Enjoy! Review please!
Review please! Thanks! Merry Christmas!
She sat waiting in the back of the restaurant, eagerly watching to see the disgusted expression cross Darcy's beautiful features when he finds out was "Lizzie' stole. The waiter strolled over to their table with the mask, and the idiot had the nerve to hand it to Lizzie.
"Lizzie, I'm so sorry to interrupt you, but a woman over their said that you might like to steal it?" the waiter, William Collins said with a smirk. Mr. Collins was the owner of the restaurant, but since a waiter called in sick, he had to fill in.
"Oh, who, pray tell?" Darcy asked confused. Mr. Collins laughed.
"That broad over there." he pointed to Caroline, who's eyes were the size of saucers, and who looked like she was about to throw up.
"Oh, her." Darcy laughed. Elizabeth raised an eyebrow.
"Isn't that Bingley's sister?" she asked him."I believe I met her once."
"Yes, I have the misfortune of working with her." Darcy nodded.
"Why would she want to do that?" Lizzie asked him, pointing to the mask.
"Who knows Lizzie my dear." Darcy retorted with a chuckle."Just who knows?"
"Payed me two hundred, too." William Collins walked away with a chuckle.
"Oh Caroline!" Darcy called her. Caroline's face paled, the waiter was a stupid cheater. Her mouth felt like it was full of sawdust, and her feet made of lead. She slowly made her way to them.
"Have a seat." Darcy told her with a smirk. Lizzie flashed her a charming smile, to which she answered with a 'charming' grimace.
"Yes Will?" she asked quietly.
"I am your employer, and you will call me Mr. Darcy until five o'clock when office hours are over, then you may not call me anything as I highly expect you not to talk to me, is that clear?" he retorted firmly. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Lizzie bite her bottom lip to suppress an amused smile.
"Transparently." Caroline responded quietly.
"Good. Now if you wanted to join me that badly for lunch, you could have just told me, instead of stalking me in a cab, watching me from behind the restaurant's fountain, and trying to get my attention with this devious plan of yours." Darcy gestured at the mask which was back in it's place.
"You noticed?" she then added in a seductive whipser."Mr. Darcy."
"Duh." Darcy gestured to Lizzie."May I introduce you to my girlfriend Elizabeth Bennet." he gestured to Lizzie. Caroline choked on the oxygen she just breathed in.
"Girlfriend?" she squeaked. Darcy nodded, gazing at Lizzie with a dreamy smile.
"Nice to meet you." Lizzie told her with a smile, and held out her hand to shake. Caroline decided to change her tactics, she stared at her hand as if it was dirty and covered with leper spots.
"Oh, Eliza."she began, looking at Aurora's clothes."Judging by the inexpensive clothes you are wearing I believe that your family's economy has not improved much." she said with a triumphant smirk. Lizzie's face fell, and Darcy glared at Caroline.
"Caroline that is enough!" he hissed though his teeth, he then stood up, and grabbed her by the arm, escorting her out of the restaurant.
"Wait here." he ordered, and went back inside. After a few minutes he came back out and hailed a yellow taxi cab. "Get in!" he snapped.
They drove in silence, staring at each other, one with disgust, and the other of pure admiration. When they got to their work, he grabbed her by the upper arm and roughly pulled her out of the taxi, into the elevator, and into his office. He shoved her in, closed the door, and sat-leaned on his desk.
"Would you mind telling me what's going on?" he asked, from his perch on top of his desk, watching her as Caroline fiddled with her Gucci bag.
"Nothing, I just stopped by at the restaurant too. I had no idea that you were going to be there." she lied, duh. Darcy rolled his eyes.
"I see that we now must make things difficult." he let out an irritated sigh and slid off of his desk.
"What are you trying to say?" she asked, not sure if she wanted to know his answer. Darcy muttered something under his breath, then turned to her.
"Miss Bingley, I know what you were trying to do, and I do not appreciate it. You will be suspended from work for the following three days." he spat out sternly, holding up three fingers.
"But sir, I...." she started. Will raised his hand.
"You are dismissed Miss Bingley!" he snapped, sat down on his revolving chair, and swiveled away from her, his back to her. Caroline sighed. She had no choice. What more could she do? She let herself drown in the humiliation of her backfired plan.
