My Girlfriend, His Wife

Summary

In the seventh year of our long-distance relationship, I secretly quit my job to surprise my girlfriend and propose to her.

When I arrived at her company, the receptionist heard me ask for Summer and said:

"Our CEO is still in a meeting. Please wait a moment."

I was quietly surprised—Summer had never mentioned getting promoted.

Then I heard the receptionist whispering with her colleague.

"He must be Miss Summer's lover!"

"If Mr. Gilbert finds out Miss Summer's cheating on him, all hell will break loose!"

I was about to ask if they'd misunderstood.
