Chapter 2
The next day
Chloe Sullivan typed furiously in the Torch office. Her green eyes intently skimmed her blue screen. The large, white, digital arrow slowly skipped over to the icon with a printer, and the sound of a machine was heard coming to life behind her. Scooping up miscellaneous papers on her desk, she sped to the printer and jerked out the final article. She stuck them all in a manilla envelope and jumped in her Bug. She wasn't sure what it was Lex wanted this information for, but he said if she did it he would having something to tell her when she got to the mansion.
The large glass and wooden door clicked open. The blonde reporter scanned the room and,
seeing no sign of her friend, turned around.
"Chloe." came the strong voice from the studio above Lex's office.
"Oh, Lex! There you are. I have the info you asked for." said she, brandishing the beige folder. Lex came down and stood before her.
"Thank you."
"What did you have to tell me?" He sat down behind his desk and sheafed through the papers.
"This is great information, Chloe. I have no doubt the Daily Planet will be calling you any day if you keep up work like this." She laughed.
"Right. And I have no doubt I could be writing for the Torch the rest of my life."
answered she jokingly, rolling her eyes. Lex grinned.
"Well, I have an appointment. I'm sorry. If you'll excuse me -" Chloe looked confused.
"Is that all you wanted to tell me? That you like my work?"
"Well-- I do." stated he, innocently.
"Oh. Okay, well, see ya, Lex. Thanks."
Pulling out of the expansive driveway, Chloe mulled over their conversation when her phone rang.
"Hello, Ms. Sullivan. This is Jon Michaels of the Daily Planet. When would there be a convenient time for us to meet?" Chloe, incredulous, silently mouthed the name "Lex" and a grateful smile plastered itself to her face.
Lex, still in his office, smiled thinking about the phone call Chloe had probably just received. He picked up the first article.
Felicity Rain Monroe. Certainly a unique name. Somehow familiar... It said her major was Chemical Engineering. That didn't tell Lex much since generally all of LuthorCorp's employees were majored in chemical studies.
He reasoned he was looking into this only because he wanted to know what the current projects his father was working on. ((And that's all...)) he reassured himself.
