Chapter 54
They all stood up and bowed lightly as Darius walked in. It showed that they were not ignorant about
the powerful background Darius had. Only when Darius had sat down at the head of the conference
table did the other people in the room sit.
The senior secretary to one of the upper echelon’s higher-ranking members passed several documents
to Darius before passing them around to the others present. When everyone had received the
documents, the secretary stood beside her superior. It was time fo
The meeting commenced with the unveiling of the new products invented by the various researchers in
the Innovative research department. Darius maintained a stoic face as he scanned the documents
given to him, but he was shocked at what he saw. The Nix Inc. really proved why they were worthy of
being the number i tech company in the country.
The documents contained the list of the products and the details about them, along with starting price
for their launch. The upper echelons started engaging in various discussions regarding the products,
with them asking Darius for his input from time to time.
After two hours, the whole board present finally concluded the meeting about the launch of the new
products. The date and venue for the launch was already chosen and the documents regarding the
launch signed by Darius.
With the first agenda on the meeting concluded, it was time for the second agenda, which was the
takeover of Numbers Int’l.
Although Darius had already reviewed the files sent to him by Bruce, he still reviewed the documents
the senior secretary handed over to him. The documents this time contained minute details about the
software company Numbers Int’l, ranging from the smallest worker to the employees at the highest
level. It was expected, as any takeover the Reid consortium was involved in was carefully monitored.
They had to make sure that everything was in place before they took ownership of the company.
Darius read through the documents leisurely. From the files Bruce sent him, Numbers Int’l was a
company with huge potential, but from what he read now, many of the employees were actually subpar.
He guessed that Rob must have been the one who singlehandedly raised Numbers Int’l to the level it
was at before his sudden death.
Darius frowned as he read through the details of the upper echelons of Numbers Int’l. When he signed
the documents, he would have to dismiss every one of the Numbers Int’l employees. He couldn’t have
such people working for him. He was still mulling over what improvements could be done to the
software company when he came across an employee details on the documents. He read it dutifully as
he did the other details, but as he read further, his look of nonchalance suddenly changed to shock.
When he was done reading the details about the employee in the documents, he brought out his phone
and sent a message to Bruce. Darius: (Look into this person for me and send me every of her detail.) It
didn’t take a few seconds before Darius’ phone pinged, signaling the arrival of a message.

Sure enough, Bruce had replied his message.
Bruce: (Certainly Young Master.)
Darius, satisfied with Bruce’s response, now focused on the meeting. Another hour passed with them
discussing the various ideas that could help improve the software company. After another thirty minutes
passed, the upper echelons finally concluded the meeting.
What followed after was straightforward. The contracts between the two companies were reviewed
carefully again by the company lawyers before Darius finally signed the contracts.
Having completed the tasks he attended the meeting for, Darius waved them goodbye before leaving
the conference room, allowing the upper echelons to conclude the meeting they had today.
His strides were swift as he walked to his car. He had barely sat down in his car when his phone pinged
again. Of course it was a message from Bruce. With how efficient Bruce was, he had already
completed the task Darius requested of him. Excited, Darius opened the file attached to the message
and started reading.
By the time Darius was done reading the file Bruce sent to him, there was a huge smile on his face.
Erin Chrysalis was a lady who came from a very poor family who lived in the countryside, an
underdeveloped area. She had gone to the local school in her countryside and bagged a scholarship
up to the tertiary level due to her incredible performance.
Due to her poor background, she had to work part time jobs in college so that she could take care of
her basic needs as her scholarship only covered her tuition and accommodation, a situation Darius
could relate to. However even with her poor living conditions, she made sure to send enough money to
her ailing parents back in the countryside.
When she finished her college education, she had spent a whole year searching for a suitable job.
Unfortunately, no one wanted to employ her without demanding something from her in return.
When she was at her last ends, her savior in Rob Bertrand appeared. Just weeks after he founded
Numbers Int’l, she applied to be an employee at his company. At that time, they were still sharing a
measly office building in a downtown area.
Rob himself had interviewed her, and because of his upright character, Erin was given the job. Together
with Rob and few other workers, they all worked tirelessly and watched Numbers Int’l grow to the
software giant that it was.
Erin was the happiest of them all when she witnessed the company’s rapid growth. She had watched
the company grow from being worth a few thousand dollars in a downtown area to a company worth
over 350 million dollars. She was even promoted to the position of vice president of the company.
Sadly, not all good things lasted. It was the case in her story. Just after she built a big house in
the countryside for her parents and was beginning to enjoy the fruits of her labor, misfortune came
knocking on her door.
The founder of the company she worked for and her mentor, Rob Bertrand suddenly died just after
announcing the release of his latest products. When she heard the news, she had gone numb with
shock How come someone she spoke with clearly on the phone the previous day was suddenly dead?
She found it simply unbelievable.
Before she could even process the shock she received from his death, the shares of the company
started dropping rapidly. As the vice president of the company, she pushed her grief away and focused
on keeping the company afloat.
In the end, all her efforts were useless. She was not a software engineer or a researcher, so she
couldn’t help the company in that aspect. Unfortunately that was the core of Numbers Int’l. As there
was no genius mind to maintain the quality of the products from the company, the shares of the
company hit rock bottom.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, the board of directors in the company called a meeting. They
had decided to sell the company to their direct competitor and the tycoon in the tech world, Nix Inc. for
a sum of $50 million.
Erin was at a loss. Even after her efforts, three months was all it took for the company she worked
blood and sweat for to become history. Unable to stomach the turn of events, she was now a regular at
Eve bar, an average bar in her district, where she drank away all her sorrows.
Darius smiled again as he recalled the details about Erin. After days of racking his mind on where to
get his personal assistant, he finally found someone who was just perfect for the job.
He looked at the time on his watch and saw that it was just the time the bar would open. He started his
car and drove off speedily.
