Suzette really wasn't one for moping. But breaking away from Lex hurt. And it hurt a lot. So she was spending a lot of time with Clark, much to the dismay of Lois.

Day three of hanging out with Clark and Lois. Clark had gone out to get pizza and Suzette and Lois were quietly watching a sitcom. Lois kept sighing and Suzette looked over to her.

"Something wrong, Lois?" Suzette asked.
"No." said Lois passive-aggressively.
"Aw c'mon, you can tell me. We're friends right?" Suzette prodded.

Suzette's blood ran cold. She fought back tears as she backed away from Lois. She grabbed the doorknob.

"I'm sorry, I really am." Suzette opened the door and ran out, not bothering to close it behind her.

She took a deep breath and knocked. After a minute or two, Lex opened the door.

"Suzette? Hello..." he said, eyeing her carefully.
"Hi...I know you don't want me here, but Clark and Lois don't like me anymore. And I'm just kind of lonely. And I know I'm your employee, but I miss your friendship. I miss you..." Suzette looked him right in the eyes.
"...Lex."
