The Abandoned Wife

Chapter 446

Early the following morning, Roxanne saw the message Larry had sent last night as soon as she awakened. It read: Are you free tomorrow? How about a meal together? She mulled over her work that day before texting back: At noon, then. We'll have lunch near the research institute.

On the other end of the phone, Larry promptly agreed.

As soon as it was noon, Roxanne received a call from Larry.

"Have you finished your work? I'm waiting for you at the research institute gates." Larry's voice rang out the instant she answered the call.

Roxanne happened to be discussing a recent project with Colby. When Colby saw her taking the call, he timely halted the conversation and waited at the side.

Hearing that Larry had already arrived, Roxanne reflexively glanced at Colby, who was standing across from her. Then, she murmured apologetically, "Please wait for a while, Larry. I've got something to wrap up on my end. You can come in and wait."
