The making of Harvey Spectre

Change of situation

"This would be the fourth time this month." the man on the phone said.

"Alright. Bye." Jessica hung up.

The man on the line was a private detective working for Jessica. She decided to do some due diligence after the last incident with Harvey and gambling. She pulled out her personal phone and dialled a number.

"Hello, Ms. Peason. How may I help you?" the young woman on the line said.

"Lisa, darling I need a favour." Jessica said kindly.

"Anything for you!" she said and Jessica could imagine the blush on her face. Lisa's had a crush on Jessica since she can remember. They've talked about it and decided that's not a path meant for them.

"I need a membership for someone but I need it..." Jessica stalled just a little.

"Yesterday." Lisa finished her sentence immediately.

"Haha... expedited, is what I was going to say but yes, would you be able to arrange it?" Jessica smiled.

"Alright, send me the documents and I'll have the access card delivered by tomorrow." Lisa said.

"Thank you." Jessica said concluding the conversation.

The next day, as Lisa promised, Jessica was holding the access card with Harvey's name on it by 2:30 in the afternoon. She decided to wait till the day was done. There was no one around in the office by 9:30PM. She knew Harvey would be in the library or archives. She went to the archives first and her gut wasn't wrong. He was on a table by some stacks, looking at some paper-work. She walked in and made eye contact with him.

"Follow me." she said and left a confused Harvey to follow her back to her office.

"Did I do something wrong?" Harvey could sense something - he wasn't quite sure what but he felt vulnerable.

"No. I just wanted to talk to you about something." she said with her face giving nothing away.

"Ok..." he said trying hard to study her but came up with nothing.

"I've learned that you've been frequenting some establishments for... extracurricular activities." she said. A blush crawled up Harvey's neck but he'd be damned if he let that affect him. He wasn't the type to be ashamed of his preferences.

"What I do outside of work is my business. I didn't infringe anything we've discussed." he said carefully.

"Relax, I'm not judging you. I'm just saying those places are not necessarily... safe." She was saying when he cut her off.

"Jessica, you can't possibly..." he began to say when she held her finger up and he shut his mouth.

"This is your warning. Do not cut me off again. Let me finish." She said and pulled out an envelope with red and matt-black design on it. "Your account has been taken care of. Next time you need your fill for whatever it is, you go here. Not to those shady places. Am I understood?" She asked calmly.

"This... Sorry, Yes, understood." the wheels in Harvey's head were churning.

"May I ask you something?" he added.

"It was part of my due diligence Harvey. I do trust you." She answered before he even asked.

"Alright. And... umm... thanks."

"You're welcome. Now, get out." She said in a humorous tone and Harvey got up to leave.

It was the establishment Jessica visited herself when in need of some power play. Although, now that she was with Quinton, she hadn't been there in a while. She had no intentions of returning there anytime soon.
