"You could have owned this shit but here you are staying as an employee like me. You are worse than me. You don't even get paid", she said with a sigh.

He backed off from buying the company but still, it would belong to him if we didn't pay his loan back. I haven't openly asked him. But I knew he would let it go since he cared about me and didn't want to hurt me anyway. I want to pay back his debt. That is only fair since he spends this many dollars. I won't fully feel comfortable in this relationship unless we pay every penny back.
