The Woman From Hell
Chapter 133

Chapter 133

Her eyes were gleaming and there was a smile plastered across her face. She looked happy.

I could not help but get curious. Who was that lucky man who won Heidi's heart?

I gazed at the driver's seat. It was a man in his 30s who looked like a well-mannered guy. Heappeared decent. It was a shame that he was too far away, so I could not get a good look at him.

Theo’s car stopped beside me while I was deep in thought.

After I got in the car and looked up again, the white luxury car was gone.

"What caught your attention? You were lost in thought just now." Theo furrowed his brows andhelped me fasten my seat belt.

"I just saw someone I know." I pulled back a little and decided to not think about it anymore.

Soon, we arrived at the city's most exclusive Western restaurant. After leaving the car key to thevalet attendant, Theo held my hand and we went upstairs.

Upstairs, President Sherman and his wife were already waiting at the entrance of the private room.There were two other people in the same industry

with them. One of them was Doctor Lawson, who treated me every time. Another one was a prettyyoung woman.

After a round of introductions, I learned that the young lady was President Sherman’s niece. Shewas 1 7 or 18, looking absolutely innocent and lovely.

"President Grant, Mrs. Grant, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you’ve been to our hospital a few times.Please excuse my inhospitality." President Sherman smiled and gave a few words of pleasantries.

"It’s nothing. We’d like to thank the doctor at your hospital. She has commendable skills.” Theo hadalways been like this. He was complimenting someone, but he looked distant and austere. Therewas not even a smile on his face.

Doctor Lawson seemed to recall the last two times when she had chided Theo. Her expressionchanged a little and she seemed awkward.

"Mrs. Grant, I've talked to our hospital's best gynecologist specialist. She'll be your family physicianin the future. And she'll take care of you while you're pregnant. You may look for her if there'sanything you need. She's just one call away."

"Yes, Mrs. Grant. If there's anything, just call me right away," Doctor Lawson said respectfully.However, it was obvious that she hated occasions like this. Still, It was for the president's sake. Itwas inappropriate for her to say anything more.

This was an unfair society. One would have the right t o speak once one had money and power.

I stood up immediately, picked up my drink, and said," Thank you, President Sherman. That's verynice of you. Here's a toast to you."

"It's nothing. It's my pleasure, Mrs. Grant. It’s something I should do." President Sherman smiledand downed his glass of wine.

I raised my glass and spoke to Doctor Lawson," Special thanks to you too, Doctor Lawson. I'vetroubled you the last few times. I've always wanted to thank you personally. Here's a toast to you aswell."

Doctor Lawson's expression was better now. She stood up and said, "It's my pleasure, Mrs. Grant.I'm glad that I could be of help."

"Mrs. Grant, this restaurant is famous for its chicken stew. Try some later," the president's wifesmiled and said.

"Really? Then I must try some of it later..."

After a few words of pleasantries, the atmosphere became lively as everyone started talking.

The young lady beside President Sherman was continuously pulling on his sleeve as if she washinting at something. After a few drinks, President Sherman turned to look at Theo and me. He wasred in the face as he spoke, "I didn’t only invite both of you here for dinner today. I’d like to ask for afavor from

you, President Grant and Mrs. Grant.”

Theo was holding his glass of wine. He did not say anything, and there was no expression on hisface. I could not see what he had in his mind.

President Sherman, who had been hesitating to speak, was being put on the spot. His face turnedred and he did not know what to say.

I could not bear to see the aged President Sherman in such an awkward state, so I spoke first, "It'sfine, President Sherman. We've been working together for years. If there's anything, you can tell usstraight away. We'll do the best of our ability."

Theo looked at me and wore a faint smile on his face. There was an unknown look in his eyes.

President Sherman smiled and continued, "Actually, m y niece has just graduated from university.Her family has been trying to get a job for her. But she's stubborn, and she refuses to work in othercompanies. Her target is to get into Grant Corporation. We all know that Grant Corporation has strictentry requirements, s o I'd like to ask President Grant and Mrs. Grant to do m e a favor by gettingher a job there."

I was startled for a moment. Then, I turned to look at Theo. I thought President Sherman would talkabout the collaboration. I did not expect it would turn out like this. I regretted my impulsive act justnow.
