Chapter 182
Then the problem is coming.
To interrupt the boss's meditation, or not to interrupt?
Mercy is more than willing to do her job, but her boss has been less than... sane when it comes to Superman.
She felt that there was a high chance that she would be punished for interrupting the boss's thinking, and that was something she absolutely didn't like to see.
For God's sake!She works 360 days a year without holidays. In addition to handling the serious work of the Lex Group, she also has to take care of the boss's small research that cannot be put on the surface. It will all fall on her.
If you wear a pair of shoes again, you won't be able to live this day.
But the identity of that guest was too honorable. Although rumors said that he was very personable and exquisite, Moxi intuitively realized that the other party was arrogant by nature through the few opportunities to meet him. people.
In some respects, the guest is very similar to the boss.
The same astonishing intelligence and low-key behavior, the same thinking mode and eyes above the top, and even the smiling social expressions on the face also reveal the same hypocrisy.
Mercy had to admit that it took all her strength to contain the boss and the guest sitting face to face, smirking about secret matters that were destined not to survive in any official or unofficial record. Resist the urge to back off.
Now she either reminds the boss that the time is up or doesn't remind the boss. Reminding the boss will offend the boss, and not reminding the boss will offend the guest.
As for these two people, she dared not offend anyone.
The boss is not afraid of that guest. That guest is in the limelight near Europe and speaks for himself, but his tentacles can't reach the extremely complicated situation in the United States. In fact, even the US government can handle those relationships. The various forces that cut and break can't do anything.
Even the U.S. imperial government itself is already chaotic enough. They are completely scattered in their own way, and they can't find even half of them who have the full right to speak.
When the president was the tall man with dark skin and a bright smile, the scene of the US emperor was not like this.
At that time, the US emperor was in chaos, but there was order in the chaos, and all the special forces followed the common rules. They spoke and acted cautiously in front of ordinary people, carefully concealed their whereabouts, and hardly disturbed the daily life of ordinary people.
And now?Don't mention it.
So whether she should remind the boss... Mercy fell back into the original entanglement.
Fortunately, she didn't struggle for long this time, because Lex finally pulled his eyeballs out of the photo.
His expression didn't look much different from the past, he was still full of confidence and sure of victory, appearing calm and stable.
"Mossy," he called lightly, "ready to go, the appointed time is coming soon. I'm afraid Mr. Holmes is not a person who is good at waiting, although I'm sure he won't lose his demeanor over such trivial matters, but punctuality is a businessman. virtue."
"The car is ready, boss, we can start now."
Something big might happen in the future, but at least at this moment, Moxi seemed to be pardoned.
Lex leaves for an extremely important meeting that means more than just him.
If the conversation goes well enough and the two sides can reach a consensus on certain events, then the aftermath of the meeting is likely to shake the entire political situation in the United States for a long time to come, and thereby cause huge turmoil around the world.
Lex has always been aware of this fact:
To resist and kill Superman, he alone is not enough.
Especially with Superman first showing his power and goodwill to the mutants, and now hooking up with the equally powerful Wonder Woman, Lex is pretty sure he has to react to that.
Even though he actually...he never actually thought that Superman would let other people intervene in their wars.
He doesn't even think Superman has a "coalition" or "organization" in the true sense of the word. Even if for some reason, Superman might choose to be part of a team, it must be because Superman thinks he does. Do the silly rescues that benefit him, not because Superman thinks he needs a companion.
Lex in London is about to spend a tea time with important people, which may not be particularly pleasant. In the metropolis of the United States, Carl is happily waiting for the person he will have dinner with tonight.
He was wearing a very lovely dress.
A white T-shirt, gray harem pants, a pair of brown sneakers under his feet, and a student-like black frame for his glasses. Coupled with his usual youthful and sweet temperament, he would feel uncomfortable if he went out and said he was a college student. Few people believe it.
However, under normal circumstances, people who are the same age as Carl are still struggling in college. They are busy falling in love all day long, or they are busy finishing their homework before the deadline. Nervous about failing to pass, Carl has to worry about things that are not at the same level as them.
