The motorcade of several SUVs discreetly pass the large crowds of people in front of Lunar Industries' newly built building. All the media outlets are there from CNN, Hollywood Entertainment, Daily Planet, CatCo Worldwide Media, and many more. Limo after limo, guest after guest, you would lose track on who's invited. (Y/N) was putting all her attention out to the window, observing the large number of people outside with their fancy outfits and flashes of lights coming from multiple cameras.

"Are you nervous, boss?" Sarah pulled the CEO's attention away from the window. The assistant is sitting right in front of her with legs crossed and her hands on top of her lap.

"No. But you, pretty girl, seem to be nervous. Am I wrong?"

"Um. No. Not really" The assistant spoke lightly and was not daring to meet her boss's eyes for some reason.

(Y/N) wasn't content with her answer. She leans forwards and places a hand on the assistant's exposed knee for comfort. Sophia, sitting on the right of (Y/N) was minding her own business. Besides, she was too busy looking at the information on her tablet, checking which guests have arrived and checked-in.

(Y/N) starts to trace small circles with her thumb on the woman's knee. "Look at me, Sarah," she says firmly but not too aggressive to scare the assistant. Sarah looks up to her, feeling the small skin on skin interaction was making her cheeks warm pink.

"There's that pretty face I like to see. Now tell me what's wrong? I don't like it when any of the people, especially my girls, feel uncomfortable."

"It's really nothing, Miss (L/N). I'm just nervous around you and this event. This is the biggest event I've ever been to."

"Nervous around me? Do I make you uncomfortable?" The assistant looks at her with wide eyes.

"No no! Gosh no. That's now it!" The CEO hums at her.

"Come here and sit on my lap for a minute."

The assistant looked confused but she didn't want her boss to repeat herself. She did what she was told. She sits on her lap, (Y/N) quickly places a hand on her back and then another on her knee again.

"You shouldn't feel nervous around me, pretty girl. Yes this event might be overwhelming but don't hesitate to tell me during the event that you're feeling unwell. I'll excuse you from your duties. No harm found, okay?"

"Okay. . . Thank you, Miss (L/N)." She whispers out.

"Come here. Why don't you give your boss a kiss so that I can take away that nervous energy of yours?"

Sarah wraps her arms around the CEO's neck and doesn't hesitate to lean forward. The kiss started off slow but it grew hungry. Sarah couldn't help the feeling of wanting more, she starts to moan into the searing kiss. It felt so wrong for her but she couldn't stop herself.

"Boss. We're here" Anthony announced. (Y/N) breaks the steamy make out session that was supposed to be just a simple kiss. The CEO placed a kiss on Sarah's neck. The assistant felt horny yet disappointed. How could one kiss affect the woman so much? Maybe that's how Sophia feels around their boss, unable to shake the feeling of wanting more from the CEO.

"Okay. Let's go."

*******

The Luthors, Sam, and Eve step out of the limo and the flashing lights invade their faces. The interviewers shout their names from left to right, wanting to get scope about L-Corp and their thoughts on Lunar Industries new branch here in National City.

The group ignored them and just stayed on the black carpet for a couple of pictures. As the group waits for their turn to get inside the building, Lena sees several security personnel blocking the entrance. Each of them holding a clear glass tablet to scan everyone's faces. All the face scans have full public information of the person and go through the database to the control room in Lunar Industries and to Sophia's tablet.

"That's an interesting way for people to get inside the gala," Sam says.

"I find it genius. Easier to find threats" Lillian comments back.

"I wonder what other tech gadgets they have to show" Lena adds on.

-Bang Bang by will.i.am-

The L-Corp group finally got inside and took in the environment before them. The party stretches from the inside and out to the courtyard. People dancing under the stars and others mingle with high pitch laughters. A room filled with important people from prime ministers, business investors, government officials, and the owners of media outlets. The group is amazed how a large ballroom can fit in this company building and also had the time to plan out a courtyard as well.

"Looks like we have all kinds of people here. The good and also the bad." Lex points towards a certain group. Lena scans the room with careful eyes until she spots Veronica Sinclair, Maxwell Lord, Morgan Edge, and Ben Lockwood huddled in one group. Looking farther more, she sees Harley Quinn and her group of girls going crazy over the free drinks the event was handing out to all the guests.

"The cousins are here. Bruce Wayne and Kate Kane" Sam states. Even though Wayne Industries and L-Corp are in two different cities, the two companies are still competitors to each other.

"Well, children. I'm going to mingle with some old colleagues of mine. I see Jeremiah and Eliza Danvers over there. For now, all you must behave please." Lillian walks away with a champagne glass in hand.

Lex looking at all three women, "well ladies, what are we waiting for? Let's go out there and mingle shall we?"

********

(Y/N) stands by the one way mirror windows, watching the people mingle from down below. Instead of being out there, she's in the control room monitoring everyone's movements with hands behind her back. Security studying the information they're receiving from the front entrance while others were keeping an eye on the monitors to find any potential threat.

"I don't understand why your cabinet members invited these bad influences? What if something goes wrong?" Anthony says while looking over at the face scans and information on the given tablet. Swiping picture after picture.

The CEO didn't bother to turn around to face her most respected bodyguard on the team. Instead, her eyes were fixed on the L-Corp entourage who just passed through her company's security team.

"Don't worry, Anthony. I voted no on inviting these kinds of people and how it would affect her image. Yet a good amount of members wanted them to come" Ben replies.

"Well that's because we need these people someday. Why only have the good when you can also have the bad?" Rex spoke in. For a minute, (Y/N) forgot that her entourage are up here with her, waiting to make their presences known down at the gala.

"Everyone is almost here, Miss (Y/L/N)." Sarah brings her boss' attention back to the group. The CEO turns around to look at Sophia for a report, "maybe about 15 minutes we'll start. Until then, why don't all of you have a few drinks in?"

She nods to her executive assistant and grabs a glass of chilled whiskey from her other assistant's small hands. She drinks it in a rush and Sarah was already on her feet getting a new glass to serve.
