The Consortium's Heir

Chapter 221

Her eyes widened, and she looked confused. However, she only allowed herself to stay like this for a second before regaining her composure. She grabbed her things and hurried off the plane. She had to catch up with Darius.

When Kate saw them moving, she got ready to get off the plane as well. Before she could do so, someone appeared before her. It was a man with blond hair and plain features. She knew who he was- Darius’ bodyguard, the surgeon.

The captain practically worshipped him and treated Darius nicely because of him. So, she told herself to be nice to him.

She forced out a smile and said, "You're Edward, right? May I know why you're stopping me from getting off the plane?"

Edward looked at her seriously. "Because I'm a bodyguard. I can tell that you want to get close to Mr. Reid, and that's not something that I can allow."Kate resisted the urge to roll her eyes. She was starting to dislike Edward already, but she couldn't show it. As she pondered this,

Edward said, "Mr. Reid will be in Almiron City for a long time. I don't think you need to express your thoughts right now. Also, if my memory serves me right, the Anderson Group is very influential here. I suppose it's something for you to think about."

He stretched his neck, then continued, "I think I've overstepped my boundary as a bodyguard, so this is the end of our conversation. I hope that you won't show up before Mr. Reid for the time being. Also, I hope that you'll learn proper communication before the next time we meet.

Otherwise, I'll exercise my right and duty as a bodyguard."

Without waiting for Kate's reaction, he turned and left. Kate remained rooted to the spot, only returning to her senses once Edward was out of her sight. She shrieked angrily, "Edward, you're just a bodyguard! You have no right to speak to me like that!"

It was too late, though. Neither Darius nor Edward heard her.

At this moment, the four of them had already gotten into the car Erin had prepared. Edward was in the driver's seat, Bridget was in the passenger seat, and Darius and Erin were in the back.

Erin turned to Darius and said, "Mr. Reid, you didn't have anything concrete planned for this trip before we came here, so I'veprepared a simple itinerary for you to go through. You'll have to let me know what other plans you have."

Darius nodded and said, "Okay."

Erin handed him her laptop. He quickly scrolled through the itinerary and said, ‘This is fine. I don't have anything else to add."

Erin nodded and put the laptop away. "Per the schedule, we should be heading to our hotel now. It’s a five-star hotel, the best one that Almiron City offers. It's called Umbrite Hotel. It has the best restaurant in the city and provides various cuisines. It also has a splendid view." Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Darius looked at her approvingly. This was exactly what he needed. The Reid Consortium hadn't invested much in Almiron City because it wasn't that well-developed, and he now needed to get more people interested in this place.

He was shocked by its size despite knowing that it wasn’t well-developed. It had only taken them twenty minutes to get from the airport to the hotel.

The hotel's entrance was framed by a gilded door to show its lavishness. The security guards and valet stood at attention, but Darius’ car didn't pique their interest. None of them stepped forward to offer to park the car.

This upset Darius, and he turned to look at the car. It cost half a million, which Erin had gotten in Almiron City. He could understand that the car was too cheap to make them spring into action, but he couldn't accept the fact that their attitude was affecting their work performance.

Erin's heart started to race at the displeasure on Darius’ face. She knew that he was starting to feel dissatisfied with the hotel, so she quickly got out of the car. "Mr. Reid, this is the best hotel that I could find in Almiron City. If you're unhappy with it or with the car, I'llimmediately arrange for you to stay elsewhere. Please, don't allow this to affect your mood."

Darius looked at her, surprised. "I don't mean that. I think these employees don't have the right frame of mind. Their lackadaisical attitude has resulted in Edward being unable to park the car in the correct spot because he doesn't know a thing about this place."

Realization dawned on Erin. She walked over to the employees and said, "I don’t think that you people should be standing around here like this. You should be helping to park the car. Also, none of you came to welcome us. This is a disgrace to your hotel’s service standards."
