Chapter 134 It was well-known that Grant Corporation was very strict with its entry requirements. Every candidate would have to pass a strict interview and written exam. There were several assessments and obstacles during the process. It was so that the remaining candidates at the end were all the strongest and most dependable. For example, someone like Heidi.

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

Back then when I got into Grant Corporation, I had to go 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 helpedget sstew and spoke gently," Aren't you hungry? Have sstew 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. This year's recruitment is just around the corner, you can give it a try." I was speechless. Everyone knew about Grant Corporation's recruitment process. President Sherman 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 sstrings before the recruitment. With just a few words, Theo had directly turned them down.

President Sherman and his wife were feeling awkward. The young lady's expression had changed a s well even though she was excited just a moment ago. I could not bear to see them like this, so I said, " Miss Sherman graduated from a top university. She has all the right qualifications. She's exactly 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 the young lady looked happy as well.

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

After dinner, we went out together. While waiting for the valet attendant to get our car, President Sherman 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 the wind and started shuddering. Theo reached out and pulledinto his arms. Then, he wrappedin his clothes. His body warmedup immediately.

At this moment, a white luxury car stopped in front of us. A man who wore glasses cout of the car 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, Benny Sherman. He couldn't make it today as he was caught up with something. I just wanted you to meet him." Theo shot Benny a glance. There was a slight change in his eyes, but he did not say anything. He nodded silently.

I was slightly confused but I did not think much of it. When I heard Mrs. Sherman introduce her son as the vice president of Newlight Media, I could not help but pay more attention to him. Benny looked familiar to me, 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 felt comfortable being held by him.

However, I pushed his hand away. "You're driving. Be careful." "Are you concerned about me?" He stared atwith 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 serious expression.

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'sm matter, but I was afraid that it might make him unhappy. Hence, I could only shut my mouth.

We did not talk. I could not help but think about President Sherman's son. I was surprised that he was in the media industry. Normally, those born in a family of doctors would end up in medical school as well. Heidi's boyfriend flashed across my mind.

He also drove a white BMW car. I felt uneasy. I was pregnant, so even though I had something on my mind, I still fell asleep while on the long journey back home.

Theo sawsleeping like a baby. He carriedupstairs in his arms.m When we were in the room, he laydown on the bed. I planned to continue to sleep. However, he walked towardand lifted the covers. Be good. Go bathe before you sleep." "Um," I replied, but I did not move.
