AN: Oneshot I just thought of. Enjoy!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE MORTAL INSTRUMENTS!
It was Clary Fray's first day at her new job. She didn't want to mess up, as it was well paying and she reaaally needed the money. Not only that, but minutes after arriving she'd been warned by the girl in the cubicle next to her not to mess with the boss.
"I'm Isabelle, it's nice to meet you! Word of the wise, do NOT mess with Mr. Herondale! He might be the strictest man you've ever met. I feel so bad for his wife. We have to deal with him, but she has to live with him! He isn't mean per-say, but he'll freak out on you if you're slacking or not getting your work done." she had admitted.
"Wow, sounds like fun... That's weird, Herondale is my last name, and it's not very common." she questioned.
"Really? You're right, that is pretty strange."
"Well, my married name. I used to be Clary Fray."
"Married, huh? Who's the lucky guy?" she said with a smirk on her face.
"His name is-" Before Clary could finish, a shout rippled through the air.
"MS. LIGHTWOOD! I believe I told you to show our new employee around, not fraternize with her! Come see me at the end of the day, this is the third time this week!" The aforementioned boss joined the conversation.
"Um, sorry Mr. Herondale, I was just-" They were cut off once again, this man was starting to seem rather rude.
"Wait a second! Cla-" This time it was Clary's turn to cut him off.
"Jace?" She questioned confusedly.
"Clary? You told me you were working in the photography department of a company, but you never said it was here!"
"Wait, don't blame this on me! I knew what company you worked at, but you never gave me the specific address!" she retorted.
"Excuse me, how do you two know each other?" Isabelle interrupted, and she was obviously just as confused as the other two.
"Isabelle, meet my husband Jace. Jace, it seems you already know Isabelle, or 'Ms. Lightwood' as you called her." Clary at the expression on the other girl's face.
"Ms. Lightwood, meet my wife Clary, apparently your new coworker." he added.
"Okay, so I'm just gonna back away slowly while you two sort out this situation. Have a nice day, Clary!" she said quickly while shaking her head.
"One more thing, don't worry about seeing me at the end of the day, I can't very well punish you for talking to my wife!" he called after her.
"Thanks, Mr. Herondale! I'll be getting back to work now." she exclaimed before quickly retreating.
Clary turned to look at Jace, still chuckling from that encounter. She gave him a questioning look before speaking again.
"Awwwww, is Jacey upset that he'll have to work with his wife?" She couldn't help but laugh at the scowl she was met with.
"If you're teasing me all the time, maybe I will be upset. Buuuuuut, I guess I could afford to give you a kiss if you apologized."
"Oh sacred boss, I am so very sorry. Please forgive my behavior." she replied.
He leaned down before giving her a kiss, not a small peck on the cheek, but an actual kiss when Clary's conversation was interrupted by someone's boss for the second time that day.
"MR, HERONDALE! I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT IS AN APPROPRIATE WAY TO WELCOME YOUR NEW EMPLOYEE!" a voice yelled from about 20 feet away.
"Shoot, that's my boss. Oops, gotta go! See you at home!" He gave her one last peck on the cheek before high tailing it back to his office.
AN: So, what'd you guys think? I'd appreciate some feedback! :)
