansion, it was still very beautiful.

"I'm glad you do, Mr. Reid." Elle said proudly as they walked down the hallway.

After walking for another five minutes, Elle finally came to stop in front of two giant doors.

The doors were just as striking as the other designs in the residence. Two dragon figures were exquisitely placed on the handles of the doors, and with several diamonds placed in different parts of the door. "Following Mr. Bruce instructions, I arranged the most luxurious apartment for you to stay in. I'm sure that this apartment will be to your liking." Elle announced as they both stood in front of the doors.

Darius wondered what Bruce had told Elle that she decided to show him the most luxurious apartment in the residence. As long as the place was decent, then everything was alright. He didn't need his new apartment to be overly expensive and overly luxurious.' Elle pressed several buttons on the door lock, verified her fingerprints and biometrics before the door opened. Darius watched all these with an intrigued expression on his face. The security to the apartment was top notch. When they both entered the apartment and stepped into the living room, Darius became speechless. He couldn't believe what his eyes were seeing. It was like he was in a whole new world altogether!

The floors sparked as they were polished to perfection, so much that Darius could see his reflection on the floors. The ceilings were lavishly designed with various deluxe chandeliers hung on the ceilings. A very large TV hung on the wall of the living room, with several top notch electrical gadgets arranged neatly beside it.

The walls of the room looked like they were painted by a painter who was the best in his field. It was very beautiful.

Darius stood motionlessly and gazed at the living room. He was unable to hide the shock from what he saw, making it obvious on his face.

(This is the living room Mr. Reid." Elle spoke up, a hint of pride in her voice. She had worked tirelessly to refurbish and redesign this apartment to make it the best in the residence as Mr. Bruce told her to. Therefore she was very proud of herself and satisfied when she saw Darius reaction to the living room. It meant that her hard work and sleepless nights were not in vain. 2

(This way to the bedrooms Mr. Reid." Elle said again, successfully drawing Darius attention back to her.

Darius nodded and followed Elle past the living room and into another luxurious hallway. Several abstract paintings were hung on the walls of the hallways, gaining Darius attention. It created an aesthetic feel to the apartment. "There are three bedrooms in this apartment, two guest bedrooms and one master bedroom. Which would you like to see first Mr. Reid?" Elle asked. "Anyone is alright." Darius answered. "Okay. Then I'll show you the master bedroom first." Elle replied. They both walked to another luxurious door with Elle leading the way. She did the same security check she did at the entrance which required a pass code, fingerprints and biometrics before the door swung open, granting them access to the bedroom.

When Darius saw the master bedroom, he was short of words to actually describe it. Calling it luxurious was an understatement.

There was a king sized bed in the middle of the room, with several deluxe chandeliers hung on the ceiling. Not only that, the master bedroom was almost as large as the living room itself.

There was also a very huge balcony in the master bedroom. Darius was once again rendered speechless by the balcony.

It was also luxuriously designed and had a soothing feel to it. The balcony was built at the top most floor of the Dragon Lord's Imperial Residence, so he could overlook the whole area from the balcony, giving a bird eye view of the whole Dragon Estate.

When Darius was done checking the master bedroom, Elle took him to the two guest bedrooms. Of course they were also luxurious, but they fell considerably short of the master bedroom.

There were also other top attractions in the apartment. It had a large inbuilt swimming pool which was on the rooftop of the apartment, a state of the art built in gym, a large office room, and a large study room. "What do you think of this apartment Mr. Reid?" Elle asked after she was done showing him around the apartment.

"It is a very good place. I like it." Darius said sincerely. He truly liked the apartment. It had everything he needed and even more. It was as if the apartment was tailored for him specifically. Elle let out an audible sigh of relief when she heard his response. She didn't know what she

would do if after all her hard work Darius still rejected the apartment. This was the best apartment in the residence so if Darius didn't like this one there was no doubt that he definitely wouldn't like the other apartments.

"How much would I need to pay for this apartment then?" Darius asked. He had a lot of money now. He wanted to pay for the apartment at once so that he would move in immediately. However, Elle's reply caught him off guard.
