Robin wanted to be the best employee he could be. Well he didn't want to be on the hunt job scene for a long while. So he decided to arrive at the office half hour early. He looked sharp and ready for action in his expensive suit. Even if he wasn't the rich boy he once was, he still had connections with many expensive vendors.

He waved at the security officer and headed towards the elevator. Once inside he was greeted with a beauty. She was slender and had dark honey eyes. She smiled coyly at him "good morning" he said. Being as polite as ever.

She giggled softly "good morning. You must be the boss's new assistant"

He turned to her "yes. Name's Robin Richardson" he extended his hand out to her and she shook it.

"Name's Amber Dell. So how is it working for the devil?"

He smirked "I take you are not too fond of our Boss?" the woman shrugged

"Not particularly. I was thinking of sending my resume so I could take the position about three years ago, but the woman is a total bitch. There's so much I can deal with and a PMSing woman is not my idea of fun"

He chuckled "she's not so bad"

She looked at him and laughed "oh. About five of her previous assistants quit, they couldn't deal with her attitude, and three of them were fired for minuscule things"

"Why do you really hate her? I mean if I were a boss I too would be a hard ass and if you were incompetent I would fire you without a second thought"

She smiled "okay you got me. I don't like her because every men in this company has the hots for her. Something about trying to tame that wild beast"

"Oh jealous. You shouldn't be you're a beautiful woman. I mean I don't know if these men are blind or stupid. I would never turn you down for a date" he smiled that devilish smile of his that always made the women weak.

She blushed "oh. Are you offering Mr. Richardson?"

"Perhaps Miss Dell" she kept blushing

"Maybe we can have lunch together, I'm always eating at the restaurant that's a block away" the elevator stopped on the tenth floor "this is me. See you later Mr. Richardson"

"Robin, and alright see you later Miss Dell"

She winked "Amber" the door closed and Robin smirked.

What an easy conquest. Um I think I'm going to like working here.

He was sitting at his desk fixing papers and trying to read important documents. He was unaware of the tall man walking towards the office and the two body guards at his side. The man reached the office and was about to open it...

"Excuse me Sir. May I be of some assistant?" the man dropped his hand from the door knob and turned to Robin.

"And who might you be young man?" Robin took notice that this man was as tall as him and about 200 pounds. His bodyguards were not far behind the muscle scale either. He was a little intimidated but no one would enter the office if his boss was not there.

"My name is Mr. Richardson and I'm miss Roth's personal assistant"

The man laughed and Robin just looked at him "so the brat got herself a male assistant, tell me why can't I not enter the office?"

"Well sir, first you do not have an appointment with Miss roth, secondly she is not here at the moment and I find it offensive to enter a person's office without their knowledge"

The man laughed again and adjusted his glasses. Robin found something similar in the shade of color of his eyes "well I'm glad to know that my daughter finally hired someone who is competent. Her other employees would shake in their pants if I showed unexpected. My name is Derek Trigon"

Robin was cursing himself mentally. He had the audacity to stop the head honcho from entering what was once his office "Well sir I'm so.."

"Don't apologize son. I'm glad you did your job, because it is your job to make sure my daughter is not overwhelmed with anything or anyone. I'll just take a seat right here" he proceeded to walk towards some couches and picked up a newspaper.

About ten minutes later another man was walking towards the office door with the same intention of walking right in "Ah excuse me no one is allowed in miss roth's office at the moment"

Garfield snapped his head to the side and came face to face with a tall man. Taller than him "I'm here to see Raven and I suggest you step aside"

Robin glared at the man what the hell is wrong with people trying to walk into her office. And this one what is this one's problem "well sir. Miss Roth is not in her office yet and it is best if you please take a sit and wait for her arrival"

Garfield looked him up and down "and you are?"

"I'm Mr. Richardson and I'm miss Roth's personal assistant"

Garfield pointed at him "you? I didn't know Raven hired some man to do a woman's job"

Okay robin was at the point of killing the bastard. How dare he? "I'm sorry you feel that way sir, now please take a seat and wait for miss Roth"

To say that the tension was little was a lie. The men glared at each other and Mr. Trigon only laughed. Garfield had not seen him and he would remain hidden behind his paper until the right time. Garfield did notice the bodyguards and wondered who was the big shot.

