"Dad, are you talking about the samepetitor as before?" La asked worriedly after taking her seat.


    Elliot raised an eyebrow. "You know whichpany we are talking about?"


    "Of course! You never told me in person, but I overheard you while you were on a virtual meeting in your study!" La used to spend a lot of time with her father, and since Elliot had always seen La as a child, he would not avoid her when he was in business meetings.


    "Geo Worldwide Cooperation, right? I know this firm even if I''ve never heard anything from you," La 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 showed me the information about Geo Worldwide Cooperation earlier, and I thought that he intended on sending me to work in thatpany as a spy."


    La shot him a re. "You have the imagination of a movie director."


    "I''m just thinking that because I know Geo Worldwide Cooperation is Dad''spetitor! I might not be that capable right now and can''t help much with important matters, but I can work as a spy." "You must enjoy watching spy movies, don''t you?" La mocked.


    "Haha. It''s not like that matters since Dad wants me to be a basic salesperson."


    "Just get some experience and enhance your patience by working as an ordinary employee. You can''t fill a ss without emptying what''s inside first."


    "I know."


    After dinner, La 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 La''s car.


    "Mom, it''s still raining outside! Just stay inside." La grabbed the bag from Avery. "I meant that for all of you."


    Robert opened an umbre and handed it to La. "Drive safe, La."


    "Yeah. Take care of everyone," La 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.]Property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    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.

    [There''s no hurry. Take your time and stay safe.] Eric replied while waiting for her in the living room.


    The weather reminded him of disasters.


    La chuckled at his quick response. [Are you waiting for me in the living room with your phone in your hands?]


    Eric was instantly at a loss for words and La 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

    by the time she was in front of the traffic light.
