Short, So I am giving you 2 today!
"Good morning Harvey" Jessica said "all set for tonight?" she asked
"I'm good" he said smugly, he had an ace in the hole
"Good Harvey listen, there's something I want to talk to you about" she looked serious
"What is it?" he asked
"It's about Donna" she said
"Donna?" he wandered where this was going "What about her?"
"I fired Donna, because I had to do what was best for the firm and I had all the eyes of the partners on me" she explained
"I know. It took me a while to understand, but she messed up, you did what needed to be done" he said
"No Harvey, I fired her but I knew Donna, I knew what an asset she had been to this firm, I knew what an asset she had been to you" she continued
"Ok?" Harvey questioned her confused
"You had faith in her Harvey and I have faith in you, this made me question Donna's actions" she said "So I hired a P.I and didn't tell a soul about it"
"You hired a P.I?" Harvey asked
"I sure as hell did and Harvey…Donna, didn't do this" she said
Harvey heard her but he felt like the ceiling was going to come crashing in on him
"What. Do . You. Mean?" he asked a bit angry
"There is no concrete proof yet, but my source did find a link between Tanner and Hardman" she continued
"It is my belief that Hardman planted this memo when he came back to the firm" she said
"So you think Donna is innocent?" he asked trying to make sense of this all
"I do, I can't prove it yet, but Harvey I want you to see if she would reconsider coming back" she said
"I believe that Hardman knew with Donna by your side there was no way you were going to turn on me. Maybe if I fired her that would give you reason enough to side with him, he knew he couldn't conquer us if we were standing tall together" She said
He couldn't even believe this. He couldn't believe he doubted her when over and over she kept saying she didn't remembering seeing the memo. He couldn't believe the humiliation she had to endure the last few months over something she didn't even do. He couldn't believe he let Jessica fire her.
Harvey started to walk to the door to his office
"Paul get a hold of Donna for me, like yesterday" he said sternly to let him know he needed to talk to her now
"Disregard that Paul" said Jessica sternly
"Harvey you need to do this face to face" Jessica said almost belittling him for not knowing better
"Tonight, she will be at the fundraiser" she finished
"What, how do you know?" He asked while thinking 'why didn't she tell me she was going'
"I know because she is already considered an asset at Harry and Marshall and they would be idiots not to parade her around and show her off" she said slyly
"So, tonight, I need you to ask her what it would take for her to come back here" Jessica pressed "In the meantime I'm having my guy search for better evidence to connect the Hardman to the planted memo" Jessica added "I can't make this happen until I find the proof but I am looking and I do want her back"
Harvey just nodded and as Jessica walked out "Harvey, I am sorry that I ever doubted Donna's loyalty or actions"
"You should tell her that, not me" he was a bit annoyed. In fact he was annoyed.
