Chapter One
Lizzie Bennett walked into her agent's office. He's late , good I can prep first, she thought. Lizzie went to the mirror , hanging on the wall. She checked her make up . She put an extra coat of mascara on. ' There that will bring out my brown eyes' ,she said to herself . She checked her chocolate colored hair that went straight down to her butt. Perfect curls , I'm gonna tip Jane better the next time I se e her , she thought to herself.
She sat down in a red comforter.Tapping her fingers as she looked around the room waiting. She thought the office looked like a hospital room. White was everywhere except for the red comforter , and that was only there cause Lizzie bought for her agent. She thought the room needed color.
Her agent finally arrived . The agent was a man in his forties, very polished. " Lizzie , hello darling , so sorry to keep you waiting . Found a modeling gig for you. The man wants to see you in person ,though. Just to see if your perfect for the shoot.He really seemed to like your pictures - well his partner, a Mr. Bingley , said he did. Nice man - Mr. Bingley , not that Mr. Darcy isn't nice - he's just , well . different."
" Different ?" Lizzie asked. This should be interesting. Her agent usually praises every that walks into his agency to use one of his models.
" Lizzie . For me can you walk on eggshells around this guy. I'm slightly worried he may not take to your - well. Lizzie you have a lot of pride , along with snarky comebacks. Mr. Darcy is known for his critical eye.This could me your big break ." her agent looked worried. She had never seen him this worried .
" For you I shall try my best. " Lizzie promised ." Scout's honor."
" No offense but that not comforting , considering I know you were thrown out of them." the agent wiped his brow.
" The Scout leader was a know it all , someone had to put her in her place . The way she treated Jane.It infuriated me. I might have handed the situation better - I'll cop to that." Lizzie smirked. The agent shooked his head.
" Your mother told me you actually hit the leader."
" She was gonna hit Jane again ."
All of a sudden the office door opened. In walked a businessman. Lizzie looked him over. Brown hair and eyes . Late 20's , maybe , she thought. Head - to - toe in designer clothes. He had a stern look on his face . Lizzie grinned.
" Hello, you must be Mr. Darcy. " Lizzie said politely.
" Lizzie how did you know. I never told you what he looked like." the agent said.
L izzie looked at Darcy's unfriendly face . " Wild guess" she smirked.
Mr. Darcy looked at Lizzie's agent ." I presume this is the model." Darcy looked Lizzie over . " She's a tolerable beauty , not beautiful enough for me." Mr. Darcy then left the room.
Lizzie turned red in the face " Tolerable ? Not beautiful enough ? That little prick."
