Chapter 2

Harvey had 'known' his fair share of beautiful women, but this one had something else about her that took his breath away. She was stunning. As she walked down the corridor to the Long Bar Harvey's world seemed to move in slow motion. He studied every detail of her. From a distance he could see she was tall and slim but still had curves, and her hips moved beautifully as she walked. He could tell that the red dress she wore was expensive, it was cut beautifully and well-tailored and showed off her curves incredibly. It looked familiar, he seemed to think he may have seen it on Jessica – but it didn't look like this on her! The black heels she wore matched the black belt of her dress and she walked like a catwalk model despite the fact they were incredibly high. How did women manage to walk in those things?

The lights overhead in the corridor highlighted her naturally blonde hair that was falling in soft waves around her face, over her shoulders and down her back. As she reached the door of the Long Bar he could see that she was incredibly beautiful. She had perfect features that made her look classically beautiful, but also approachable, not the opposite which could quite often be the case with beautiful women.

He smiled inwardly as he realised that women probably wanted to be her and men wanted to sleep with her. So they had at least one thing in common!

He watched her as she settled in to a booth across the room. She pulled a laptop out of her Black Hermes Birkin bag (working with Donna for so long meant he knew bags!) along with a note pad and stack of catalogues. He wondered what they were catalogues of.

Another hour passed and Harvey had been busy switching between his conversation with his client and checking on mystery woman. He had to say that by this point, he was done with his client and could only focus on the lady in red. Who was she? She'd been busy making calls and typing on her laptop as well as flicking through the catalogues and making notes. He couldn't be sure but he thought he'd caught the trace of a British accent. What he was sure of was that she had an endearing laugh and looked even more beautiful when she smiled.

His initial reaction to her was the same as his usual reaction to beautiful women – he wanted to sleep with her. But as he watched her and studied her during the course of the evening, he became more intrigued by her and actually wanted to talk to her and get to know her. Not standard Specter procedure! What was also not standard Specter procedure was the fact that he hadn't caught her looking at him, not once.

Half an hour later Harvey's meeting was over. He told his client that Donna would be in touch with the paperwork in the morning and they said goodbye. As his client left, Harvey sat back down and finished his scotch and motioned to the bar tender to bring him another. At this point he noticed that mystery woman seemed to be slowing down on her work too as she'd finished making calls and was flicking through one of the catalogues. His eyes were drawn to her feet as she slipped them out of her heels and wiggled her red painted toes. It was at this point that she noticed him looking at her and their eyes met for the first time. The connection was undeniable as they held each other's gaze for a few seconds. She thought he had the most beautiful eyes she'd ever seen, who was this handsome man?

This was my first fanfic so I'd really appreciate any feedback and reviews.

I'm tweaking/perfecting this again for 2019 and posting chapter by chapter (lots of you requested that so you could review each chapter).

Follow the story to make sure you catch the next chapter!

Thanks for reading!
