Chapter Ten
Lex was sitting at his sitting at his desk in his office, working on his laptop when Michelle came in.
"Hey Lex!"
When Lex didn't return her greeting, Michelle said, "So what was the big urgency that I needed to come right on over here for?"
"Well Michelle," Lex slowly began " I am very much inquisitive to know why someone like you would pretend that you loved me and enjoyed spending time with me and the go behind my back and steal information from me and give it to my leading stock competitor."
At first Michelle looked surprised but then her expression to neutral. Finally she said, "It was my job Lex, you had to have figured that out."
"Of course I figured that out. Did you really think that I was that naive to not know what going on? If you haven't noticed I can afford many things, including security cameras," replied Lex.
Michelle, seeing that she wasn't getting anywhere, tried a different approach. "Come on Lex, can't we just put this all behind us and start over again?"
Lex closed his laptop, stood up and started to pace around his office. After a while he said "I haven't known you for that long, but you must have heard about the kind of person me father Lionel Luthor is. Well when I was growing up, all my father ever taught me to be merciless, he told me that I shouldn't forgive even the simplist mistakes. I try write my own firture, I really do, but it's hard when that was the way that I was raised up. Now why should I forgive youi for something that wasn't a mistake, and don't try to lie and say it was, because I know that you gave that information away on purpose."
Michelle just stood there stareing straight at Lex, not believing a word that she was hearing.
After a moment Lex simply said "It's over Michelle."
Michelle nodded, and then she walked over to the double doors to let herself out, but before she did "I'm sorry Lex, I really am."
