Chapter 20- All In The Family
"You must think whatever you wanted to talk about was pretty important or else you wouldn't have made the trip out here, so let's get to the point," Lex said walking into his study.
Lionel sat at Lex's desk, idly twirling a designer pen. "I heard that you are seeing a high school girl," he said.
"And you came to see if it was fact or rumor," Lex replied.
"Well, Lex?" Lionel asked.
"Fact," Lex said pouring a drink.
"How old is this girl?" Lionel asked.
"Chloe is fifteen, but I'm sure you already knew that," Lex responded.
"Did you run out of girls your own age?" Lionel asked.
"Girls my age tend to end up in bed with you," Lex replied coolly.
Lionel looked almost proud of Lex's response. "Are you the one who initiated this little relationship?"
"No, Dad. She did," Lex said, regretting it the moment he said it.
"I'm sure it wasn't for your money," Lionel said.
"Is there a reason why you're here?" Lex asked impatiently. "My personal life has never interested you before, why now?"
"You have never been associating with an employees' fifteen year old daughter before," Lionel retorted.
"And that bothers you why?"
"Business, Lex," Lionel responded as if it was the most obvious answer in the world.
"You're afraid that I'm bad for PR," Lex said thoughtfully. Truth was, Lex had the same fear.
Lionel only looked smugly at Lex.
"Do you have anything else, or are we through?" Lex asked sharply.
"How long have you been seeing this girl?"
"I have been dating Chloe for almost two months," Lex said emphasizing Chloe's name.
"Hmm. It will all blow over soon enough when she realizes who you really are," Lionel said standing up.
"And who is that?" Lex was almost afraid to ask.
"A Luthor. I'm your future, Lex. You'll always be my son, and you'll always be like me," Lionel threw at Lex. He waited to see the effect of his words sink in before turning smugly and leaving the study.
