The CEO's Mischievous Little Bride by Whispering Willow

Chapter 684 The Torrential Rain

Household matters occasionally troubled Patrick.

However, Randall was true to his word. Faced with a mountain of accumulated work, he felt the pressure when he first started, and his efficiency wasn't as high as before. Sometimes, he even worked overtime.

Twice, he forgot to pick up Susan from school.

After finishing his day's work, he went to Patrick's office to hand over some documents. Seeing the time on his phone, he immediately called Susan, "Susan, are you still waiting for me at school? It might rain soon. Find a place to take shelter, and I'll come pick you up after work."

"No, Randall, I took a cab home myself." She had waited at school for half an hour without seeing Randall, then noticing the weather turning bad, she quickly took a cab home. "Randall, I sent you a message. Did you not see it?"

Susan's tone was not at all resentful; she was always very understanding.

The summer weather was stuffy, and the sky was overcast.

Dark clouds gathered, making the sky look low.

The darkened sky made it get dark early. By six o'clock, the ground was already dim.

The large screen in the lobby of the Olteran Group was broadcasting weather changes, warning of heavy rain, and reminding everyone to take precautions.

The entrance of the Olteran Group also provided free umbrellas for employees who needed them.

The wind gradually picked up. Patrick was on the phone with his family, reassuring Vera. Anyone who came in to report work had to be quiet, as Patrick was comforting his wife and child.

Randall stood by and waited for a while.

"Theodore, take good care of Vera at home, don't cry, and let Vera hold you less, okay?"

Patrick smiled as he hung up the phone, then took the documents Randall handed over. "You didn't pick up Susan?"

"I was so busy today that I forgot. She went home by herself," Randall said.

Patrick looked through the documents and, without looking up, said to Randall,

"There's a heavy rainstorm across the city today. Driving isn't safe. Leave work early and go home."
