Chapter 134

It was well-known that Grant Corporation was very strict with its entry requirements. Everycandidate would have to pass a strict interview and written exam. There were several assessmentsand obstacles during the process. It was so that the remaining candidates at the end were all thestrongest and most dependable. For example, someone like Heidi.

People would fight to get into Grant Corporation during the recruitment every year. Once you wereemployed in Grant Corporation, you would not only be getting a well-paid job but it was also astatus symbol.

Back then when I got into Grant Corporation, I had to g o through those assessments as well.

The young lady was looking at Theo with excitement. The look of admiration was clear in her eyes.

Theo put down his wine glass at a leisurely pace. Then, he helped me get some stew and spokegently," Aren’t you hungry? Have some stew first. It's good."

I lowered my head to take a sip of the stew. It resolved the awkward situation.

Then, he looked at President Sherman and shot a glance at the young lady who was staring at him.His attitude was tepid. "I'm guessing you must all be

aware that Grant Corporation has to follow the standard recruitment process when hiring talents.Back when my wife joined the company, she wasn't exempted from the assessments either. Thisyear's recruitment is just around the corner, you can give it a try."

I was speechless. Everyone knew about Grant Corporation's recruitment process. PresidentSherman had only brought it up because he was worried that his niece would not be able to get in,hence he was trying to pull some strings before the recruitment. With just a few words, Theo haddirectly turned them down.

President Sherman and his wife were feeling awkward. The young lady’s expression had changed as well even though she was excited just a moment ago. I could not bear to see them like this, so Isaid, " Miss Sherman graduated from a top university. She has all the right qualifications. She'sexactly the talent that we want. We'll wait for you in Grant Corporation."

After I said so, President Sherman and his wife's expressions were more relaxed now while theyoung lady looked happy as well.

They had probably misunderstood what I meant. I did not say anything more, lest I disappointedthat young lady. Besides, Theo had stopped speaking as well. Hence, the atmosphere lightened upagain.

After dinner, we went out together. While waiting for the valet attendant to get our car, PresidentSherman and his wife were waiting for their son to pick them u P-

It had been raining these past few days. It would be chilly in the morning and at night. I stood in thewind and started shuddering. Theo reached out and pulled me into his arms. Then, he wrapped mein his clothes. His body warmed me up immediately.

At this moment, a white luxury car stopped in front of us. A man who wore glasses came out of thecar and spoke to President Sherman, "Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I was delayed.”

Mrs. Sherman brought him over to us. "President Grant, Mrs. Grant, this is my son, BennySherman. He couldn't make it today as he was caught up with something. I just wanted you to meethim."

Theo shot Benny a glance. There was a slight change i n his eyes, but he did not say anything. Henodded silently.

I was slightly confused but I did not think much of it. When I heard Mrs. Sherman introduce her sonas the vice president of Newlight Media, I could not help but pay more attention to him. Bennylooked familiar to m e, but I could not remember where I had seen him before.

Soon, our car arrived. Everyone waved goodbye before leaving.

After I got into the car, I felt tired, and I leaned on the seatback and spaced out.

"Are you still feeling cold?" Theo reached out and held my hand. His palm was warm, and I feltcomfortable being held by him.

However, I pushed his hand away. "You’re driving. Be careful."

"Are you concerned about me?" He stared at me with a smile.

"I'm just worried about myself and the baby in my belly," I replied sulkily.

"Don't worry. I’d die to protect you and the baby." He was staring far away with a deadly seriousexpression.

I did not know what to say at that moment, so I might as well close my eyes.

I wanted to ask him why he was suddenly investigating Xander's matter, but I was afraid that itmight make him unhappy. Hence, I could only shut m y mouth.

We did not talk. I could not help but think about President Sherman's son. I was surprised that hewas i n the media industry. Normally, those born in a family of doctors would end up in medicalschool as well. Heidi's boyfriend flashed across my mind. He also drove a white BMW car. I feltuneasy.

I was pregnant, so even though I had something on m y mind, I still fell asleep while on the longjourney back home.

Theo saw me sleeping like a baby. He carried me upstairs in his arms. When we were in the room,he lay me down on the bed. I planned to continue to sleep.

However, he walked toward me and lifted the covers. Be good. Go bathe before you sleep."

"Um," I replied, but I did not move.
