Chapter 214: The Start Of Things

"I'm honored, but no thank you–– is what he said." Donna, now back at Atlas, ended her report to her boss, her fingers lightly adjusting her glasses with composed professionalism.

To that, Lex, calculating as ever, gently rubbed his stubble as he inwardly remarked;

'He's a smart one, I'll give him that.'

Almost immediately though, he calmly questioned;

"Do you think he's malleable?"

"No." Donna curtly responded.

"Well that's a shame." the multi-billionaire control freak commented, a casual air of disappointment in his tone.

Musing for a few seconds though, Lex then posed a curious question;

"From what you gleaned in the meeting, personality-wise–– would you say he's grey, bad or ugly?" 

"Good." the secretary responded, her tone devoid of emotion.

In response to that, Lex, for the first time in a fairly long while, frowned.

Leaning back into his chair, the CEO fixed his sharp, steel-blue irises on his secretary who simply returned his gaze with unwavering professionalism.

"You're sure?" he asked again, seeking proper clarification.

"Yes." Donna confirmed with a curt nod.

'Well, isn't that curious. Wonder how he got this far in the industry then…' Lex's fingers, drummed lightly on his table as he considered her answer.

Good?
