The Abandoned Wife

Roxanne was getting too drained to move. However, she didn't want to wait at her spot because her current location was still quite far away from the parking lot, and waiting for Lucian's was equally tiring. Hence, she continued to advance slowly with the bags in her hands.

However, it had been a long while since she was in Jadeborough, and there had been many significant changes in the city, especially in the commercial district. The many intersections were also challenging to identify.

After she passed through an intersection, she couldn't recall where the parking lot was.

She hesitated briefly before sitting on a bench at the side of the road and putting the bags down. It's hard to say if I'll find the parking lot if I keep going. Even worse, Lucian may not be able to locate me... After a while, she received a call from Lucian.

Promptly, Roxanne picked up the phone.

"Where are you?" He sounded tense.

She guiltily surveyed her surrounding and answered, "In front of a Starbucks."

Then, fearing he couldn't find her, she added, "I only passed by an intersection. It should be easy for you to find me."
