Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters of this story but I do own the plot which I've only written to have fun.
A/N: This is a fic I began some time ago, it's a special fic... a friend, another mionel fan, gave me the idea of What would have happened if Martha and Lionel had met before the series plot... well... I changed it a little, so the fic story must be understood under the question of: WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF MARTHA AND JONATHAN NEVER MET IN UNIVERSITY... .. .
Destiny - 1
A little orchestra was playing a sweet melody as all the guests drunk and dance in that big living room of the Clark's mansion. It was their yearly Christmas party. All the renowned people of Metropolis were there… Also Lionel Luthor, a man who a few years ago was nobody, and now was a millionaire able to control everything.
From the stairs suddenly came a young red-haired lady wearing a long red dress and a diamond bracelet which matched with the rings that their hair covered.
"Who's here, Will?" asked Lionel to Mr. Clark as his eyes gazed her sapphires.
"She's my daughter" said William Clark "She's just came from Europe, I sent her there to continue her law studies with a master"
"So she followed your steps" said as he contemplated her descend from the heaven.
"Sure… she's going to be a great lawyer now that she's back…"
"I imagine that as great as you…" he stood on his tiptoes to follow her red-hair move among the crowd in the room.
"She'll be better than me… she's very clever… She graduated with the best marks… She's even better than any of my employees in the lawyer's office…" continued telling Mr. Clark without notice Lionel's game.
"Hi dad" said her when she finally reached them.
"Hello sweetheart… I love to see you finally here… Let me introduce yourself to…"
"Lionel Luthor…" said him taking her hand and leaving the touch of her lips on it "Nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you" she said removing her hand "I'm Martha Clark… but my father must have already told you, anyway…"
"Martha…" repeated Lionel on a whisper "He didn't said your name… it's really nice… like you look tonight…" said him.
"Thanks. If you excuse me, I'll leave…" said her walking again among the crowd.
"Come on… you like her… are you going to let her leave?" asked Mr. Clark.
"But…"
"She doesn't know mostly of the people's here… she's not going to meet anyone…" pointed William Clark as his hand pushed Lionel to the directions she left. He thought that if he could arrange a relationship between his daughter and the richest man in that party he would become the happiest man in the world.
"Mrs. Clark!" shouted Lionel trying to go out the crowd. Martha listened to him and offered her hand to help him. "I'm sorry… Your father told me that you've just come back, but… he missed talked about your future… Do you already have any work offer?"
"No…" said her as they talked to the bar "My father wants me to work in the office with him, but…" her steps stopped at the same time that her words.
"What?" asked him removing some hairs from her face to admire it better.
"Don't say it to him, please… I'm a little tired of do what he asks me to do all the time… Can you imagine how it would be if he employee me?"
"What if I offer to work for me?" asked him.
"Are you joking?"
"No… I have a company that has grown really fast and it stills doing… I really need some help…"
"I'm sure you have a full lawyer's office at your service…"
"I do… but they work for my company… I need someone to work hand in hand… like an assistance… someone able to help me with my decisions…"
"Someone to give you a second point of view…"
"Right that!" he exclaimed "Would you like to be her?"
"No"
"Why not?" he asked surprised.
"Because you haven't ask me any reference, any document… you haven't even tried to know my knowledge about big companies and you're already giving me a job!"
"Well… I just wanted to trust your father when he said that you would be better than him but… what if we meet tomorrow and I do a personal interview for the job?"
"I'm not sure…"
"Here's my office…" said him giving her a business card "I'll be waiting you at… seven o'clock… ok?"
"Ok" she answered taking the card.
"Oh… and Merry Christmas!" said him leaving her. And when he turned round he found a smile on her face, a beautiful smile able to hypnotize him and let him unconscious for a few seconds.
"Lionel… Lionel!" asked Mr. Kent once and again as Lionel had his look lost on the place where the young red-haired had been a few seconds ago.
"What's the matter?" asked him quickly.
"What's the matter with you, man!? You seemed to be sleeping… are you ok?"
"I think so…" he whispered sighing hard.
