"Dad, are you talking about the same competitor as before?" Layla asked worriedly after taking her seat.
Elliot raised an eyebrow. "You know which company 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!" Layla used to spend a lot of time with 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? I 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 your company 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 that company as a spy."
Layla shot him a glare. "You have the imagination of a movie director."
"I'm just thinking that because I know Geo Worldwide Cooperation is Dad's competitor! 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?" Layla 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 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 had completely 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. "I meant that for all of you."
Robert opened an umbrella and handed it to Layla. "Drive safe, Layla."
