Chelsea was sitting there and started to tuck into the chinese whilst she looked over at Gideon, she hated that he wasted his time to see her and check up on her. She sighed and nodded but decided not to reply because she couldn’t be bothered to answer him over this because he was right but she didn’t want to admit that. She sighed, “Well I am not going to stop you from spending the night here with me, I guess your company is not that bad.” She sighed looking over at him, “But can we not spend the night being miserable now please because it is just going to make this worse.”

Gideon sat there glancing over at the women sat in front of him, she worked for him and was very much a great person and a hard worker but also someone who really got him and was helping him win his custody battle for his daughter. But the problem he was having was finding her attractive, but right now the most important thing was being there for her and trying to make her realise alcohol wasn’t the answer. He laughed a little, “My company isn’t bad? Ouch.” He smiled trying to lighten the mood for a moment, “Well of course we can, what do you want to do?” He looked over at her for a moment as he finished his Chinese. He then looked over at her for a moment and placed a hand on her cheek for a moment, “I know you wanted to stop being miserable but I just need to say this, I am so so sorry that this has happened to you and I want to do anything I can to help you.” He said as he ran a hand down her cheek then through the fringe of her hair for a moment before he moved closer and placed his lips on hers softly and kissed her softly as he held onto her neck softly.

Chelsea was sitting there opposite her boss and sighed for a moment, she felt very uncomfortable around him right now because she was such a mess and she sighed, “Fine for you, I will stop, I will stop myself from drinking.” She sighed looking down for a moment before shaking her head, “Gideon, I can’t do this, not to you, you’re a busy guy and a hard working guy and I shouldn’t be getting in your way. Why are you even here? You’re a great guy really for coming over and trying to help me but honestly, you could have been doing anything with your night instead of being here with me.”

Gideon sat on the sofa next to Chelsea, he was sure this was hard for the girl and he just wanted to do anything to help her, since she had been helping him a lot recently with everything going on. “Okay, look it’ll be hard and I understand but you’re just ruining your life doing so.” He stated looking at her for a moment as he took her hand and looked at her, “You wouldn’t be getting in my way Chelsea, you’re a great employee, you’re a great friend as well and I can take time off my busy life to help you through this tough time. I am here because I care about you Chelsea, you shouldn’t be going through this on your own. I know but I wanted to spend my night with you.”

Chelsea was sat on her sofa and she felt the pain go through her body again the reminder her dad was gone and never coming back. She didn’t like the idea of that and she wanted to drink, she wanted to drink her sorrows away but it didn’t look like it was going to happen that night. “But it makes me feel better Gideon, do you not get it, I hate feeling like this.” She sighed, she realised he was right and she took a hold of his hand briefly, “Thank you. You’re right. He’s not coming back.” She said as a tear fell down her face and she looked down at the floor for a moment, “Gideon, I can’t make you do that, you need to fight for your daughter. I’ll be fine.” She sighed as she sobbed with her head down. 

Gideon sat there next to the girl on her couch, he wanted her too see that people cared about her, he knew she wouldn’t believe him right now but one day he was going to prove to her that she was cared about. He nodded, “I get that, but it’s not good to drown your sorrows in alcohol.” He stated as he felt his hand being taken and nodded, “You’re welcome.” He said as he took his thumb and whipped the tear away from her face, “Hey we have time for that and we can do it. But I am here for you.”

Chelsea was trying her hardest to keep it together, because she didn’t want to cry again, she missed her dad, she missed talking to him but she knew he was no longer suffering. As she put a hand through her hair before taking a bite of her food before listening to him and she shrugged, “Well I mean it helped me get through the last few days though Gideon. I know but t’s been making me feel good. Are there? Like who Gideon? I don’t see many people at my side caring except you.”

Gideon sat here on the sofa with Chelsea, part of him just wanted to pull her in and kiss her but he knew right now was the wrong time and still she works for him, so he couldn’t be thinking about that could he? He sat there and shook his had, “No Chelsea, you might say that but it doesn’t actually fix your problems or fix the fact hat your dad is gone and the next day the pain will still be there. Listen I know you miss your dad and it must suck to lose someone so close to you but here’s the thing he’s not going to come back and as long as you register that in your mind you will move one. Well that doesn’t mean people don’t care. Look i am here and I care and I am going to remain here until you don’t need anyone anymore and you stop relying on the alcohol to help you through this.”

Chelsea took a seat on the couch and handed him a plate whilst she delved into to the Chinese packet. She loved it and it was probably the most she had eaten since she found out the news. She  was glad that the guy had turned up, having company was something she needed more then she thought.  Hearing his words she looked at him before trying to stop the tears from falling down her face, “Well if you call getting drunk every night okay. Then yeah. But I mean I am at least glad you’re here.”

