3 days later, Lex calls me wanting to meet in his office again, so here I am standing outside his door pushing open the door. He's sitting in his chair. He looks up at me beckoning me inside
"why isn't the job done?" he asks a menacing look on his face "Haven't been able to find him yet takes time" I reply knowing damn well I'm lying through my teeth
"I hired you because you're supposed to be the best. must have been wrong" He says "I'll get the job done" I say "You better" He says I nod leaving heading to the daily planet
"Lia thought you'd be gone by now" Lois says "nope still on a job, just thought I'd drop by and see my big sis" I say taking the seat next to her desk
"Hey Lia" someone says from behind me, I turn and see my cousin Chloe. "Hey chlo" I say, standing up to give her a hug. We pull away and I see a tall man standing beside her
"Lia this is Clark my best friend" She says gesturing to the man beside her "I'm Aurelia this genius's cousin" I say sticking my hand out as he shakes it "you must be the third lane sister" He says
"That would be me" I say just as a guy walks in and I instantly recognize him "Eli, what are you doing here?" I ask as my boyfriend walks over.
"Do I need a reason to come see my girlfriend" he says, kissing my cheek. "No, of course not" I say as I see the curious looks on my cousin and sisters' face
"Lois, Chloe, this is my boyfriend Eli Miller. Eli meet my sister Lois, my cousin Chloe, and her best friend Clark" I say Eli steps forward, shaking their hands
"Nice to finally meet the two she can never shut up about" He says, slipping his arm around my waist "Have we met before, you look very familiar" Clark says, looking at Eli
"No I don't think so," Eli replies "Lia we're going out tonight you can't say no you, me, and Chloe" Lois says Knowing I can't get out of this I agree "Fine I'll be here at 8" I say they nod
Me and Eli head to our cars, agreeing to meet at the hotel I'm staying at. After we get there, we head inside to my room. "I forgot to mention Layla came with me"
"Great she can come with me tonight to meet Lois and Chloe" I say Layla is my best friend and Eli's assistant. We've been friends going on 2 years now
"Actually, I need her to work I've got a meeting with a high-profile client tonight" Eli says "Oh okay that's fine I'm going to go shower" I say walking to the bathroom
After a long hot shower I climb out getting dressed, "Do you want to order room service?" Eli asks "Yeah by the time it gets here, and we got done eating I can start getting ready" I say he nods looking over the menu before ordering our food.
"How long do you have here?" Eli asks while we eat our food "I'm not sure, this job is taking longer than expected" I say, not telling him the real reason why I haven't completed the job.
"I've got some things to handle here so we can stay until you get the job done" Eli says I nod checking the time "I've got to get ready" I say heading to my room I send Lois a quick text to see where we are going
"The ace of clubs" She responds a few moments later, deciding on a black low cut dress and heels I curl my hair before heading back to the living room
"Hey Layla" I say seeing her sitting on the couch "Hey Lia damn girl you got plans tonight?" She asks "going out with my sister and my cousin" I say as Eli comes into the living room.
"I've gotta head out" I say grabbing my purse and keys "I'll see you later babe" Eli says kissing my cheek I nod before heading out to my car driving to the daily planet where Lois and Chloe are already waiting
"Let's go girls I need directions I have no idea where this place is" I say "it's on the top floor of the satellite center in suicide slums" Chloe says
We arrive at the satellite center, taking the elevator to the top floor, walking in, we head straight to the bar, ordering drinks. "Now Lia, what took you so long to come see us?" Chloe asks, sipping her drinking.
"I've been going on countless jobs recently this one just so happened to land me here in metropolis" I say "Yeah, trying to take down the one thing stopping Lex Luthor from taking over the city" Lois says
"Might explain why he hired me to begin with" I mumble, "Lex hired you?" Chloe asks, I nod, downing my drink, "What's the job?" Chloe asks "I'm supposed to take down the emerald archer Lex wants him gone" I say.
"Yeah, because he's taking down all of Lex's labs where he's been conducting experiments on the meteor infected" Chloe says, "that's why he hired me?" I ask they both nod.
"Excuse me I need another please" I say to the bartender, the elevator dings alerting that someone is coming in. I see Lex, Followed by Eli, and Layla, Eli sees us at the bar a shocked look on his face.
"I didn't know you were going to be here" Eli says "yeah well I didn't know your high-profile client was Lex Luthor" I say turning away from him
Downing my drink once again, "I'm going to run to the bathroom" I say the girls nod climbing off the barstool I head down the hall just as someone walks out of the casino room
Turning away from him, I go to walk in the bathroom, "are you really going to ignore me Lia?" Oliver asks, I don't answer, pushing the door to the bathroom, but before I can go in, he grabs my hand.
"Lia come on, please let me explain. I never wanted to leave you" he says, "But you did" I say, pulling my hand from his grasp going into the bathroom leaning against the door I slow my breathing before heading back to the girls
"I'm going to go" I say, grabbing my purse. "I'll pick my car up in the morning" I say, heading to the elevator. I called a cab walking outside to wait for it. that same green glimmer from the other night catches my eye.
As I see Oliver standing on the roof across the street watching me, I catch his gaze, and we just stand like that until a honk pulls my attention to my cab. Giving him one more look, I climb into the cab, giving him the address
After getting to the hotel, I throw on some pajamas and wait for Eli. A couple of hours later, he walks into the door, seeing me on the couch. "Now you want to explain why you were meeting with Lex Luthor" I say.
He comes over sitting beside me grabbing my hand "I haven't been completely honest with you" he says "Then be honest with me now" I say, turning towards him "My name isn't Eli Miller it's Eli Luthor Lex is my older brother." he says
"You lied to me for over a year, did you know about this job about what your brother does?" I yell he nods "how could you lie to me like that I trusted you" I yell pulling my hand from his "you know what, I can't do this right now" I say standing up
Grabbing my purse, I called a cab. After it arrived, I gave him Chloe's address. Once we got there, I paid him and walked upstairs to her door, knocking lightly. I heard shuffling before she opened the door.
"Lia are you okay, what are you doing here" she asks pulling me inside where Lois is sitting on the couch "Can I stay here tonight?" I ask sitting beside Lois "Yes, of course you can, what's going on?" Chloe asks.
"Eli has been lying to me for over a year. He's Lex Luthor's brother" I say, laying my head on Lois's shoulder. "Aww, Li, I'm sorry" Chloe says, sitting beside me
"How about we watch movies and eat ice cream might make you feel better" Lois says I nod "I'll get the ice cream Lois you get the movies" Chloe says
We spent the whole night eating ice cream and watching movies before we all passed out
