A small transitional chapter. Thank you all for reading and the followings.
CHAPTER 3
"Donna call Ray!"
"Already done! He'll be here in 10."
"Cancel…"
"All your evening appointments. I also shifted your tomorrow morning ones. You are free till noon."
"Thanks."
"Just… Get him back."
Harvey picked up his briefcase but paused before turning away. "You knew didn't you? What he did?"
"I'm Donna, I know everything."
"You should have told me."
"Like you would have listened. Besides, Mike felt that you should hear it from him. That if you cared about him enough you would listen and not shoot first and ask questions later."
Harvey sighed and leaned against the redhead's desk cradling his head between his arms. "You weren't there… What I said to him… I don't even know where to begin to fix it."
"An apology wouldn't hurt for starters."
"You didn't see him. He was holding on to me and crying and I was saying that he was a nobody and to get out of my life."
Donna sucked in a breath shocked. "I would hit you right now but I just got my manicure. Plus, you have turned into a big softie so it would be like hurting a baby. Maybe I should tell Louis to do it. You two share the same tenderness nowadays."
"Great, sarcasm. Just what I needed… See you tomorrow."
"Harvey wait! Seriously, something's going on. Me and Rachel have been calling every day and he doesn't pick up. I even tried his grandma'snursing home but the nurse who picked up said that Mr Ross has forbidden them to share information with anyone but him and she hung up to me."
"I'll do what I can. At least make him come back to work if he doesn't want to come back to me. I still can't believe he did that."
"Isn't it against the firm's policy to rehire those who resigned?"
"Jessica would have to make an exception."
"Or?"
"Or I'm out too. I owe it to Mike to at least fight for that."
"Great! Shall I start searching for companies that accept employees in trio?"
Harvey rolled his eyes and left the Pearson-Darby halls with heavy feet.
"Don't forget the flowers!" Donna yelled behind him but her eyes were full of tears that refused to shed. If Harvey lost Mike for good she wasn't sure that even she would be able to pick up the pieces. At least before, her friend had his anger to hold on to. Now what?
