His Eagle Eyes on Me

Chapter 2827

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 blon 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 difort,

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 insurancepany.

"Miss, let's just settle this in private! You seem alright despite the damage to your car. | 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 wee Layla inside.

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

Layla sped up when she caught sight of Eric.

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

"My mom's work," Layla smiled sheepishly. "The rain is too heavy, so | 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 Layla.

The two soon arrived outside the door and as Layla changed into her slippers, she heard Eric's voice above her.

"Why didn't you drive home?"

"The rain is too heavy forto drive, so | chby taxi," she lied without hesitation.

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

Realization dawned on the maid as she had otten that Layla wasing hfrom Elliot's mansion.

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

Layla 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 Layla had gotten into an accident, he immediately dragged Layla 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 accident."
