Chapter 124 Darius looked at the gorgeous lady standing in front of him and quickly masked the
surprised expression that flitted across his face. Nevertheless, albeit it was only for a few seconds,
Janet Fox noticed his surprised reaction and felt pleased at that. That small instant was enough for her
to know that Darius was surprised at her identity. It meant that Darius knew who she was.
“Are you not going to offer me a seat, Darius?” Janet said playfully.
Her words jolted Darius from his thoughts, and he offered her a seat, before taking his back.
Darius looked at Janet expressionlessly, but his mind was going through turmoil at the moment. He had
no idea why Janet Fox, the second ranked beauty in Kingston University approached him. Darius was
incredibly poor some months ago, so even though he often heard the stories and gossips concerning
the top ten campus beauties, he never had the opportunity to interact with them.
It wasn’t until he discovered his true identity as the heir to the Reid consortium that he was able to
come in close contact with them. Yet, with how busy Darius was, he didn’t care about the top ten
campus beauties at all; or rather, he didn’t have the time to care about them. If it weren’t for his dislike
for the way the Gillette father and son duo conducted business, he wouldn’t have helped Pearl
Chamberlain at all.
The father and son duo conducted business with utterly despicable means, and so many innocent
people had fallen victims to their actions. There was no way Darius could let them continue to act as
they pleased, hence the reason he stepped in.
The last time Darius was in close contact with Janet Fox was during the Charity gala at this same hotel.
Even at that, he didn’t talk to her, so it was safe to say that they had nothing to do with one another.
This was why Darius was skeptical at Janet’s decision to approach him.
Meanwhile, Janet stared at Darius with a playful but curious gaze in her attractive blue eyes. She had
definitely heard of Darius Reid, as he was the infamous peasant of Kingston University. She had heard
so many rumors of him, so much that they were impossible to count, including how he was unable to
afford a meal.
Of course, she simply shut out such news and focused on her studies. She hated to engage in idle
gossips that were not beneficial to her in anyway. However, she was unable to block out the news of
Sarah Ginn’s break up with Darius for David
Lesley, a well known wealthy student in the University. This was a matter that spread throughout the
majority of Kingston University, so it was normal for someone of her status to have heard of it.
As usual, she simply ignored such news again, but just a few weeks later, Darius was completely
different from how she remembered him from the gossips. He was now driving a very luxurious sports
car, and was able to spend over $4.1 million in the charity gala. He even outbid the third ranked beauty
in Kingston University, Pearl Chamberlain, in the auction held in the charity gala!
This was the beginning of her interest in Darius Reid. He was the perfect example of from rags to
riches. The well known peasant in the university was now extremely wealthy. There was no one who
wouldn’t be curious. Surprisingly, after the charity gala, Darius became extremely low-key again.
Therefore, Janet barely received news about him again.
After the semester’s exams were concluded, Janet flew out of the city to take a vacation. She had just
returned recently in preparation for the new semester, and decided to have a meal at the Sky Golden
Hotel, as it was the most luxurious hotel in the district. Yet, she had just finished her meal and was on
her way out when she spotted a familiar figure sitting by the window. Having researched Darius before,
she instantly recognized the familiar figure sitting by the window.
Who would have thought that she would meet with Darius when she just came to have a meal? Elated
by the turn in events, she approached Darius. The conversation that ensued between them now led to
this moment.
Contrary to what Darius thought, Janet didn’t have any ulterior motive for approaching him. She was
simply interested in him, and therefore approached him to satiate her curiosity.
The two of them remained in silence for over a minute, and during their silence, a waiter came to clear
the table since Darius was done having his meal. When the waiter was faced with Janet’s gorgeous
appearance, shock and lust overcame his mind, and he felt the need to possess her. Yet, he dared not
act on his impulses.
Anyone who could dine at the Sky Golden Hotel was certainly someone with a status way higher than
him. He dared not cause any trouble, or he would be losing more than his job as a waiter. Besides, the
young man seated across the gorgeous lady was extremely handsome himself. While he didn’t know
the relationship the two shared, he knew it was not in his place for him to cause any trouble, so he
carried out his duties and left quietly. After the waiter’s departure, Janet took the initiative to speak and
finally broke the silence that the two of them maintained. Since Janet took the initiative to break the
silence, Darius didn’t want to turn her down outrightly. Hence, he
continued the conversation with her.
The two of them engaged in conversations about light topics, and Janet found her interest in Darius
increasing with each sentence Darius spoke. Most of the men she had conversed with were barely
productive, as the majority of their thoughts were filled with lustful desires, making her lose interest in
the conversation altogether
Darius, on the other hand, was nothing like them. He spoke freely with her, with no lustful intentions or
ideas in his responses. Janet didn’t know whether to be happy or angered at such a development. She
was used to seeing men make a fool out of themselves when they saw her beauty. In as much as she
refused to accept it, the fact that Darius was unaffected by her beauty was a significant blow to her
ego.
The conversation went on for more than thirty minutes before Darius called for it to end. During the
course of the duration, Darius was able to know more about Janet Fox, and he slightly relaxed his
stance towards her. Even though they were not exactly friends yet, there was no harm in making her
his acquaintance.
“Although I met you by chance today, it is a pleasurable meeting.” Janet said with a smile as she stood
up from her seat.
“The pleasure is mine, Miss Janet.” Darius replied just as politely.
“Please. There’s no need for the pleasantries. Just call me Janet.” Janet said; the smile still on her
face.
“Alright Janet.” Darius obeyed. He was already worn-out after the day’s activities, and wanted nothing
more than to book a room to rest.
Janet noticed his fatigued look and smiled knowingly. As her eyes were trained on Darius as they
walked, she didn’t notice a young man walking towards their direction with a dark expression on his
face. By the time Janet trained her eyes back on the road, she was already in close proximity with the
man, and they bumped into each other.
Janet had an apologetic expression on her face and was about to speak when the young man’s words
forced the words on the edge of her tongue down her throat.
“Damn it! You idiot!” Will you keep an eye on where you’re going?!” the young man cursed loudly in
anger.
The expression of apology that had been on Janet’s face instantly disappeared, and a cold expression
appeared on her face.
