Single At My Engagement Party

On the day of our engagement, Ward vanished. He didn't answer my calls, and my texts went completely ignored.

My parents and I were frantic, terrified that he had been in a horrific car crash on his way to the venue. We were on the verge of calling the police when, after dozens of attempts, we finally reached his driver.

The man stammered on the other end of the line, sounding incredibly uncomfortable. "Mr. Ward is... he's currently with Ms. Lacey, helping her pitch a new client. The client is proving difficult, and Mr. Ward can't step away right now."
