My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)
Chapter 131

Richard spoke a few words to Hendrix, then he turned to me, "Mrs. Roberts, this is Dr. Hilda Caulfield. She is an expert in the Obstetrics and Gynecology field. Per Mr. Roberts' request, Dr. Caulfield will be your primary care provider throughout your pregnancy. She'll put your best interest at her heart at all times."

Hilda smiled, "Mrs. Roberts, don't hesitate to contact me at any time if you have any questions in the future."

I grinned. Being educated with dining etiquette, I poured some juice into my glass. Then, I raised the glass to propose a toast to Richard, "It seems like I'm going to cause you more trouble in the future, Mr. Hammer. I, Arianna, would like to thank you in advance."

I kept to my manners, somehow managed to liven up the atmosphere at the table.

The conversation went on, and at one point, the young lady sitting next to Richard had hinted at him for so many times that I lost count. Richard finally looked towards Hendrix and me and spoke rather embarrassingly, "I invited the two of you intended to treat you guys to a decent meal. But I also have a personal request, which I hope both of you would be willing to help with."

At that point, it would be inappropriate for me to say anything else. Hence, I smiled lightly and said, "Mr. Hammer, you're most welcome. We have worked together for so many years, so there is no need for such formality. If you have anything you need help with, just tell us. We'll do our best."

Richard laughed and looked grateful upon hearing my words. At the same time, he was also too embarrassed to continue the topic.

Evelyn, who was sitting beside him, spoke for his sake, "The thing is, our niece right here has always wanted to work under the Roberts Group. She's shy, but she's smart. She has just graduated from university this year. We understand that the Roberts Group is very strict when it concerns young talents, but this child has been begging us for a few days now. I wonder if the both of you can do us a favor and help arrange a position for her in the Roberts Group."

I didn't know how to answer that, so I looked over to Hendrix. The Roberts Group had always been strict when it came to hiring new employees. We would go through multiple filtering processes to hire only a few people out of the applicants.

The first reason was that the Roberts Group was a listed company. The salary and benefits provided to the employees were far higher and better than other companies.

Secondly, the Roberts Group's work style was very hectic. Those who could stay for a long time in the Roberts Group would also have many good choices if they wanted to work for another company. After all, the Roberts Group had trained its employees through multiple processes that the other companies out there couldn't provide.

I also had to go through the proper hiring process when I first entered the Roberts Group. Thanks to that, I was able to advance my career step by step. Of course, there was also a certain someone helping me during that process.

I looked at the young lady and noticed that she was looking admirably at Hendrix. Her eyes were full of admiration, like a girl falling for a guy for the first time.

Hendrix didn't say anything after Evelyn had finished speaking. He just elegantly filled my bowl with soup, and he said in a low voice, "Have some more. It'll help you sleep better."

I nodded in reply. I was really curious as to how Hendrix would deal with Richard's request. He glanced at Richard and Evelyn, then he said, "It's the Roberts Group's honor to be valued by the both of you. I'm sure you are also aware that my wife had undergone the proper recruiting process to work for the Roberts Group. We'll be having a hiring event in June. Maybe Miss Hammer can try to apply at that time." Hendrix clearly wasn't well-versed in the art of dealing with people. I was a little speechless at his response.

He was indicating that Miss Hammer should rely on her own strength to enter the company.

Upon hearing Hendrix's words, Richard looked awkward, and the young lady's face fell. I had to speak up, "Since Miss Hammer graduated from one of the top universities, I'm sure your skills and specialization are of the first-class level as well. We will wait for your arrival at the Roberts Group, and I hope that we will be working under the same roof someday."

The young lady's face brightened up when she heard what I said. She looked at Hendrix timidly and asked, "Is that true?"

For someone who had just set foot into the real world, it was inevitable that she had expectations for the future. Hendrix had a sharp tongue, but fortunately, he was also a man of a few words. If he didn't need to talk, he wouldn't. Thus, his silence was somehow viewed as a form of agreement in the young lady's perspective.

Later, when we had wined and dined to satiety, the dinner finally came to an end.
