Hey guys, read, reveiw, and enjoy, please, if you will. :)

Caroline made herself a cup of coffee at the lounge. She needed it. As she waited for it to brew, Charlie walked in, looking aggrevated. She quickly wiped her tears away with the back of her wrists, hoping he didn't notice. But he did.

"Saw that." Charlie told her, going through the cupboards, muttering at it's dissapointing contents."What's wrong?" he asked, only semi-listening.

"Nothing." she replied in a soft whisper. Charlie rolled his eyes.

"Sure, sure. Carols, after twenty five miserable years, you cannot hide the truth from me." he said, swatting her on the head with a paper cup.

"Hey!" she barked.

"Dammit! Don't tell me we only have that powder shit for cream, I hate that stuff." he somplained, throwing the cup away."Fine, no coffee fore me."

"You can't take it black? You're not 'man' enough?" Caroline teased. Charlie shot her a warning look.

"Haven't you been paying attention all these years? I hate coffee, I just drink it for the caffiene." he FYI'd.

"Will's man enough." she told him, grinning.

"Well, that's one thing you two have in commen." he laughed. Caroline rolled her eyes, that was so lame, come one, she had boobs.

"Whatever." she mumbled, pouring herself a cup of hot black coffee."I take it black." she took sip and walked over to the doorway, then turned around and stuck out her tongue in a teasing manner."Wimp."

Back at her desk, she was going through her emails when Madison slammed a folder on her desk.

"What the hell?!" Caroline jumped, almost spilling her coffee. Madison smirked, tossing her auburn curls.

"Here's your assignment, Will told me to give it to you, because he didn't want to have the 'pleasure' of your company by giving it to you himself." Madison said smugly.

"He-"

"-and there's someone to see you, well, to see Will, but she has to go through you first. Poor thing." Madison added before walking away. She brought back Lizzie-ew-before leaving again.

"Hi Caroline!" she exclaimed with a bright smile. Caroline grimaced.

"Hello." she 'greeted' in a flat tone. "What do you want?"

"I need to see your employer, Will Darcy, please." she explained.

"Why?" Lizzie shrugged.

"I need to talk to him about this." out of her pocket she produced a diamond engagement ring. Lizzie was going to see if they could forgive each other and continue with their relationship, but Caroline had no idea. She was bubbling with anger and jealousy. How could this girl be so ungrateful?

"So he was being an incredibly nice boyfriend and you dumped him? You are so ungrateful, you are such a pig." Caroline snapped. Lizzie was so shocked her jaw dropped.

"Excuse me, Caroline, but that is none of your business." she said, taking a step back.

"Actually, it is my business because I'm his girlfriend." Caroline hoped that Lizzie couldn't tell that she was lieing.

"What?" Lizzie gasped. Caroline shot her a smug smile and placed her bony hands on her hips."I don't believe it." she whispered.

"Well you better believe it." Caroline spat.

"I thought we could talk things out, I still love him." Lizzie explained. Caroline paled.

"Oh shit." she thought.

"Fine, you know what? Who needs him? Here." Lizzie pressed the ring into Caroline's palm and turned to leave. Caroline stared in shock at Lizzie's retreating back. What had she done? Darcy would kill her when he found out.

"If he found out." Caroline smiled, she was safe. If she didn't tell him anything, how could he possibly find out? Right?

When Lizzie left, Caroline made way to Darcy's office, coffee in hand, to give him the ring, when she stopped suddenly. What if when she gave him the ring, he stopped pretending to be her boyfriend because there was no use? She couldn't let that happen, that would be disastrous, not to mention embarrasing!

"Yes, Caroline, did you want something?" Darcy asked her, stepping out of his office. She quickly looked for a place to hide the ring. She didn't have any pockets on her Gucci dress, and the choices were her coffee or the waistbasket, quickly, she dropped it in her coffee. Darcy frowned.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Er...sugar cube." she sputtered. Will gave her a strange look.

"Right." he said, walking away from her."I thought that we were all out, lemme see." Caroline panicked, she quickly took a sip of the coffee and threw the paper cup with the ring inside it into a waste basket that apassing janitor was carrying. She watched it go, she would never see it again if Dacy held her a moment longer.

"Can I get back to work?" she begged. Will's frown twisted into a more freaked-out expression.

"Uh...sure." he replied, shaking his head and walking away while muttering something incoherable. Caroline waited until he dissapeared around the corner when she broke out into a sprint after the janitor that was carrying some valubal 'garbage' in the wastebasket. She caught up to him on the first floor and yanked it out of his hands.

"Hey!" he shrieked in his Italian accentm a big black mustache over his lips."You give that back, lady."

"Oh, shut it." she snapped, digging through the garbage, annoyedly pushing her Armani scarf out of the way. She felt a tap on her shoulder, thinking it was the janitor, she shrugged it off."Go away." she muttered. After digging for a few more seconds she produced the ring and put it on, diamond side down, so that no one would see. She was maybe going to trade it for some cash, after all, it should be worth atleast a new Prada bag, right? She turned around and gasped, it wasn't the janitor who tapped her.

"Interesting hobbie you got there, Caroline."

Ooops! Lol, bad Caroline. Tell me what you think. Review please, I love them.
