Disclaimer: Don't own Suits.

Pacing around Harvey's office, Mike thought long and hard about what he was going to tell Harvey. It would have been ideal if they were informed of this lawsuit from the beginning to avoid any surprises. What Mike was confused about was how could Lilly keep something like this from them? It just did not make any sense and Mike needed to figure this out for the sake of the firm and for the sake of Lilly's company. He finally fully understood why getting information from clients even from a few years back mattered.

"I have to hand it to you Harvey, you really know how to charm people. This was definitely the correct profession for you." Lilly complimented as she waved at Donna and walked into Harvey's office.

Harvey stopped by Donna's desk to hand her something. "I know and I am very proud of me too." He said as he watched Lilly from Donna's desk. Lilly glanced over her shoulder and simply shook her head with a smile gracing her lips.

Mike stood from the black leather couch and cleared his throat. Lilly turned the other way and was slightly surprised to see Mike. "Oh, Mike I am sorry I didn't see you there! How are you?"

No matter if she had kept this lawsuit from him and Harvey, Mike couldn't help but smile at seeing Lilly. She looked impeccable as always in a J-Crew beige jumpsuit and black suede Jimmy Choo stilettos, her long brown hair was loose but tamed as a simple black headband adorned her hair. Her red lipstick gave the outfit a small burst of color and she was able to pull off the color flawlessly. Mike wondered if Lilly was always this stylish even back in her and Harvey's Harvard days.

If he had to bet, She probably was and Lilly was probably the woman who influenced Harvey in impeccable style.

"Hey Lilly, I'm great. You know just working for the master." Mike remarked as Harvey came into the office directly going to his desk.

"In that case the master wants to know why the Sterling briefs are not on my desk." Harvey set his brief case down and opened it up. Lilly watched amusingly as poor Mike seemed to have no real plausible excuse as to why those briefs were not on Harvey's desk.

"Harvey, knowing that Mike is your associate, I am pretty sure he has them done." Lilly stepped in. She glanced between the two men as they looked at her curiously. Harvey knew she was right and Mike now had to prove her theory correct. He grabbed the briefs from the glass table before him and placed them on Harvey's desk. "See, never doubt him." Lilly set her vintage Chanel bag down on one of the chairs and proceeded to browse through Harvey's immense shelf of records.

Mike's smile was smug. "Lilly would you say I am just like Harvey?"

Harvey looked at Mike with a 'are you kidding me' expression on his handsome face. "Didn't we go over this before?"

Lilly continued to look through the records. "No one will ever be another Harvey." She placed the record back and turned to face them. Harvey smiled at the fact that she agreed with him. He knew she would always take his side. "However, that doesn't mean you can't come close to be like him." Mike let out a laugh that she had somewhat agreed with him. Harvey's smile fell and he rolled his eyes at Mike.

"Please don't encourage him." Harvey said as he looked back at his laptop screen.

Lilly moved away from the shelf and strutted over to Harvey's desk. "Jealous?"

"Really? We are talking about Mike here." Harvey stopped typing and looked directly into her eyes.

Mike felt awkward as they began to slightly argue about him. "Guys, I am completely flattered that you are talking about me, but I am right here."

Both Lilly and Harvey turned to face Mike. Clearly, Mike had interrupted them and they were not too happy about that. However, before Mike could utter another word, they both started to laugh. Mike was completely confused and had no idea why these two were laughing. He found no amusement in it.

Lilly placed a hand over her chest and tried to clam her small fit of laughter. "I'm sorry Mike, I am quite sure you get teased enough. Sorry."

Mike only nodded and plopped down on one of the chairs in front of Harvey's desk. "Its okay and thanks because you are the only one who apologizes for it."

"Alright, Mike stop whining and remind me to put you two in a separate room next time." Harvey said as he glanced between Lilly and Mike. "And I know you are not here just to hand me briefs." Harvey leaned back on his chair and nodded toward them.

Mike shook his head." No, I need to talk to you both actually." Lilly noticed Mike's serious tone and sat down on the chair next to him. "I was going through some things about Crimson and I found an old lawsuit that was filed against you for the skin defining foundation you brought out two years ago." Mike handed Harvey the file of the research he had complied.

Lilly remained quiet in her chair as she watched Harvey go through the file. Mike felt a little bad for dragging this out, but it had to be done in case Emma Celeste backed out of their deal and would bring this out and use it against Lilly. Harvey closed the file and tossed it onto his desk. "Lilly and I discussed this last night and it is an issue that has been resolved."

