"That's all everyone, thank you for all of your hard work," Dr. Villanueva said as he wrapped up today's meeting with the team.
The doctors seated around the conference table rose to their feet, stretching and exchanging brief nods of acknowledgment for the day's progress. As they filed out of the room, Dr. Villanueva gathered his own notes and turned off the projector.
The room quieted, the buzz of discussions replaced by the soft clicking of the cooling projector and the shuffle of papers.
He made his way to the small kitchenette adjacent to the meeting room. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the space—a welcome scent for Dr. Villanueva who had planned an all-nighter to finalize the compilation of data on Medipod's successful treatments. He poured himself a large cup, appreciating the warmth that spread through his hands.
