Another Chance with You

Chapter 1 - Knoah

Chapter 1

Milly Sheridan, Knoah’s secretary, is in her desk busily typing the last page of her notes from the meeting to give to Knoah once he arrived from the boardroom. When she heard the ding of the elevator she quickly finished her work.

She waits for Knoah to get near at her table to give him the notes and tell him his schedule for the day.

“Mr. Sky, these are the notes from the meeting.” Milly handed the notes to Knoah.

“Thanks, Milly! What do I have to look forward to this day?”, asked Knoah as he quickly scans the paper Milly handed him while walking into his office.

“You have a meeting with Mr. Grandstone at 11:30. Though his secretary called requesting for you to wait, that Mr. Grandstone may be late a little bit. Your 3:00 is another meeting with Mr. Howard at the restaurant at Howard Hotel. That is all your important schedule for today, Sir”, stated Milly as she walks behind Knoah towards his office.

“Okay. Please call me when Mr. Grandstone arrives and join us in the meeting. Call Mr. Drake to ask the documents and review them for me. I want you to thoroughly examine them and give a full report to me tomorrow.”

“Yes, Sir. If that is all, I’d like to get back to my desk, Sir.”

Milly looked at Knoah for approval which he does quickly, nodding his head in agreement.

Just when he sits, the phone, a private and direct line, on his table rings. His heart beats fast hearing it and quickly picks it.

“Knoah Sky. Speak.”, answered Knoah.

"Mr. Sky, we found Crissy Fox living in Los Angeles. How do you wish us to proceed, Sir?"

"Sir? Are you still there?"

"Sir?", asked the person on the other line.

"I...Follow her, be her shadow. I want every details reported to me.", Knoah disconnected the call immediately.

Knoah Sky had never thought that this day will come. Five months had passed and each day was a misery not knowing her whereabouts. Is she safe? Is she happy? Is she with someone?

His heart ached thinking of what ifs. He clenched his fists so hard turning pale white, for all the emotional upheaval the past few months brought by the sudden disappearance of Crissy, the woman he thought to be 'THE ONE'.

Now that Crissy's found, he felt relieved but angry.

"How could she do this to me?"

He's confused why she left all of a sudden. No note, letter, email, phone call whatsoever. They were even flirting over their shared breakfast that morning the day she was gone.
