NovelOnline"Dad, are you talking about the samepetitor as before?" Layla asked worriedly after taking her seat.
Elliot raised an eyebrow. "You know whichpany we are talking about?"
"Of course! You never toldin person, but | overheard you while you were on a virtual meeting in your study!" Layla used to
spend a lot of twith her father, and since Elliot had always seen Layla as a child, he would not avoid her when he was in
business meetings.
"Geo Worldwide Cooperation, right? | know this firm even if I've never heard anything from you," Layla blurted out. "The owner of
this firm is kind of weird. It's like he is crazy, but he sure is sharp when it matters. Whenever yourpany chooses a project to
work with, this firm would follow your lead."
Robert chuckled. "Dad showedthe information about Geo Worldwide Cooperation earlier, and | thought that he intended on
sendingto work in thatpany as a spy."
Layla shot him a glare. "You have the imagination of a movie director."

"I'm just thinking that because | know Geo Worldwide Cooperation is Dad'spetitor! | might not be that capable right now and
can't help much with important matters, but | can work as a spy."
"You must enjoy watching spy movies, don't you?" Layla mocked.
"Haha. It's not like that matters since Dad wantsto be a basic salesperson."
"Just get sexperience and enhance your patience by working as an ordinary employee. You can't fill a glass without emptying
what's inside first."
"I know."
After dinner, Layla did not stay for too long.
The weather was harsh that night, and the sky hadpletely turned dark.
"Drive slow." Avery lifted the bag with the vase inside, intending to carry it to Layla's car.
"Mom, it's still raining outside! Just stay inside." Layla grabbed the bag from Avery. "| meant that for all of you."
Robert opened an umbrella and handed it to Layla. "Drive safe, Layla."
"Yeah. Take care of everyone," Layla said, before stepping into the rain.
She set the flower vase on the passenger's seat and fastened her seatbelt before starting to drive.
She had mentioned to Eric that she would be having dinner at her parent’s house, so he did not ask when she would be home.
As she reached the first traffic light, she stopped the car and sent him a message.
[Have you eaten? I've just finished dinner, and I'm leaving my parent's house.]
Eric replied almost immediately. [It's pouring outside. Drive safe.]
She grinned from ear to ear at his response. [It's not like I've never driven in the rain before. I've driven through worse.]
After she sent the message, the traffic light turned green, so she set her phone down and drove off.

Despite the weather, there were more cars on the road than usual.
At the third red light she encountered, she grabbed her phone in annoyance to text Eric as she looked at the long line of cars
ahead of her.
[I don't know what's going on, but there are a lot of cars on the road. It will probably take another half an hour forto get home.]
[There's no hurry. Take your tand stay safe.] Eric replied while waiting for her in the living room.
The weather reminded him of disasters.
Layla chuckled at his quick response. [Are you waiting forin the living room with your phone in your hands?]
Eric was instantly at a loss for words and Layla was amused when she saw Eric typing without sending a reply.
Suddenly, she heard the cars behind her honking and looked up to find that the cars ahead of her had moved forward.
She immediately set her phone aside and stepped on the accelerator, and there was only one second left until the light turned red
by the tshe was in front of the traffic light.
