Chapter 1
Betty sat at her desk drawing circles on her notebook. It had been two days since the incident with Daniel. He didn't speak to her. Every time she went in his office to tell him something he wouldn't make eye contact with her and replied in short one-word responses. If he had to say anything more he would make it as brief as possible. Now they can barely look at each other let alone talk to one another. She slumped on her chair. She wished none of it ever happened. Was he mad at her? Why would he be mad, though? Betty sighed. She didn't know what to do. She wanted everything to be normal.
"Helloooo?" a hand waved in front of Betty's face, "Betty" Marc said pinching Betty. "Oww! Marc! What was that for?" Betty shrieked rubbing her arm. "What's wrong with you?" Marc said spinning in his chair.
"Nothing." Betty sighed.
"Come on, Betty. You've been like this for two days. Why are you so…uh…not peppy?" he rolled his chair away and back.
Betty started to speak, but then changed her thought "Marc, what would you do to cheer someone up if they weren't talking to you?"
"What is this about? Who isn't talking to you, Betty?"
"Marc, it's not about me."
"Uh-huh. Ok-ay, well, if it was me I would do something that the person liked. Why don't you give Daniel a Danish or something?"
"What? Marc! How did you…uh…it's not Daniel, it's about Christina" Betty quickly said.
Marc looked at her skeptically. "As much as that Scottish chippie bugs me, you two are chums, and she's in London now, so it can't be her."
Betty looked off. How was Marc so receptive? She sighed. "I thought you and Daniel worked things out? Why isn't he talking to you?" Marc asked fiddling with the pencil on Betty's desk.
Betty sighed. What was the point of trying to deny it? Marc already seemed to know everything. "I don't know, Marc. I thought we were fine. But he's not speaking to me. I just want everything to be normal again. It's even harder for things to be normal between us since Daniel and I don't really work together like before."
"I don't know what to tell you, Betty. I'm sure things will blow over soon."
Betty looked at her notebook. Now mentally awake, she saw her article pitch covered in circles. Betty sighed, realizing she still had to write that stupid article. "Why did I have to pitch that story?" Betty mumbled under her breath. Marc looked at her, she looked up at him. "What am I going to do? I have no idea where to begin?" Betty looked off in the distance. The thought of Daniel not talking to her came back to her mind. She couldn't seem to do anything knowing he wasn't talking to her. Then it hit her; a light bulb went off in her brain. "I got an idea! Thanks Marc." Betty said excitedly and ran off leaving Marc spinning in his chair "uhh, you're welcome!" he said confused.
"No! Wilhelmina, get out!" Daniel's voice trailed down the hallway loudly. As Betty came up to her old desk she saw Wilhelmina coming out of Daniel's office angry and Daniel pacing his office also angry. "What's going on?" Betty asked Amanda as she was standing next to the desk.
"Daniel and Wilhelmina had a heated disagreement"
Betty looked at Amanda "About what?"
"I don't know." Amanda said looking at her nails. Betty took a breath and headed into his office. Daniel was now sitting at his desk, his face red, looking at the proofs in front of him. "Hi…uh…Daniel…"
Daniel didn't say anything but looked up. Although he was upset, he was actually glad to see Betty.
"Um…I know this is probably not a good time, but uh…I was wondering…I'm kind of stuck on my pitch and I was…uh…wondering if you maybe wanted to work on it with me?" Betty said biting her lip nervously. "I have no inspiration and don't know where to begin. I was hoping you might want to work together" Betty said looking down at her feet waiting for Daniel to speak. Betty never felt time pass so slowly.
She looked at him, and added "uh, you know what? never mind, it was stupid of me to ask, you have enough to worry about" Betty said starting to walk to the door. "Betty…"
Betty turned to look at him. A smile came across his face "I would love to work with you"
Betty smiled a shine in her eyes. "Great!"
"So? what? Do you want to work on it tonight, then?" Daniel asked getting up from his desk. Betty smiled, happy that Daniel was actually speaking to her. "Uh, ya sure; that'd be great."
"Ok. I guess I'll see you tonight. Just come by my office at 8"
"okay." Betty smiled and started to walk out, but turned back "Thank you, Daniel." She smiled and walked out.
Daniel watched her walk away and smiled "you're welcome, Betty."
