CHAPTER 4
Lena Luthor had one of the best interviews of her life, well this was the only one she enjoyed giving answers to. The reason was a particular young blonde who intrigued Lena very much.
Not only they did the interview, they managed to get off the topic (L-Corp and its projects) but they talked about sorts of stuff people who are friends would normally do. This was different for Lena, she never had a friend. She doesn't know what the meaning of it is but somehow she wanted to be friends with Kara Danvers. The dark haired woman had no idea how to even begin friendship with Kara. She had no phone number or e-mail address but she knew the blonde girl worked for the CatCo magazine.
Another night passed as she entered her apartment and founded nothing but the emptiness and silence. Lena closed the front door and put her keys in the bowl on the nearby table. Her apartment was very modern and it consisted out of grey and silver tones. She had no personal photos of her and family. Lena wasn't in good terms with her mother, they despised each other. Her mother Lillian Luthor always adored Lex more; after all he was her biological son. When Lex lost his way and began his fight against Superman Lillian joined her son in this battle against aliens right after he was killed by Superman himself. Lena knew her mother was bitter and angry but what she didn't know was that she is secretly behind this criminal group called Cadmus. Lena was never happy as a child and she suffered most of her childhood being an outcast in her own family was tough.
She walked to her living room and turned on her TV, at least the silence would be gone once the sound fills the room. Then she proceeded to her bathroom as she undressed herself and stepped into the shower. Her shower was long; she needed to relax between what happened she deserved to enjoy the hot water pouring down at her back. Carefully she stepped out of the shower and dried herself with towel. Walking to her room with towel around her body she pulled her silk pajamas from her night stand.
Lena was now sitting in front of the TV, switching back and forth. Nothing was interesting so she decided to turn it off and go straight to bed. She was lying on her back staring at the ceiling.
The CEO tossed and turned but eventually she managed to fell asleep.
"Miss Grant!" – Kara exclaimed as she entered her office.
"What? What is it Kiera? Can't you see I am on the phone with my mother? I am going to hang up she's been ignoring me for the last 10 minutes." – The blonde hung up and looked at Kara demanding an immediate response for the interruption.
"I did it Miss Grant. I got the interview with Lena Luthor; I left the copy on your desk before we run it." – Girl was so happy that her happiness annoyed Cat Grant. The woman put her reading glasses as she went through the paper.
Kara was impatient and by looking at her boss she didn't know if she was going to run it.
"Okay. It is good Kiera. You did great job. I want it on page 6. Discuss with James about the photos he will use. I trust in his choice. Now leave me alone I have a terrible migraine."
Kara bounced off happily and went straight to James where they discussed about the article.
"So, Kara how was Miss CEO? Is she scary as her brother or even worse?" – James chuckled as he sorted some images around the table.
"No, she is very sweet person. I think that she really wants to do well for her company and people that work for her." – Kara smiled at her friend thinking how she was never going to see Lena again. Well she had no good reason or excuse to come and see her.
She hoped that maybe they'll meet one day accidentally so that they can talk. But nothing seemed to be in her favor.
"Yo, Kara the article is ready so first thing tomorrow morning we will have your first story published." – James high fived Kara as she took too much force and nearly broke James's hand.
"Ouch! I told you to work on your strength Kara." – Kara made an apologetic face as she stepped forward to hug James.
"I am sorry James. It is just… that I am so excited and proud of myself. Uuu, and tomorrow we are having drinks after work. Alex, Maggie, Winn and Mon-el will be there." – She rushed out of the office after James's approving nod.
Those blue eyes were smiling at her first interview. She was holding the magazine in her own hands, still in mild shock that she actually wrote the article. And yet there was picture of Lena; blonde took a deep breath as she looked at the dark haired woman. Her smile was mesmerizing and Kara somehow wished she could talk to the woman.
"Okay, you really need to answer when people call your name Kara." – Winn said as he took the blonde by her shoulders and shook her.
Kara spun around in her chair as she clenched the magazine. Winn just smirked at her, he knew Kara's mind was elsewhere.
"Daydream girl, if you were here on Earth you would notice that there is a certain lady in the building." – he shielded his mouth as he whispered to Kara.
Kara frowned as she looked up and saw Lena Luthor at the reception desk talking to Susie. Kara's heart rate increased and she remembered she could use her super hearing.
"Excuse me could you maybe tell me where can I find Kara Danvers? I need to talk to her." – Lena smiled at the woman.
"Just go through that door and her work station is right next to Miss Grants office. You cant miss it." – Lena politely smiled and thanked the woman.
"What? Oh my God! No, no, no!" – Kara panicked as she looked where to hide.
"Hey, silly head! What's wrong? I… Okay, now I get, you are hiding from Miss CEO."- Winn pointed Kara to hide under her desk.
"Please hide me, what am I going to tell her?" – Winn pushed her under the desk and blocked the way with his chair.
Lena was looking around, her eyes searching for Kara. She found her desk but it was empty. The woman cleared her throat just to get Winn's attention. The nerdy looking boy turned around and looked at the woman.
"Hello there! I was looking for Kara Danvers, do you know where I can find her?" – Winn tried to come up with something and he couldn't say a thing. Kara was now under the table and pinched Winn by his leg.
"Aaa! She, she. Well Kara is not here"
"I am aware of that. Can you tell me where she is?" – Lena was amused by Winn.
Kara pinched him one more time. Winn almost jumped from his chair. He was in pain so his voice was high pitched.
"Donauts! She went to buy some donauts." – he exclaimed forming red color in his face.
Lena frowned at the boy and looked at him skeptically.
"Are you okay?" – Lena looked at Winn with concern in her face.
"Good. I am all good. Nothing to worry about." – He nervously smiled.
"Can I leave my phone number for her? And can you tell her she calls me?" – she handed Winn her visit card with her private number.
"I believe I can trust you…" – she looked at him smiling.
"Winn Schott, at your service." – he took her card and smiled at the woman.
"It was nice meeting you, Winn. Goodbye." – she headed towards the elevator and Winn exhaled moving with his chair so Kara can come out.
"Thank you, thank you Winn. I owe you big time." – Kara was now up as she adjusted her glasses. Winn looked at her friend- she was all confused and nervous.
"You are going to tell me why you were hiding from Lena Luthor."- Winn crossed his arms and leaned deeper in his chair.
"I don't know. I just got scared, she is so powerful and I… I am… - Winn cut her off "You are Supergirl, don't you ever forget that. And why would you be intimidated by a Luthor?"
Kara was about to answer when Winn cut her off "You don't need to say anything, here is her card and call her. Maybe she wants to talk to you about the article."
Blonde girl chuckled and looked at the number that was written. "It is her private number, she could've easily give her office number." Kara smiled as she saved the woman number in her phone.
