Julianne follows Louis into Jessica's office. Unsure of what to say, or do, Julianne just stands by the couch. Louis, on the other hand, plops down on the couch and makes himself comfortable.
Jessica shuts the door and starts right in with them.
"Do you mind explaining to me what the hell that was out there?"
Louis sit back, crosses his legs, and a smirk creeps across his face, all the while, remaining smug.
"Jessica, I am so sorry," Julianne starts off, "look, that was extremely unprofessional and I am positive it will never happen again."
Jessica is unpleased with the response she just heard.
"Louis, would you like to shed some light on this, please?"
Louis stares at Jessica; Julianne can tell he is doing this for dramatic effect, classic Louis.
"Sure. I can tell you." Louis stands up and buttons his suit jacket.
"What you witnessed Jessica was a blatant disrespect for a superior."
Julianne rolls her eyes, "With all due respect, the respect should go both ways. He doesn't show an ounce of it to me. I went off on him, yes, but it wasn't just me," Julianne pleas.
"Why were there comparisons between Louis and Harvey being shouted? What's the connection?"
Julianne remains silent. Louis still looks smug.
"Fine, you won't talk? I'll bring Harvey in."
If this was supposed to make Julianne nervous or uncomfortable even, it wasn't working. She began feeling a sense of relief knowing Harvey would soon be in the room with her.
"Harvey, come to my office." Jessica orders. Within two minutes Harvey is walking through the door.
"What do you need Jessica?"
"I was hoping you could help me get to the bottom of this. Since, after all, your name was thrown around."
Harvey walks towards Julianne. He stops right in front of her. Looking at her straight on, he begins to smile.
"I'm glad you finally stuck up for yourself, but fill Jessica in on what's been happening. You need to tell her now. Or else, Louis wins. You cannot let that happen."
Louis is started to feel less smug.
Julianne moves out from behind Harvey and walks towards Jessica.
"Jessica, I am, again, sorry. It was blown way out of proportion. Ever since Harvey made our relationship common knowledge among the other associates, Louis has been making rude comments to me; inappropriate even."
Jessica glares over at Louis, not liking what she's just heard. "Is this true, Louis?"
Louis is flabbergasted, "Uh, no. Not exactly." He couldn't believe Julianne said anything. If that damn Harvey Specter wasn't in the office, she would have kept her mouth shut.
"Then please, tell us what happened."
Louis remains quiet.
"Jessica, if I may." Harvey interjects, breaking the silence that has filled the office, Jessica nods in recognition. Harvey continues, "This situation is ugly. Louis has made it this way, Julianne only defended herself. Yes, it could have been handled differently but I can assure you she wouldn't have acted this way unless provoked."
"Julianne, I only heard your statements in the hallway, what exactly provoked those? What did Louis say to you, if anything?"
Julianne turns and looks at Louis, then back at Jessica. "He told me that Harvey is going to dump me when he's through and that I am only seen as a piece of ass. It… it just made me so angry. He has made numerous comments about my relationship and he has no clue what goes on with us. I tried walking away so I wouldn't say anything stupid. The minute I got into the hallway he started yelling. I snapped."
Jessica is stunned.
"Louis. Is this true? Are you saying these horrendous things to Julianne?"
"Jessica. I told her the truth. Harvey is a womanizer, she should know."
"Hey!" Harvey shouts.
"Harvey be quiet," Jessica expresses. "Look, Louis we will talk about this. Julianne, I am sorry for all this. Please, take your vacation a little early and go home. Come back refreshed. I will call you in a few days."
Juli nods and mouths thank you, and heads to the door.
"And Harvey," Jessica keeps on, "take her home. See to it she's okay."
Harvey catches up to Julianne and wraps his left arm around her waist and guides her to the elevator.
"What a fucking day!" Julianne says collapsing onto her sofa.
Harvey lifts up Julianne's feet and sits underneath them. "You're telling me. I can't believe you said all that to Louis In the hall. In front of everyone."
