Behind The Spotlight Chapter 5
Collin stretched his arms and groaned in pleasure, feeling the tension melt from his shoulders as he welcomed the start of a new day. He stood up and looked at the mirror. Even though he had toned down going to the gym, his body was still looking great. He combed through his black hair as his deep green eyes adjusted to the light.
He bid farewell to his mother, who kept telling him to rest for one more day. Evelyn was still worried about her son.
But Collin had been resting for two days after leaving the hospital. He had been lying around the house and catching up on sleep, old TV shows, and his mother's endless advice.
He had to return to work, or else he might get fired for slacking off too long or worse, be forgotten and his cubicle occupied... He was on sick leave, so probably not, but the fear still lingered in his gut.
Anyway, he had talked to the management and said that he would return to work today. He made it clear that he was ready to jump back in and handle his work.
He had to. There was no other choice if he wanted to move forward. He had to start the preparation for Wyatt's upcoming project. An unexpected project that had been decided after Collin saw the golden words above Wyatt's head.
Collin couldn't explain it, not in words that made logical sense. But he felt like this was an opportunity that he had to take. To grab with both hands, no matter what. Even if it meant putting his career at risk.
Wyatt was not the only one who was taking a bet here, Collin was also doing the same.
