A New Chapter

Derek’s POV

It was his first day at the summit and he was feeling confident. He knew he could nail it. With all the proposals that were going to come in his hands, he was going to leave everyone else behind.

Things were going perfectly fine when he received a call from Home. It was strange, but he disconnected it. Even a second has not been passed and the phone rang again. He cursed under his breath and threatened the other person on the line.

“If it is not as important as my life, then you are dead.” His low voice was enough to threaten even the Satan.

His housekeeper Mrs. Singh spoke in a scared voice, “Mr. Anderson…”

“Just spill.” Derek seethed. he hated his time being wasted on uimportant things.

“Miss Anderson has woken up.”

The ground slipped from under Derek's feet and his world went numb. It was a moment he was waiting for years. These were the words his ears were yearning to listen. He couldn’t react.

The person at the lectern was calling his name, but Derek was not present.
