Clary's POV :
***1 week before the wedding***
It's been about a month since the engagement night and ever since that night things between me and Leon have been better, we have gotten closer , spent more time together, he even started coming home early to spend time with me even if he had to work from home, like this one time he was working very late and was very angry and I woke up , talked with him and ended up helping him work .
^^^Flashback^^^
I woke up to the sound of something breaking downstairs and it was followed with the sound of someone cursing. I looked at the time and it was really late so it can't be Leon as he is usually sleeping by that time . I decided to go check it out . I got up and started going down the stairs , as i came down the stairs I heard someone talking . I am so scared right now , what if it was a thief or a murderer ? oh god I have to wake Leon up , but surely he is tired.
I decided to go down myself and see what is happening so I grab the nearest thing to me as I go down the stairs . But as soon as I come closer to him , he turns out and turns out to be Leon .
" God ! You scared me Leon !" I said as I put down the vase that I picked up " I thought you were a thief or murderer or something "
He looked at me confused then at the vase then started laughing " So if I was a murderer you were going to kill me with that vase ?" he asked while he's laughing
"Stop , I didn't know what else to do " I said as I started laughing as well.
"What are you doing up this late ?" I asked him after we stopped laughing
He sighed and said "I have this important project that is due tomorrow and if we don't win the project the company will be in a bad position "
I nod and tell him " How about I go get you something to drink and calm down and then after that I can help you with this project?"
He looks at me confused and say "How will you help me ? What do you even know about these things ?"
I laugh at his question and say "I think you'll be surprised by how much I know about these things .Because I was growing up my father taught me everything about our company and this fields of work because he wanted to prepare me to take over the company since I'm the only heir to his company but as I grew up I didn't like this field of work and preferred to work in designing fashion so I decided to work in my mother's company but that doesn't mean I'm not experienced or professional . You know I was taught by the best ."
" Ok . Let's see then ."
I pour us some wine and we start working we stayed up all night working on this project and once he was satisfied with the result we called it a night .
^^^^^^ End of flashback^^^^^
Today is the day that the result for that project will be decided , so today they will decide whether our company will take the project or another company will take it . i'm waiting impatiently for his meeting to end . I even call his secretary every few minutes to ask her if he had finished his meeting but until now he didn't finish even though he told me that it would end at 12 and now it's 1 o'clock so i'm waiting for him to call me .
After a few minutes
I received a call from Leon.
" Tell me how did it go ?" i asked as soon as I picked up the phone call
He laughed and said " It went really well Clary . We took the project "
"Told you learned from the best " i said
"Well I definitely got the best . I can't tell you how grateful I am to you for helping me " he said and i blush at his words
" I didn't do anything , that was all you all I did was help a little "
" I wouldn't have done it without you , thank you Clary " he said
" No need to thank me . Congratulations Leon"
" Anyway I'll see you at home so we can celebrate together "
"Ok bye see you "
"Bye "
How about i surprise him now ?
