SWNOVELS Chapter 2219
"That's why it's a reward," Rosalynn glanced at her watch, "I'm in a rush to get to the airport. I gotta run."
Mike, towering at six-foot-three, stood at the crosswalk, watching Rosalynn's car shrink into the distance. A child-like glee spread across his face.
He had been thinking about asking Ms. Gabriella for one of those fancy VIP cards, dreaming about a discounted stay on that paradise island during his vacation.
But to his surprise, Ms. Gabriella offered him a plot of land instead-his very own to build the little house he'd always imagined!
Mike was on cloud nine. Humming a tune, he made his way back to the institute.
Rose had plans to grab some coffee with someone, but they were barely halfway through their catch-up when she got a text from Rosalynn, asking her to meet at the airport.d2
The end of the year meant a pile-up of tasks at Bane Corporation, and Rose knew Rosalynn was swamped. But she hadn't expected her to spend less than two hours at the institute before heading back to H City.
She quickly wrapped up her meeting and hustled to the airport.
"Did I keep you from your friend?" Rosalynn asked, a hint of guilt in her voice.
Rose shook her head, "I didn't meet any friend."
"That's good then." Rosalynn nodded and returned her focus to the documents on her iPad.
Rose, sitting opposite her, pulled out a box of cookies from her purse. "These are from my favorite bakery. They make amazing cookies."
"Thank you," Rosalynn took the box, smiling. "I would love a good cookie."
Rose beamed, "Glad to hear that. If you like them, I can always have the baker ship some over to you."
"OK," Rosalynn agreed.
Despite the weariness from constant travel, Rosalynn's happiness was evident.
"How's Mr. Silverman's recovery going?" Rose asked, making small talk.
"Penn's even more talented than I expected," Rosalynn nodded with satisfaction, "Wayne is doing great. Penn will assess him in a few days, and if all goes well, Wayne should be home by the end of the month. After some treatment cycles with the medication at home, he should be nearly back to normal."
Rosalynn took a deep breath as she spoke, visibly relieved.
Rose caught the change in Rosalynn's expression, "That's wonderful news. On one hand, President Silverman will get better, and on the other, if the medication hits the market, it could benefit many patients and bring in a significant profit for you!"
"True," Rosalynn smiled and nodded. "But it'll take a while before it goes to market. You're getting experience at Bane Corporation; if you can earn the board's approval by then, I'd like you to handle the marketing and promotion of the medication."
Rose was taken aback. She was no longer a complete novice and understood the magnitude of such an opportunity. Rosalynn was entrusting her with it?
"Before I left, Dr. Lange had a lot of good things to say about you," Rosalynn's demeanor softened, "Although you're not related by blood, you're almost like siblings. I think Penn would be thrilled if you were in charge of the medication's rollout."
"I won't let you down!" Rose nodded earnestly.
Outside, unnoticed by the two, a mist had enveloped the area, and a gentle rain began to fall.
"Looks like there'll be a delay," Rose mentioned.
"Yeah, I just hope we can make tomorrow's meeting," Rosalynn added, glancing outside.
Rose then excused herself to grab a coffee for Rosalynn and stood up to leave.
Rosalynn lifted her eyes to watch Rose's retreating figure before her gaze returned to the iPad.
