What She Overheard in Her Own Marriage novel Chapter 525

Kaia paused, looking at him.

Miles's gaze carried a hint of caution, mixed with a touch of helplessness.

"If you really want to thank me, just pick out a small gift for me some other time. I prefer returning the favor that way," Miles said with a smile.

Kaia nodded. "Alright. I'll get you a gift to say thank you."

"Good. Let's go, the restaurant is on the third floor." Miles opened the door. "Hungry?"

Kaia nodded, and the two walked shoulder-to-shoulder out of the room toward the restaurant.

Throughout dinner, they mostly discussed work. Since Kaia was freshly divorced, Miles carefully avoided touching on anything that might upset her.

Three days later, Kaia was scheduled to lead her team to a coastal city for a week-long, in-depth technical exchange with Cytogene.

The project revolved around Cytogene's top-three global research pipeline: a Novel Bispecific Antibody designed to treat a specific type of autoimmune disease.

The antibody's mechanism was incredibly complex. Cytogene had tested the waters with seven different research teams globally, and none had delivered satisfactory clinical data. This time, Kaia was stepping into the arena representing Veridian, drawing immense attention from Cytogene.

Kaia and her team had spent nearly half a month untangling the target's spatial structure, proposing an entirely new model based on the original foundation. The new model showed stellar performance—it allowed the antibody to maintain a low affinity in the bloodstream, avoiding excessive clearance of diseased tissue.

When Cytogene's Scientific Advisory Board saw the data she submitted, they immediately sent an invitation for a technical meeting.

This conference would serve as the key to officially launching the project. They would establish a preliminary collaboration framework: Veridian would handle the core molecular design and early process development, while Cytogene would take on subsequent global clinical trials and commercialization.
