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 shame that he was too far away, so I could not get a good look at him.
Theo’s car stopped beside me while 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 helped me fasten 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 same industry
with them. One of them was Doctor Lawson, who treated me every 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 call me right 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.
