Seven Years of Love Season 1 Chapter 1
By chance,l discovered that Ken Dizon had hidden a wedding ring at home.1 thought after sever years of secretly dating,he was finally going to propose to me.
Yet,even though I had been waiting for a long time,only to find that he brought the ring box to the company party
I watched with my own eyes as he got down on one knee and proposed to the intern,Haze Easton,in front of everyone at work.
Hazel slipped on the ring,kissed Ken passionately and excitedly said “I do!”
Overwhelmed with joy,she ran over to celebrate with everyone with a glass of wine in he hand.However,she tripped and the wine splashed everywhere,
Instinctively, I shielded the bag in my hands. In doing so,l accidentally stepped into a gap and knocked over a table full of red wine bottles,
Ken’s face changed in an instant. He scolded me harshly,“Assistant White,why are you always s clumsy?You ruined a whole table full of wine!”
It escaped his mind how much I cherish this bag,simply because this was the first gift he gave me when we first fell in love,
After he finished lashing out at me,he wrapped his arm around Hazel to comfort her.I rushed into the restroom and dialed home.
“Mom,I’ve changed my mind. I’ll agree to the arranged marriage you mentioned,”
There was a stunned pause on the other end of the call,then came the excitement,“Well….I thought I’d never see the day!Sweetheart,I’ll start making arrangements right away!”
I chuckled with a hint of self–mockery,
My mother always thought I had never been in a relationship before,but that actually was not
true.
Ken and I had been together for seven years. He never wanted to announce our relationship publicly.He claimed the company had a strict no–dating policy, for internal staff.
I had never told my mother about this because I did not want her to be worried or upset.
However,since he was about to marry another,there was no need to say anything.
“When are you coming home?I’ll arrange the meeting,”Mom asked.
“Soon,“I replied softly.
Thung up and opened the restroom door,only to see Ken standing at the door.
He looked gentle,even remorseful,as he reached for my hand.
“Baby,did you hurt yourself just now?Everyone from the company had come,so I had to act cold. About the proposal…I’ll explain everything once we’re home,okay?”
Explain?How could he possibly explain this? He had already proposed and put the ring on someone else’s finger?Was there anything to explain?
I raised my head to look at him detachedly,“I understand.”

“…Honey,“he said with a cajoling tone,but his brows furrowed a little.
However,before he managed to say anything else,a colleague walked out of the party room.Instantly,his expression changed. He dropped my hand and slipped back into his usual cold,distant demeanor.
Then he said, “Emily White,remember your place. You’re my assistant, the company’s general assistant.Don’t embarrass me.”
My heart turned extremely cold.I lowered my eyes and replied quietly,”I understand.”
Ken turned around and walked into the restroom,without sparing a single glance at me.
My colleague went toward me and consoled me quietly,“Assistant White,don’t take it to heart.It might be that the boss was in distress because you interrupted his perfect,joyous occasion.”
My smile stiffened.
