Hello! Thanks
so much Maria Grazia for having me today! I can’t wait for everyone to read
Unwrapping Mr. Darcy, but in the meantime, I have an extra scene for you. When
I first posted the prologue of Unwrapping Mr. Darcy as a sneak peek, someone
wished they knew what Charlie said to Lizzy to keep her from quitting on her
first day. I liked the idea so much, I wrote it. I’ve overlapped a little and
added some in so Darcy’s insult is in the clip. I hope you enjoy it!

Charlie
exhaled, sounding a lot like a growl. “You always make a point of meeting new
employees. Why are you being so stubborn about this one?”
Darcy slapped
the papers in his hand on the work surface. “I’m busy, Bingley. If you haven’t
noticed, I have a mountain of paperwork on my desk. I can’t be expected to take
the time to welcome a new company attorney—especially one who required her
sister’s boyfriend to get her the job. You hired her, Bingley. You make her
feel welcome.”
What?
Elizabeth gasped, they both looked up, but she backed from the door. She
couldn’t stay—not in his office and certainly not at this job! She walked as fast
as she could to the elevator. What a mess! Charlie insisted Darcy Holdings
needed her, but apparently, he created the position for her. She never asked
him for special treatment—after all, he’d been the one who bugged her for
months about “moving to the dark side” as he liked to joke. She touched the
down button, and thankfully, the door opened quickly.
Charlotte
wasn’t around when Elizabeth returned, so she went into the office where her
briefcase still remained sitting wide open on the desk. That would definitely
make things easier! She reached up over the computer, pulled down her calendar,
and threw it inside.
She certainly
wasn’t staying where she wasn’t wanted! Charlie had sworn they needed someone
with her skills. Why would he lie? She hadn’t been looking for a new job. She’d
been happy where she was, but working for Darcy Holdings was a move up she
couldn’t ignore. The company was larger than the law firm, and the position
held more room for advancement.
“Don’t you
dare put another thing back in the case!”
