After 7 years of having no contact to him, Vaughnn, now your "ex-boyfriend", all of a sudden, showed up, hiring you as his secretary to their family company that he now handles.
Earlier this day, the two of you had just the confrontation of your life, him explaining to you the reason he was gone the whole time. Apparently, it was his parents who forced him to be away from you. He thoroughly explained all the situations and reasons he had to face just to get you to face him once again after all those years. He was not begging for your forgiveness. He was clear that all that he wanted from that situation was to clear up the misunderstanding about your loving past relationship.
Now, in a masked ball later that night, sponsored by Vaughnn's company, you sat alone in a table as you drank your thoughts away. In a sudden, you were shocked when one approached, "Mind if I join?". The masked man asked, standing at the edge of your table. You can't recognize who the man clearly was, but just his voice ... it felt so familiar to you.
