“Did you like your Christmas present?” she asked.

Lizzie furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. “Present? What do you mean?”

Georgie, now, look confused as she mentioned hesitantly, “The necklace from Will. He said that you looked absolutely lovely when you were it to Charlie’s Netherfield Gala.”

Widening her eyes, Lizzie’s jaw slightly dropped as she shifted her gaze to across the room. She stared at Darcy who was talking to her uncle on a loveseat, presumably about the differences in the economy between England and United States. Lizzie looked back to Gigi, absolutely rendered speechless.

Darcy bought that necklace for me? Lizzie thought, as her fingers automatically went to her neck, where the necklace had been adorned the night of the Netherfield Gala.

“That’s why he asked about the necklace,” she whispered as she spared another glance at Darcy, who was now looking in her direction. She quickly turned her head, her face flushing from the embarrassment at being caught. Now, all she wanted to know was more about that necklace.

“England is an extremely large place. Why would I ever see him here?” she thought to herself. She continued to glance at the landscape outside, admiring the valleys and hills crossing each other as their car weaved on the trails amongst them. She had read up a lot on the Peak District and was particularly excited to see her aunt’s hometown and the nearby estate, Pemberley.

 When she had researched about Pemberley thought, a mere five miles away from Lambton, she had come across the owners of it – the estate had been passed down generations after generations in the Darcy family.

 While Lizzie was worried about crossing paths with Darcy in London, she was absolutely anxious and apprehensive about possibly crossing paths with him in Pemberley. When she had learned that Pemberley was indeed William Darcy’s estate, she had finally mustered up the courage to google him. Not that it had tempted her before.

 She found out that he had three firms in total, the central firm in London, one in New York and one in Orlando. He had graduated from Oxford with a law degree. He also had the Darcy family business which was in the hotel business. The Pemberley Estates, named after his own family estate, was a multimillion international hotel chain, which was now owned by him and Richard. He also had a younger sister, Georgiana Darcy, who was now completing her A levels and who will be taking over the family business after she graduates university.

 After reading up on Darcy, Lizzie felt shocked at how famous he and his family really was. She had to admit – she never knew that his self-worth was as much as it was. And to be loved by such a person? She shook her head, unable to even fathom having a relationship with such a man. Not that it matters, she thought. He probably hates me for everything I said to him. Which decent man wouldn’t?
