Chapter One
Today was the craziest day ever for Nicole Specter. She had been hired to work at Pearson-Hardman from Jackson & Thomas. She was on the elevator going up to the floor where the associates worked and also where Jessica Pearson's office was. Nicki walked off of the elevator and walked to Jessica's assistant saying to her.
"Good morning, my name is Nicki Specter. I'm here to see Jessica Pearson."
Sarah, Jessica's assistant, looked up to see the woman there and she nodded and smiled. Before she could say anything, Jessica herself came out of her office smiling. "Ah Nicki, you're here. Please come in."
Meanwhile, Donna, Harvey's assistant, was watching and listening to the entire time. She was really glad to see her old college friend and confidant working at the firm. Downside was how Harvey would react to having his sister working at the same place that he does.
Harvey had just gotten off the phone, standing up walking out of his office when he looked up and saw the one person that he'd never thought he would see. His sister. Donna saw the look on his face and knew he was upset about seeing her here. "Donna, please tell me that I am seeing things and I am not seeing my-"
"Your sister?" Donna said sarcastically. "Yes that is her. I am actually glad that she is working here. I missed her and we can totally catch up."
"Oh no, I am not reliving college again where the two of you were inseparable and I had to listen to the two of you whispering and giggling about everything." Harvey said to Donna as he walked over to where Jessica and Nicki were standing talking about her salary and where her office would be.
"So, your office will be right behind Donna's desk and you will be able to access everything in the firm and you will have your own associate." Jessica told Nicki and she then looked to her side seeing Harvey. "Oh Harvey, just the one I am looking for. I take it you know that your sister is now working for the firm."
"I wish you would have told me before she got here and I wouldn't be so upset over this whole thing." He told Jessica as he looked at Nicki. "Nice to see you again Nicki."
"Oh come on Harvey, I thought you would be happier to see me." Nicki said to her brother and she smiled at him sarcastically. "You know that you want me here and plus, Jessica hired me and I am working. So you are going to have to get over it." She said with a smile on her face and she walked past her brother and went to go look at her office.
Harvey looked at Nicki as she walked past him and then he turned his attention to his boss Jessica. "You seriously expect me to be able to work as well as I do with her being here because she will be is a distraction?" He asked her with a straight face.
"If you want to stay a senior partner you will. She works for this firm now and there is nothing you can do to change that. Find a way to be civil with her and just do it for me." Jessica said to Harvey with a smile on her face.
Harvey sighed as he started heading back towards his office saying to Jessica." Fine. Only for you. If she gets on my nerves, it's on you." He turned and went over to see Donna and said. "I forgot to pick up a cup of cof—"
Before he could finish the word, Donna handed him the cup of fresh coffee and she smiled at him. Nicki stood in her office doorway and she smiled. "You are still like a well oiled machine." She said as she hugged Donna and then she saw Harvey give her a stern look.
"Get your own assistant and associate because all you will do is take Donna away from me and I can't have that."
"I see. Well don't worry I will not be stealing Donna away from you. Besides I have my own assistant right there." Nicki points to the young man that was sitting at his desk that was next to Donna's and then she looked back at Harvey and Donna along with Harvey's associate Mike Ross walking over to where they were.
"Oh um, am I interrupting something?" Mike asked looking at Nicki and then back at Harvey and Donna.
"No, you are not actually." Harvey said. "Mike, this is my sister Nicki Specter. Nicki, this is my associate Mike Ross."
Nicki looked at Mike and stuck out her hand for Mike to shake and then he shuck his hand and she shook it. "Nice to meet you Mike. I hope that my dear brother is working you too hard."
"Well, he hasn't but I like working for your brother." Mike said.
"Sorry we cant stay and catch up Nic, but I need to get back to work and so does Mike." Harvey turned and walked into his office with Mike following. "Nice to meet you Nicki." Mike said as he closed the door and went into a conversation with Harvey.
"I am going to go and meet a client, have Daniel or you call me if there are any emergencies." Nicki said as she grabbed her jacket along bring her briefcase and she smiled walking past Donna's desk. "see you later Don."
"See ya Nic." Donna said and then she went back to whatever she does at her desk whenever she is not Harvey while Nicki left the office and went out to lunch to meet with a client.
