The sun was barely up and shining through the windows of the Quinton Mansion on a Sunday morning. Derek was already awake, doing his morning stretching exercise. Ever since living in the Quinton Mansion, Derek developed a early morning routine of morning stretching and static exercise. At least three times a week, Derek would do a morning run around the Quinton Mansion. He was in the midst of doing his static exercises when he heard a knock on his room door. Not wanting to be rude, Derek paused his routine and went to answer it. "Morning, Young Master Derek." It was Sandra, the housemaid. "Good morning, Sandra. How may I help you?" greeted Derek. Derek did not realise that he when he answered his room door, he was half naked and Sandra had a full view of his upper body chiselled arms, chest, six-pack washboard abs and all. Sandra gasped and blushed slightly before informing Derek her reason for knocking at his door. "Erm...Master and Madam Quinton wanted me to inform you that y

Desmond sighed, "It's a long story. I don'

"Well mum, give or take, I think I'll be ready in say....four to five years." replied Derek. "That sounds reasonable. You do know we have companies all over the world.
