Hey Everyone!

I start school tomorrow (Canadians are awesome like that), so updates won't be as frequent as I'd like, unfortunately. But this doesn't mean I'll abandon you guys. I love my story too much to just leave it incomplete.

ON THURSDAY'S EPISODE: EMOTIONAL HARVEY? Sweet Baby Jesus, I can't control myself right now. Just... so awesome, there is no way I can rationally think right now. Donna is still her badass self, and (dare I say it) I actually felt bad for Louis in this episode (JUST when Harvey was yelling at him). UGH, why can't Rachel stop being a bitch and Mike pull his head out of his ass and just fricken be together? God, I'm thoroughly pissed. If Mike is with Jenny in the season finale, I will shoot someone.

Hope you enjoy!

P.S. I don't own Suits

"Junior?"

Max didn't hear the words properly. She must have heard the words wrong. Jessica Pearson did not just say that. Who was she to be offered this job? It was just unreal.

"You want me to be a Junior Partner?" The brunette said unbelievably.

Jessica smiled. This woman was humble, she noticed. She was dominating in the firm and in the courtroom, so Jessica wondered why she was shocked that the powerful woman offered Maxine the job of being a Junior Partner. It was inevitable in reality. Max was over qualified to be a Sophomore Associate, but a Junior Partner was perfect for Max, at the moment. It was almost as if Jessica was supposed to give Max this job, which she was doing at the moment.

"After Harvey made Senior, a position for Junior has been open, and never has been filled. I can't think of anyone to take the job, except for you. Maxine, you clearly are good at your job, and you can make the firm look good. You can take the non-equity partnership for now, but you don't have to switch over-"

"I'll take it," Max said, "And I'll eventually become an equity partner."

The taller one of the two smiled, "That's what I like to hear."

She walked back to her desk, "You can fill out all of the paperwork tomorrow. I'll have one of the janitors move all of your items and files to your new office in the morning."

Max smiled, "You know, let me take care of that myself."

The woman began to leave Jessica's office, "Thank you very much, Jessica. It really means a lot to me."

"Well, you deserved it," the dark-skinned woman said, smiling.

Before Max could utter out another word, Jessica cut her off.

"And if you're wondering, your office is located in the opposite corner of Harvey's office."

Max internally frowned. She had really hoped her new office was some-what closer to Harvey, but she should have known better when she was dealing with Jessica Pearson.

"Just because I'm alright with this relationship doesn't mean I want it anywhere near the office. You remember that," the tall woman enforced with a raised eyebrow.

Not jinxing a good thing, Max smiled a tight smile and left the office, heading towards her new office, peaking in. It belong to Gordon Quinn, a junior partner who transferred to a firm in New Jersey. The office was almost the exact same design as Harvey's, but quite smaller. The large windows were over looking the city, and Max could feel the peace it brought with it; remembering her days as a child. The office was filled with expensive furniture, but Max knew that she was going to have fun changing that. The large empty shelf against the wall made Max overjoyed. She finally had somewhere to put her books she had kept in storage. Walking out of her new office, she made her way to the elevators. Almost instantly she stopped, realizing that Harvey wasn't waiting for her downstairs, rather he was sitting on the metal benches, on his phone. She smiled; Harvey was worried about her. She forcefully clicked her heel, causing the noise to echo and grab Harvey's attention. He stood up, noticing that Max's face held no emotion.

"What did Jessica say?" Harvey asked her. She was gone for more than five minutes, but Harvey couldn't bear to wait for her in the lobby.

Max licked her lips, "Jessica wants me to clear my cubicle in the morning."

Harvey's gasp fell through his lips. Jessica fired Max?

All of a sudden, Max's lips turned upwards.

"And to move into my new office."

Max giggled at Harvey's confused reaction as she placed her hands on her hips.

"You are now looking at one of Pearson Hardman's Junior Partners."

Max heard Harvey's briefcase fall as his hands wrapped around her waist, lifting her up. She laughed as he placed her on the ground, holding her tightly before placing a quick kiss on her lips.

"You're not fired?"

"No," Max laughed.

"You sure?"

The woman laughed, "Yes, Harvey."

Harvey sighed in relief, "Don't pull that shit on me, Max. I was going to flip."

"Oh right, because you care," the brunette said, laughing.

The man shook his head, "What did she say, exactly?"

Max sighed, "Jessica said that I was exceptionally good at my job at Jackson Fortworth, and since I spent three and a half years there before I transferred to here, she took into account the year and a few months I've spent here, and knew that I was qualified for the job."

Harvey rolled his eyes, "I honestly didn't know you were qualified for the job."

"Ha. That was funny, Harvey," Max said walking towards the elevator.

"So you know you're going to have associates," Harvey said picking up his briefcase.

The thought hadn't hit Max, "Oh God. I'm going to have a secretary."

"Don't even think about taking Donna," the man said entering the elevator.

"Don't worry, I wouldn't dream of taking your beloved secretary," she said pressing the lobby button.

"Ezra on the other hand..."

