The mansion seemed out of place in the small town. But due to its secluded are it seemed to hold the feeling haunted even more.
Kate Windtrop and her father steeped out of the limousine. They were greeted by some of the house workers of the house and lead inside. Kate looked at her father displeasingly.
Mr. Windtrop gave a sincere smile to his teenage daughter and shook her wrist knowingly. "It's for the best… me working here in…"
"Smallville. Dad! You can't even remember the name of the town. And it feels as if homicidal maniacs have planted their seed here."
"I assure you homicidal maniacs have no interest in this quant town. But I'm sure it can hold a few adventures… that's if you stay long enough." Lex smiled genuinely and shook hands with Mr. Windtrop.
"Oh, oh yes, yes we will."
"Great," Lex said clasping his hands together and motioning them towards the couch.
Kate look displeased. She was displeased. She didn't want to be here. Her first college year and she was here. Smallville. Shoot me before I die of boredom.
Lex and Mr. Windtrop began to discuss the works of their new partnership when one of Lex secretaries came in. Lex looked up annoyed by the disruption. "Yes."
"I'm sorry Mr. Luthor but Ms. Lang is here to see you. I told her to wait until I got word from you to come or leave."
Lex could see the shakiness of the secretary. He was proud that he could still put the scare in the stiff 'brit' from oxford.
"Excuse me for a moment please." Lex got up from the seat and headed towards the door with the secretary exactly three steeps behind him.
"Oh this is great. We get dumped because his girlfriend forgot that he was in a meeting. Dad, c'on. That's down right rude. We should just leave. Get up right now…" Kate was up from her seat looking down at her father for assurance that he agreed. She got none.
"Kate. Sit."
Kate flopped onto the couch. Her arms folded in front of her and her lips in a pout. "This sucks. And my mind is going to explode if I hear something technological or scientific or anything like I just heard one more time."
Mr. Windtrop smiled at his daughter. He sighed. He got up from the couch, his hand reaching out towards his daughter. "I guess I can…"
"Leave! Oh yes. Let's go."
Mr. Windtrop held her wrist and she stopped moving.
"I guess I can reschedule on more suitable terms for myself. I don't like rudeness." He necked his head at her. "However, Kate I am taking this job. I need this. And I need you to be here with me honey." His was voice soothing and understanding.
Lex entered the room accompanied by Lana; side by side. Lex stopped in front of the Windtrops.
"This is Lana and I thought she could show Kate around while we get back to our disscusion."
"I see." Mr. Windtrop said looking over Lana.
"Last name Lang right." Kate said with slight bitterness in her voice that no one caught.
"Yea." Lana looked at Lex for an explanation how the girl, seemingly the same age, knew her last name.
Kate caught this and continued. "Oh now Lex didn't tell, promise. His secretary came in saying that a 'Miss Lang' came to see him, interrupting our meeting and I just figured when you came in…" Kate didn't have to finish to make her point and catch a glimpse of Lana eyes shoot down in an apologizing manner before returning to stare at Lex.
"Lana wasn't aware that I had a meeting, so I'm sure…" Lex was cut off by the strict tone of Mr. Windtrop.
"She wasn't aware, I understand, but what's you're excuse Mr. Luthor. I don't like to arrange a meeting and be left aloof just because 'someone' didn't know you had a meeting. And second, I don't need you coming back with that 'someone' and making suggestions towards my daughters being. Mr. Luthor, I will get back to you if I decide to take you up on that job. Until then, good day."
Mr. Windtrop and Kate walked out of the office leaving a disbelieved Lex standing and Lana still feeling the after effects of the words said by Kate.
"Did that just happen?" Lex said in a whisper. Lana didn't hear it.
Kate felt giggle. Who's in charge, yep that's right my dad.
