The Lizzie Bennet Diaries

Here again on a weekend.

Charlotte and Ricky had to go to another meeting with Ms. de Bourgh,

something about a consultant, or business advisor?

They spend an awful lot of time in meetings with her,

and driving to meetings with her, and driving back from meetings with her...

So I get to use the big empty office while no one's around!

Sometimes you just have to kick off your shoes and run around like a little kid.

My name is Lizzie Bennet, and I can't remember the last time I laughed like that.

Things have been so tense lately. I'm not just talking about all the drama.

There's something going on here, hence all the meetings at Ms de Bourgh's

and this consultant they're bringing in to fix things.

The thing is, Charlotte is doing a great job, not that I'm surprised by that.

She's so brilliant. I was afraid this job would force her

to become an automaton suffering every random idea that popped into Ricky's head,

but she has figured out just how to handle him if he's being difficult or obtuse.

I wonder where she learned to do that?

Pretty soon this place will be called Collins and Collins... and Lu.

I'm so proud of her. - Hey Lizzie?

- Oh, and here she is. - Oh good, there you are.

Some people came back after the meeting, you should join us.

You mean the new consultant? Is that even a real job?

He's not a consultant, he's...

Well I should just stay here, and let you be a high-powered business lady.

Actually, I need you to come and talk to him.

He's expecting you, and we can't afford to alienate him.

Expecting me? The grad student who doesn't work here?

Who is this guy?

Seriously, who is it? Is it Ricky's Dad?

Catherine's third husband?

Some rich, super snobby...

No. No way! I mean, why would? What did?! How the hell?!

You know Ms de Bourgh is his aunt.

And the world only has fifty-five people in it!

She asked him to take a look at how things are running here.

She... asked him... to torment me?!
