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 g o through those assessments as well.
The youngdy was looking at Theo with excitement. The look of admiration was clear in her eyes.
Theo put down his wine ss at a leisurely pace. Then, he helped me get some stew and spoke
gently," 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 nce at the youngdy 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 thepany, 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 some strings before the recruitment. With just a few words, Theo had
directly turned them down.
President Sherman and his wife were feeling awkward. The youngdy’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 rxed now while the
youngdy looked happy as well.
They had probably misunderstood what I meant. I did not say anything more, lest I disappointed
that youngdy. 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 pulled me into his arms. Then, he wrapped me
in his clothes. His body warmed me up immediately.
At this moment, a white luxury car stopped in front of us. A man who wore sses came out of the
car and spoke to President Sherman, "Dad, Mom, I''m sorry. I was dyed.”
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 nce. There was a slight change i n 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 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 felt
comfortable 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 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''s matter, but I was afraid that it
might 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 he
was i n the media industry. Normally, those born in a family of doctors would end up in medical
school as well. Heidi''s boyfriend shed across my mind. He also drove a white BMW car. I felt
uneasy.
I was pregnant, so even though I had something on m y mind, I still fell asleep while on the long
journey back home.
Theo saw me sleeping like a baby. He carried me upstairs in his arms. When we were in the room,
hey me down on the bed. I nned 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.
