Chapter 11
Set a few days after Harvey and Olivia's weekend together
"Museum of Natural History Gala no thanks" Harvey said looking at the invitation, Jessica then enters his office showing him page 6 of the NY post.
Harvey saw a picture of him, Olivia, Jay-Z and Beyonce at the Victoria's secret after party. "Damn paparazzi" he replied simply.
"I would scold you in leaving with a client's employee days after we close the case but, Beyonce's apparel company called and they want us to be part of a new licensing deal for House of Deron. She thought it was cool you and Olivia knew each other" Jessica said, Harvey looked at her surprised.
"It worked out" Harvey said.
"You'll work this one with Louis, and yes we are all going to that gala tonight, have your tux delivered" Jessica said smiling.
Harvey shook his head as Luis entered, "You're girlfriend scored us a great deal, how is the model/blogger/pr girl doing" Louis said.
"If you are referring to Olivia Walsh she would probably said to kiss her ass" Harvey said, as Donna let our a chuckle overhearing.
"See you in 20" Louis said.
"Dick" Harvey said seeing an email pop up "New post from Spoon and Thread" he smiled.
"Hello! I am back from LA, shooting for Elle Japan and coordinating two LA fashion week shows has been exhausting. I traveled light as I am writing this heading to the office after getting two hours of sleep. The maxi dress is the uniform in LA, I kept it true to my NYC roots by sporting a leather vest custom made from the cast. LA was fun but it is great to be back in cold NYC just in time for Thanksgiving. Till next time!" Harvey started to read seeing pictures of Olivia he smiled.
"She looks great with a tan" Donna said entering his office closing the door.
"Who does" Harvey said.
"Cull the bs I know you and the past few days you have been perky" Donna said.
"Perky is a female trait" Harvey said.
"It's great you are seeing wait that freaks you out. You are dealing with someone at the moment" Donna said.
"I rather not have it get out in the office" Harvey said.
"Then don't be perky, and remember Ross knows you too, he knows" Donna said smiling.
Harvey looked at his phone, "Welcome back" he typed.
"Thanks" Olivia typed back.
"How was LA really?" Harvey typed.
"Gross, I couldn't only be there days at a time" Olivia typed she chuckled.
"You kept your blog post very PC, you looked great" Harvey typed.
"Busy at work, how was that case" Olivia typed.
Harvey started to read it as Louis knocked on his door. "Don't knock" Harvey said getting up.
Olivia looked at her phone, guess he's busy. Bree enters her office, "Hair & Make Up is coming in 20 minutes" she said.
"The never ending day" Olivia said looking at the Neiman Marcus garment bag hanging up.
"Katherine can we send an intern out to get coffee" she groaned.
