CEO’s Surrender: With You, I Can Never Win

Chapter 2

After all, he had consulted medical professionals from all over the world and none of them had been able to help him.

Finley grinned at Bryan’s skepticism. “My maternal grandfather is an ENT specialist who did extensive research into smell disorders. My mother was one of the world’s top perfumers. I learned from both of them and married the two skills.”

“Why must you marry me?”
