Chapter 44: Chapter 44: A Moment of Restraint

As they sat on the couch, lost in the passion of their kiss, Roman's hands began to wander, seeking to undress Sophia. But she gently stopped him, her lips still pressed against his, and whispered, "Not yet, my love." She pulled back, her eyes shining with a soft light, and smiled lovingly at him.

Roman's face was flushed with desire, but he nodded understandingly, his eyes never leaving hers. Sophia sat up, her movements graceful, and patted the couch beside her. "Come on, we'll continue that later. Now, tell me about your car," she said, her voice filled with genuine interest.

Roman's smile returned, and he settled in beside her, eager to share his story. "Well, it's a long story, but I'll try to keep it short," he began, launching into the tale of his software solution and his trip to MedTech. He told her about the meeting with Saanvi Patel, leaving out the details of their flirtation, and the ride with Alex that had led to him buying the car.
