Aurora settled into her seat, her eyes meeting Mr. Harold's with a calm but determined expression. "Mr. Harold, I chose The Echelon for our meeting because of its discretion and the privacy it offers. I need to ensure that our conversation remains confidential."
Mr. Harold nodded, glancing around the room. "I understand, Miss Bernett. Given the sensitivity of our work, it's a wise choice."
Aurora continued, "As you're aware, our medical research team is making significant strides with the new painkiller drug. However, we need to secure additional funds to continue our research. I wanted to discuss this with you before our meeting with the potential investors."
Mr. Harold leaned forward, his expression serious. "Securing funding is crucial, especially at this stage. Have you identified potential investors?"
