My Fiancée Always Chooses Her Intern
Ella · Ongoing · 9 Chapters
About this book
We had been in a relationship for five years, yet the CEO fiancée canceled getting the marriage certificate with me fifty - two times. The first time, a male intern in the company offended a client, and she left me in a hurry to back him up. The second time, just before getting the marriage certificate, she learned that the male intern had a cold and a fever, and she left immediately to take care of him, leaving me and the staff looking at each other in dismay. After that, no matter what the occasion or time was. As long as I was with her, the male intern always had various reasons to call her away. Finally, I was completely disheartened and decided to give up this self - deceiving relationship. However, I never expected that after I left, my fiancée would go crazy looking for my whereabouts.
Chapter 1
The sky was still dark at five in the morning.
I stood before the mirror, carefully adjusting my tie and smoothing my suit.
Every strand of hair stayed perfectly in place with hairspray.
The velvet ring box grew warm in my palm.
The bouquet of red roses was vibrant, their petals still glistening with morning dew.
Olivia arrived downstairs right on time.
She wore a white blouse today, complementing my formal attire perfectly.
The car moved steadily toward City Hall.
I watched the city slowly waking up outside the window, my lips curling into an involuntary smile.
At the second intersection, the traffic light turned red.
Her phone buzzed at that exact moment.
The name "Ethan Roscente" on the screen burned my eyes.
Him again.
That persistent intern.
Olivia's tone instantly turned tense when she answered the call.
"Don't cry. Explain slowly."
"I'm on my way."
Without even glancing at me, she turned the steering wheel and changed direction.
"Where are you going?"
My voice turned cold as I stared at the navigation screen showing our detour.
"City Hall is the other way."
"Ethan lost the client's contract. They're threatening to cancel the deal."
Her fingers tightened around the wheel, turning white at the knuckles.
"I have to go help him."
I looked at her profile and suddenly laughed.
"Fifty-two times."
"Every single time, it's him. Every single time, there's an excuse."
Last time, he claimed the client was being difficult, and Olivia abandoned me for the office.
The time before that, he was hospitalized with a fever, and she spent the entire day by his side.
Before that, there were countless other emergencies.
"He's just an intern!"
The words nearly hissed through my clenched teeth.
"Doesn't your company have anyone else who can help him?"
Olivia slammed on the brakes.
The car jerked to a stop by the roadside as she turned to glare at me.
"Liam, can you stop being so childish?"
"He just graduated. As his supervisor, it's my responsibility to help him when he's struggling."
Sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating her face.
I suddenly noticed she was wearing the lipstick I'd given her.
What should have been a sweet memory now felt like mockery.
"Today was supposed to be our wedding day."
I said it softly, as if reminding myself.
"Do you remember?"
For five years, I worked relentlessly, climbing the corporate ladder.
I bought the house we'd dreamed of.
I mapped out every detail of our future.
Yet I could never get her through those City Hall doors.
"If you go to him now,"
My voice trembled.
"Then let's never mention marriage again."
I thought she might hesitate.
