A/n: School started up again so there may be some time between updates . I'll try to make the chapts as long as I can to make up for the lapse in update I hope you like this chapt enjoy.

Chapter 3 : Showing her how much he cares
Betty walked off the elevator wearing her new sweater. She still couldn't believe someone thought she was special enough to recieve such an expensive , yet personal ,gift . Now that she had broken up with Walter , she could , if she wanted , pursue something with Henry but she felt as if something was still there to hold her back from making the first step. She walked over to her desk and on top lay another package , it was smaller than the first . She sat down and examined the package and just like the first there was no indication of who the sender was, only a one line message.
" Showing you how much I care"
Betty read, she smiled and carefully opened the package to reveal a small box she opened the box and inside it was a gold charm bracelet with a mexican flag , pen and paper, her name written in her faveorite color , a star and heart charm .
" Is that real gold !"
Amanda said coming out of nowhere. She grabbed the bracelet out of Betty's hand and looked at it closely .
"It's real ... but these charms totally ruin it"
" Well I thinks it's beautiful and a very thoughtful gift "
" Whatever..."
Amanda said walking away , secretly fuming. Had the world gone mad, Betty recieved not one but, now two very epensive gifts. There could only be one person who could afford such expensive gifts and only one who would give them to Betty ,of all people.
"Daniel!"
She said to herself . It had to be him the whole office had seen how much he had changed since Bradford hired Betty as his assistant. Jealousy began to build inside her , Daniel had never done anything like that for her, what was so special about Betty . What did Betty have that she didn't .
A plan began to form in her mind. It was obvious Betty had no idea it was Daniel , though it was pretty obvious, so she would make sure Betty would never find out . She walked back over to Betty's desk wearing her sneaky smile.
" Oh , I forget to tell you ...I saw Henry hanging around your desk earlier "
With that said she walked away to let Betty put two and two together. Technically she hadn't lied , Henry had been by her desk but she had also seen a delivery man place the package there. Betty would believe her secret admirer was Henry and that would lead her away from ever thinking it was Daniel . Daniel would have to forget about Betty, once she and Henry hooked up, and that would leave room for Amanda to get Daniel for herself .
Daniel watched through his office window as Betty opened his second gift. When he spotted it in the store he knew it would be perfect to hold the personalized charms he'd ordered earlier . He watched as Amanda snatched the bracelet from Betty and was going to go out there to distract Amanda from saying anything hurtful to Betty ,but stopped when he saw Betty could handle whatever Amanda was saying.
He then picked up his phone to order his third and final gift for Betty . As soon as the fashion show was over, he would personally give it to her and boy would she be surprised .
Betty had started to admire and place the bracelet around her wrist when Amanda reappeared . She couldn't believe what Amanda had told her . Were her suspicions about the first package right , was it really Henry who had gotten her the gifts. She knew it hadn't been Walter because she had asked him about it when they'd had lunch.
She looked toward Daniel's office and saw him talking excitedly on the phone. She smiled ,happy that Daniel was happy again .She hated seeing him the way he was after the Sofia fiasco. She looked away and heard someone clear their throat, it was Henri.
" Henri!"
" Hi..."
" Hi"
" I was looking for you earlier "
" Yeah...Amanda told me ...whats up"
" I was wondering if ...uh...if we could ..."
" Betty !"
Daniel said appearing out of nowhere .
" Oh ,am I interupting something "
" Well we were..."
" No, do you need something Daniel "
Betty said cutting off Henry.
" Yeah, I wanted to see the questions so far for the Jean Claude interview "
"Oh , I have them ..right ... here "
Betty said shuffling items on her desk then handing Daniel a stack of papers.
" Here you go ... do you need anything else?"
" Yeah ,could I talk to you for a second "
He said beckoning her towards his office. She looked at Henry then back at Daniel.
" It's ok I'll wait "
" I promise I'll be right back"
Betty said following Daniel into his office .
" Daniel, whats going on?"
" Are you two dating ?"
Daniel asked . Betty was shocked at his question , why would he care who she went out with .
" No...I just broke up with Walter ... why would you ask that ?"
" I.. uh ..I just don't want to see you get hurt, your my friend ... I care abou..I know what it feels like to have my heart broken , and I don't want you to rush into anything so soon after Walter."
" Thank you for caring Daniel I appreciate it , but I can take care of myself , I'm not even sure I want anything with Henry but , I'm not going to keep avoiding him out of fear either , whatever happens I know I can handle it ."
Betty said with confidence . She gave Daniel one of her famous smiles and walked out of his office.
" Idiot !"
Daniel said to himself watching her walk out of his office why didn't he tell her the truth about why he didn't want her with Henry instead of some lie about her getting hurt. Maby that part was true ,he had felt the pain of a broken heart and he really wouldn't want to see her get hurt .
" Sorry about that, Daniel needed my help with some details of an interview "
Betty said walking back over to Henry.
"It's ok you are susposed to be working...maby I should come back"
" No, you can just tell me quickly what you wanted to ask... me"
" Well I was wondering why you never called me back...after the christmas party"
" What do you mean ?"
" I called your house and left a message with someone named ...Helga or Heidi"
" You mean Hilda!"
" Yeah , I think she said she was your sister"
" Not after I get through with her she wont be !"
Betty said storming out and leaving a bewildered Henry standing by her desk. He watched her dissappear into the elevator and a few seconds later the elevator dinged . He figuired Betty decided to come back but, It was Bradford Meade who stepped out instead. He walked towards Daniel and stopped at Betty's desk .
" Don't you work in accounting"
" Yes sir, I do "
" Then..."
" I... should... get back to work"
Henry said walking away , clearly intimedated by the Elder Meade.
Bradford walked into Daniel's office surprising him.
" Dad !"
" Daniel.."
" What are you doing here?"
" There are some important matters I need to discuss with you "
"Does it have to be now.."
Daniel said . He was worried about Betty , he watched her talking to Henry then suddenly storm out of the buidling , he wanted to go after her .
" Yes now !"
His father said clearly frustrated .
" Alright what do you need to..."
Daniel started but stopped when several policeman burst into his office and handcuffed his father .
" Bradford Meade , you're under arrest for the murder of Faye Sommers "
Daniel just stood there dumbstruck , he didn't know what to do, where was Betty. How could this be happening ,what was he going to do?
A/N: Well what do you think I hope the shifts in POV's werent too confusing if it is I might redo the chapt to make it clearer . I hope you like the chapt and I really can't say when I'll update but the fact that I know exactly what I want to write for the next chapter will help in updating sooner rather than later . Thanks for reading and as always no flames , just reviews and constructive criticism would be appreciated.