He didn't wait too long, and Louise drove to Ayer Manor 10 minutes earlier.
The last time I saw Louise Lane was before he inexplicably went to another parallel world. In fact, it was not too long ago, but too many things happened in this short period of time, so that he saw Louise Lane After that, I felt as if I had been separated from another world.
"Sister Lu'er!" He put the strange feeling behind him, and greeted briskly, "Just park the car casually, there are open spaces around, come in quickly!"
"Wait, come on." Louise said, stopped on the wide lawn, and turned the steering wheel to adjust the direction, trying to align the car with the edge of the lawn.
As she stared at the lawn, Carl wobbled over to Louise's side.
"I heard about what happened to you and Nini in Afghanistan a while ago," he said. "I'm glad to see you are safe and sound."
Louise opened the car door and got out. Hearing what Carl said, she joked, "Don't say that, Carl, Tony is a charming playboy, but that doesn't mean I'll bow down to his suit pants."
"You're right, Sister Luer, even if something happens, he should fall for you." Carl leaned on the rear door, looked at the female reporter who was getting out of the car and sighed, "I haven't seen You're so plainly dressed—and yet so pretty."
Louise wore the most common dress today, the style that all professional women would wear.
There is only a thin layer of foundation on her face, light-colored lipstick, a pair of very small silver stud earrings on her earlobes, and no other decorations. Your respect, I don't have the slightest meaning for you" sense of distance.
But even with this perfunctory look she still looks very beautiful.
Her unassuming temperament and impeccable demeanor make her stand out from the crowd. Wherever she stands, it is as obvious as pearls floating on the surface of gravel.
"Thank you, honey," Louise said, smiling. "Normally, I don't flirt with my interviewees—"
"What?" Carl said in surprise. "No! I'm not..."
"—but I know you're not flirting with me when you say that," Louise said slowly, with a sly wink, "although you do look like one. Don't argue, little boy, I don't think you'd Too good at telling the difference between an overture and a flirt. Is that how you treat all women?"
I only know two women, you and Diana, Karl thought.
I have the same attitude towards you, Karl thought again.
"I can tell by the look on your face that you treat women like this, Carl." Louise laughed, "I can't imagine how you and Lex get along, I mean, as you know, as of now Today, I am still the only reporter who has done a face-to-face interview with Lex Luthor, I am very familiar with him, not as good as you, but I definitely understand his character better than most people."
"You mean his madness, his narcissism, his apathy, his excesses of control?" Carr said. "He doesn't show that in front of me. At least he's faking it."
He and Louise walked into the living room side by side.
Rao, who got the news of the interview in advance, stayed in his room and did not come out. This vast and empty space only belonged to Carl and Louise.
"You're calmer than I thought, Carl."
"He's my boyfriend, sister Luer, and of course I need to know him a little bit before we get together." Carl said, "Hey, don't pretend you don't know about it, Luer, we never hide it. I’m not one of those people who…will establish a relationship on impulse and passion. I’m more traditional in that regard, and I’m very serious about a relationship.”
"So our interview begins? Starting with your views on love?"
"I don't care if you put that in your story, but I don't think you would."
"you guessed right."
Louise crossed her legs and took out a small tape recorder from her handbag.
"Now we can officially start." She said, her tone was casual, and she didn't turn on the recording. "The first question, you don't need to answer this question, because this question is just to satisfy my curiosity. Your personality helps a little too, but in general, it's okay if you don't answer."
"Just ask."
"Excellent. Why did you choose to be with Lex Luthor?"
"He's smart, handsome, and absolutely charming in every way."
"and?"
This time Karl didn't answer right away.
He thought for a moment and said, "'And' it's complicated after that, Luer. I've always been very intimidated by a stable relationship and a long-term relationship, including marriage. Someone close to me, but at the same time, I wasn't ready to be with another person for decades."
"Time is long and people always change. Being together is not a passion for me, naturally, passion is essential, but what I need is a... I don't know how to put it, maybe Call it possessiveness."
"I want him to be comfortable with all the changes that come from me."
I hope he belongs to me from head to toe.
