Hey! I wanted to write fro a long time, but wasn't able to implement it until now. Hoping you people like it. This is a Harvey/OC fic
I don't own suits or the characters.
Prologue
Jessica Pearson was ecstatic. She had finally taken down Daniel Hardman-the evil & conniving other named Partner. She was back to being Managing Partner at the firm, which was now by all means hers. It was a good thing that they were done with Hardman once and for all. Everyone at the firm was extremely happy, well almost all. Atleast all the people that mattered to her were happy, among them was Harvey, her favorite senior partner who had helped her the whole time. Well Harvey and his team-Michael Ross, Harvey's fraud associate and Donna Paulson, Harvey's legal secretary. Harvey wanted the celebrations to continue, he thought that they should take a break, and go for a vacation atleast over the weekend, maybe she had told him this morning when he suggested it. But now she had to get to a meeting, and had to leave.
She looked out at the window of the car; she could see people all over, hurrying away, and everyone seemed busy, either texting, or on the phone or with people. It gave her a nostalgic feeling; she was reminded of her own self, a long time ago. She was brought back to reality when the car came to a halt. Jessica stepped out of the car and made her way through the entry, she was meeting one of the firm's oldest clients today, Bennett Smith &Price, one of the world's biggest multinational banking corporation, they were planning to appoint a new Chief Financial Officer, and were signing the contract today. So they wanted Jessica to handle the negotiations with the new appointee. Her firm had been handling all the legal affairs of the corporation including appointments and employment agreements, and since this new person was being entrusted with a major position, Mr. Price, a very good friend of hers wanted her to oversee it.
When she reached the boardroom, she saw that it was filled with five persons; she could identify all of them except the one who was sitting with her back turned to the door.
"Ah! There she is", said Mr. Price, one of the founding members of the corporation getting up to greet Jessica, "the best damn lawyer in the country. I hear congratulations are in order, seems like you finally managed to get rid of that scum bag!"
"Well, thank you Jeffery, Yes we were finally able to get rid of him", she said suddenly becoming aware of the fact that, a pair of eyes had fixated at her, when she turned to look at that man, she knew the reason why, she was equally surprised, in fact her jaw almost dropped.
"Should have guessed it when Jeffery told me, that Bennett Smith &Price was engaging legal services from the best law firm in town.
"You should have" replied Jessica.
"Looks like we don't have to waste time in introductions, you two seem to know each other."
At this point both, Jessica and the other man smiled. There was a moment of silence when both of them were trying to contemplate who would enlighten the other about their acquaintance. When Jessica spoke up, "Well yes, we know each other, so should we get down to business."
"Mike, how long does it take for you to proof read a document?" Harvey Specter asked his associate.
"You gave it to me like, 30 minutes ago and it's a 300 page document." replied Mike Ross
"Well, whatever just make it quick"
"What about Hawaii?", asked Harvey's red-headed secretary as she walked in. She seemed excited and was smiling.
Harvey looked up from his laptop and shot a confused glance. "For your honeymoon with your imaginative husband?" he joked.
Donna rolled her eyes, "First of all I would never go for my honeymoon to Hawaii, and secondly you forgot already?"
Harvey gave her look which said that she wasn't helping.
"She's talking about the vacation plans that you were making with so much enthusiasm only an hour ago" said Mike not looking up from the files that he had been reading from.
"Oh!" said Harvey suddenly realization dawning on him, "Na, not Hawaii, it's over the weekend Donna, something better", he told a disappointed Donna, and then looked at Mike "weren't you supposed to be working Mike?"
"I am WORKING", said Mike looking up this time.
"Here?"
"You didn't seem to have a problem until now"
"Now I do, so go to your desk and work there, you don't seem to be concentrating completely here."
"What? No! It's better here, besides there much more distraction in the bullpen"
"Now! out!" ordered Harvey.
Mike picked up the files, and started walking out of his office, cursing Harvey under his breath.
"You know, you don't always have to be a jerk!" said Donna over the intercom
"I know, but I kind of like it", said Harvey
"So how have you been Jessica?" asked Nathan Jones, the newly appointed CFO of Bennett Smith &Price over lunch. The papers were signed and Mr. Price asked Jessica and the new CFO of their corporation join them for lunch.
"I've been fine Nathan, thank you. How have you been? "
"I've been good to Jessica", he said, then after mustering a lot of courage "How is Harv?", he asked not sure whether he could still call him that.
Jessica looked at him, not able to decipher what he wanted, but with all the history that Harvey and he shared, he must have been genuinely concerned about him, "he's good", she told him, "he's Harvey Specter, and he's been promoted to Senior Partner", she added.
"That's incredible!" said Nathan.
"I know, it is, he deserves it! Oh and by the way when did you get back to New York?"
"Been here since last week, you know what they stay about how it all ends where it started. So we came in last week, I'm here with my fiancé", he said smiling, indicating that he was engaged to a girl who Jessica knew.
Jessica was taken aback, she wasn't exactly shocked that it would come to this but, still this was news. Realizing that if she didn't react it would be rude, she said, "Congratulations! To you and her, speaking of what is she doing these days? And how on earth did you convince her to get married-to you", she asked smiling.
"Oh, that wasn't easy". He smiled, "She agreed only after a lot of persuading, and begging, you know and she is considering a few job options, and I told her that she should join you guys back, but you know how she is"
"Yea" said Jessica, she knew exactly how her former employee was-stubborn and bad with confrontations. "So which places is she considering?"
"Oh she has a few offers from a few firms, but I guess she is looking at Mitchell, Young and Brown", he said, "She says they are offering her the best"
"Really? Better than what we can offer her?" she asked, she was a little disappointed, that one her favorite employees' , who was back in town after six whole years would consider joining their rival firms, and not even consider the firm where she started of her career.
"How about this, I will try and convince her to join you, and then you can discuss, and even considering that I fail to convince her, I hope you can talk to her, she would never say no to you and you know that"
"Sounds good to me"
After goodbyes Jessica got into her car, she was doing this only because she wanted more support in the firm, just in case Daniel decided to show up again, she was being prepared, and a little extra support never harmed anyone, well but this particular support that she wanted could harm someone. Well not exactly harm them, but she wasn't sure how to break it to her Senior Associate, she contemplated as to whether she should tell him or not. After some more consideration she realized that they had reached her firm, still indecisive about it, she considered talking to Donna first. Yes that was it.
Hopefully you people liked it. Should I continue or not? Please review!
