My Girlfriend Dumped Me After She Became A Company President

Quinn Lucas and I were in a relationship for five years, and life was exceptionally tough for us during these five years. We lived in a basement and survived on countless meals bought from roadside stalls. Despite all the hardships she endured while with me, she never complained. She said she would be happy as long as I was around. We were happy back then. Life felt like a fairytale.

I stayed by her side as she started as an entry-level employee and quickly became the president of the family company. She told me she would not have become the president without my silent support. Those words made me teary-eyed, as she recognized my efforts.

I did not even tell her that sheer hard work alone during these five years was not enough for her to secure the president position. She needed connections more than that. Every time she successfully landed an important contract, it was because I pulled some strings. However, I never told her this as I felt that telling her the truth would be disrespectful.

I thought I should remain an ordinary man from her perspective. She was used to it, and I was also used to it. Therefore, I silently protected her and took on all the housework. I even hand-washed her stockings, lingerie, and high heels one by one. I did everything to support her career and to be the unsung man behind her success.

She never even stepped into the kitchen. She wanted me to propose to her on the fifth anniversary of our relationship and said that she would marry me without hesitation. Her request filled me with motivation, and I had always kept it in mind.

Tomorrow will be our fifth anniversary. I had already prepared the engagement ring in advance. I had waited five years for this moment.

Quinn and I were about to get our happily ever after. The fact that a company president like her did not look down on me moved me. It was already late when Quinn got home. My heart was filled with excitement because this was the moment I would propose to her. The ring in my hand felt like it was burning—just like the passion I felt.

I said, "Why are you home so late? Let me warm up the food for you."

Quinn replied, "You don't need to do that. I'm exhausted from working overtime today. I'm going to rest. Kyle, bring me a basin of water. I want to wash my feet."

Every time Quinn washed her feet, I would test the water temperature for her. All she had to do was put her feet in the basin, and I would take care of the rest. I had become accustomed to taking care of her in the past five years.

After she was done washing her feet, her phone rang as I was about to take out the ring to propose. She hurried into the bathroom with her phone. "Mason, don't worry. Why would I marry him? Besides, I'm a company president now, and he's only an ordinary employee. He has diligently taken care of me for five years for free. Where else could I find a servant like that? Alright, alright. I'll stop talking. Otherwise, he'll get suspicious."

Quinn came out of the bathroom after ending the call. When she saw me standing by the door, she was taken aback. "Did you hear everything?"
