You knew it wasn't the professional option but your heart hurt too much to be professional at the current moment. You shouldn't have carried on walking around the building doing the errands that your boss had for you, but you didn't want to. For the last five years you had worked here, and not once had you acted incorrectly. You had always been a professional PA and done your job to the highest standard. It was about time you did something not to protocol.

Granted you weren't really thinking properly, when you hid in the office. You knew that Mr Stark didn't have any reason to be back in his office for a couple of hours, so it seemed like the most secluded place you could be. He'd allowed you in his office numerous amounts of times, so you could easily make up an excuse as to why you were there. Just the tears that fell caught you by surprise.

You'd tried to be strong and not show you pain, but you had to just break down now. You fell to the ground leaning your back against a cabinet, pulling your knees to your chest and allowing your tears to fall down your face.

To be honest you didn't know why it hurt so much. You always knew your relationship wasn't going to go very far, but when you found out about it all, it just hurt so badly. You knew that after letting all of your tears out you'd be fine with the matter, but it was just getting to the point that the pain stopped.

You didn't know how long you were sat there but you heard a voice outside as the door opened. Quickly you stumbled to your feet and tried to wipe your tears but there wasn't enough time, before your boss walked into his office hanging up the phone.

"There you are Y/N... is something wrong?" he asked looking genuinely concerned.

You tried to wipe away the tears, but sniffled giving him auditory proof that you were crying.

"I'm fine Mr Stark," you whispered, "I apologise for skiving, I'll go back to your lab and finish up the paperwork."

You went to leave the room but he slightly gripped your wrist stopping your from going anywhere.

"Y/N, how long have you worked for me?" he asked.

You stopped turning to him as he walked around taking his seat at his desk.

"Five years sir," you whispered.

"I'd expect that you would have learnt to call me Tony by now," he muttered, "But Y/N, you have worked for me for five years, not once have you missed a day of work, not once have you requested time off. You may have worked for me for a long while, but I barely know you, which is my own fault. But although I don't really know you, I know woman, and I know when a woman is upset. What's made you cry?"

It was the first time you'd heard him be sincere and show actual concern to you.

"It's nothing Tony, honestly, I'm just being over emotional. You know time of the month," you whispered hoping he'd find it too awkward to argue with you.

"Not it's not Y/N, that was last week," he stated.

You furrowed your eyebrows.

"How did you know that?"

He let out a chuckle, "You learn a thing or two about someone you see nearly every day," he smiled, "you only where black or brown trousers when you're on, usually you wear white trousers or skirts. Also you have chocolate on your coffee during that time."

You frowned.

"So what's wrong Y/N?" he asked softy, "I don't like to see you upset."

"Honestly Tony nothing. I broke up with my boyfriend," you shrugged.

"He broke up with you?" he questioned.

"No I broke up with him."

"Then why are you upset?" he asked softly.

"I only broke up with him because I caught him in bed with another woman. He'd been cheating on me, the whole way through our relationship," you whispered trying to hold in your tears.

He tried to give you a reassuring smile, before he stood up and walked over to you. He stood in front of you using his thumb to wipe away the tears from your eyes. Once he had done so he pulled you into a hug, not saying a word. You were surprised by that side of him, but it was surprisingly comforting to get a hug from him.
