She stepped on the brake to wait for the next green light, but the car behind her did not intend on stopping.


    "Baam!"


    The car behind bumped into the back of La''s car and her car shook before the airbag was released.


    Startled, La closed her eyes, feeling like her heart was about to leap out of her chest.


    Shortly after the airbag was released, someone knocked on her car window and she instinctively opened the door.


    As soon as she opened the door, the person outside reached out to anchor her.


    "Miss, are you alright? I''m sorry! My husband didn''t mean to bump into you. He just didn''t expect you to stop... There''s still a few seconds before the light turns red, and you would have gone through if you hadn''t stopped." The woman appeared to be apologizing but was actually trying to pin the me on La.


    La stood and felt the rain on her face. She wiped away the rain, and once she confirmed that she did not feel any difort, she pushed the woman aside and walked back to the driver''s seat to take out her umbre before calling the police.


    After exining the situation, she proceeded to call the insurancepany.


    "Miss, let''s just settle this in private! You seem alright despite the damage to your car. I will pay for the cost of repairing it." The woman''s husband approached La in a reasonable tone when he noticed that La was driving a luxurious car.


    La was in a hurry to get home, so she agreed to the man''s suggestion after a brief moment of consideration.From N?velDrama.Org.


    Half an hourter, a taxi stopped outside Eric''s house, and La stepped out of it with the bag containing the flower vase.


    When she went inside, both Eric and the maid spotted her.


    "Oh? Why isn''t La driving her car?" The maid muttered and grabbed an umbre to wee La inside.


    Eric, too, had stood from the couch and hurried toward the door.


    La sped up when she caught sight of Eric.


    "La, why didn''t you drive?" The maid walked over and took the bag from La''s hand. "You bought flowers? They are pretty."


    "My mom''s work," La smiled sheepishly. "The rain is too heavy, so I caught a taxi instead."


    "Yeah, that''s the safer option. It''s dangerous to drive in this weather! Eric has been waiting for you in the living room." The maid had been brought over to Eric''s house from Elliot''s mansion, so she was close to


    La.

    The two soon arrived outside the door and as La changed into her slippers, she heard Eric''s voice above her. "Why didn''t you drive home?"


    "The rain is too heavy for me to drive, so I came home by taxi," she lied without hesitation.


    Eric instantly spotted her lie. "From your parents'' ce? Would your parents really let you leave in a taxi?"


    Realization dawned on the maid as she had forgotten that La wasing home from Elliot''s mansion.


    "La, what''s going on?" the maid asked anxiously.


    La straightened her back and


    took a deep breath. "A car bumped into mine on my way back and sent my car to the workshop. I''m fine, though..."


    When Eric heard that La had gotten into an ident, he immediately dragged La to him and looked her over for injuries. "Have you gone to the hospital for a check-up?"


    "I''m fine, so there''s no need for that. The car just bumped into the back of my car by ident."
