Boyfriend Seated His Childhood Friend, So I Cancelled Registration

Four years together, and Zachery never once let me make our relationship public at his company. The reason was always the same: too many people, too many wagging tongues. Once we picked up the marriage license tomorrow, then he'd bring me around to meet his coworkers. So for four years, I was the woman who stood downstairs outside his building and was never allowed to come up. On a night of pouring rain, when I brought him a contract, I left the file at the front desk and walked away. Less than a minute after I posted our engagement photos, he called and told me to delete them first.
