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.
