We're at a department dinner when Logan Gilroy tags me in the work group chat. We've been secretly dating for five years. "Everyone else already paid their share without me having to ask. Do I really have to chase you down for yours?" My best friend, Grace Hopkins, immediately posts a screenshot showing she's already paid. "Ashley, are you having money trouble or something? If you really can't afford your share, I can cover it for you." Within seconds, my coworkers start piling on. "I've never seen anyone so shameless. Mr. Gilroy actually had to call you out in the group chat just to get you to pay your share!" "If you can't afford to eat out, then don't come. She probably only showed up because she wanted an excuse to get close to Mr. Gilroy." "At least Grace knows what's appropriate. No wonder Mr. Gilroy always looks out for her." The boyfriend I've kept secret for five years is humiliating me in front of the entire department, and my best friend is right there backing him up. A new post pops up on my feed. Grace has posted a screenshot showing that Logan returned her payment. Her caption reads, "Dinner with him means I never have to split the bill." Logan likes the post almost immediately and comments, "You showed up, so there's no way I'm letting you pay." I swallow hard, my finger hovering over the screen for a long moment. Then Logan tags me in the work group chat again. "We're not close enough for me to be treating you to dinner, are we, Ms. Leith?" After a long moment, I open the shopping app and cancel the anniversary gift I ordered for him. Then I transfer him my share and post a screenshot in the group chat. Apparently, we're not that close after all. Our fifth anniversary hardly seems worth celebrating now.

I shook my head.Logan still wouldn't let it go. "If you come back, I'll give you as many projects as you want."I slowly slipped my fingers out of his grasp, one by one. "You really think this is about one project? Logan, I'm not that petty."Logan looked up at me, his eyes full of hurt. "Then tell me why."I searched his face for the man I used to know, but the longer I looked, the more he seemed like a stranger."It was the separate work group chat you knew they'd left me out of, even after you realized they were setting me up and still took their side. It was every time you deliberately kept your distance from me in front of everyone so no one would suspect we were together."It was knowing I couldn't eat spicy food and still ordering a whole table of it because of a bet with Grace. And it was smashing a bowl just because I'd touched it, then turning around and giving Grace something I'd designed especially for you."I closed my eyes as all those memories came rushing back.

Grace's eyes immediately filled with tears. "I was just messing with you. You're the one who... kissed me."Her voice trailed off, and her face flushed.Suddenly, party poppers started going off all around them. People from the office started popping out one by one, teasing Logan."Mr. Gilroy, you're seriously still trying to hide it from us?""Come on, you're already buying a place for the two of you! Everyone at the company knows Grace is going to be Mrs. Gilroy.""If you keep insisting there's nothing between you two, you're going to hurt your fiancée's feelings."They kept shooting him knowing looks.Logan frowned deeply. "Who told you Grace was my fiancée?"Everyone glanced at one another, suddenly unsure what to say.Grace looked embarrassed. She clearly hadn't expected Logan to deny it so directly in front of everyone."I told you guys I wasn't Mr. Gilroy's girlfriend. You're the ones who kept assuming we were together."Just then, I walked into the sales office.Log

The guy ground the dried flower beneath his shoe, crushing the brittle petals under his heel.The second Logan realized what it was, he froze. His eyes went red as he dropped to his knees, his hands shaking as he tried to piece the flower back together.He'd given it to me after the company made its first real profit. At the time, I'd been so worried about wasting money that I'd only let him buy me one flower.He knew I'd changed the water every day while it was fresh. What he didn't know was that I'd dried it afterward and kept it all these years.Everyone thought Logan was just upset over a flower."Mr. Gilroy, if you like flowers that much, we'll all chip in and get you a nicer bouquet!""Someone like Ashley doesn't deserve you anyway."They kept going, not realizing that every word was making Logan angrier."Enough! She's already gone. Are you ever going to stop treating her like this?"Whenever I told Logan I was having trouble with the others at work, he brushed me off a

Logan finally lost his composure. "I only gave the project to Grace because Ashley's been working too hard lately. Why would she sell all her shares over something like that?"The man across from him gave a mocking smile. "I watched the two of you build this company from nothing. You know how much Ashley cares about her work."But you took something she worked her ass off for and handed it to someone else like it was nothing. After that, why should she keep waiting for you?"Logan clenched his fists, his nails digging into his palms. The sting helped him keep it together.He had never meant to undermine me or disregard everything I had done.In his mind, we were going to get married eventually no matter what. It was just one project. Whose name was on it didn't really matter, and whatever money it made would end up with me anyway.He'd only done it so that when everyone at the company eventually found out about us, no one could say I'd gotten special treatment because I was with