Lilly stared at Harvey, who nodded in her direction so she could explain the issue to his associate. Lilly sighed and positioned herself to face Mike. "I know this must have seemed shady of me not to tell you guys sooner because well, yes it looks terrible. However, the woman who filed the lawsuit was hired by a rival company of mine named Sapphire Cosmetics. They had wanted to do a merger with me but I refused because my accountants discovered they had done shady deals in the past and my cosmetic development team found out they secretly tested on animals in a facility somewhere in Germany." Lilly carefully explained this to Mike like she had done so to Harvey. Mike listened intently as did Harvey, even though he had already heard about this. He just wanted make sure his associate understood what was going on and that the issue was already resolved. Harvey would never explicitly show it but he was very appreciative of the fact that Mike had found this and looked into it thoroughly. "They didn't like that one bit because they had even tried doing a merger back when my grandmother was alive but she also refused. Needless to say they tried to extort me and I figured it out. I made a deal that I wouldn't drag this to court and they had to accept my generous offer because they simply had no other choice."

Mike slowly nodded. Well that explained why it had taken him a while to find a sufficient amount of evidence to present to Harvey. "Oh, now that makes sense. It took me while to gather information about this."

"I am sure it did and anyway it doesn't matter because that company is no more." Harvey chimed in as he closed his laptop.

"Right and we have nothing to worry about?" Mike looked at Lilly.

"No." She shook her head.

Mike sighed in relief and realized he had stayed up all night trying to figure out this issue that had crept up. "How come this is still out there?" He pointed to the file that held the lawsuit.

"Because it was an unresolved issue and it was just tossed aside. No one was going to look into it unless they wanted to Mike." Harvey replied.

"Exactly and this didn't happen here. This happened in London and no company here would care for a frivolous fake lawsuit brought by a company that had a bad reputation and wanted to bring down one with a flawless one. It just did not make any sense." Lilly added trying to reassure Mike that it was all okay and there was nothing to worry about.

"What happened to the product?" Mike just had a couple more questions to make sure nothing would come back and attack them.

"There was nothing wrong with the product, but we decided to pull it because we thought that it would be better to develop a product that would actually help and improve the skin instead of just hiding it with plain old foundation." Lilly spoke with confidence about her company's product and Mike was happy that she was answering his questions honestly.

Before Mike had chance to ask another question, a loud ring came from Lilly's purse. "Excuse me." She stood up and went to retrieve her purse and phone. Both men watched as she looked at the screen on her phone. Sighing, Lilly realized she needed to take this call. "Sorry, I will be right back." They both nodded in understanding and watched as she left the office to take her phone call.

Mike looked out the glass windows to make sure she was completely out of sight. "You discussed this last night with her?"

Harvey looked up from the briefs. "Okay first of all, she is my client and I needed to take some contracts for her to sign. Second, she is an old friend of mine and that is it. And, third it is none of your concern."

It was Mike's turn to roll his eyes. "Alright, whatever you say. Just remember that being involved with a client is a violation of ethics."

Harvey was slowly growing annoyed. "Don't you think I know that?"

Mike stood up from his chair. "Yeah, but the way you look at her begs to differ."

"What? Is it just the way you look at Rachel Zane?" Harvey turned it on Mike.

"Actually, yeah and if not even more." Mike scurried out of Harvey's office before he would get something thrown at him.

Harvey sat back and ran his hand across his face. Through the cracks of his fingers he saw Donna looking at him slowly nodding. He knew they were right and it was only a matter of time when others would see it too.

Yoga class was something that Lilly looked forward to every Thursday night. It was an incredible stress reliever and for a moment she had a couple of minutes to actually sit down and think, even if her body was contorted in a weird position on a yoga mat. The day had moved too slow for her taste after she had left Pearson Hardman that mid-afternoon. She had another meeting across town and that was why she had to leave early and not meet with Jessica. Lilly made a mental note to send her an apology bouquet tomorrow morning.

Her biggest stress was not the company or the endless meetings. It was the fact that she was putting on a small façade with Harvey. That morning while they rode together in the car to Pearson Hardman, he had no idea she was silently crying. She could not take that memory of the first time they had gone out of her head. If she only had seen everything early on. Another thing she had realized was that losing him wasn't entirely her fault, he also had some faults much like herself. However, she was just too scared to ask him or even mention something like this to him. Lilly still had this nagging inkling that it was entirely her fault. Like her grandmother always said to her, "Don't blame love. Love is just an emotion to guide you to what you want. It cannot help itself."

"Okay, great job tonight ladies. See you next Thursday!" The yoga instructor bid them goodnight and everyone proceeded to roll up their mats and collect their belongings. "And remember class, the body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in."

Lilly gathered her things as she waited for people to leave. It was always hectic when getting out of the class and in order to avoid clumsy accidents she decided to take her time.

"Shit." Lilly turned around to see the woman that was behind her during class was furiously rummaging through her purse. The woman was very pretty and she looked incredibly familiar to Lilly.

"Are you okay?" Lilly asked curiously as she rolled up her own mat.

"Yeah, I am fine. I just can't find my keys." The woman replied not looking up at Lilly as she continued her search for her keys.

Just as Lilly had removed her mat from the floor she discovered a set of keys. "Are these it?" Lilly held them up to her.