"Ugh. Do you think I'll lose my job?"
"Of course not," Harvey says trying to console her.
"Well, I'm officially on vacation. I am stoked. I am just going to put work, mainly Louis, behind me."
"I don't remember the last time I took a vacation."
"Really?" Julianne says shocked, but then she thinks about it for a second. Why would Harvey ever take a vacation? He works too damn hard. "You should seriously take one. Sometime."
"Maybe. If I had a good enough reason."
Hesitating, Julianne sits up and stares at Harvey with a suspicious look on her face.
"What?" Harvey asks, knowing full well what she's going to say.
"Take a vacation. In April. With me."
Harvey is stunned, "Really?"
"Yeah. I mean, if you want to."
"Of course, but why April?"
"That's when Carrie and Kyle's wedding is. I could use a date!"
The irresistible grin of Harvey's comes across his face. "Sounds good, I'm in."
He leans in to kiss her, pushing back her hair he asks, "So, this means I get to meet the family. All at once."
"Is the fierce Harvey Specter scared?"
"I told you, I am not. It'll be…fun."
"Right. You're invincible. I forgot." Julianne laughs.
"Hey. Watch it!" Harvey says, laughing and picking Julianne up off the couch. She lets out a playful scream.
"What. Are. You. Doing?"
Harvey carries her to the bedroom.
"Harrr-vey!" Julianne says in protest, "we can't."
"I won't be with you for four days because Carrie will be taking my spot in your bed."
Juli gently kisses Harvey on his soft lips, resting her forehead on his, "I know. I'm sorry. I'll still see you. Just not in that capacity. But I can't do this now. I have to leave in an hour to pick Carrie up. And you don't know the meaning of a quickie."
Laughing, "It's not my style."
"And for that, I am thankful."
Arriving at the airport, Julianne steps out of the car. She wanted to take a cab, but Harvey insisted his driver take her. Actually, his driver was the compromise. Harvey originally wanted to drive her himself, but she insisted he'd go back to work.
Walking through the doors to the airport, Julianne wraps up her text to Harvey.
Made is here safely. See you later on tonight.
After it sent, her phone buzzed. Carrie's plane landed.
Hey! I made it, finally. Meet me where the terminal lets out!
Julianne starts thanking her lucky stars, she doesn't have to wait forever, she spots Carrie.
Carrie is very petite. Standing only at five foot two and probably doesn't even weigh 110 pounds soaking wet. She remains the only person Julianne knows that can pull off the pixie haircut and bleach blonde hair.
"Annie!" Carrie yells.
The only thing that Julianne can seem to say is, "Could you be any more of a Californian? It's December. In New York."
Carrie and Julianne just laugh while hugging.
"What's wrong with what I'm wearing?"
Carrie stands there in a white Hollister sweater, black leggings, and gold sandals.
"Nothing, really. I love it. But you'll freeze your ass off here."
"I'm sorry I'm not winter chic like you."
Julianne takes a moment to examine what she's wearing. It's dramatically different than from what Carrie has on. She towers over Carrie in her red, five inch, Christian Louboutin pumps accompanied by her red Gucci dress and black tights that remains hidden under her black knee length pea coat. Julianne has always been into fashion, since moving to New York her obsession has only gotten worse.
"Thanks, but honestly, I can't wait to change into some pajamas! Shall we grab your bags and head to my place?"
"Definitely!"
Bags in hand, they head to the passenger loading zone.
"Are we grabbing a taxi?"
"No, Harvey sent his driver with me."
Carrie drops her jaw, "Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"My goodness! I am… amazed. He has his own driver?"
Laughing Julianne begins to speak, "Yeah. He has cars, too. But he has a driver. Anyway, I hope you don't mind Harvey is going to stop by after he's off work tonight. He wants to meet you."
"Of course not, I am excited. I have read many great things about him. I googled him after you mother told me."
Julianne just shakes her head.
