They entered the Mode building Daniel had carefully placed his arm around Betty in the protective way only he could.
They walked up to his office were Betty sat in Daniels chair he laughed inwardly that she was the only one he would let sit in his chair.
"I feel so stupid I know I said it would be worth it and that I would regret it if I did not take the chance with Henry but I feel like someone has just ripped my heart out I know matters of the heart are not your strong suit Daniel but I just did not know were to turn"
Daniel giggled himself as much as he mocked hurt he knew Betty was right matters of the heart were not what he was best at,
ever since Sophia he had not felt like he could have a relationship with a woman least of all fall in love but something
struck him about the way Betty was looking out his office window she had sadness in her eye's but there was something else there to
Hope even when Betty was upset she always had hope this is what Daniel admired most about his assistant and his friend.
"I know that but I know something about getting my heart broken and I know it hurts I know you are hurting right now but trust me when it gets easier" Daniel said honestly as he walked towards Betty with a tissue in hand.
"Come on and I will take you home its late and we have to be back here in a few hours by the way you can have tomorrow of" Daniel said in his matter of fact voice.
" But Daniel we have so much to do you have your meting with Alexis" Betty protested.
" She can wait Betty go home get some rest take the day for your self and call me tomorrow actually later on today and let me know how your are doing and remember I am here for you" he said as he tenderly gave her a kiss on the forehead.
Betty woke up to the sound of her father coming into her room with chocolate chip pancakes what he knew would cheer her up.
"Miha you have to eat something" he said with a look of concern in his eyes his heart was breaking for his daughter.
"I'm OK dad I have to get to work..." she said with a heavy sigh as she got out of bed.
"But I thought that Daniel gave you the day off" he interrupted.
"I know but I can't just do nothing it would be better if i was busy" she said motioning her father out of her room so she could get ready.
"OK miha just promise me you will eat something before you go" "I promise dad".
Betty made her way down stairs to hear Hilda arguing with Justin about being late for school if they do not leave right now.
"aye Betty how are you are you OK...What Justin get of the phone now or you are grounded"
Betty laughed inwardly she could always count on her family to make her smile.
"OK I'm off to work" she said as she grabbed a pan cake and headed out the door.
"Mode magazine how may i direct your call" Amanda started her usual day flipping through the magazine.
"Betty what are you doing here Daniel said you would not be here today?"
"well I am so you can transfer his calls back to me thanks Amanda"
Amanda say a look with Betty that she had not seen before she had seen her upset before but never
this bad she knew her heart was broken. For one minute there she felt bad for her as she knew what it felt like all to well after what she went through with Daniel. She quickly snapped out of it as she spotted the new Gucci boots they would look killer on her.
"Hi Daniel"Betty said as she switched her computer on.
"Betty what re you doing here I told you to take the day of " he said putting his onion bagel and coffee on his desk.
"I know and thank you for that but I really need to keep busy today but thanks anyway" "do you want to go over your notes for your meting with Alexis before you go down" Betty said setting up her desk getting ready for her day.
"No that's OK Alexis had to cancel something about needing more work done I chose not to ask for details" he said shuddering at the taught of what was next.
"O OK well I will head down to design with your notes for the next issue then OK then ill order you your lunch"
"OK thanks Betty"
Daniel had not had to busy a day but kept trying to get things for Betty to do he saw that she seemed better when she had more to do.
He shut down his computer and tidied up his notes before he left for that day.
"Betty come on time to go home" he said gently grabbing her arm "OK just one minute I just have to finish this before"
"No as your boss I command you to finish up now" he interrupted in his matter of fact voice.
"OK you win" she said grabbing her coat "And I am taking you to dinner and no protesting cause I am not taking no for an answer".
"OK were do you want to go" she said like she was admitting defeat.
"Really I won cool" he said quite giddily which made Betty laugh."How about pizza" he said with the cheeky grin of his that always made her smile.
"Deal but I think we can forget the singing this time"
"Done" he said holding out his arm for her to link up with as they left the building arm and arm Daniel noticed that Betty was smiling and not just for show it was one of her genuine smiles. It made his heart to a little skip.
That's all for now I am focusing on there friendship at the moment it will turn into more I'm just working the story out in my head at the moment.
