Money Power Glory (Lena x G!P Reader)

Ch 16. Are You Sure?

The CEO arrived back at Lunar Industries in a timely manner. Anthony broke away from the two ladies and headed to the control/ security room. Sophia followed her boss to the elevator since her office is on the same floor as hers.

In the CEO's office space, her colleagues were waiting for her arrival, chatting away about their day and how they should approach their boss once she enters the room. Sooner than they thought, (Y/N) entered the room and went straight to her chair.

"So. How was your lunch date with the young Luthor?" Rex pops the question, not considering easing into the conversation.

(Y/N) throws him an annoying look and adjusts her focus on her laptop screen. "It was not a date. I told you before. Just friends and nothing more."

"Are you sure? It seems like you want something more out of the young woman." Jen states her observations.

"I thought you're both here to discuss business manners? Not my lonely love life!?"

The two backed off because they knew that their friend wouldn't admit anything about the young Luthor since it's still developing. Rex spoke up again.

"Ah yes yes. I just want to confirm if you're fully confident on going forward with project Zeus? It's a hefty amount of money to spend because the parts. We would have to use the black market to get most of the stuff we need. On top of that we need to hide our purchases from the government and your military family members."

"Yes. We agreed that it's a personal project that I want to pursue. No one will use it but me. Just send me the papers on what needs approval before purchasing."

"Okay. Though, I'm concerned that your family members might know about this. I'm more worried about General Ruel finding out."

"Everything will be confidential. No one will access the information besides the three of us. I do have a feeling that a certain government agency might snoop around or they might come up with a similar idea."

The CEO rocks her back and forth. Thinking how she needs to keep her personal projects confidential to the public and the government.

"We'll discuss it further more when the time comes. Jen, are we ready to release the oxygen masks for the medical workers?"

"Yes! I just need a few of your signatures. A good amount of hospitals are ready to invest. The Ramos siblings are going to take the lead on advertising our product since they're certified medical doctors."

(Y/N) continues to sign a few more papers for approval and budget costs on promoting. Rex discusses other plans and incomes. Once they are done, the CEO is finally alone in her office.

She takes her phone out of her pocket and stares at Lena's contact number. The woman is internally debating if she should message the younger woman but instead she places her phone face down on her desk.

She presses a button on her office phone to intercom Sarah, "Sarah, can you send a vast of flowers to Miss Luthor's office with a note saying 'Thank you for having lunch with me -(your initials)."

"Okay, Miss (Y/L/N). Is that all?"

"Yes. Thank you."

That same day, Lena comes back to her office and finds a flower arrangement on her desk after a tiring meeting with her board members. Lena looks at Jess for an answer but she shrugs her boss off and points at the note nearby the arrangement.

Lena stares at the flowers for a while before picking up the note. "Thank you for having lunch with me. -(your initials)."

The young CEO smiles at the small note and continues to look at the beautiful flower arrangement.

"Are you sure the CEO of Lunar Industries is not crushing on you? Wait. Are YOU sure that YOU'RE not crushing on her?" Jess questions her lady boss.

"I'm very sure, Jess. We're just starting a friendship that's all. Plus it's a nice change. It's not often to be on good terms with other CEOs in the area or in any city that is."

"Yeah but friends don't give them flowers the same day after a lunch hang out. Lena, you're a useless gay mess" Jess mutters out when she heads to the office exit.

Lena might have not heard Jess' remarks but she knows for sure that she has mixed feelings for (Y/N). She doesn't know if she should pursue this into something more but whatever happens, she'll let it play out.