The woman was completely relieved. "Yes thank you!" Lilly gave them to her and she took them gratefully.

Lilly continued to stare at her. "You look familiar and I feel like I just saw you recently. Do you work at Pearson Hardman?"

The woman nodded with a small smile on her lips. "Yes, I am Rachel Zane one of the paralegals."

"Oh, that is right, I think I saw you with Mike, Harvey's associate." Lilly offered her hand to Rachel. "I am-"

"Lilly Barrett owner of Crimson Beauty Cosmetics." Rachel shook her hand and leaned in closer. "I use your products."

Lilly smirked. "I could tell you have a really nice complexion." She was only teasing, Lilly was never one for being the cocky type business woman but she had a feeling Rachel would understand her jest.

"Really, I use the skin defining lotion." Rachel replied truthfully. "Actually, Mike had asked me about your products because I had mentioned I used them."

"Well, I am flattered and glad that it is working out for you." Lilly and Rachel began to walk out of the class together. "You have no idea how much it means to me. My grandmother actually developed the formula for it and I finally decided to give it a try. It was one of her hidden formulas that she hadn't used."

Rachel smiled. "Your grandmother was clearly an expert on women's skin."

"She was and simple reminders of her like this let me know that I did the right thing of taking up the company, even though I was ready to start my career as a lawyer." Lilly by no means had any regrets and she was content with her career choice right now, even though she still wondered what would have happened if she did become a lawyer like she had planned.

"Wow, that certainly must have been a hard decision for you to make. I don't know what I would have done, which why I am still a paralegal." Rachel still felt resentment and not being able to have the courage of taking the bar when Mike had suggested her to. But after she found out about him, she just felt so upset that she knew it would affect her when she was going to take the test.

"I can guarantee you are incredibly good at your job. Soon enough you will be able to fulfill what you want." Lilly reassured her. It felt really strange, but she felt like she hadn't had any woman around her to talk to. She was always so busy with everything and had hardly anytime for friends. Also it did not help that most of them were in London.

"Thanks. Not even my parents have reassured me like you have and I just met you." Rachel admitted. It felt really nice talking to Lilly, especially because she was a woman who understood. For once it wasn't Mike. Not that Mike bothered her too much, but a woman always had to have another woman to talk to.

"Your welcome." Lilly wrapped her black sweater tighter around herself as she hailed a cab.

Rachel was able to manage to hail cab first. "You want to share a ride and maybe grab some coffee?"

Lilly blushed embarrassed that she was still not able to get the hang of hailing a cab. "That would be nice." Lilly gave up and followed Rachel into the cab. "I could never for the life of me learn how to hail a cab properly here."

Rachel laughed. "Its okay in time you will."

The soulful sounds of Charles Bradley's voice emitted from Harvey's record player as he continued to work into the late evening. The entire day he kept thinking about what Mike had said to him when he left his office that morning. It couldn't be true. Harvey wasn't one for emotion and the fact that Mike had bluntly stated that the way Harvey looked at Lilly was just like the way Mike looked at Rachel kind of irritated him. Mike looked at Rachel like a love sick puppy looking to get her attention. There was no way in hell Harvey believed it was similar to that.

However, he secretly admitted that seeing her again had done something to him. Any man in their right mind would be attracted to Lilly and that was one of the few times he put himself in a category along with any other man. Sadly, that was his only defense at the moment.

"How is it going with Lilly?" Jessica stepped into his office with her purse in hand ready to go home. She just wanted to do one more check in on Harvey and see how he was doing with one of the firm's biggest clients.

"Great, we got her the deal she wanted." Harvey closed the brief he was looking over and tossed it on the table.

"That's what I like to hear." Jessica walked closer to his desk and set her bag on the chair. "Is there anything I should know?"

Harvey leaned back and gave her a bewildered look. "No, I don't think so."

"I hope you realize that people talk Harvey and when its about you and your client it is not a good thing." Jessica had overheard Mike and Donna earlier in the afternoon talking about Lilly and Harvey.

"Is Louis still bitching about you giving me Lilly?" Harvey had an idea Jessica would come to him about this matter, but he didn't think it would be soon. Honestly, he really didn't want to deal with it at the moment.

Jessica gave Harvey a disapproving look. "Louis hasn't said anything, but at the rate people are talking you and I will be hearing from him soon."

"Jessica, I know what I'm doing and you knew clearly well she and I are old friends."

"I did. However, you know that being involved with a client is not very ideal."

Harvey scoffed. Was he wearing a big sign saying that he was sleeping with her or something? Because he certainly wasn't. "For the record I am not nowhere near involved with Lilly and I also recall you taking on your ex-husband as a client." Harvey threw that out there with no regret.

"Quentin was my ex-husband and there was no chance of us ever getting back together." Jessica looked directly into Harvey's eyes. "I don't know what happened between you two at Harvard, but I could tell that she never got over you. And from what I see in you, you haven't either, even if you don't see it right now or even wish to admit it."
