*Kind of has a spoiler from Break Point if you didn't see it so... READ AND REVIEW.
Harvey Specter was not an emotional man. He was not sentimental, he wasn't compassionate, and he wasn't in any way comfortable with letting himself express the emotions he did possess.
Losing Donna had to be the worst thing that could've happened to him right now. She was what kept him going when nothing else would. And right now? He was slipping, and Donna wasn't there to catch him.
Harvey was sitting in his office, staring out his window. He knew he should be getting some work done if he was going to stay late at the office but he couldn't.
A sharp knock came on the door.
"Harvey?"
Harvey turned his head. Daniel Hardman. Prick. What did this asshole want now?
Hardman took Harvey's curt nod as his cue to come in.
"Harvey, I know it must be difficult to get things back in order again after losing your secretary. But this does open up an opportunity to hire a new-"
"Are you a fucking moron?"
Hardman looked taken aback. Surprise couldn't even begin to describe the expression on his face.
For God's sakes, he honestly thinks I'm pissed off that I have to get a new secretary?
"Excuse me?" Hardman said weakly.
Harvey stood up from his desk, pushing in his chair violently.
"You really think I'm upset because I have to find a new secretary?"
Hardman shifted, opening his mouth to speak but closing it again finding he was lost for words.
"Let me tell you something. When I first hired Donna, it wasn't because I needed a secretary. Jessica said I had to hire somebody and Donna was the best one for the job." Harvey circled around his desk to face Hardman directly, "But I didn't keep her around just because she was good at- GREAT at what she did."
Tears came to Harvey's eyes but the fury never left them.
"She was my best friend."
"I didn't- I-" Hardman stammered.
"Get the hell out of my office. And don't you dare say one more goddamn thing about Donna Paulsen. She was the center of my fucking world, the only thing stable in my life was her!"
Hardman hesitated and then hurried out into the hallway without another word.
Harvey sat back down at his desk. He gripped his neat, slicked back hair with his fingers and bowed his head. All he could think was, how am I gonna do this without her?
