[phone starts ringing] Where in hell did I put my phone? After throwing the sheets back on her bed, Julianne finds her phone.

"Hello?"

"Hello, is this Julianne Monroe?"

"Yes this is."

"This is Jessica Pearson calling from Pearson Hardman."

"Oh! Hello Jessica! How are you doing this morning?"

"I'm doing fine thank you, I was calling to offer you a job. We have had a position open up and would like to have you on in our firm as an Associate, that's if you still want to work for us."

"Yes, yes, yes of course. I would love to." She says, hardly being able to contain her excitement.

"Okay, great. We understand that you are currently living in California; we will allow you two weeks to come to New York and find a place. After the two weeks, we expect you start."

"Thank you so much!"

"Someone from the firm will be giving you a call in a week or so to make sure you made it here and give you more information on when you are to start."

"Thank you again Ms. Pearson. Really, thank you."

"You're welcome; it'll be nice to have another female Lawyer in this office. See you soon."

Julianne hangs up the phone and jumps for joy.

"Oh Chessie, we are moving to New York!" Chessie being Julianne's cat. Julianne scoops up Chessie and just stands there in amazement. In just two weeks time she will be working in New York as a Lawyer.

This is what I need.


Julianne takes a cab from her apartment building to her new place of work. [phone rings]

"This is Julianne."

"Hi Julianne, this is Rachel, Zane, from Pearson Hardman."

"Hi, good morning."

"Good morning, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be in the office this morning to show you around. I asked another Associate to show you around. So when you get to the front desk, just ask for Mike Ross. He's expecting you."

"Okay, thank you."

"Good luck and I will come by when I get in, to introduce myself."

"Sounds great, thank you." Julianne hangs up the phone.

The cab comes to a stop and she steps out and standing massively in front of her is the building that she will be working in. It looks much more intimidating than it did when she first interviewed.

Just breathe, you'll be fine. You've got this.


Julianne walks up to the receptionist. "Hi, I'm Julianne Monroe, here to see Mike Ross." Mike standing only a few feet away rushes over just in time to stop the receptionist from dialing any numbers on the phone.

"Hey, welcome. I'm Mike Ross" Hm, not bad looking. This firm might not be so bad after all.

"Don't look so nervous Julianne."

"Please call me Juli."

"It's going to be fine here, I've adjusted and if I can adjust you will be just fine."

"Thank you Mike, it's just first day jitters."

The tour gets started and they are stopped by a man that Juli doesn't know.

This guy is dressed too nicely to be another Associate. But wow, he's gorgeous.

"Did you get the deposition done like I asked?" Harvey says in a low and impolite tone.

Okay, he's kind of an ass too.

"Yes, I did. Harvey this is the newest Associate, Julianne Monroe"

Harvey glances at her, "Hi." Then back to Mike, "Then why isn't it on my desk?"

"I got side tracked, Rachel asked me to…" pointing towards Julianne.

Cutting Mike off, "Just get it on my desk." Harvey walks off.

"Ohhhh-kay, who was that?" Juli asks reluctantly.

"Senior Partner, Harvey Specter. He's a ray of sunshine compared to Louis Litt. Have you met Louis yet?"

"Briefly, he was there when I was interviewed. But now, I'm terrified to speak with him, thank you."

The tour has now come to an end and they are standing in front of an empty, cubical style, desk area.

"This will be your home away from home. I'm seated right across from you, so just send up smoke signals if you get lost in any paper work."

Laughing, "Thanks, I'll be sure to do that.


Juli plops down on her sofa in the living room of her newly furnish apartment. She's exhausted, but not fully ready for bed. She looks at the clock, 1:36am. It's only 10:30pm west coast time. My brother is definitely up. Juli grabs her phone off the coffee table and calls up her brother.

"Hey New Yorker!"

"Hey Dilynn! It's so nice to hear your voice!"

"Damn Juls it's only been 2 weeks since we've talked."

"Shut up, I can't help it that I miss everyone."

"Whatever. What are you up to? And you do know it's after 1 in the morning over there right, shouldn't you been in bed?"

"I had my first day of work today, I couldn't sleep. So I thought I'd call."

"Today was your first day? How was it?"

"Yeah, it was long, but it was great."

"How are your co-workers?"

"The fellow associates seem nice. I only really talked to one today though. Mike. The Senior Partner, Harvey seems like a real tool, but that just may be how he comes off, I'll find out soon enough I'm sure. But my direct boss, a Junior Partner, Louis Litt… ugh. He is so annoying. It is only day one and I want to smother him."

"Oh Juls, you'll be just fine. I promise. Come home soon and visit."

"You should come to New York!"

"Maybe. Well I should go. Bye Julianne."

"Goodnight Dilynn." Juli sits her phone down next to her and becomes sad. Talking with her family on the phone is harder than she thought it would be.

This move better be worth it.
