It's Gonna Be Great!
"You should be rehearsing your jokes." Olivia said to Fitz. "Why are you calling me?"
"I miss you. Are you coming tonight?"
"No." Olivia said.
"No?" Fitz asked in disbelief. "Don't do this, Liv."
"Sorry, Fitz but I don't think it's a good idea for me to show up alone."
"Bring your 'boyfriend' with you then," Fitz countered. He was one of a handful of people who knew that Jake was out of the country thus couldn't accompany Olivia. He was just trying to get Olivia to debunk the 'boyfriend' title that Jake had assumed as of late.
"Fitz, you'll be great at the dinner. Just be with Mellie and support her. I don't have to be at every one of these affairs."
"Bye, Liv. Thanks for always helping me with my jokes. I don't know what I would do without you" Olivia gave a smirk, hung up and turned on her computer.
She had been keeping a great distance from the White House to focus on herself. Mellie's miscarriage helped her make that decision. She had not seen Fitz since she helped out with Karen over three weeks ago when Mellie chased her from the premises.
The truth was that Olivia had grown tired of the drama with Mellie. She was also very sympathetic towards Mellie who was suffering from deep depression over the loss of her child. Fitz needed to be with his wife mentally and physically and Olivia was determined to make sure that happened.
Olivia walked over to her safe to retrieve a file ad noticed Huck moving about in his office.
"What are you doing here on a Saturday, Huck?"
"Liv, I just wanted to finish up on the Lassiter thing. I picked up something on the scanner and just wanted to do some updates in the system. Just some numbers and codes I have to figure out."
"Ok, Huck, let me know if anything interesting happens"
Olivia thanked her lucky stars for such dedicated associates as she walked back to her office and worked way into the night.
