Harvey Specter was the best closer in town. He was a legend in the streets of New York City. All the men wanted to be him and all the women wanted to be with him and then there were those who just flat out feared him.
He was definitely in control. There weren’t a lot of things that Harvey couldn’t do. He had a way of dealing with people. The cocky son of a bitch had swagger and he could turn any maybe or no into an instant yes. Experience had made him cold and emotionless. Harvey was ruthless.
These attributes weren’t exactly the best of qualities in a man, but they looked good on him and fitted to his personality. No one was like the legendary Harvey Specter.
Harvey was walking to his office, when Jessica stopped him and called him to hers. He had been working on the initial public offering of one of the most promising tech firms to revolutionize green energy for quite some time now and the IPO was nearing the quiet period, so he figured Jessica probably just wanted an update.
“Jessica! What can I do for you?” Harvey asked with a big grin on his face.
His smile could have made a blind woman see and knock the panties off any other woman, but not Jessica. She was as extraordinary as he was ruthless. Plus she knew Harvey all too well to fall for his dapper charm.
“Are we all set for the Lawrence Walter’s IPO?” She asked.
“As ready as we'll ever be,” He replied quoting the 1962 box office film, The Longest Day.
“Good to know. I knew you were the man for the job, Maverick!” she replied calling him by the name of his favorite character from the movie Top Gun.
“Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy,” he joked back.
“Is there anything else I could do for you, Jessica?” he asked immediately wishing he could take back what he had just said. He loathed how Jessica devious was sometimes. She certainly knew how to play with people.
“Glad you asked Harvey. We’ve done everything we could from the legal/ business standpoint for the Green Energy (GE) IPO. All there is to do is to make sure that Lawrence’s daughter, the heir apparent of the company known to be a loose cannon doesn’t screw things up for the image of the company.” She explained.
“What do you want me to do? Tie her up and lock her in the Bat Cave until the hush period is over?” he quipped.
“Make sure that things go according to plan by babysitting her Harvey,” she checked her phone to see if any new messages had come in.
“I can’t do that Jessica. I have better things to do than babysitting a privileged trust fund brat who probably has too much money issues. I’ve got the Davis, Coleman, and Williams case to defend,” he argued.
“Then outsource those to Mike like you always do. This IPO is top priority Harvey and I want my best guy on the job for this,” she said sternly indicating that he had no choice.
“You owe me! Besides this will be good for you. It might give you a taste of your own medicine after all the shenanigans you’ve pulled throughout the years,” The woman said with grace still sounding as elegant as ever.
“I would prefer it if you stuck me with half a dozen pro bono cases instead of punishing me with a high maintenance rich kid who can’t handle her good fortune. See I did a little digging on the kid and the last thing I would like to do is deal with that,“ he suggestively countered.
Unlike the kid, Harvey wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everything he had he had earned on his own with perseverance and dedication. He hated seeing the privileged youth squander away their wealth and so willingly tarnish their reputation just for a good time.
