A/N: Hey guys! Two times in a day. So this chapter is the repetition of the previous chapter in Jace's POV.

So here we are, a peek into Jace's mind and feelings.

Chapter 2 (part2):

(Jace POV)

Clarissa Fray. Holy shit, I'm gonna be working with Clarissa Fray! I am Squeaking and squealing like an excited 14 year old fan girl as I walk up the stairs of Shadow INC to their meeting room. I take a seat beside Mr. Herondale who used to the CTO until I came in. Everyone in this world has heard of Clarissa Fray. She is the 24 year old CTO of Shadow INC. I still remember 2 years back when the media had gone crazy with Mr. Starkweather for appointing a 22 year old inexperienced girl, fresh from college, as the CTO of his company. It was a huge risk but damn that girl did wonders for the company. Nobody has ever seen her and she refuses to be seen in public, but everybody has heard of her. Some say she's beautiful, others say she looks like a child. She was heavily criticised as a product of nepotism, but obviously enough it wasn't so. Now I will be working alongside her. Like for real (!) I am so excited. I can't wait to see her. As more and more men filled into the room, I couldn't spot any 24 year old girl, and it just added to my nervousness. What if she didn't like me? What if she thought I was an incompetent fool? What if I disappoint her? What if...

Just then I saw an angel enter the room. Was it just me or did the entire room illuminate the minute she walked in. Black office skirt and baby blue crop top, Damn I thought That chic's got some fine curves. My gaze followed those pale legs to red hair. Familiar red hair I thought. WHAT THE FUCK? CLARY? CLARY FROM THE BAR WHO SLAPPED ME AND RAN AWAY? My jaw hit the floor and my eyes bugged out. She's beautiful. I thought. What?! I shook my head to clear my thoughts. She stopped mid way and I saw recognition in her face. So she remembers me. Those same pair of emerald green eyes that complimented her hair perfectly and captivated my interest a few months back. That same shade of red I tried to search for everywhere. The same girl who rejected me, my first rejection. I never stopped going to Pandemonium, every Friday at 11PM to find a girl with headphones and sketchpads. She looks better with her hair down I thought. I could not believe that the Clary I touched is actually Clarissa Fray (!) My idol. She had frozen in her step, her big bright green eyes were wide and stuck on me, her pink lips forming an 'o'. I smirked at her, regaining my cockiness. This is gonna be fun. I thought. I smirk at her clumsiness and dazedness. She takes the seat right opposite to me. I wasn't paying much attention to the meeting and their boring agreements. I just wished to get this over with so I can finally talk to Clary and start working with her. I stared at her throughout the entire meeting. She either kept her eyes trained on the files on the table or her gaze flicked between her bosses. She looks at everything except me. I internally smirk at her nervousness. I make a mental note to myself to find out more about her. There's more to this girl than what meets the eye, I'm sure. I also notice the guy next to her, Matt was his name? I don't know. He kept flashing worried glances at Clary along with a hint of emotion in his eyes. Affection? Clary smiled weakly at him and I saw him hold her hand underneath the table to give her a light squeeze. Something rose in my chest. It was not a pleasant feeling. He immediately left her hand and I thanked god for that or else I'm sure I would have got up to rip his hand off of his body. WHAT?! I yell at myself. Jealousy is so not my thing. I felt weird and uncomfortable. Just then I heard my boss say "So, Clarissa, are you excited to work with our employees under you?" "Yes, of course. I can't wait to have more people I can boss around." She says with a grin. I kept my eyes trained on her. The room laughed at her joke which I thought had some hidden meaning. "So we have decided to not only have our employees to work under you but also have our newly appointed CTO to work alongside you." Her lips curved into a smile. "That is great Mr. Penhallow. I am sure Mr. Herondale and I will make a great team." What? I then realised she has no idea who I am. I laugh internally and my smirk grew wider. I could tell she was annoyed by my constant smirking at her. Oh this is going to be really really fun. My eyes glinting with mischief. "Uh no, Ms. Fray, not Mr. Herondale, we have a new CTO, Mr. Wayland right here." Mr. Penhallow says pointing at me. "WHAT!" she shouts. I can tell she is not pleased by this. Her already big eyes were now on the verge of falling out of her sockets. "Is there a problem Clary?" Mr. Garroway says with a concerned look. I take this opportunity to finally speak up and rile her up some more.

