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 Layla's car and her car shook before the airbag was released.
Startled, Layla 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 blame on Layla.
Layla stood and felt the rain on her face. She wiped away the rain, and once she confirmed that she did not feel any discomfort, she pushed the woman aside and walked back to the driver's seat to take out her umbrella before calling the police.
After explaining the situation, she proceeded to call the insurance company.
"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 Layla in a reasonable tone when he noticed that Layla was driving a luxurious car.
Layla was in a hurry to get home, so she agreed to the man's suggestion after a brief moment of consideration.
Half an hour later, a taxi stopped outside Eric's house, and Layla 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 Layla driving her car?" The maid muttered and grabbed an umbrella to welcome Layla inside.