His musings were cut short because the laughter of a little girl brought him out of it. He smiled.

Zoe skipped while giggling and laughing as Raven tried to keep up with her energetic four year old. You would think that at seven in the morning the child would be tired, but no she had more energy that a battery "mommy I want to jump and sing and dance"

Raven rolled her eyes to the ceiling and sighed "we will do all that at the park later on baby"

Zoe squeal. The men all turned to see them walking towards them. Robin smiled and watched as the child ran to him "mr. Richar..richard...hello mister rich" he chuckled and bent down

"Good morning Zoe and it's Richardson" she giggled and looked around. She spotted a man reading a paper and noticed him beckoned her with a finger. Only one person did that while reading his paper and her eyes lit up.

"Grandpa" she yelled and ran towards the man. Raven shook her head and greeted Robin and then turned to Garfield.

He stood up "good morning Raven"

"Mr. Logan. I see you came early"

"I said I would. I see your father is here, afraid of what my lawyer would do?"

She glared at him and then smiled "why Garfield perhaps you are the one that's afraid" Raven walked away from him and stood before her father who was tickling Zoe under her chin and the child was giggling like crazy.

Trigon stood up with Zoe in his arms "Daughter"

"Father"

it was silent everyone looking at the father and daughter whom were not very much being friendly. Robin wondered what the hell was going on and who was the Garfield character.

Everyone just stood there, even Zoe was still, without warning Trigon leaned down towards his short daughter, who was about 5 feet 7 inches and kissed her forehead "I'm glad you are well honey"

Raven smiled and brought her arms around her father "I'm sorry I haven't been calling and the only time I do call is to ask for favors"

He took her hand "that's why I'm your father. We may not be the best of friends or close as we should be, but us Trigons must look out for each other"

Raven nodded and walked over to her office door "why don't we all start this discussion?"

Garfield walked over to her "I'm waiting for my lawyer to arrive"

Raven shot him a glare "so you are still planning on doing this Logan, fine my lawyers are on the second floor awaiting orders"

"Why is your father here?"

"My father is here because he has a few things to say to you. Now either we get this done and over with or we will see each other in court"

Trigon put Zoe down and she ran to Rave "mommy"

Raven and Garfield looked down at the child and he knelt down "hi"

Zoe looked at him and hid behind Raven, Gar frowned and looked at raven for some sort of help "Zoe don't be rude"

the child came out from behind her mother's legs and looked at Gar again "hi" it was so small and so uncertain "my names is Zoe Roth" she said being polite. Gar smiled and extended his hand out to the child.

"Hi Zoe, my name is Garfield" she took it and he was so happy.

"Are you mommy's friend?"

He nodded "yes I'm your mommy's friend, well old friend"

She smiled having lost her nervousness and then ran to Robin "mr. Rich I want to play now" he ruffled the child's hair and picked her up sitting her on his desk while Gar glared at him.

"Well little miss Roth and what would you like to play?"

"Ooh can we play in the big room with all the lights?" he looked at her strangely while the others began to enter the office. Raven stayed behind and walked over to her assistant and daughter "you know where all the paper is"

"She means the copy room. She's obsessed with that room. Zoe I want you to behave for mr Richardson while I talk with your grandpa and Mr. Logan"

The child picked up Robin's pen and began to write on paper "alright mommy, buh-bye" she said not even looking up. Raven shook her head and smiled at both Robin and Zoe.

"ABSOLUTELY NOT"

Robin flinched. That was the second time that Raven raised her voice and it wasn't nice. Zoe looked at the door and wanted to go inside but Robin kept distracting her. Two other men had come up and then a woman, she was pretty, slim, blond and blue eyes, but she was a little snob. She was there as Mr. Logan Lawyer and when she walked into the room Raven exploded.

He only heard the name Terra and Bitch and decided that Zoe was better off in the copy room. So he took her.

