Lizzie did a final read through of the article before a satisfied smile settled on her face. She quickly saved the document before attaching it to the email that was already waiting to be sent.
She quickly pressed send before powering off her laptop. Fixing her things, she quickly made her way to the cubicle that was across her.
"Jane. I'm heading home now. Do you need a ride?" The woman in question looked up from the laptop screen she was intently staring at.
"I'll be fine, Lizzie. Charles' plane landed three hours ago and he promised to pick me up five minutes from now. It's date night today."
"I can see that." It really was obvious. Jane's golden hair was gently curled today and her blue eyes were even more pronounced than usual due to her eyeliner. Instead of her usual casual wear, she was wearing a pale pink summer dress that made her look even more china doll-esque.
"What about you? Do you have plans for the evening?"
"I think I'll just read tonight. Someone seems to busy to take me out tonight." Lizzie emphasized this by craning her head towards the huge office at the end of the hall, an unmistakable silhouette could be seen behind the frosted glass.
"It's okay, Lizzie. I'm sure you guys can go out tomorrow night."
"Oh. I don't mind him working late tonight. I sent him a surprise." A mischievous twinkle appeared in her violet eyes as she ran her hand through her unruly brown tresses.
"Lizzie." Jane gave her trademark disapproving frown.
"Jane" Lizzie mimicked Jane's chastising tone. "Don't worry about me. Have fun with your husband tonight."
With that, Lizzie left the building and a worried Jane behind.
William Darcy, the editor-in-chief of the Rosings Publications rubbed his tired eyes. Today had been a long day and he longed to see his fiance before he headed home tonight. However, the pile of articles that were waiting to be edited told him otherwise. Looked like he was staying here tonight.
He sighed at the unfairness of that and checked his mail. Lizzie had already sent her article. And it was two days early too. Smiling, he eagerly downloaded the file before perusing over it. His eyes widened as he read what was written.
"Lizzie!"
