Money Power Glory (Lena x G!P Reader)

Ch 45. It's All About Timing

Happy Thanksgiving! Chapter is a bit lengthy. Next update will definitely be Turkey related. Comments are always welcome! enjoy <3 

----------------------------------------------------------------------

After the Halloween party, Lena invited the older CEO into her penthouse to discuss the revelations. (Y/N) opened up to the young Luthor on how it's time to get back into seeing people and trying out a new relationship since it was a way for her to distract her mind from seeing her ex-fiancee in her company almost everyday for the next months.

Lena understood that completely. Though if the older CEO was looking for a distraction, she should have just continued whatever she was doing. Not get in a relationship with her best friend. The raven haired woman had no choice but to approve the relationship, even though it would hurt her inside. It wouldn't be right to claim something that isn't hers. If Kara is happy with (Y/N) then she'll let it be. She doesn't want to turn into a nasty woman who steals their best friend's "man." (Y/N) and Kara shared each other's secret and how they can't really physically hurt each other.

(Y/N) did not know why she had to explain herself for getting into a new relationship with Kara but she just felt like she needed too. She knows she has mild feelings for the younger CEO but she doesn't believe that Lena would view her more than just a friend or a worthy not hateable business buddy. It doesn't sit right and starts to believe that jumping into this relationship with Kara might be regrettable but she pushes those thoughts aside.

The older CEO did not go back to her penthouse that night. She took in the offer to stay at Lena's place again since it was really late in the hour. They both slept in the same bed one last time. Lena unintentionally clinging onto (Y/N) during their sleep as if this would be the last time she can be close to her like this.

She thought that if this time isn't the right time then maybe later on would be the best time.

Location: L-Corp

A couple of days turned into a couple of weeks. Lena was actually feeling lonely even though she can just easily contact (Y/N). Here and there they would have lunch hang outs and casual dinner at each other's penthouse. It wasn't enough for the young CEO.

Lena is not fortunate enough to hold (Y/N) during public outings or share long conversations late into the night. Kara gets to do that with her. Kara gets to be loved by the older CEO.

National City knows about the newly couple. It was no surprise that CatCo was the first media company to break the news to the public.

Lena has been having a hard time focusing on L-Corp but she doesn't slip anything up. She keeps up with her meetings and acts the same around her employees but she just simply can't be creative when in her lab.

At the moment, sitting in her swirl chair facing the window walls, she was just getting distracted. She gazes at the city skyscrapers and watches the sun set slowly. The view didn't really interest her. She was more fixed on her phone, looking at pictures of her and (Y/N) whenever they hung out. Lena has a couple of pictures of (Y/N) with a full mouth to her looking like a dork instead of a big meanie CEO.

Lena unconsciously smiles at these treasured pictures.

A few knocks were heard from her door. Lena locks her phone and turns her chair to place her elbows on the desk to get back to work. She was expecting Sam to walk in but instead it was her beloved big brother.

"Lex? What are you doing here?"

Lex sits on the couch and looks at the sunset behind her for a moment.
