"…And you have a table read tonight on your upcoming show," Louis wrapped up while she was doing hair and makeup. Donna was back on set inside her dressing room, waiting to be called for her scene.

Last night was something she's been desperately trying to forget about. She has come to the conclusion that the best way to avoid Harvey was to lock herself in her penthouse when she has nothing else planned at night.

"Donna, you good?" Louis noticed her quiet behavior. Donna was usually chatty, especially during hair and makeup. "Did something happen last night?"

Except for the fact that your new hire ruined my night with Rachel, nothing happened. Donna bit back her answer.

"I'm good. I'm preparing myself for the next scene, it involves me crying," she lied, she didn't want to talk to anyone today.

"As far as I can remember, there won't be crying in the next scene. In fact, you'll hug me so tight that I would want Robert to end the scene so I don't suffocate."

Donna glanced at whose voice was that through the mirror and smiled. It was Mike Ross. A well-known actor as well, won multiple awards. He started acting way before her and he was one of the people who showed her the ropes. This was their first movie together, his scenes were supposed to be done until yesterday, when Robert told her they changed the script. He was also Rachel's boyfriend.

"Ross, good to see you again," Louis greeted him, Mike hugged him in response. "I missed seeing your face, Louis. And you too, Donna."

"Oh, I missed you too my dear endgame. My character would probably be miserable without you."

"You know, it's better if you tell me directly that you don't want me back here than complaining that you don't like this film's ending. It's awesome," Mike said, offended by her sarcasm.

She laughed and signaled him to come give her a cheek kiss. He obliged. "I missed you too, Mike. And you're right, I love the new ending better. Have you told Rachel about it though?"

"Told Rachel what? That I would be kissing her best friend for a scene? Yeah, she told me she's cool about it. Do you know what else she told me?"

Donna knew what it was. And she won't allow it to be the topic of this conversation. "Louis, what time is the table read again?" she switched the topic. She rolled her eyes when she saw Mike smirk.

"6 o'clock, why?"

"Nothing, Louis. Thank you for your service," Donna smiled sweetly. If Louis found that weird, he didn't say anything against it. Mike was about to say another word but was quickly interrupted by the staff.

"Donna, Mike, it's your scene now," the staff informed them. Donna thanked her hair and makeup team before strolling outside the room. Mike was trailing behind her, Louis telling them he'd catch up.

Outside her dressing room, as usual, her two personal bodyguards were stationed. Stephen is always on her left, and Mitchell is always on her right. But right now, unfortunately, Mitchell was replaced by the ever-annoying Harvey.

Her security team knows that whenever she's at sets, they'll always be stationed by her dressing room. No following her around, which she was thankful for this moment. But even if she was glad no bodyguard was following her, one co-star was.

She knew Mike saw the replacement. Mike was here during the start of the film, meaning he has met Stephen and Mitchell. She didn't need to tell him who was new.

"Rachel was right," Mike said when he caught up to her. They were now sitting on the chairs beside the set which were out of frame, waiting to be called. The set was filled with lights, cameras, and set pieces. At the back part of the room, you could see Robert telling the cameraman what his vision of this scene is.

"He is attractive," he concluded. Donna didn't say anything nor show any interest at all. Mike noticed this and decided he would not let her off the hook. "Oh come on, Donna. I'm your friend! You tell me things!"

"Uh uh, I tell your girlfriend things. She just passes the information to you. And she is wrong, Harvey is not attractive," she finally spoke, making Mike smile.

"Harvey, huh? It suits his face."

"What suits his face is a fist punching him."

"Ouch, Donna. Too harsh. You really do despise this man."

Donna only hummed in reply. If she were being honest, she didn't really know where this hatred for him came from. She knows that he's doing his job, it's just that she can't help herself from hating his guts. Maybe she's protecting herself. God knows what would happen when she lets her forbidden thoughts consume her. She knows deep down that he's going to be trouble. It's best to stay away.

"You know, that's how it starts in the movies. Enemies to lovers trope," Mike said in a suggestive tone. Donna raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "What are you saying, Mike?"

"I think, you like him," he stated like it was no big deal. Donna snorted. The idea was so crazy, why would Mike think he likes Harvey? She practically told him he'd want to see Harvey's face bruised and injured, which was a bad idea to think about because her brain imagined Harvey's face after a fight. He would probably still look ho- Donna, stop it.

"The odds of that happening is zero. I hate the man, Mike. I tell everyone who asks about him that. I guarantee you, I do not like him. The thought of us being a couple makes me want to barf."

She saw Mike grin. "I never said anything about you two being a couple. I only said that there's a chance you like him."

Shit. Donna thought.

"Which means, you think about him a lot! Oh my god, Donna? You have a thing for your bodyguard? Such a scandal!"

"You talk way too much, do you know that? How many times do I have to tell you, that I absolutely HATE him. I keep on praying every night that Mitchell would come back soon so he would be gone," she defended, one more word from Mike's mouth and she might lose it. She wanted less Harvey talk, instead she got more than what she got with Rachel last night.

"You didn't deny thinking about him a lot," Mike pointed out, grinning widely as ever.

Donna was speechless for a moment because she knew he was right. Despite all this hate talk, she has thought about Harvey. Quite a lot. Harvey in his suit, how it fits him perfectly that she could see his perfectly toned muscles. Harvey's low speaking voice if he uses it in a different situation, inside her room specifically, would make her shiver. Harvey's eyes, which she can't stop thinking about ever since he called her his "problem".

She shook her head to stray away from her thoughts. This is not good.

"Did I ever say you talk too much? You should shut up now," Donna said while showing her biggest sarcastic smile. Mike laughed. "I have freedom of speech, Donna. I can talk whenever you want. So I am going to tell you right here right now that you like your-"

"Mike, Donna, time for you to shine. Would you please go to your places?" Robert called out to them, interrupting Mike. Donna let out a silent "thank you" because she didn't want to hear Mike complete his sentence.

"Lucky you, Donna. Saved by the bell," Mike teased once more. Donna decided not to answer and walked to her place instead. She'd have to deal with Mike later. Now is not the time to dwell on the fact that she might find Harvey Specter attractive.

She's at her safe place now. She's acting. She's good at this. And it's time to shine.

She needs a distraction from the guy standing outside her dressing room right now.
