Money Power Glory (Lena x G!P Reader)

Ch 54. Meet the Luthors

 Friday

Before the day started, Lena gave a friendly reminder to (Y/N) about their dinner evening plans which she promised to not forget. The day was going well for both of them. Lena only had to attend a few meetings and the rest of her day was spent in the labs.

(Y/N) on the other hand was tiring herself out. Her meetings were still back to back. She just finished a virtual conference with the French board of Lunar Industries. They have been pushing (Y/N) to either move to France or pick a CBO soon. Their CEO did not give them a solid answer and simply said "There is still plenty of time. Until then, I will still review the candidates for the new branch and if none fits for the position then I'll move my leadership to France."

Looking at the time, the CEO has another 2 hours before she leaves to get ready for dinner and pick her girlfriend up. (Y/N) thought about going back down to her private lab to work on Project Zeus for a bit but she went against the idea. She thought about how it might be unsafe to work on it due to the recent hack incident. Anthony and Robert are still investigating the digital tracks of the hacker and hoping they'll get a lead.

"(Y/N), Miss Kim requests to see you. She said she has some paperworks for you to approve and sign." Sarah says through the phone intercom.

"Send her in." The CEO sighs.

Within a few mins, Allison walks in with three folders in hand and stops right in front of (Y/N)'s desk. She wasn't sure if she's allowed to sit in one of the seats nearby. She waits for (Y/N) to give her attention away from the computer.

"Good afternoon, Miss Kim. Is everything alright?" (Y/N) says with not much energy.

"Yes. Thank you for asking." She places the three folders on her boss' desk. "Here are the charts and data for Project Arkangel. The Arkangel has been running smoothly and we're close to launching it."

Project Arkangel never sat right in (Y/N). She honestly never wanted to build it because it's use doesn't seem right. Arkangel is a controversial surveillance tool that can be implanted into a person's head and can be controlled on a tablet or computer. Arkangel is designed to implant hundreds or possibly thousands of people's heads but it's not capable of controlling a person's action or behavior.

This is only meant to be used in the military. Her Uncle Rule wanted (Y/N) to build this and expected her to finish it when she got control of Lunar Industries. The pros of Arkangel was that whoever is in control can track any of the implanted soldiers on the GPS, view the world through their perspective, and browse through their collective memories. All for military purposes.

But still, (Y/N) doesn't like it.

The CEO looks through all the data and notes for Arkangel while Allison stands there and keeps her mouth shut.

"Allison. I want you to archive Project Arkangel. I will not work on this any longer due to personal reasons. Immediately, I want the implants of the participants to be removed and trashed. I want you and other scientists to destroy the prototype of the program and any of the implants made." (Y/N) says in one go.

Allison looks stunned from what she just heard. She doesn't understand why her boss won't continue the almost finished product. She knows that the General would be pleased to hear that this project is close to being done and will be soon launched by next month.

"But Miss (Y/L/N). We're so close to being done and this can help our military. This can be useful for critical missions and-"

"Enough, Allison. I don't want to hear it. I will deal with the General. Please, do what you're told." (Y/N) fires back, not wanting to listen to her reasons.
