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. He appeared decent. It was a shthat he was too far away, so I could not get a good look at him.

Theo's car stopped besidewhile 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 and helpedfasten 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 the valet 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 sindustry with them. One of them was Doctor Lawson, who treatedevery time. Another one was a pretty young woman.

After a round of introductions, I learned that the young lady was President Sherman's niece. She was 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 had always been like this. He was complimenting someone, but he looked distant and austere. There was not even a smile on his face.

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

"Mrs. Grant, I've talked to our hospital's best gynecologist specialist. She'll be your family physician in the future. And she'll take care of you while you're pregnant. You may look for her if there's anything you need. She's just one call away." "Yes, Mrs. Grant. If there's anything, just callright away," Doctor Lawson said respectfully. However, it was obvious that she hated occasions like this. Still, It was for the president's sake. It was inappropriate for her to say anything more.

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

I stood up immediately, picked up my drink, and said," Thank you, President Sherman. That's very nice 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 smiled and downed his glass of wine.

I raised my glass and spoke to Doctor Lawson," Special thanks to you too, Doctor Lawson. I've troubled you the last few times. I've always wanted to thank you personally. Here's a toast to you as well." 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 slater," the president's wife smiled and said. "Really? Then I must try sof it later..." After a few words of pleasantries, the atmosphere beclively as everyone started talking.

The young lady beside President Sherman was continuously pulling on was his sleeve as if slow drink an something. After a few President Sherman turned to look at Theo and me. He was red in the face as he spoke, "I didn't only invite both of you here for dinner today. I'd like to ask for a favor 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 his face. 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 turned red and he did not know what to say.

I could not bear to see the aged President Sherman in such an awkward state, so spoke first, 'It's fipe, President Sherman. We've been working together for years. If there's anything, you can tell us straight away. We'll do the best of our ability." Theo looked atand wore a faint smile on his face. There was an unknown look in his eyes.

President Sherman smiled and continued, "Actually, my 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 other companies. Her target is to get into Grant Corporation. We all know that Grant Corporation has strict entry requirements, so I'd like to ask President Grant and Mrs. Grant to doa favor by getting her a job there." I was startled for a moment. Then, I turned to look at Theo. I thought President Sherman would talk about the collaboration. I did not expect it would turn out like this. I regretted my impulsive act just now.
