Luca's research was well-received after several clinical trials.

The company's marketing department conducted a survey and found that if they priced it right, most medical institutions expressed interest in purchasing the drug in bulk for their patients.

"Mm, this decision is right for the company's future." Luke pressed his lips on her neck.

Luca followed his movements and fell onto the bed. She went soft as she felt his tender and fiery kisses.
