Their ninth generation medical robot is truly a revolutionary marvel.”
Relieved that Loraine was not suspicious of him, Marco felt a smile tug at the corners of his mouth as he heard
her accolades for his company.
His eyes sparkled with delight, his grin broadened as he responded, “As long as it helps you.”
Sullivan was quietly observing their conversation, carefully gauging their reactions.
Crossing his arms and shaking his head lightly, Sullivan interjected,

Laughing and touching his nose, Sullivan responded, “Marco, you seem quite fond of this woman. Is she your
girlfriend?”
Loraine was taken aback yet resigned to the fact that Sullivan chose to jest at such a moment.
Marco's eyes took on a stern look.
Only then, noticing Marco’s cautious demeanor, Sullivan got serious.
His deep blue eyes peeking from beneath his untamed hair seemed filled with wisdom and honesty.
“Okay, no more fun and games. Our president has given the green light to Lend you our medical robot. This
video conference is to finalize the contractual terms and sign a non-disclosure agreement. Please feel at ease.”
Loraine was speechless for a while before she could whisper, “Thank you...”
