Intro
Louis never thought you’d last this long. Honestly, he’d practically encouraged you to quit. When you first started working at Person Hardman as a paralegal, he could not stand your go-getter, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed attitude. He thought for sure you’d be crushed by the weight of the expectations he set upon you.
Surprisingly, you stuck around, and you… didn’t seem to mind Louis’ treatment of you. Sure, he’s mean to everyone, but he couldn’t help but give you in particular a hard time. Giving you way too much work, picking on you, making you stay late… It was fun. Especially because you always bounced back.
Now, almost three years later, it’s kind of an unspoken thing that everyone knows that you’re his unofficial assistant. Norma’s a sweetheart, but you know Louis better than anyone, whether willingly or not. And he still gives you a harder time than anyone.
He wishes he could say that today is no different, but… he’s had a very, very shitty day. He made a big mistake, lost a client, cost the firm millions. Jessica’s disappointed in him, and Harvey’s been rubbing it in with snide comments all damn evening. He’s sulking in his office, squeezing his stress ball and staring at the floor.
