The Consortium's Heir

The Consortium’s Heir By Benjamin Jnr Chapter 48

The male ceased his actions and turned to face the intruder who interrupted him with a frown on his face.

“What are you doing right now? Don‘t you have work to do? Or are you tired of working here?” The man asked the intruder angrily.

Darius, the intruder scowled when he heard the man‘s question. The man had mistaken him for a worker here and was using his authority to chase him away. It meant that the man was up to no good. Darius ignored the man‘s questions and walked towards the lady in question. The lady had a look of relief on her face when someone appeared in the secluded area. “Hello. What is the problem?” Darius asked the lady in a gentle voice.

The lady moved farther away from the man and moved closer to Darius subconsciously. Darius was as charming as ever, with his voice very soothing. His masculine features provided the lady with a sense of security hence the reason why she moved closer to Darius. “This man is the problem!” The lady answered, pointing her fingers at the male in question.

Darius scowled when he heard her response.

“What did he do?” Darius asked again.

“I came here to apply for a job since I‘ve heard a lot about Nix Inc., but who would have thought that the company is just filled with perverted men!”

“Not only did he refuse to interview me the proper way, he also tried to force himself on me! Even after I refused and left his office, he still kept chasing after me!” The lady explained, glaring at the man with

her eyes blazing. Darius was inexplicably furious when he heard her answer. However, he decided to keep a calm head and hear the story from both sides before making a decision.

He turned to face the male and asked in a cold voice. “Is everything this lady said true?” The male looked at both of them and scoffed.

“You don‘t seem to be a worker here, since you don‘t know me, and yes, everything she said is true. But what can you do about it?”

“My word is law here, and I have the power to destroy you if I want. If you turn a blind eye to this and go back to where you came from, I will pardon you, but if you don‘t, then you can‘t blame me for what happens to you.” The man said haughtily.

Darius looked at the man coldly when he heard his reply. He did not even try to hide or deny the fact that he was forcing himself on someone he was supposed to interview.

The fact that he was straightforward in admitting to the deed meant that many ladies must have fallen victim to his advances. If he wasn‘t here by chance he might have succeeded in

having his way the lady!

Darius was furious. The man was painting a bad image for the company. If such people weren‘t properly taken care off they would kill the company from the inside!

“I see. I wonder if you will have the audacity to say such when I am done with you.” Darius stated coldly.

The man narrowed his eyes at Darius.

“Are you threatening me?” The man asked. “Threaten?” Darius laughed. “Not at all. This is a promise.” The lady looked at Darius closely. There was admiration in her gaze. This gentleman was a stranger

she just met now yet he was willing to stand up to that scum on her behalf.

As if on cue, the upper echelons that were showing Darius around the company suddenly appeared. When they spotted Darius at the other end of the hall they quickly rushed over. “Mr. Reid!”

Darius turned back and faced the people who were walking towards him briskly. “Mr. Reid! Where have you been? We‘ve been searching all over for you!” Darius ignored their questions and waited for them to walk up to him. When they did, he pointed to the man who wanted to force himself on the lady and asked.

“Who is he?”

They all turned to face the person who Darius pointed to, after which a brief silence followed. They couldn‘t answer the question! Nix Inc. was a company that was globally acclaimed. The people who were showing Darius around were all top upper echelons with gold plated cards identification. They were people who were rarely seen, and were always busy. That combined with the large amount of workers Nix Inc. had made it understandable that they had no idea who the man was.

That wasn‘t the case for the man. The moment he saw the line–up of the upper echelons treating Darius with so much respect, he started panicking. The upper echelons were people someone of his status weren‘t allowed to meet. He wasn‘t even allowed to talk to a single one of them. Yet they were now acting very subservient to the intruder. He instantly knew that the intruder was someone of impressive background!

“I asked a question. Who is he?” Darius asked coldly.

One of the upper echelons glanced at the man who had already started sweating profusely, and asked him a question.

“Where is your identity card?” The man shakily brought out a silver card and handed it to the upper echelon member. The member collected it and handed it over to Darius.

Darius read the details of the identity card before handing it back to the member.

“This man here is a repeat sexual offender.” Darius started. He went on to tell the upper echelons the crimes the man had potentially committed and what he admitted to doing. By the time Darius was done speaking, the man was already on his knees begging for mercy. No trace of his earlier arrogance could be found.

Darius ignored the man‘s tears. He had no pity for the man. He was a scum and should be duly punished for his actions.

The upper echelons glared at Danny after Darius was done speaking. They had no idea that the head of the Innovative Research Department was such an evil person. What‘s more that he had to be discovered by the owner of the company. That was putting them in such a bad place and making them look incompetent!

“I want you to make sure he is held accountable for all his crimes. Also make sure that the new Departmental head is a morally upright and just person. Such a thing must not repeat itself again. Is that clear?” Darius asked.

“Yes of course.” They answered. Without further delay, the security personnel were called over, after which Danny was arrested and handed over to the police. Darius then dismissed the upper echelons. He told them to properly interview the lady he saved and to give her a job if she was fit for the position. Done with his affairs at the Nix Inc., Darius exited the building and got in his car before driving off. He still had other companies to visit.