Gideon looked over at the girl as she started to at the food that he had brought over whilst he placed some stuff on his plate. He looked down, he needed to stop thinking of her in anything other then a friend and his employee but it was hard. He heard the girls words and he sighed for a moment and shook his head for a moment and bit hi lip, “Chels, that’s not okay and that’s not good for you. I am glad I am here too. Please just don’t because the more you drink, the worse your health will get and your dad would not want to know your ruining your life because he is gone. There are still people out there who care for you and want you here.”

Chelsea stood there for a moment in complete shock that he had come to hers just to see if she was okay, she never even expected that and she knew he was going through his own stuff.  “Oh I did? My interview was so long ago, how do you remember that Gideon?” She asked raising her eyebrows putting a slight smile on her face, “I like the sound of that.” She nodded looking at him as he walked in and she looked over at him as she sat on the sofa, “So you can come join me here you know.” She smiled briefly, before looking up at him, “ Why did you come here? i mean you have so much of your own things going on.”

Gideon glanced over at Chelsea for a moment and laughed, “I didn’t forget though, I remember things especially interviews.” He nodded looking at her trying not to show how he felt out there. He smiled briefly looking over at her and nodded, “I came here because I knew you would be alone and I needed to make sure you were okay. Forget about my problems for now.” He smiled, “Are you even remotely okay.”

Chelsea stood there at her door for a moment, she felt the pain still there, she just wanted her dad to come back but it wasn’t going to happen. She stood there looking ahead at her boss, still wondering why he  had chosen to come to hers to check up on her, they weren’t dating so she wasn’t sure why he just randomly showed up. She looked at him for a moment, “Why did you want ot check up on me? Well that’s quite the relief. Okay come in ,you had me at Chinese. How did you know it was my favourite?” She asked as she let him in before getting some plates out from the cupboard.

Gideon stood there glancing at the girl for a moment, he wasn’t sure what to do, the last person he had to help through a death was his best mate and they just got drunk, he wasn’t sure if that was the right thing to do when this was his employee. He just wanted to make sure she was happy or at least okay, happy was something that couldn’t work and he knew that. He stood there and nodded, “Well I am glad you want Chinese, I am very happy that you do. I don’t know you mentioned it once to me, I think it was at your interview.” He smiled looking at her, “I also brought over beer if you would like it.” He smiled looking at her as he looked around.

Chelsea was lost in her own mind for a moment, she had no clue how to feel as of right no since her dad did, it was like a part of her had died too. She hated not being at work but she wasn’t in a stable mood to work for a law firm right now so he had to wait until she was fully ready to go back to the office , lucky she still had a lot of holiday left to take but she didn’t want to be gone for so long, so how long was she going  to need? She felt bad for leaving Gideon in a time when she knew he needed her and probably needed help but it wasn’t something she was ready for.

She sat on her couch in trackies  watching a weird comedy movie that wasn’t helping, she wasn’t sure what to do but it got to the point that she didn’t care because she wasn’t paying attention to it. She sat there before she heard the door and it couldn’t be her mom, she was in the Bahama’s so she made her way to the door and opened it. Seeing Gideon standing there, she was shocked, “What are you doing here” She said looking ashamed at what she was wearing. 

Gideon had no clue what to expect from the girl when he saw her, he knew she was going to feel low and he didn’t expect her to pipe up when he got to the door. He was aware how hard a loss could be on someone and he wanted to just make sure girl was okay and was being sensible. He didn’t even know what he would say once he had made it to hers, would he even be invited in was his next thought. He knew it was a long shot even going there whilst she was struggling but he needed to be there for her, she said she valued their friendship and that’s what a friend would do right? Turn up to someones house to see if they were okay. As he saw her door open he put a smile on his face hoping to see she was at least a little okay. “Oh Hi Chelsea, well I wanted to check up on you, I am not here for work or anything, i wanted to make sure you were okay. Please at least let me in, we can talk, watch t, talk. I even brought over Chinese.”

Gideon couldn’t help but be worried about the girl who he worked with or who worked for him, considering the fact that they had just agreed to help each other but he was worried about her, she just lost her dad and he didn’t know how to help her but he really just want to make sure she was okay. It had been a week since he found out the news and he wanted to be the one to be there. Something had recently caught him, the fact that he might have feelings for the girl, and he really didn’t know what to do about them, his divorce wasn’t final yet and he hadn’t got custody of his little girl yet.