"Ah, Ms. Fray I am sure it will be absolutely delightful to work with a woman of your beauty, intelligence and feistiness as yourself" I say slyly winking at her. She smiled. The kind of smile that made my heart skip a beat "Of course Mr. Wayland, I can't wait to work alongside you. I am sure you must have heard of my diligent fingers work magic in the office computers." Shit. I don't know why but that sounded so sexual, I am honestly getting nervous. The guy Matt clears his throat loudly. "So, I guess, this meeting is over. We will leave you two to get acquainted. You both will start working together starting tomorrow with a whole bunch of new employees." Mr. Starkweather says eyeing both of us suspiciously. I nod and smile my innocent smile at him. Just as the room cleared leaving Clary and I alone in the room, I heard a very familiar high pitched squeal. "OhMyGod! Jace Wayland?! Jace, my high school f*ckboi Jace who broke my hairdryer in junior year?!" Izzy?! As in Isabelle lightwood? Two surprises in a day, this is going to be a great day. I hug her back tightly smelling her familiar scent. Oh how I missed this little girl. I smile a genuine grin at her. "Ah, how well you remember me Isabelle Lightwood. I also punched Meliorn when he broke up with you in the school cafeteria and helped to pass you in Calculus." I say faking disappointment unable to contain my grin. "Yes but my hairdryer was important and I had to go to school with frizzy hair that day." Izzy says with a similar grin etched across her features. Haven't changed one bit, this girl. I'm going to have to talk to Alec about why he did not tell me about his sister working in Shadow INC. I hear Clary clear her throat loudly. "So, introductions Izzy?" she says crossing her arms.

"Yeah. Jace, this is my best friend and boss Clarissa Fray, and this Clary is Alec's best friend since pre school who basically grew up with me, Jace Wayland." Izzy says.

She turned back to me to ask me what I was doing here to which I replied that I was her new boss. Izzy gasps and squeals in excitement "I can't wait for you guys to work together! Oh, this is going to be so much fun. Clary here is amazing. She's the best boss anyone could ask for and every employee in our office loves her. You'll see how cool she really is Jace."

"Yeah, I am sure." I say smirking and making a fake move of inspecting her from head to toe.

Clary rolled her eyes which I thought is something she does very often and told Izzy to take me on a tour of the office and familiarize me with the system and its workings. As she passed by me towards the exit, I involuntarily grab her wrist and lean in close to her ear. She smells like apple and fresh air (if that has any smell). Her scent is addicting, she is addicting. "Oh, but I was hoping for you to show me around the place" I say stepping in front of her and sliding my hands down her smooth, milky arms "and your place tonight." I whisper in my most seductive voice. I notice her shiver. I stepped back feeling smug at the reaction I got out of her. So I did affect her after all, I thought "Damn that outfit though Fray." I say eyeing her. She rushed past me and out the door in lightening speed. I chuckle to myself. "Umm, What was that?" Izzy says raising an eyebrow at me. I shrug at her and walk out the room beckoning her to show me around the office.

I wasn't paying her much attention as she showed me around, pointing to different rooms and different people and explaining her work. My thoughts were stuck on a certain green- eyed red head. I decide to ask Izzy about her. "So... hey Iz?"

"Yeah Jace, any questions?"

"Tell me more about my new co worker Clary Fray" I say casually hoping she wouldn't question me on my interest in her. Izzy can be really difficult sometimes.

"Oooh Clary. She's amazing, she has a different way of working. All the employees love her. She's chill and her bosses favour her a lot. So basically she rules this company. Also, Clary is a workaholic. Sometimes she will stress herself to a point where she doesn't even remember who she is and where she is. When she finds work to be done, she will stay up all night in her office room working and when next day I enter her office I will find her working intently without a blink of an eye. She barely realises how time passes and she is not very social either. Socialising, parties, clubs, loud music, nuh-uh totally not her thing. She suffers from caffeine addiction and insomnia. Very stubborn, quick temper. She will NEVER listen to anything you say and she will do exactly the opposite of what you tell her to do." Izzy is walking me towards what I suppose will be my office. I quickly say "Wait, I get my own room?" Izzy nods at me "Clary hates to share her room, she's very possessive about it. So unless you want to get kicked out and face her wrath, you get your own room." An evil idea pops up in my head, I grin. Izzy looks at me suspiciously. "I think I'm willing to take that risk" I say. I quickly tell the guys moving my stuff to take it to Clary's office and I tell Izzy to connect me to Mr. Starkweather. I persuade him to let me share Clary's office room for healthy work environment and blah blah. I turn to Izzy and thank her for her help and leave by promising that I'd hang out with her soon to play catch-up. Just before I turn towards Clary's room. I hear Izzy say "And oh Jace? Clary is very single." She says winking at me. My grin grew wider. Oh this just got better.
