Girlfriend for 8 Years, Choose to Marry Someone ElseChapter 1

I gave up my family business to be Avery's agent for eight years, and for those eight years, I was also her secret lover.

Every year for eight years, I proposed to Avery, only to be decisively rejected each time. But on the day of the Stellar Frame Awards ceremony, Avery publicly announced her engagement to another man.

"Thanks to Bryan's care over the years, I've achieved the success I have today. I've decided to marry him in three days," she said.

After saying that, Avery shot me a warning glance from the corner of her eye.

I fell silent, deep in thought for a moment, then dialed my mother's number. "Mom, I’m done playing around. I’ll take your advice and go back to run the family business."

On the other end of the line, my mother sounded as happy as a child. "What about the girl our family arranged for you?"

I glanced at Avery and Bryan, who were kissing on stage, and said, “Sure, three days from now is a good day. Let’s set it for then.”