Raven was livid. Terra was Gar's lawyer and she had a smug on her face. Raven wanted to kill the bitch "Logan I will not give you share custody of my daughter"

Terra cleared her throat "well miss Roth Judges are known to grant mother's the custody of their children, however lately judges have been granting father's the same rights"

Raven glared at the bitch again "I'm a goddamn good mother, I have no records, no additions, and I'm always there for my child. I provide everything she needs and wants and don't think any judge will be stupid enough to grant this man share custody let alone custody"

Terra matched Raven's glare "you are forgetting miss roth, you are a single mother and the child needs both a mother and a father"

"I'm her mother and I'm her father, she doesn't need anything. And might I remind you miss Fisher, your client is also single, has a record and has hired a lawyer whom he was or probably is still sleeping with. If I don't know what conflict of interest is I could swear it was okay for him to sleep with his lawyer"

Gar and Terra were boiling. How dare Raven bring their personal lives into this...oh but how dare they try and make her share Zoe? And eye for an eye she always believed "now, if you continue this pointless argument Garfield baby, then I'm going to bring out every little secret into the lime light"

He stood up and walked closer to Raven, her father's guards intercepted him "Sir please keep your distance from Miss Roth"

He shot them a nasty glare "Raven, Zoe is my child, she is part of me. Why would you deny me that right?"

"I didn't deny you anything Gar. You took off, you didn't want to be her father"

He shook his head and looked like he was defeated "I didn't know when you went into labor, I didn't even know you were pregnant until we were already over"

"Exactly, we were over because you slept with her" she pointed at terra "and when you learned the truth of my pregnancy you didn't even bother to find out what was going on. If I was okay, if I was sick. The way I see it you gave up any rights"

"That's not true. I would have been there if you would have kept me informed. You had my number"

She slammed her hands "don't put this shit on me Gar. You had my number and knew where I was living. So don't bullshit your way of this. And if you must know the same night my baby was being born I called you"

his eyes widened. He never got any calls, shit he never even heard the phone "what?"

"Oh surprised? Why don't you ask your lovely lawyer about it?" he turned to terra whom was trying to avoid his eyes "last I remember you two were in the middle of reaching your climax when she answered the phone"

Gar walked over to Terra "what is she talking about Terra? And please tell me the truth"

She swallowed and met his eyes "she did call"

"And you didn't tell me?"

She shook her head "I thought she was just trying to get you to go with her. I didn't want to lose you and I still don't Garfield"

He balled his fists "Terra"

Mr. Trigon smirked "enough of this. Mr. Logan I suggest you rethink this before things get out of hand"

Gar turned to the man "this is your fault. You never liked me. You thought I wasn't good for your daughter"

Mr trigon raised and eyebrow "my fault? Well I wasn't the one who slept with his secretary, nor the one who decided to leave for a month telling raven that it was part of his job, when you actually were going to meet with this young lady, for lack of a better word"

Terra stood up "I had enough of this, Miss roth my client will be submitting his case into the court, see you then. Come Garfield you are only going to get insulted"

Both left without a second glance back. Raven slammed her hands on her desk and sighed "Well Raven my child I must head back to my home"

She looked up and smiled softly "Thank you for your support father. I know this is my fight but I'm going to need all the help I can get. That bitch was right if we go into court I might not win my case"

Trigon smirked and walked over to his daughter bringing her into a hug "Don't worry my little Zoe is not going to be spending time with that moron. I'll see who I can bribe"

Raven laughed "Funny dad. You can't bribe anyone, I know we can win this without playing dirty. If they even think about playing dirty then we will hit fire with fire"

Trigon nodded and walked over to the door "And Raven"

"Yes Father?"

"Next time you call me when I'm sleeping, I will take over your house for a week" she paled. She really couldn't live with her father. He was the most difficult person in the world and she wasn't too great herself. "See you later".

