Cat wasn't angry or even hurt by the deception. She wasn't planning to fire Kara, either. The girl plainly loved her job, she wouldn't have put up with Cat if she hadn't. Superman had a day job, why shouldn't his much more attractive female counterpart have one too?
Besides, Cat liked having Kara around and she felt safer when the younger blonde was around (Even before she had known of Kara's secret identity.). Not that she would admit that to anyone, ever.
It was a comfort to pretend to be disgusted by those blinding smiles in the morning. It was good to come into work and have everything in perfect order already and everything be ready for her. Her candy dish was always stocked and conveniently placed between herself and the alcohol. If something happened with Carter, she didn't even need to ask before Kara was moving to assist and rearranged everything, even if it ended up putting more pressure on the assistant. Cat appreciated that Kara cared so much. She wiggled in her seat when that tingle came back.
"Ms. Grant? The car is here." the blonde poked her head into the fishbowl of an office with a half-smile and her pad in hand.
"Coming." Cat replies, draping her jacket over one arm and grabbing her purse.
-----//////-----
"Ms.Grant, I could always just wear a dress from home?" Kara's voice is awed as they pass through the racks to the changing rooms where Alison is waiting with a small selection of dresses for Kara to model for Cat, and the one that Cat had chosen for herself.
"Don't be ridiculous. I know how much I pay you. This goes on the company card." Cat scoffs, plopping her purse down as Kara waves to the shopper and the boss closes the door behind them.
She is surprised to see the two greet one another with hugs and Kara asking about the kids.
"You two know one another?" Cat is confused and she does not like to be confused about anything.
"Of course we do. Do you know how often you send me to pick things up from her?" Kara asks, eyebrows up to her hairline.
"We've gotten to know one another well over the past two years." Allison adds, hip-checking Kara who blushes and grins in a way that was usually only reserved for Cat. "I've been looking forward to dressing her up for you for a while now. It's like having my own Barbie dolls: Girl Next Door Barbie and HBIC Barbie."
"Right, well, do you have what I asked for?" Cat asks, coughing away her mild embarrassment.
Allison straightens into business mode, quickly followed by Kara, her posture changing drastically. Allison gets the slinky silver gown from the rack with Kara's choices and brings it over. Cat catches the sound of a sigh of admiration from Kara. SHe doesn't pay it any mind, all girls like Kara love the shiny.
In fact, she feels a smile pull at her own lips.
"Would you like me to help you into that, Ms.Grant?" Allison asks.
"You just want to ogle my ink again." Cat teases, the shopper and she went back too and the young redhead had obsessed over her tattoo.
"Maybe." Allison teases back.
"No, I'm okay. Go help Cara, I doubt that she can do this without falling onto her adorkable face." Cat grins in full force now that Kara can't see.
"You do know that you are allowed to like her, right?" Allison whispers before leaving Cat to her own devices.
Cat grumbles to herself as she undoes her blouse and enjoys the feelings of being about to put on an amazing dress. There's something wonderful about it that she just can't put her finger on.
"I have Kara ready, Ms.Grant." Allison says with a tap to her door.
"Quickly, Cat shimmies out of her skirt and slides into the gown, noting the pleasantly snug fit. Her heels go back onto her feet and she ties her hair back up onto the top of her head.
"There's something that you are going to want to see, Ms.Grant." ALlison whispers.
Cat unlocks the door and finds herself rolling her eyes again."
"I am perfectly aware of how attractive Kara..."she grumbles.
"Holy shit..." Is all else she can say as she takes in the sight of the young woman.
