Winn and Lena were sitting in bed next to each other reading in silence simply enjoying each other's company.
"How do you feel about a June wedding?" Lena said nonchalantly as she continued to scroll on her tablet.
Winn put down the book he was reading. "You do mean June of next year right? Because it's June now so it would kinda be too late. Unless you're planning on running away to Vegas to elope."
Lena put her tablet down and look at him. "Very funny. We're not eloping. I'm not saying we have to have a big wedding but I do want our friends to be there with us. And I like the idea of getting married in June. It's nice outside. The plants will be in bloom."
"I'm just kidding. We can do whatever you want. It's your big day. I'm just along for the ride. We can have a big outdoors wedding and invite a ton of people or a small one. Whatever you want babe. I just can't wait to see you walk down the aisle and finally be able to call you my wife."
Lena leaned forward and kissed him. "Thank you but it's not my day its ours. I want to hear you voice your opinions. Do you want a big wedding or a small one? Because that affects the venues we're going to be looking at this weekend. Also, do you want to get married in a church? Or are you okay with having the ceremony at the venue hosting our reception?"
Winn sat pensively for a second before he opened his mouth to respond. "Honestly I'm not religious at all so it doesn't bother me either way but I know you want to have an outdoor wedding so maybe we should just have the ceremony wherever we hold our reception. As for size, I just assumed we'd have a big one because you're important and have to invite who knows how many people. I only really keep up with 2,3 friends from college and I lost contact with my relatives after my dad went crazy and my mom abandoned me so there's no one I'd really care to invite."
"Okay. Well there are a few people my PR department at LCorp will tell me to invite but other than that it would just be our family and friends. So a small wedding it is. I'm glad we've figured that out and hopefully we'll find the perfect venue this weekend."
"I love you. I can't wait to marry you" Winn replied before he kissed her.
"These are all the papers you need to sign. Any questions?" Lena asked her new CFO as she stood right in front of her.
"If I have any concerns regarding future deals while you're on maternity leave will it be okay for me to call you to discuss things? I know you're putting me in charge but I still feel like this might be a little out of my depth. I don't want to let you down."
"That's fine. I know I'm asking a lot of you in the next few months but it's only because I truly believe you are best equipped for the job. I trust you to handle the day to day but if you really feel you need to talk to me don't hesitate to call or Skype. We are friends after all" Lena replied just as Winn walked into her office.
"Sorry, am I interrupting I can go."
Lena walked away from her desk. "Not at all. There is actually someone I want you to meet. Winn this is Samantha Arias, my new CFO."
Winn walked over to shake Samantha's hand. "Nice to meet you Samantha. I'm Lena's fiancé."
"Please, call me Sam and it's a pleasure to finally meet you."
Lena jumped back into the conversation, "Sam will also be taking over for me while I'm staying at home on maternity leave. So you don't have to worry about me working myself to death."
"I'm always going to worry about you but I'm glad you've found someone to help. Sam, I wish you all the best and don't let Lena run you into the ground either."
Samantha laughed, "I assure you I'll be fine. Anyways, I have to go pick up Ruby from school. It was nice to meet you Winn and congratulations to both of you. Having a child is a joy like no other." She hugged Lena and left.
Winn turned to Lena, "She has a kid?"
"A daughter. She's about nine I think. Sam and I worked together a few years ago when I was still living in Metropolis. We lost touch when I moved here, but I recently learned she moved here for a new job so we got back in touch a few weeks ago."
"And she agreed to come work for you just like that? What about her other job?"
"She was working as a junior VP at a smaller company and I simply made her a better offer. She won't start for another month though. Don't worry I didn't do anything underhanded to get her to work for me. It's all completely legal."
Winn wrapped his arms around her waist. "I know you wouldn't do anything illegal I just had to ask. You are kind of ruthless when it comes to business you know. It's kind of sexy."
Lena leaned up and kissed him. "Well I have to be as CEO. If I'm not, I'd get eaten alive by other competitors. It's already hard enough to get certain people to respect me just because I'm a woman."
"Anybody who doesn't respect you just because you're a woman is an idiot. Anyways, the reason I stopped by was to take you out to dinner. I know you and the little guy must be hungry and we haven't really gone out in awhile."
"Indeed. Let's go get some food." Lena grabbed his hand and led him out of her office.
