I sat in the corner of a fast-food place, eating half-cold fries and a soggy burger. It wasn’t quiet or relaxing, but I just needed a place to sit after today’s mess. My legs were aching, and my phone was hanging on for dear life at 10%.
I put it in a power saving mode to keep the battery. Maybe I’ll find a charging station around the area too.
I was just about to take another bite when my phone buzzed. It was a new message from an unknown number.
Hi! This is Clarisse from Emerson Properties. Mr. Emerson told me you'd be visiting. Just confirming if you're still available to meet at 5 PM?
My heart jumped and I wiped my fingers fast and typed back:
Yes! I can be there. What’s the address?
She replied immediately. It wasn’t far and it’s just a 15-minute walk from where I was.
Perfec