He chose to ignore those feelings for now, that wasn’t important, the importance part was making sure he girl was okay, he never knew what was going to happen in the future but he needed to be there for the girl for now. He made his way towards Chelsea’s apartment. Walking up the stairs, he knocked the door waiting for the response.

Chelsea was sitting there slightly confused for a moment but nodded before laughing a little, “I value my job Gideon but I also value my boss  and the relationship we have built that’s why I care to actually listen no matter what it is you want me to listen too.”  She said looking at him, “Anyway it’s always handy being able to trust your assistant right?” She stated glancing up at the man who was obviously at some kind of loss. “Because, I never studied to be a Lawyer and it wasn’t really in my plans to be one. Oh and I never thought I could be one. Are you sure you want to do it though? Because if you find anything out, it could hurt you even more? Of course I will help you.” She stated as she looked over at the guy for a moment. 

As she sat there she heard his words and she just looked down at the ground for a moment, she wasn’t even sure what to say. “Gideon, it’s not that I didn’t want ot tell you, I just didn’t want  to be treated differently and I didn’t want people to look at me to make sure I was okay because honestly i get that enough from my mother. He has cancer, but by this time they’re saying it’s untreatable so we’re not sure how long e have left. Don’t feel bad and thank you.” She stated as she felt his hand on hers and she looked up at him for a moment, “I know I will be, eventually.” 

Gideon sat there and listened to Chelsea and was happy to hear she valued their relationship alongside her job which meant she was loyal. “Well that is very nice to hear Chelsea, I mean I do too, a friendship is something I am happy to have with you as well as have you as my assistant. Same goes to you Chelsea.” He smiled briefly looking over at her and nodded, “Oh come on you could be, if you studied for it, you will be able to get a job as a Lawyer if you want it that is. Yes I do, I need to, either way it’ll hurt since the fact that I don’t know what happened and I need to know. Great, we’ll start tomorrow if that’s okay.” 

He sat there as he could see the emotion on the girls face and he didn’t even know what he could do to help her, he knew this was hard on her and he also knew she didn’t want to be treated differently. “Okay I understand, I will do my best to not treat you any differently.   Shit that’s not good. I’m sorry. Look if you need anything, I am here for you.”

Chelsea sat there glancing over at Gideon for a moment before biting her lip for a moment shaking her head, she shook her head, “But it’s terrible, she lost out on an amazing man and she is an idiot. I mean Gideon, you really shouldn’t have been the one to get hurt or even asked for a divorce. Well you know you can always talk to me, you know that, I told you that from the day I met you remember?” She stated glancing over at him with a slight smile fore a moment, “That’s a lowsy excuse, I am really sorry but she doesn’t seem to be telling the full truth, what would a lawyer do if this was their client? They would investigate the real reason as to why she wants a divorce, she just can’t be honest with you. If you don’t want to investigate, get Mike to or I will help Mike or I can possibly do it.”

Chelsea sat there and heard her for a moment before looking at him, “You’re welcome.” She did a little cough before sighing a little, Right that. Okay.. Well these past few days, I haven’t been having time off to do fun thins. My dads sick, he’s in hospital and well that’s where I was. Just thought I’d let you know, we don’ know how long he has left and I might have to take personal days when it comes to it.” She said looking down for a moment. 

Gideon sat there and looked at the girl for a moment as he put a hand through her hair, he knew she was smart and she never really showed it, why she was working as a personal assistant and not a lawyer he would never understand. He smiled, “That’s why I like you as my assistant Chelsea, you just do anything but you also have a caring side to you, not like my last assistant.” He smiled over at her. “I didn’t think of that when I got told that but now you bring it up, I should really investigate this. See now you’re thinking like a lawyer, why aren’t you one again? No, I shouldn’t get mike involved in the Divorce part just the custody, he’ll be able to fight that. How about you help me?” 

Gideon sat there and listened to him, hearing her words, he literally covered his moth as he gasped, “Chelsea, why didn’t you tell me? What’s wrong with him? I’m just so sorry to hear about this. You know you can take all the time you need, I understand. Now I feel bad for always going on about me.” He stated as he stroked the girls hand as she took a seat, “Hey, you’re going to be alright and I am always here for you if you need someone.”

Chelsea liked the fact of trust within the friendship and work relationship with Gideon but sometimes she felt like it shouldn’t be that way but she wasn’t going to question it. As she stood in his office, she could still the frown on his face she hated it, she always saw him as the jolly guy and she hated it when he wasnt, he was a friend as well as her boss. She laughed a little, “I didn’t mean to burst in with them though. Of course I don’t mind listening. I don’t know how helpful I can be but I can try.” Chelsea sat there, she was kind of hoping she wouldn’t have to talk about what she needed to talk about “Yeah that can wait honest.” She stated looking at him for a moment.

