The Office Bet

Central City, Catco Worldwide Media…

My name is Felicity Smoak and I am just a normal human being. Just another citizen trying to get on with their lives. I'm an assistant at Catco Worldwide Media, to be more specific, I'm Kara Grant's assistant. 

Kara Grant is the adoptive daughter of Cat Grant, who is the founder and CEO of Catco Worldwide Media. Cat was looking to expand her media empire and she chose to build a station at Central City, home of the metahumans...and exciting headlines.

Now, unto the good and juicy stuff. Kara Grant has three suitors and the whole company has a bet about who will finally capture her heart and date her. Now let's introduced our contestants:

First off, James Olsen, a Pulitzer winning photographer, handsome, tall, has a lot of muscles, plus, he's Superman's best pal. What else can you look for in a guy?

Next is William Dey, a famous reporter all over the world, has an accent, average height but still has an incredible set of muscles.

Now our leading contender, Mike Matthews. He's just an IT here but goddammit he is charming. He is handsome, tall, very muscular but he's a lady's man which is a huge turnoff but I think Kara has him wrapped around her fingers.

I, for one, think that it will be Mike that will win. Everyone else thinks that it will be James but I'm super sure that Mike will win, I mean he's got the looks, the body, and I really think that Kara is fond of him. I got a buck riding in on him and I think that I'm about to have a huge payday.

Oh, how wrong I was.

One day, by completely sheer dumb luck, Kara's schedule is free and the three suitors are standing in front of Kara's glass office, each of them holding their own gifts.

James is holding a framed picture of Kara and chocolates.

William is holding a book, I think it's a book published by Cat and flowers.

Mike is carrying a bouquet of flowers and chocolates and as a cherry on top, he's using his goddamn charming smile.

Kara stood up from her desk and walked over to the three, wearing an amused smirk as her eyebrows arched up.

"A picture frame, a book made by my mother, flowers, and three boxes of chocolates? Have valentines come early, Felicity?" Kara asked, absolutely amused at the sight.

"No, I don't think so, ma'am."

Before anyone could say another word, the sound of the elevator opening on their floor caught the attention of the whole floor. A tall, skinny looking man walked out of the elevator, a beaming smile on his face.

"Hey, babe." The man greeted Kara before kissing her on the lips. Everyone's mouths were wide agape and the three suitors looked at the couple with hurt in their eyes, all three of them heartbroken. "How was work?"

"It was great. These three gave me gifts that I would very much like to keep and now that you're here, there's nothing more that can happen that will make my day better." Kara replied.

"Well, that sucks because what shall I do with these three boxes of potstickers?" Barry lifted a Chinese paper bag while Kara's eyes widened and an excited smile etched her face.

"You are absolutely the best boyfriend ever," Kara replied, giving him a quick peck on the lips. "We should head home and eat those potstickers." She didn't even wait for a reply because she was already dragging Barry to the elevator, leaving the whole office confused and three heartbroken men.

"What the fuck?!" I yelled out because that was some turn of events. "Well, at least we have enough chocolates for everybody." I commented as I snatched all of the chocolates from the boys.
