Chapter 63 Bad Day Remedy

• He did not remember ever seeing her as visibly upset as she was this morning. He had been her boss now for only a short time, but he had worked with her before. He tried not to make a spectacle of her mood, and made small talk, joking around as normal. He finally brought it up, and asked if everything was ok. She explained how some bad situations were going on in her life, and just the stresses were all catching up with her. He knew all too well how that could be. He wanted to fix all of her problems, but knew he couldn't. So, instinct took over, and without thinking he reached for her, and just pulled her close to offer a hug.
• Apparently that was all it took. She broke down, sobbing onto his shoulder. He just held her, and stroked her hair. Oddly enough, he didn't feel awkward or anything. He really cared for her, she was his friend. Finally, she seemed to be calming down. She pulled away, and wiping her eyes, tried to apologize.
• "I am sorry sir. This was really inappropriate. I don't need to be bringing my problems to work with me. I won't let it happen again sir."