Hearing his words she was in shock, the last time she saw him they were going for their anniversary dinner and that was four nights ago and she had no clue this would be what happens now. “Shit. I’m so sorry Gideon. Hey Gideon you’re a lawyer so you can work ways around this you know. Mike will  help you as well and you’re a smart man, you know you can do this.” She stated looking at him from across the room, before waling over to him, “Yo’re a smart man and I believe in you and I know you will gain custody o your daughter. You did nothing wrong. What was her reason for wanting a divorce if you don’t mind me asking?”

She stated looking at him and nodded, “I can definitely do that, I can really make sure that I pick the phone. Anything else you want me to do that could help you?” She asked as she put a hand through her hair as she looked over at him for a moment.

Gideon felt bad for off loading on Chelsea but he needed to talk to someone and she was the one there and the only one he could find himself feeling one hundred percent honest with and trusting. He knew it was a lot to take in and he wouldn’t expect her to know what to do but he was honestly grateful for her to just listen to him as he knew it was a lot. He shook his head for a moment before looking at her again, “Don’t be sorry Chelsea, it’s not really your problem. I just need to talk to someone that’s all. Her reason was I work too much.” He shrugged looking down for a moment. 

He nodded, “Thank you.” He sighed, “Look enough of me talking, what was it that you wanted to talk about?”

Chelsea was given the last few days off by her boss Gideon and she was greatful, she got to visit her ad in the hospital, of course he didn’t know about that and she wasn’t going to burden him with that news because he was a sweet guy who would probably give her more time off. She knew she would have to tell him soon, especially with the fact that her as illness was getting worse and it was crumbling her but she couldn’t let it be shown or known as it might make her boss go soft on her and she didn’t want there. She had a good relationship with her boss and she didn’t need him to go soft on her.

As she returned she sat in her station, she was always about twenty minutes earlier then Gideon to make sure she could get set up before she was left working for the day. As she sat there in her station she saw Gideon walk in and he didn’t seem in the best moods and she didn’t really didn’t know how to deal with it, she actually needed to talk to him but she wasn’t sure if right now was the right time. She heard him call her and she smiled and got up as she walked in to his office. “Gideon, Are you okay? Is there anything I can do?” She stated in a bit of a rush and shook her head, “Sorry, ask me first. Also there is something i need to talk to you about but it can wait.” She stated looking over at the man. 

Gideon was lucky he had a trust in Chelsea his assistant and a friendship unlike his old partner who although did treat his assistant with respect they wee never close enough to discuss personal matters. Right now he was stuck on what to do with his life, his ex wife had forgotten he had perks at being a lawyer and knowing lawyers that he could try and figure out a way he could see his daughter, but it wasn’t the same and he needed to figure out what to do.  He new this was going to be a heavy load to burden on Chelsea, he didn’t think it was fair to just land his problems on her but he needed someone and she was one of the only people she could trust. 

As Chelsea walked into his office he heard questions ,which meant she knew there was something wrong, probably by the way he walked in this morning. “Woah, it’s alright you can ask me the questions. How were your days off? Do mind listening to me talk? I just need to talk about something with someone.” He stated looking at her, “I Know you need to tell me something but can I talk first and then you can tell me afterwards?” He asked. 

After putting a hand through his scruff of his hair, he sighed, “Well my wife, Peggy, she wants a divorce and she’s told me I’m not allowed custody of Shanice, my little girl. I know I’m a Lawyer and I know i can work my way around this even if I go to Mike, my old partner iI know he will help me if I ask bu it’s not the point. I just, things are really not going that well right now and I don’t know how well I am going to handle things, so can I leave you to pick the hone up and let me know who’s calling first before I pick up? I know it’s a lot lot ask considering you already have a lot to do for me.”

@chelsgoldsmith

Two Days ago Gideon was great, he was happy, he was married and he was spending o much time with his four year old daughter. And then his wife decided she wanted a divorce out of the blue and told him he wasn’t allowed custody of his daughter, and he honestly had no idea why. He wanted to find out why but he did’t really care if their relationship went to shit, all he cared about was his daughter Jessica, but it was clearly in his ex wife’s best interest that he could never see his daughter now.

He had come to work the next day trying to take his mind off but now he had made senior partner his work was getting loaded and all he wanted to do was snap at someone but he had to calm down. Walking into his office. he took a seat  at his desk and nearly crumbled but he tried to take a break from his feelings. He needed to talk about it with someone before his meetings started, maybe get some advice. “Chelsea, can I talk you for a moment please. “ He said as he walked back into his office.