Robin had a blast with Zoe, she was easy to entertain and not too annoying. Spending that time with her reminded him of his younger sister. She would be around seven now. She was only five when he left two years ago and he missed her terribly. Well he did watch her a few times when she would come out of school and alfred would be there to take her home. She was getting taller and he was missing so much. They kept in touch when he was sure that his father was working and his mother wasn't there to know they were on the phone talking. Alfred always made sure that they had time for each other.

Zoe ran to her mother's office and knocked. Raven looked up from her paper "mommy I want to come in" Raven smiled and put her papers down.

"Come in Zoe" she did and bounced up to her mother "And where have you been?"

Zoe raised her arms and Raven picked her up and sat her on her laps "I went to that big room. Mommy was that man being mean to you?"

"What makes you think that?"

She looked up at her mother and pouted a little "I heard you screaming and he is a stranger so there" she took out her tongue and Raven chuckled.

"How about we have lunch?"

"Okayyyyyyy" they walked out of the office and spotted Robin walking towards the elevator "Mr. Richhhhhh"

Raven could never understand the amount of energy this child had. Robin stopped and looked back at the two ladies walking towards him. Zoe was bouncing up and down in Raven's arms and Raven was struggling to keep her contain "Zoe stop moving so much please"

She did just that and both stopped before Robin. He was looking at mother and daughter and saw the similarites in both, yet the difference in attitudes. Raven was very distant and cold while Zoe was bubbly and sweet. But then again she was only four and had no notion of the real world.

"What was the yelling for little miss Roth?"

she giggled and reached out for him trying to be picked up by him "we going to have food, please come with mommy and me"

Raven was trying to pull her back "Zoe I'm sure mr Richardson is not going to eat the same thing we are and he probably wants to be alone"

Robin nodded "I'm sorry little one I will have lunch with you tomorrow"

Zoe pouted and her eyes watered. Both adult knew what that meant. They took the elevator and ride all the way down. Zoe kept quiet and that was odd. Robin let them step out once they were on the first floor and then followed behind them.

Amber was waiting for him by the door to the lobby and waved at him. He smirked and raven rolled her eyes. She wondered how long it would have taken him to find a loose woman or when the females would flock to him.

She walked ahead of them and Zoe turned to see Robin and Amber begin to talk. She did the only thing she thought of. I mean he was her new play mate and she really liked him. She began to wail.

Oh once Zoe Roth began to wail there was no stopping her. She was as stubborn as her mother, perhaps the only similarity in personalities between mother and daughter.

The people in the lobby stopped and watched as their boss struggled with her crying child. Some wanted to comment on how poorly the mother was treating the child other kept walking. Raven's glare was more than enough to quiet them all.

Robin stopped talking to the flirtatious Amber and walked over to Raven "Zoe please quiet down baby"

"Mommy...I want...mr...rich...I want..." she began to hiccup and Raven wanted to just turn back and forget about lunch.

Robin put a hand to Zoe's head "hey there why are you crying?" the child sniffed a little and then smiled.

She reached out for him and he took her from Raven "I want...to...eat...with...you" she rubbed her eyes.

Raven just watched them without a trace of anger or humor, heck without a trace of any emotions on her face. Amber on the other hand was a little pissed. She walked up to them "Robin we are going to be late for lunch"

He turned to her while Zoe put her arms around his neck and glared at Amber, little possessive indeed. Noted Raven. She smirked.

"I'm sorry Amber, can we reschedule? I forgot that I made a date with little Zoe here" Amber was seething oh yes she was, but her boss was in front of her and she would not make a fool of her self.

"It's alright Mr. Richardson, Zoe and I will not interfere with your plans" she tried to pull Zoe away from him "Zoe let go of him"

"Nuh uh...I want to eat with my friend. I don't have aunti kori I don't have a friend mommy. I want to eat with him. Please momma"

Robin kissed her cheek "alright that's settled. Amber would you like to accompany us then?"

She turned around from them "forget it. I forgot I have something to do" she left.

"I'm really sorry about this"

"Don't worry Miss Roth. Well shall we go?"

Zoe nodded "yes. Mommy I got my new friend"

Raven smiled "yes I see that" I only hope you don't get too attached to him, he might be fired yet.
