《The Personal Assistant.》Chapter 45
Advertisement
James told his driver to wait for him as he stepped out of the car, right out in front of Tiffany's. Straightening his jacket he walked into the store, letting the door close behind him.
He immediately turned to the first person that he saw.
"Good afternoon, Mr. McGregor, I presume." The elderly man standing behind the counter said to him.
"Good afternoon and yes," James replied.
"Alright sir, I know that you're looking for a ring, but what kind of ring?"
"I..." James started furrowing her brows. "I honestly don't know."
"Well, sir..." The man said turning around and walking over to a drawer. "Then I'll just show you some examples." He then put down a trey with all sorts of the different ring in front of James.
"Paul, could you copy this for me?" Elizabeth said placing a stack of paper upon Paul's desk looking frantic.
"Sure, are you, alright girl."
"I'm fine, just a little bit overworked that's all," Elizabeth said as she turned away again. "Now I just have one meeting left, have to bring those copies to Johanna and then I can finally go home."
"Good luck girl, I'll put them on your desk!"
"Thank you!"
Elizabeth walked over to the conference room and took a deep breath before opening the door. Truth be told, after that moment she didn't pay much attention to the meeting and mostly spent it staring out of the window.
It wasn't until Oscar tapped her arm that she even noticed that the meeting was over.
"God where are you with your head?" Oscar said smiling.
"O god, sorry I am really tired." She replied gathering her papers.
"I can imagine." Oscar said, walking out of the room.
Elizabeth chuckled at that following him out of the room and towards their office. Once she reached her desk she noticed the copied stack of paper left by Paul.

"Thank you Paul!" She yelled out loudly as she grabbed the stack and went over to Johanna.
It was only ten minutes later that Elizabeth reached her car and was on her way back home. Then twenty minutes later she reached her apartment.
She then parked her car in the garage right as her phone buzzed. As she got out of her car she grabbed her bag and fished her phone out of it. Quickly she checked her texts and saw that Jame had sent her one.
- Food is at my place :)
She chuckled as she sent a quick, 'I'm on my way!" Before putting her phone back in her bag and walking out of the garage.
Without going up to her own apartment she walked out of the building and over to James his building. She greeted her doorman and quickly went up the elevator.
James on the other hand was adding the final details to the dinner. He had put on her favorite suit and set the table. At that very moment her was igniting the candles on the table when heard the elevator doors to his apartment open.
"James?" He heard her yell from the other room.
"In here!" He yelled back, quickly putting away the lighter and straightening his suit.
"God I have had the longest day..." Elizabeth yelled, taking of her heels. "I'm so happy for it to finally be over." She continued walking into the room, taking the bun out of her hair.
The second she laid eyes on everything that in front of her she fell silent. She stared at the table for a moment, then turned to look at James.
"What is this?" She said slowly walking over to James.
James smirked at her before saying, "Well you didn't want to go out, so I brought the restaurant to you."
"My my I feel under-dressed." She said laughing gesturing at her blouse, pencil skirt and bare feet.

"Nah, for you there is no such thing." He said getting closer to her putting his hand on the small of her back. "Now, please take a seat milady."
At that Elizabeth laughed and sat down muttering a, "God, you're so cheesy."
The two of them proceeded to eat their dinner, talking about their days and laughing at each others stories. As dinner progressed however, James was getting nervous...
"Are you alright?" Elizabeth asked the normally calm James.
"Yeah I'm fine." He replied loosening his tie, "Just a little bit tired that's all."
"James your hand is shaking."
"I'm fine, trust me. I'll just go and get desert." With that James grabbed his and her plate of of the table and went over to the kitchen.
"Let me help you with that." Elizabeth said getting up as well and bringing more of the dishes to the kitchen.
"No!" James yelled a little bit to loudly, causing Elizabeth to flinch. "I mean no, I got this, sit down. You had a long day at work."
"Are you sure?" Elizabeth replied slightly confused.
"Yeah, just sit down, relax."
James quickly put the dishes down on the sink and walked over to the freezer. He took a deep breath before opening it and grabbing the two deserts out of it. Both of them were a plate with a chocolate orb on it. Only one of them however had something else inside of it as well...
He grabbed both of the plates out of the freezer and walked over to the table. "And now for desert, we have chocolate surprise." He put down the plate with the cherries on it in front of Elizabeth and the one with the raspberries he put down in front of himself.
This is it... He thought as he sat down.
"James, though this looks stunning. I'm quite full, mind if we save it for later?" Elizabeth said.
James felt his heart sink... He had always been a confident man, but right now he felt like a teenager with anxiety that had to do a presentation in front of the whole school.
Momentarily he fell quiet. What should I do? He thought to himself as he stared of in the distance. Should I wait for later ? Or-
"James are you alright?" He heard her say. "I'll just put this back into the freezer." She said getting up.
"Wait." He said snapping out of it. "You haven't seen the surprise yet." He stood up from this chair and walked over to her. "You don't have to eat it just yet... Just break the orb."
With a confused look on her face Elizabeth grabbed her fork. "I don't know what it is James, but you're acting strange tonight." She started as she tapped the orb with the fork. "I mean I thought I had a long day, but you seem really stressed out..." She gave the orb another tap when it broke.
The second it broke something caught her eye. Something shiny...
She gasped the second she realized what it was....
James watched her intently as he gently grabbed the ring from the plate, and went down on one knee.
"Will you, Elizabeth Waverton, marry me?"
Elizabeth her mind was buzzing and quite frankly all over the place. Her thoughts ranged from, so that's why he was acting strange, to o my god I just got proposed to.
James watched nervously as she stared at the ring in front of her. Why wasn't she saying anything? Why were her eyes so big?
Elizabeth looked up from the ring for one moment when she noticed the look on James his face. "O god, I haven't said anything yet!" She said as it hit her.
"I am so sorry! Of course I'll marry you!" She said as she hugged him tightly.
James didn't waist any time as he hugged her back. He then released her and put the ring on her finger, and kissed her like there was no tomorrow.