The blond kept looking at the cubicle in front of him as he was working hard. Max was the opposite of Mike; she arrived to the office early, she got her work done faster, and she looked good doing it. So it was a shock to him that it was already an hour into the day, and Max hadn't even bother to arrive to her work station. She wasn't sick, and she wasn't with Harvey, as he was sitting in his office alone. No one had seen Maxine, and Mike was starting to worry. About to fear the worst, Maxine herself came into the office, holding an empty box. Curious, Mike walked towards her desk as she placed the box down, putting files and other trinkets into the box. Horror flashed through his mind.

"Max...you're not cleaning out your desk, right?"

She looked at him silently as she threw more of her things into the box.

More associates began to gather, realizing that their co-worker was no longer working in the area anymore. Some of them were sad, but some were passing money around, seeing as it was a bet of some sort. Max silently grabbed her box as she left the workroom. Mike followed her, seeing as he wanted answers.

"You can't be fired, Max," he said, weaving his way through cubicles, "When were you fired? Yesterday?" He continued as Max wordlessly kept walking. "If it was about the Louis thing yesterday, then tell Jessica that he started it," he kept following Max towards the corner of the office floor, "Go to Jessica, tell her- no, demand that you want your old job back..." Mike silenced himself as he arrived to the glass corner office. His eyes caught onto the translucent words placed on the window.

'Maxine Harris: Junior Partner'

"But I don't think you'd want your old job back," Mike said smiling.

She mirrored his smile as she was leaning against her door frame.

"You smell like Rachel," she commented on before heading into her office, placing the box onto her desk as hired workers were hanging pictures on the available wall space and placing books into the empty shelves. Men were placing files into cabinets while they were also moving the expensive leather furniture around. Mike caught onto a small item on Max's desk; a pair of baby shoes safely tucked in the inner corner. He noticed instantly that it was one of the items that Max told him about, the ones from her mother's safety deposit box.

"That's hilarious," Mike said, standing at the door, ignoring the thought he just had.

"Kidding," she said rolling her eyes as she walked out of her office, "I'm glad you and Rachel had fun last night. I've missed her hanging with us. She's a good one, Mike," she said, looping her arms around Mike's left arm.

"Agreed," Mike said, turning to walk back to his cubicle.

As they were walking, Mike trailed his eyes on the floor.

"So...the baby shoes?"

Max smiled, "I emptied out the box."

Mike stopped, shocked at what Max did.

"It was time, Mike," she said shrugging her shoulders, "I've got to let go of the past."

The blond nodded in agreement. Max was the type of person to forgive, but never forget.

"I still can't believe you're one of my bosses now," Mike said as he sat down, changing the subject.

She shrugged her shoulders, "I'm still the same Max."

"Who happened to sleep her way to the top," Stan said, high-fiving Gregory as they were listening in to their conversation.

Max looked at them both with a sinister look, wiping their smirks of their faces.

"I'm sorry. Sleeping my way to the top requires me sleeping with the boss, and I didn't know Jessica was rooting for the other team," she said, approaching the two, "I became a lawyer on my own. I joined the firm on my own. I made sophomore on my own, and even though you think otherwise, I made junior on my own," She smirked, leaning in, "So why don't you respect one of the Junior Partners. Who knows if you'll be transferred under my wing."

She began walking away, enjoying the looks of horror on the associates' faces, until she almost bummed into Louis. Crossing her arms, she faced the man with an emotionless expression.

"Ah, Max, there you are," Louis said holding a bunch of files in his hand, "I need you to go over all of the paperwork regarding the Morrissy case," the rat-faced man said as he threw the file onto the now empty cubicle, "And I want it done by today."

"Louis, didn't you hear?" A voice behind Max said, stopping just behind her. Max's grin appeared on her face.

"Didn't hear what?" The balding man said as he looked to the person behind the woman.

"Max was promoted to Junior this morning," Max smirked at Harvey's dominance that was radiating off of him and his voice.

Louis, laughing at the unbelievability of the situation, shook his head.

"You're joking, right? Jessica couldn't have promoted her."

"Why don't you ask her yourself? I'm sure she'd be glad to answer you, Louis," Max said, grinning at him. She leaned in, smirking at him.

"By the way, I did actually learned that one between the sheets," she said with a wink.

The man looked between Harvey and Max before pushing through them, heading in the direction of Jessica's office. The woman laughed, turning to face her boyfriend.

"You think Louis is mad that he lost his best associate?"

"I know he is," Harvey said quietly, "I think he's more mad that he was embarrassed by you twice."

"God bless the Freedom of Speech," Max said, smiling.

Harvey's head dipped towards the beauty in front of him, "You know, I would love to hear what you'll have to say, well, tonight."

The woman looked up at her man, "You just have to wait and see."

Max smiled, walking backwards, "If you would excuse me, I have wanna-be lawyers waiting for me to make them cry."

She waved a quick goodbye to Mike, who sat there with a smile on his face.

"What?" Harvey asked skeptically.

Mike shook his head.

"I always wondered if there was a female Harvey Specter. Now, I got my answer."

The faster you review, the more updates that come!

ON THE NEXT TAOP: Max makes a new friend, Donna has a little fun, and Mike... shoots someone in the head?
