Chapter 5
One week later…
"Donna…. So I was thinking maybe if you want…you know…we could like grab dinner and drinks… all on me"
"That's sweet Louis… but no"
"Donna… I feel like you know since you and Harvey are… over. Maybe we could… have that kind of friendship… you could tap into my meetings if you want"
"Louis, me and Harvey were never together and you will not be taking his place..."
As Donna got up, she felt a bit dizzy. Holding on to her cubicle she steadied herself. As Louis tried to help Donna, his face was filled with concern.
"Woah Donna…are you okay?"
"Of course I am…"
As Donna walked away, she could not help but turn around to give a smirk to Louis.
"By the way Louis, who says I don't already listen in?"
As Donna walked, she walked into the copy room and was surprised as she entered with a smile, which quickly vanished as she saw Harvey struggling with the copier. They had been avoiding each other this entire week, but
"It tends to do that… you just have to give it a little tap. Here I'll help you."
"I don't need your help. I could do this on my own."
As Harvey slammed the copier, Donna couldn't help but smile. Everyone knew Harvey had fired over five secretaries in the past week ever since Donna left, and to see Harvey Spector on a Monday morning trying to work a copier, Donna could not help but grin. As she walked over to make the copier work, she stood by Harvey as he took a step back away from her. Donna merely reopened and tapped the copier and ended the procedure with a quick bump from her hip. Before you knew it the copier began to work.
Harvey watched on as she fixed the copier… only Donna could make something that Harvey had been working on for the past ten-minute look so easy and solve it within a minute. She always knew what to do. Harvey caught himself smiling as the copier printed out the documents he needed, but then he stopped himself remembering her betrayal and words.
"So how is the new secretary going?"
"He's fine… knows how to do his job without getting too involved in my personal matters"
It was a lie, the new secretary Jon or Joe, whatever his name was horrible. He was trying to be friends with him and it was annoying. He was worse than mike and kept following him around like a little puppy. In fact, he was thinking about firing the new secretary today, but now annoyed with his lie he could not.
"That's great"
It was funny to Donna, how Harvey thought he could lie so easily. After all she was Donna, she knew everything and she found Jake to be annoying during the five minute she spent in the elevator with him, she could only imagine how annoyed Harvey must have been.
"It is. My copies are done. The copier is all yours. I won't be in your way at all."
Donna knew that was true and it was a truth that she was not happy about, but learned to live with it. As Donna moved aside giving way for Harvey, she felt as if she was about to pass out. With her hand on her head and her papers about to slip from her fingers, Harvey caught her.
"Donna! Hey are you okay? Donna."
As Donna held her head, she shook her head to get rid of the nauseous feeling she had.
"I'm fine."
"Donna, you almost passed out. You are not fine! We need to get you to a doctor or something."
"No! I'm fine Harvey; I am just super tired that's all. You do not have to worry about me."
As Donna pushed away at his hands that still held her up, she took a step back and took a deep breath.
Her one push away, caused Harvey's heart to break. He felt like he was feeling nauseous himself.
"Whatever you say Donna."
As Harvey left steaming, he slammed the door shut behind him.
Donna merely took a seat on a chair near by. She held her hand to her stomach and knew that she was already having pregnancy symptoms even though she was only two months in. Donna knew that in a few more weeks, she would start to show. She needed to plan out what she needed to do next for herself and her baby.
Meanwhile in the hallway…
Harvey cornered Louis in the hallway and looked him down, as he was ready to rip off his head.
"Ok, Listen Louis. I just ran into Donna who was about to pass out in the copier room because she was so worked out. So you know what you're going to do… you're going to give Donna the day off and cut her some slack… or you will see the worst of Harvey Spector if anything happens to Donna."
As Harvey stormed off, he caught glimpse of Scottie and knew that she would not understand.
In Harvey's office…
"What was that?"
"What was what Scottie?"
"What I saw outside Harvey. Why are you so worried about Donna after everything she has said to you and done to you."
"Scottie stay out of it!"
"No Harvey I wont. She has left and at the same time, I feel as if she is even more here, and between us than ever. Harvey, don't you understand, she does not care about you, and she is so ungrateful that as soon as she saw the opportunity she left you without even caring for your friendship"
"THAT'S ENOUGH! I do not want to hear a single word against Donna! And if you cannot deal with that then leave!"
Scottie merely looked at Harvey and waited.
"Harvey, I know you are upset, but I love you and the thought of losing you is too strong."
"I get that Scottie, but don't bring Donna into this."
"I wont. .I promise… I'm sorry. However, you have to give us a chance and let her live her life."
Mike's cubicle…
As he worked on his computer reviewing the new case, Mike could not help thinking about Harvey and Donna. They both were at such odds, dodging each other in the office and refusing to not even talk about the other. There was something wrong, but he had no idea. There was something going on with Donna, yet she refused to talk.
As he was lost in his thoughts, the phone rang.
Mike answered the phone and was in shock on what he had just heard. Slamming the phone down, he ran towards Harvey's office.
"Harvey!"
Out of breath, Mike looked as Harvey and Scottie stood facing the window and turned as soon as they heard Mike.
"He's back."
Meanwhile in the hallway…
As Donna walked towards the elevators, hoping to get a peaceful lunch break alone in the park. Yet, it seemed like there were other things stored for Donna. She was near the elevator when the doors to elevators opened up and he stepped out.
Donna stopped in her tracks and looked up speechless.
"Donna. How are you?"
"Stephen…."
