A/N: Hey everyone! So new chapter up really quick, kind of want to rap this up. Any way this chapter is a little smaller than the others and probably the hardest to right.

Thanks to my beta, Anony Mouse 1776, for doing another awesome job with this chapter, you rock!

Hope you guys like it thanks for the favourites, follows and review you guys are awesome.


The next few days were, to be perfectly honest, miserable.

Lizzie was so happy that Jane and Bing were now in a good place but Jane just had that vibe that she wanted Lizzie to be as happy as she was and to Lizzie that just made her even sadder.

I missed my chance. Lizzie thought to herself one afternoon, when she was supposed to be working on her thesis.

He was in love with me, now he's not.

The only reason you saw him again was because he was wingmanning for Bing.

He doesn't care about you anymore.

All of these thoughts were floating around in her head, and she needed them to stop. She needed to do her thesis, not worry about William Darcy, but she couldn't. He had somehow managed to wiggle his way into her heart right after she seemed to have left his. She didn't even know he had until he had showed up at her house the other day. She knew that she might have liked him a tiny bit while at Pemberley but then again, which female employee (except Gigi) didn't. He was a great CEO, he was nice, caring, willing to listen to everyone and their thoughts, respectful, always looking to help out and not to mention handsome, oh and rich.

Lizzie only wished that she had found out about this side of Darcy before when he might have still liked her. Now, well now he couldn't even stay in the same town as her for longer than 24 hours.

I really have the worse timing. She thought to herself.

Lizzie then picked up her pen and started writing again.

Her thesis was almost complete and that meant job hunting, something Lizzie was not looking forward to.

But with some other good news Jane had received an job offer to be a buyer for a new fashion company in Boston, which was perfect since Bing was there at Harvard.

Lizzie again was happy for Jane but kind of jealous that everything was coming together for her.

About half hour later she heard the doorbell ring and a southern "I'll get it"

This didn't bother Lizzie, it was probably, her aunt, coming to gossip to her mother. She was vice president of the 2.5 WPF club.

To her surprise it wasn't her aunt, it was Catherine De Bourgh.

"Lizzie" her mother said quite sweetly. "Cathe…Ms De Bourgh here wants to have a chat with you. I told her that would be ok, right?"

Lizzie was shocked. The infamous Catherine De Bourgh was in her living room. And she wanted to chat with her. Why, though? What had made her come down from Collins and Collins to chat with her?

"Um ok, yeah, please sit Ms. De Bourgh" she said as she extended her hand towards the couch.

"Um, Ms De Bourgh would you like anything, a cup of tea? Coffee? Some biscuits?" Lizzie's mother asked.

"No thank you. I'm perfectly finnnnneee." Ms De Bourgh said in her usual disapproving tone.

Then Mrs Bennet left, leaving Lizzie and Ms De Bourgh to themselves.

It took a moment for Lizzie to realize that Ms De Bourgh was without her precious Annie Kins, this must be serious she thought.

"Are Charlotte and Mr Collins ok?" Lizzie asked, quickly, as she had no idea what she was saying. She had no clue as to why Catherine De Bourgh was here and the only logical reason was that something was up with Charlotte. Or Mr Collins.

"Oh they are finnnneee" was all she said.

"So where is Annie Kins, if you don't mind me asking? She never seems to leave your side." Lizzie asked, attempting and failing at making making small talk but she also wanted to know what had happened to her dog.

"I thought it was best if I left her at home. I would want her to well…. be exposed to this." She said as she indicated to the room.

Right, Lizzie thought, still the same of Catherine De Bourgh.

"Soooooo, Miss Bennet. Do you have any idea as why I'm here in your , uh lovely hommmee?" Ms De Bourgh asked Lizzie, as she looked around the room.

What is wrong with house? Thought Lizzie.

"Uh, no, I have no idea" she responded, truthfully.

"Ohhhhh you must be kidding me. Because I have just heard the most alarming news, that you Miss Lizzie Bennet, have been offered a job by none other than my own nephew, William. I know that this mustn't be true. Why on earth would he offer a job to you?" Ms De Bourgh said, as she looked even more disapproving than ever.

Lizzie, confused by what she had just told her, responded, "Well if you know that this mustn't be true why did you take the trouble of coming down here?"

"What do you mean by thisssss?" she asked annoyed

"Well it's just that you coming down here, kind of confirms this rumour." She said quite coldly.

"And you act like you nevverrr heard of this?

"Well I haven't until now."

"Okkkkkk and can you tell me that there is nothing to back this up?" Ms De Bourgh asked and for the first time since this visit she looked hopeful.

"Even though you ask these questions, Ms De Bourgh, I have the choice not to answer them." She stated not wanting to give her any satisfaction.

"Oh my, you annoying, head strong girllllll. Please just tell me, are you an employee at Pemberley Digital?"

"I am not."

"And will you promise me that you will never accept an offer therrrreee?"

"I will make no such promise."

Ms De Bourgh, was quite clearly angry now, so was Lizzie. What nerve she had to show up at her house and tell her what to do.

"Ohhhhhhhh" Ms De Bourgh said, as she looked like she had to think about what she was going to say.

"Now" Lizzie said hopeful that she could change this subject "Not that it is any of your concern but you have got an answer to your question; now we can talk about something different."

"Not so quick young ladyyyyy, there are a few thingsssss, I have yet to discuss."

"Yeah like what"

"Likkeee how your younger sister was imprisoned for drug possession, your family's financial troubles and most importantly you web videos where youuuuu on more than one occasion insulted my nephew and mysellllllf. Why on earth would William want to have you in his company? Is Pemberley to be thus pollllllluted?"

Lizzie had, had quite enough of this and was going to put an end to Catherine De Bourgh once and for all.

"Thank you Ms De Bourgh for giving your opinion on everything in my life. You have insulted my in every way, so I ask you to leave my house."

And without even a goodbye Ms De Bourgh stood up and left.

Lizzie was so riled up after this visit. She couldn't believe what she had just encountered. Why would Catherine De Bourgh show up at her house, just to know if Darcy had offered a job? Was it because there might be a chance that he was going to offer her a job?

This made her really excited; she loved Pemberley and really thought it was the place for her. But Gigi or Fitz hadn't called, or text or even emailed. So it mustn't be true.

Lizzie looked at the papers on the table. She knew she would never be able to complete them now. And it was also a Sunday and she had to record a new video.

So with that, she gathered up all of her stuff and headed to her room and she did not have a worry about what or rather whom she was going to talk about.


A/N: So Catherine De Bourgh, isn't she quite the charmer.

FUN FACT: Just thought it would help you guys to know that Catherine only watched Lizzie's videos about her and a few but NOT 60 or onwards about Darcy(she like owns a web company or something, she's busy). Just thought that would be her main concern, her and Darcy.

Please, let me know what you think about any of this. I always up to constructive criticism and hearing your thoughts, it makes me soooooooooo happy :)

Hope you're having a good day or night where ever you live :)
