“Thank you,” Xiomara replied graciously.
Clad in a simple white blouse and denim shorts, Xiomara exuded an understated elegance.
Though Leonel’s demeanor remained composed, his gaze wandered towards her, momentarily fixating on her slender legs.
After a beat, he withdrew his gaze, returning to his seat.
“This collaboration aims to promote a specific medication for combating obesity.
In the event of potential online disturbances, our company pledges to issue a statement and extend public relations support when needed.
”
Leonel exhibited consideration in every aspect, elucidating his thoughts to Xiomara with meticulous detail.
The compensation offered far surpassed any previous propositions Xiomara had received.
Listening attentively for an extended duration, Xiomara found her meticulously crafted plans obsolete.
Rather than detecting any flaws, she felt honored by the proposition.
Clasping her fists, she pondered for a moment before finally speaking.
“Given my current standing, I’m uncertain if such a _ generous remuneration is within reach.
Are you certain this is a collaborative contract with me, Mr.
Lopez?”
Leonel nodded warmly, affirming to Xiomara.
“Indeed, it’s the outcome of our discussion.
Rest assured, I hold you in high regard.
As the first individual to undergo successful weight loss with our medicine and being affiliated with Lindsey, you’re uniquely positioned for this collaboration.
You truly deserve this remuneration.
”
Moved by his words, Xiomara rose from her seat and bowed to Leonel, expressing her gratitude.
“Thank you for your trust, Mr.
Lopez.
”
“Since we’re embarking on a future collaboration, there’s no need for such formality.
You may call me Leonel,” Leonel remarked, extending his hand.
Gazing at Xiomara, he added, “Here’s to a fruitful partnership.
”
With a radiant smile, Xiomara shook his hand and replied, “Agreed, Leonel.
Here’s to a successful collaboration!”
As Leonel presented the contract, Xiomara perused it briefly, employing techniques she learned from Lindsey.
Finding no issues, she promptly signed it, expressing her gratitude before departing with a contented heart.
Observing Xiomara’s graceful departure, Leonel couldn’t help but smile and chuckle softly.
Meanwhile, in Morcastle General Hospital’s small garden, Lindsey tenderly wheeled Sumner into the sunlight.
From time to time, she leaned in and checked on Sumner, asking if he was okay, if he needed water, or if he was feeling too hot.
The doctor emphasized that since this was Sumner’s first outing after the operation, he required extra care.
If Sumner felt any discomfort, he should return to his ward promptly.
Unbeknownst to them, a figure lurked in the shadows of a nearby tree.
Sumner unintentionally turned around and locked eyes with Domenic, who stood in the shadows.
A shadow seemed to pass over Sumner’s eyes, his eyebrows Lifting slightly in surprise.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
He then rubbed his temples with a furrowed brow.
Observing Sumner’s reaction, Lindsey quickly squatted in front of him, expressing concern.
“Is something wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Should we head back to the ward?”
Sumner stifled a cough with his hand before speaking weakly.
“I have a headache, Lindsey.
Could you please ask the doctor for some medication? I’d like to stay in the sun a bit longer.
”
Lindsey gently patted Sumner’s back to soothe him.
Concern evident in her voice, she asked, “Are you sure it’s alright for you to stay here alone?”
Intentionally, Sumner placed his hand over Lindsey’s and offered a reassuring smile.
“Don’t worry.
I’ll be fine.
”
After a brief moment of hesitation, Lindsey noticed Sumner’s pained expression and relented, saying, “I’ll be back soon.
Just wait for me here.
