I led the team for eight years, finally developing a groundbreaking drug for stomach cancer.
On the day of the celebration banquet, I had planned to reveal my secret marriage to CEO husband James.
Instead, he showed up all smiles with his first love on his arm, both dressed to the nines.
"Let me introduce everyone. This is Emily, a newly returned medical doctor who will be serving as the director of our pharmaceutical research institute. Please give her a warm welcome."

James smiled gently at her words: "Thank you for coming."
Their hands remained clasped, as the crowd laughed and cheered them on.
Watching the sweet couple, I walked straight onto the stage and threw the research director's ID badge at Emily.
"Congratulations, Dr. Kerpan, on becoming the new director. Since you're so happy, why don't you two get married to celebrate?"

James shouted his questions in a frenzy, as if I were the unfaithful one who had cheated.


At this point, wedding guests recognized him and began to whisper among themselves.
