章 256: Mission Milestones within Sight

An alarm sounded, waking Zachary from a deep slumber. Eyes still closed, he extended his hand by reflex to turn off the bedside alarm clock. He'd slept late the previous night after partying with teammates to celebrate Rosenborg's first trophy of the season. He was still feeling dazed and hoped to stay in bed a bit longer.

Moreover, he had the day off and wasn't worried that he would be late for any training sessions with the team. Thus, he went back under the covers, intending to put in a few more hours of sleep after silencing the annoying alarm clock. However, just as he was beginning to sink into slumberland again, his phone started ringing, rousing him to full attention.

"Who could be calling at this time of the morning?" He mumbled under his breath, shifting and rolling around under the covers. He was feeling irritable after the annoying interruption of his sleep.
