Two for you Glen Coco! The second chapter of the day and the final planned chapter of this story. Short and sweet but I hope you enjoyed a somewhat cannon look at Darcy's perspective of the Lizzie Bennet Diaries.
The door opened with a crash. "Why are you here?"
Darcy looked up from his desk and raised his eye brows at his sister. "Hello Gigi. How was Austin?"
"Don't be evasive William. You told me you were going to go visit Bing this week. You know, at Netherfield?"
"Something urgent came up here."
Gigi stormed over to his desk. "The CEO card won't work for you now. Hannah already told me things were fairly calm at headquarters this week. Nothing you couldn't have handled from the road."
"I wish you wouldn't meddle in my affairs Gigi."
"Tough luck buster."
Darcy let out a quiet sigh. "Well, Netherfield isn't really a feasible location to visit Bing anymore seeing as he's currently in New York City with Jane."
The scowl vanished from Gigi's face replaced by a huge, fan girl grin. "Really? Is it in the videos? I'm so behind. I haven't really watched since the episode after Valentines Day."
"You should catch up," said Darcy, happy the heat was off him. He wished she would leave him in peace. He had honestly been staring at an email from his head of HR for an hour.
The shadow and internship supervisor wanted to offer Lizzie a position at Pemberley Digital in the content development group after she completed her degree. William was both thrilled and horrified. He would love to have Lizzie here, at Pemberley, bringing her bright mind to the company's work and her bright eyes to its halls. But if she did work here, he was unsure the ethical lines of a CEO, even a young one, dating a new employee. That was just one of the things keeping him from Netherfield. He wasn't afraid of an empty house. He was afraid of making her choose between him and his company, not knowing if she'd want either... or he only dared to dream, both.
His thoughts were interrupted however by his sister who hip bumped his chair out of the way as she reached for the keyboard and typed in the web address for Lizzie's videos.
"Didn't you once say you liked your desk?"
Gigi hit play with a flourish. "I do! But yours is closer."
Darcy shook his head, fondness for his sister wiping his mind and settled in to rewatch the most recent episodes of The Lizzie Bennet Diaries for what must have been the 50th time.
I hope you all enjoyed this story! I enjoyed writing it. I find it much easier to write from Darcy's perspective than Lizzie's. I hope you feel I was honest to his character.
There is a slight chance I will continue the story if inspiration strikes but for now, I am happy to let it rest here.
Please remember to review and let me know your thoughts.
Best,
Melissa
