“Biomedical medicine?”


    Hannah sounded confused.


    “Is the Pierce family involved in biomedical medicine now?”


    She recalled that the Pierce family’s business was predominantly in finance, focusing on investment banking and equity funds.Belongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    She wondered how they had branched into a partnership with a biomedicalpany.


    Maloney’s voice,ced with amusement, came through the phone, saying, “The pharmaceutical sector could be a promising direction.


    It’s wise to start early.


    Plus, even if I’m out of my depth, I have you to assess the project and determine if it’s worth pursuing.


    ”


    Hannah was silent for a moment; she hadn’t been very busy since her recent return anyway.


    Then there was Bryson…


    Her thoughts briefly lingered on him; he had seemed unusualst night, and she pondered what might have urred.


    Hannah shook her head as she held the phone, not wanting to deal with that awful man!


    After having her and not saying a word, he just ran away!


    The more she thought about it, the more enraged she became, biting her lip in frustration and resolving to confront him if they crossed paths again!


    After a lengthy pause with no reply from Hannah, Maloney pulled the phone from his ear to check if the call had ended.


    Realizing it was still connected, he brought the phone back to his ear and asked, “Are you listening?”


    “Tam.


    ”


    Snapping back to reality, Hannah responded calmly, “No, I won’t attend.


    This is your deal to discuss.


    I don’t want to get involved.


    ”


    Anticipating Hannah’s refusal, Maloney nced at a woman nearby, his lips curled slightly.


    “There’s another matter here that might pique your interest.


    ”


    Hannah was skeptical.


    “Usually when you say something will interest me, it means you’re scheming to get me involved, right?”


    Maloney’s tone turned slightly hurt.


    “You’re misunderstanding me.


    I’m serious.


    You’ll regret noting.


    ”


    “Oh?” Indifferently, Hannah said, “Then… you’ll just have to wait for my regret.


    ”


    Seeing that she wasn’t budging, Maloney clicked his tongue.


    “You’re the expert on biomedical stuff; why not give me a hand?”


    Still on the phone, Hannah responded, “If I’m helping, it’s not going to be for free.


    ”


    “Of course, that’s no problem,” Maloney replied.


    “If you help me assess the project, I’ll give you twenty percent of the profits.


    ”


    His generous offer seemed to lift Hannah’s spirits slightly.


    “Alright, should I head over right now?”


    “No need.


    ” Maloney checked the time and said, “I’ll be around for a few more days.


    The surroundings here are lovely.


    Call me when you arrive, and I’ll pick you up.


    ”


    Lovely surroundings?
