Book8 Chapter1.

A once-in-a-century thunderstorm paralyzed the entire city's traffic.

The movie theater closed. I had no umbrella and couldn't get a cab. I could only limp towards the street in my heels.

My phone rang. It was Leo calling.

He asked me impatiently, "Where are you? A married woman out this late and not home yet."

My silence fueled his annoyance.

"Are you mute, Gigi?"

"I'm at the Panaxes Movie Theater."

Hearing this, Leo finally remembered our date.

After a few seconds of silence, he said coldly, "Send me your location. I'm coming over now."

I didn't plan to let him pick me up, but someone accidentally bumped into me.

I fell into the mud. My left ankle swelled up, and I couldn't walk far.

One hour and twenty-three minutes after I sent my location.

In the storm, I curled up miserably and checked my messages with him one last time before my phone died.

Leo didn't come, and there was no message.

Eventually, a kind driver took me to a nearby hotel.
