Interacting With: Jason (Over the phone) || Location: The Law Firm[/center]

Cynthia retired back to her office shortly after hanging up on Jason, her head swimming. She sipped eagerly at her tea, which had cooled significantly since she had left it there. She settled back in her chair, an open file taunting her on her desk, and a pen gripped loosely in one hand. She could hardly focus, pressing the pen to the paper at times only to pull back and leave a small dot of ink on the document. In the corner of her office, Gerald was still busy, but she caught him sneaking glances at her from time to time. She attempted to just ignore him, but after a few minutes passed by she found herself increasingly annoyed and curious as to what he had in mind. [color=wheat]“Is there something you want to say?”[/color] She asked suddenly, alarming him enough to make him jump and shake the filing cabinet. 

“No, ma’am, I was just making sure you were okay. People have been saying your headaches are coming back.” Gerald said swiftly, turning to face her with a small amount of redness sweeping over his cheeks. 

[color=wheat]“I assure you, I’m fine. A lot has been going on in my personal life lately, but things will get better.”[/color] She prayed they would, her whole body tense with the thought of things devolving into something much worse. Things could always worsen, but there had to be a silver lining somewhere, she just hadn’t thought of it yet. In seven hours, she figured it would become a bit more clear. Until then, all she had was a cup of tea and a concerned intern to remedy herself. 

“Oh, I’m sorry about that.” Gerald said, completely unsure of himself. “Well, if you need me I’d be happy to help.” He was met with a genuine smile from Cynthia, one that expressed true gratitude. She nodded, gesturing for him to get back to work, narrowing in on her own assignments. 

[color=wheat]“Thanks, Gerald.”[/color] She muttered, happy to have someone in her corner.
