Eight Years Wasted,The Billionaire's Secret Girlfriend

I chased Alfred Henson for eight years.

Everyone said I was his little shadow, trailing behind him wherever he went.

But on his twenty-seventh birthday, I stopped following. If anything, I found myself instinctively avoiding him.

He noticed.

That day, he stepped in front of me with a cold expression, blocking my path. Then, for the first time in all the years I'd known him, he actually offered an explanation.

"I didn't stand you up on purpose. Maud was sick. She's all alone in this city with no one to turn to. I had to take care of her."
