At the company dinner, Lucas Bennett, the heiress from headquarters, accidentally spilled wine on Claire Ford's suit dress. While Claire went to the restroom to clean up, everyone started guessing if she'd get angry. "I bet three drinks, Ms. Ford is going to blow up. Last time, a young guy accidentally messed up her files, and he was fired the very next day!" someone said. "I don't think so. Didn't you hear? Lucas was Ms. Ford's first love," someone gossiped. The same person went on, "After graduation, Lucas went overseas, so they had to split up. But then Ms. Ford showed up at our company. Why do you think that is?" "Isn't it obvious? She's been waiting for Lucas to come back. I bet it won't be long before they rekindle their old flame." Someone nudged my elbow. "Adam, you went to college with them, right? Were you rooting for their legendary romance too? "Come on, spill it! Why did they break up?" As someone who'd been secretly married to Claire for a year, I quietly slipped the ring off my ring finger.
