"Hey, Harvey," Louis called him over to his office where he and a client were discussing Donna.
"Will and I were just discussing the competence of our COO." He flinched slightly when Harvey assumed the 'Super Harvey' postion. Hands in pockets and chest puffed out.
"You have to admit, a former secretary for a COO..." his eyes held suggestions, and Harvey was disgusted by all of them.
"Is there something you're trying to say?" Steel entered his tone as he stepped forward.
"She's a beautiful girl. It's no insult, I just wouldn't want her handling my bill. You understand," he stood as if the meeting were finished.
Harvey's jaw hardened as he stuck out a hand.
"It's Whitaker, correct?"
Will took his hand warily.
"Let me be perfectly clear. It is an insult to her integrity and competence. I'm not going to respond to those accusations mostly because I'm disgusted by them. If you deal with this firm, Miss. Paulsen is handling your paperwork, and if you can't understand THAT, then get the he'll out of my building."
Donna walked by, and smiled.
"Oh and when you leave, take your misogyny with you."
Will Whitaker left in a hurry. Louis smirked at him.
"Why did you call me in here, Louis. You could've easily handled that."
"Maybe," Louis eyed him with respect, "but you're better at annihilating people who take shots at Donna."
"Oh," Harvey rolled his eyes, "Was this fun for you?"
"Fun? Harvey, look at me. I am one of the best lawyers in the city. The highest billable around, I have a wife, a child, and a life time membership to the New York City Ballet," Louis squinted his eyes and sat smug in his chair, " Get out of my office."
Harvey smirked in response as he exited. He almost bumped into Donna. "Was that a new client?"
"No, I don't think he'll be back," he rolled his eyes.
"That bad?"
Harvey mulled it over. Tell Donna and have her old doubts of competence return? Stay silent and let the situation go?
"Yeah, we don't need what he's offering," Harvey turned his boyish grin to her, " Do me a favor?"
She arched a brow, "What?"
"Go be Donna."
She smirked and tugged at his tie with a seductive smile, " That shouldn't be a problem."
