Just then, Khloe's phone rang, snapping her out of her spiraling thoughts. She answered with a few brief responses and headed straight into a meeting. A new product developed by the Morrison Group was about to be launched in the coming days. It was a drug that the R&D team had spent ten years developing and three years testing-an achievement forged from a decade of relentless effort and sacrifice.
