The day after. In the kitchen.
"You want some coffee Mr. Sullivan." asked Lex.
"Yes, and will you please stop calling me Mr. Sullivan." said Gabe to his young boss.
"If you want to, Gabe. Do you want me to prepare one for your daughter?"
"Do you even have to ask? I don't want her to steal big little sips from mine or your cup of coffee." said Gabe about his precious daughter.
"Does she always sleep late like this?" asked Lex with a grin on his face.
"Yeah. Like her mother she isn't a morning person. She already broke two alarm clocks in a month, she may not look like it but she is pretty strong when something is between her and her sleep." said Gabe drinking his coffee.
"Are you joking?"
"No. I don't really joke about 'morning Chloe', she's pretty grumpy like her mother and I. But today, I don't think she is going to be grumpy. She didn't really suffer of sleep deprivation. She better not bring this answer on the tip of her tongue." said a worried Gabe.
Lex laughed at this comment.
"What is so funny?" asked Gabe.
"She got this way with words from you hasn't she? You two make me laugh. Pretty much like father like daughter."
"We're you two talking about me?" asked a sleepy voice behind them. Both men turned their head to see Chloe in a silky blue pyjama. Her hair a flipping in the hair and her little hands rubbing her tired eyes.
"Yes, we were honey. Your coffee is ready." he said to his daughter with father smile.
With the coffee sentence, she hurried her steps to drink her 'good morning Chloe' potion.
"Thank you daddy." she said with a childish smile. She look like a satisfied cat who was going to eat some fish.
"Actually it's Lex who suggested." he said pointing his boss with his cup of coffee.
"Thank you Lex." she said with the same smile displayed on her face.
"You welcome. But since were all up, we should start talking about the mission. They are trying to put my corporation down by adding some substances in my products. And that's what we have to stop."
"Who are they 'the anti- Lexcorp crap factories'? Don't they have better things to do?" asked Chloe with a big frown.
"Yes the are and no because they don't know how to get themselves a life. There is Mr. Hardwick , Mrs. Bulla, Mr. Brown and Mr. Houston. I'm looking forward to find them nicknames so Chloe if you have a good idea."
"I have one for Mrs Bulla."
"What it might be?"
"Mrs. Bullshit." she said with a smirk.
"Do you know that you are suppose to work and not do some bad jokes, honey?" Gabe said with impatience in his voice.
"I'll have to agree with you, except on one point, you jokes aren't bad Chloe." Lex said with a gentleman's manners.
"You and your father will have to change your identities. You will still be daughter and father but with different names. Chloe your name is going to be, Emma Dauphin and you Gabe, Ferdinand Dauphin. You are French descendants but you two don't speak a word French, understand. Now there's the hard part. Chloe you'll have to change you hair colour into a more dirty blonde one. You'll have to wear expensive clothes and everything. You'll have to pretend that you are my new fiancée and make them think that you and your father aren't on my side but theirs. You'll have to be friends with Victoria Hardwick, Chloe. It's going to be hard but you'll have to play the game, she likes competition. When you and your dad see an opportunity to hack a computer system don't hesitate. Even if they put a lot of security on their computers they don't know how to use them correctly." said Lex trying to catch back his breath.
"You Ferdinand, will have to flirt with Mrs. Bulla don't worry it won't be hard because she flirts too. So you won't have the impression that you are working alone, there. I'm not saying that you'll have to go far. We both know what can be the end of a flirt, don't we?" asked Lex to Gabe winking.
"Yeah, I suppose you do." said Gabe.
It made Lex stop smiling a little bit. Because Gabe was certainly referring the flirt between his daughter and Lex. Chloe saw the exchange of looks and was concerned right away.
"Dad! Stop looking at him like this, it's humiliating! I know how much you want to enter in the character of Ferdinand but you don't have to start now." she said with a sweet accent.
"I really got you there Lex, didn't I?" asked a smiling Gabe.
"Yeah. You got me scared." said Lex.
"So when do I change my hair color?"
"At 12:00, which means in an hour and a half. You two get ready mentally. I don't want them to smell a trap."
"Will you stop underestimate us?" asked Chloe with an almost angry look.
"Yes, not that I have ever done that." he answered back.
"Maybe you haven't but I have to remind you something. We are here to help you, just fact this is enough okay! You don't have to put pressure on us! Especially not me!" she said to him with an irritated face.
"Chloe, honey, relax." said her dad, putting her thigh shoulders down.
"Sorry Lex, she has a temper." said Gabe, not liking the scene he just had witnessed.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * ** * * * * ** * * * * * * * * * * * * ** ** * * * * * 3 o'clock of the after noon.
The three of them got ready to go to a meeting where Lex was suppose to attend to. They were wearing expensive clothes and shoes. Even Chloe's underwear were more expensive that her computer.( I'm just talking about a pair of underwear, here!) She was wearing heels and she had classic hairstyle and make-up, which made her look like a twenty years old.
"Wow. Honey you look gorgeous!" exclaimed Gabe to his daughter.
"Ferdinand may I suggest that you stop wowing your daughter like this in front of them. You'll have to be hard with her, now." said Lex.
"Well, I suggest that you keep your mouth shut, my young man it's not because you have the attention of marrying my daughter that you have to call me by my first name." said Gabe with a lot of manners that left Chloe and Lex gaping.
"Dad, I'm impressed but also freaked out." said Chloe with a big smile.
"Daughter, stop smiling like this, you're disappointing me." he said with all the snobbism he could use.
"Stop it! Were aren't even there yet!" she said with a sad face.
"Sorry, honey. I like this! But don't worry I'm only acting like this because Emma has a really bad reputation concerning her relationships."
"Really? How come I'm not aware of that?" she asked Lex.
"You were having you hair colour change when Gabe and I were talking about this.. Anyway, Emma is suppose to be skanky and a real flirt. That's what makes Ferdinand ashamed."
"Oh." she let escaped.
"It means that you are basically almost always wanting to drive Lex to bed." said Gabe with a funny look.
"Dad!" she screamed with a horrifying look.
"Gabe, don't scare me and your daughter like this!" said Lex trying to stop thinking about Chloe being in bed with him.
"Sorry kids."

Gabe is funny isn't he? Don't worry. Gabe is not stupid at all. He sees the chemistry between his daughter and Lex. That's why he scares them like this with his jokes and comments. He is very cunning. That's why he accepted to help his boss.
