It was around 8 o'clock in the morning when Caroline Forbes, a fashion designer, was waiting on her coffee that she had ordered. She was on her way to her office to get lay out the design for her fall line.

Joe, the cashier brought her the coffee that she ordered. "Here you go Ms. Caroline."

"Thank you, Joe." Caroline replied with a smile. She grabbed the coffee and walked out of the coffee shop into the cold of the fall weather.

She hailed a cab in the New York streets and was headed to her office. As she got settled in the back of the cab, her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID.

"Good morning Elena." she answered

"Good morning, Caroline." Elena said happily. "I'm calling with some good news."

"Oh, yeah, and what is that?" Caroline asked intrigued.

"Damon, he proposed last night, and I said yes." Elena said with a giggle.

"Elena, that's great news." Caroline said. "You know that I'm designing your dress, right?"

Elena laughed. "I wouldn't have it any other way."

"I will start on it today as a matter of fact. Just text me about the kind of style that you want." Caroline said just as the cab pulled up to her office. "You know what, I will just draw a few styles and give you a few options. And we can do lunch, and I will show them to you so you can choose or tell me your ideas."

"Yeah, we will set that up." Elena agreed.

"Yeah. I have to go. Just got to the office." Caroline said. "Have a good day, Lena. And congratulations."

"You too, Care. Thank you." Elena replied and hung up.

Caroline paid the driver and got out of the cab and going into her office. She was too excited and wanted to get started on those sketches. Elena was going to have the best wedding dress. That she would make sure of.

Niklaus Mikaelson, a CEO of Mikaelson's Law, a very prestigious law firm, was standing in his office looking out the large window lost in his thoughts. It was like it was an everyday routine. He would go into his office, and one of his siblings would come in to speak to him. He would look out his window and ignore them.

"Nik, are you even listening to me?" Rebekah, his sister asked him annoyed.

"Well, I wasn't. What did you say?" he asked his sister.

"Stefan told me that Damon is getting married and I'm going to the wedding with him. He invited you, Elijah, and Kol as well." Rebekah said happily.

"Well, that's good news for him." Klaus said agitated. "Now if you will excuse me, I have work to do and clients to see."

"Don't dismiss me like that, Nik." Rebekah snapped. "Who are you taking to the wedding."

"I don't know, but really Bekah, you are my favorite, and you know that. But I really do have meetings."Klaus said turning from the window to sit down at his desk.

"Okay, I can take a hint." she said disappointed not to be able to meddle in her brother's love life. She turned around to grab her purse before looking at her brother. "I love you."

Klaus looked up at his sister and smile. Getting up and walking towards her, he hugged her tight. "I love you too sister."

Once he pulled back, she left his office leaving him to work. When she left, he sat back down at his desk and logged into his computer to get started.

As he was getting set up for the day, his secretary, Hayley came in. "Hey, Mr. Mikaelson." she said seductively.

He refrained from rolling his eyes at her obvious attempt to seduce him. "What can I do for you, Hayley?"he asked irritated

"Well, I have some documents for you to sign. " She said placing the on his desk, bending over to give him a view of her cleavage.

"Just sit them on the desk. Thank you." He said dismissing her. He turned back to his computer to read his emails.

She huffed and turned to leave his office.

A few hours later. across town, Caroline was running into her favorite restaurant, arms full of sketches for wedding dresses, so that she could meet Elena, Bonnie, and Katherine for lunch. As she got to the door she stopped running. Once inside, she walked fast towards the host when she bumped into something hard causing all of her sketches to fall on the ground.

She bent down to pick them up, not noticing that someone had squatted down to help her pick them up as well.

"I'm so sorry." She heard an accented voice say. The voice made her stop what she was doing to look up. When she looked up, she saw the most gorgeous blue eyes. "I wasn't paying attention. I should have been watching where I was going."

Caroline was in a daze. She couldn't believe how handsome this man was. And let's not forget his accent. She couldn't find her voice. It was as if she was in a trance until he spoke again.

"Are you okay. Is anything ruined." he asked concerned.

Snapping back to reality, she answered, "No. I mean, yes, I'm okay and no, nothing is ruined."

He picked up a few of the sketches and looked at them. "These are really good." he complimented her handing her the sketches.

"Well, thank you." she said with a smile.

Standing up, he introduced himself. "I'm Niklaus Mikaelson, by the way. Everyone calls me Klaus." He said reaching out his hand to help her up.

Accepting his help, she answered, "Caroline Forbes."

He smiled. "Beautiful name for a beautiful woman." he said with a smile.

My God, that is the most gorgeous smile. Caroline thought to herself. "Thank you." she replied. "I have to get to my friends, they are waiting on me. I'm running a little late. Got caught up in doing these sketches for my best friend's wedding dress."

"So, you're an artist?" he asked intrigued.

"No, fashion designer." Caroline corrected. "I'm designing her wedding dress and these are some ideas for her."

"Well, you have a gift." he said.

"What do you do?" she asked him curious to know.

"I'm a lawyer." Klaus said.

"Oh, really. That sounds interesting. My boyfriend wanted to be a lawyer." Caroline said excitedly. "What kind of law do you practice?"

"Who the hell is this?" Caroline heard a familiar voice that made crawl say behind her.

Turning around, Caroline saw a very angry Tyler looking at her seething. "Oh, honey, this is Niklaus Mikaelson. He's a lawyer." she replied trying not to freak out.

"Oh, and why would you need a lawyer?" he asked.

"You got the wrong idea, mate. I bumped into her accidentally and i saw her sketches. I asked her about her work and in turn she asked about mine." Klaus said studying the new comer.

"Really, baby, I was just getting ready to come over to the table." Caroline said grabbing Tyler's arm and pulling him away. "It was nice to meet you, Klaus."

"Likewise, sweetheart." he replied with his accent and a dimpled smirk.

Walking to over to her friends, she heard Tyler said, "You're going to get it when we get home."

She knew what he meant. And she was hoping that it's not as bad as the last time. When they got to their friends, she gave Elena and Bonnie a hug and sat down to show them the sketches. As they were looking, she looked up and saw Klaus staring right back at her. She smiled and directed her attention back to her friends.
