The Sudden Melancholy of Diana

She had been coming quite a lot lately

That calling it a daily occurrence would be a major understatement

I utter to myself as I was typing some coordinates in the batcomputer. After that whole fiasco with Mr. Freeze, I'm not taking any more chances

I could've done this a whole lot faster last month, or last week, even yesterday

If it wasn't for a certain Amazon coming over every day to keep my mind off things, then I probably would've been way more productive

And how can I forget that we had planned to go fishing tomorrow, which means I officially have no time to finish this the next day

Suddenly, a beep from the speakers caught my attention, It was Alfred

"Sire, I'd be happy to let you know that you'll be having a guest tonight"

I heaved out a sigh upon hearing this. As if a mere big distraction wasn't enough, now I have to tend some people

"Cancel it Alfred, I'm quite in the middle of something here" I responded

"But sire, you might want to take this certain individual seriously" Alfred spoke through the speaker

I was on the point on muting the speaker at this point if it wasn't for my utmost respect for my butler, then I would've done it sooner

"Who the hell is it?"

"Vicki Vale, sire"

My eyes suddenly widened on the spot upon hearing that name. She's Gotham's most prominent reporter that has quite the connection to the whole industry itself

Declining her would certainly add more suspicions for sure. My alter ego had been quite in turmoil lately due to a certain suspicion that led me to be the main interest.

Hopefully Lucius isn't as stressed as he is nowadays, and now this. I remember him mentioning how reporters would bombard the company everyday in quest of asking some crucial questions

And now they found me also, the main proprietor of it all. Either ways, I can't let the suspicions grow any more further

And so I stood up to my feet and stretched every muscle in my back after a whole 3 hours of sitting. I fell down to the floor to give some pushups to arch my back and biceps that had been quite tense

I have to make this quick as possible if I want to finish the investigation that I was doing. As I finished my last rep, I stood back up and spoke through the communicator

"I'll be right there, Alfred"

xXx

"You're looking well today, Bruce"

"Likewise, Vicki.."

And there she was, the woman who was the power to make all Gotham squirm with information, false or not

Also the woman who had been lingering on my affairs lately with the whole Batman fiasco

"I presume you were doing your company work?"

"You have no idea" I responded sarcastically

"Oh... I see"

I could see Alfred giving me a look of disdain from afar. He could've noticed a blunder of some sort that I barely did

Vicki adjusted her nice wool brown waistcoat tucking inside her white dress shirt. Her cleavage was almost showing with three buttons down under

What is she trying to do? She barely shows skin like this in TV or in public
