Money Power Glory (Lena x G!P Reader)

Ch 38. Recovery Week 2 - Wednesday

Lena POV

Location: L-Corp

It's halfway through the week and the gala is near to come. Today is a light day, which is rare but I highly appreciate it since I'm working on finishing my speech for the upcoming event. Recently, (Y/N) and I have been texting a lot lately. I'm not sure if it's because after that enlightened phone call from Monday or she's just a real charmer on keeping a woman entertained. Either way, I don't mind. I like talking to the CEO of Lunar Industries.

"Miss Luthor, you have an unexpected visitor down in the lobby." Jess says through the intercom.

That's odd. Who can that be? Surely it's not (Y/N). Our last conversation on text was that she's going to be busy doing physical therapy with Lucy.

"Who is it, Jess?"

"Mr. Jack Spheer."

Why is my ex-boyfriend here? Yes I approved him on the guest list and sent out the invite of him coming to the gala but it's too early to be in National City. This is really unexpected.

"Send him up."

I quickly finished the ending of my speech and collected myself for his arrival. I used my laptop screen to check her flaws in my make up and then patiently waited. A few light knocks at my door and the dashing man comes in. We exchanged a quick hug and a warm smile before we took our seats.

"Jack, this is really unexpected or you. Why are you in National City so early?"

My ex-boyfriend throws that old warm smile at me and chuckles. In all honesty, I kind of miss him. He was so kind and gentle to me. He loved and cared for me so much that it pained me that I couldn't do the same for him. That was one of the reasons why we broke up. Another was that we didn't have the same views for the future.

"I'm here early because I want to spend some quality time with you. I miss you, Lena. I know that I shouldn't be barging in here and try to win you back. Especially, since after you broke up with James. But I'm here to maybe start over? From the beginning? Friends first?"

I stared at the man in front me. My eyes fixed on him for a really long moment because I didn't know what to say. Yes, he's not a terrible man because our relationship was not that bad but I don't know if I could commit to him. Surely, Lillian and Lex would approve of this relationship but can I approve this?

Jack was looking really hopeful but didn't want to break his heart again.

"Jack. I don't know about that. If we didn't work out before, what makes you think we'll be fine this time? You were upset that I came here to National City to build up a reputation for myself. You didn't want me to leave. You wanted me to stay in Metropolis and hold onto me as your arm candy."

"Lena. I was wrong. Yes, I was upset but I thought about it for a long time. I'm not forcing you to take me back. I'm just here to rekindle as friends. At least. Spheer Industries and L-Corp have been on good terms for a while now. Why don't we at least try to be on good terms on a personal level too?"

Jack really has a way with her words. Always putting out good points to make an excellent deal.

"Okay." I said.

"Perfect. Would you like to join me for dinner?"

Location: (Y/N)'s living space | Time: 5PM

Aubrie and I are watching some random TV series that she likes which I hardly have any interest in. I was about to fall into my nap until she spoke up.
