(Lifts hands in surrender) Okay, fine, you guys did speak, and pretty loud so here it goes:

Pairing: Chlex

Don't stop reviewing!!!

A Woman to Trust

It had been a hell of a week. Her curiosity, as always, got the best of her and it was killing her not to know. After a look at Lex's face after leaving Samuel Hartridge's house, she knew they shouldn't ask, and they didn't. But even that hadn't kept her quiet. In her spare time she took to the task of investigating Samuel Hartridge and his connection with Lex's mom, she had to know something. Lex hadn't spoken to her ever since, or to anyone for that matter, so she had decided to stay away and find out what she could on the side. And she had found out a lot, but not enough.

Her hands attacked the keyboard senseless as she wrote her latest article. She was alone in the office, being one of the few that stayed extra hours to get to a deadline. Her concentration was such she didn't hear the main door open and firm footsteps walking towards her.

"Good evening Ms. Sullivan." The sound of a man's voice right behind her made her jump out of her seat. She turned to see who had surprised her so.

"Lex. Last person I expected to see." She quickly recovered and went on to feeling hurt, or at least making him think she was. "So, something didn't come out right and you came for old Chloe to help you? Wait, what was it that you told me last time? You trusted me, right, well for some one you trust I have been kept in the dark over the matter you specifically didn't want anyone else to get their hands on." She was rambling, Lex smirked, how was he going to get her to shut up?

"Chloe."

"Oh wait, or maybe you just decided I wasn't the one for the job, you could have at least given me a call, here I am going all out for you.." her ramblings were helping her get the frustration she had been feeling over not knowing for the last week.

"Will you please listen?"

She stopped, realizing how childish she had just sounded.

"Sorry, I didn't have a right to do that..." she managed out, working late hours always got to her and she ended up acting like this.

"And I didn't have a right to bring you in on this and then take you out with no further explanation." He pointed out.

"You make a fine point Mr. Luthor." Imitating the formality of his first salute, smiling easily now. "So am I back on the job? I looked up the attorney for you and came up with some interesting facts."

"Why am I not surprised." He smirked. "I didn't come here for that, I have that information as well, maybe we could compare later on."

"Okay, so why did you come then, just to apologize?"

"No, to ask a favor actually."

"Okay, shoot" she laid back in her chair and took a sip of her coffee.

"Will you marry me?"

Wait for next chapter - What?
