This story has been so much fun to read! Our favorite writing duo are not together and you are doing a great job making us readers wonder when (or if) they will get together!
The night had passed without Clark appearing at her apartment. Lois had left her window open when she had gone to bed after Lex had brought her home, hoping that Clark would choose that way to contact her again and maybe bring her his box of evidence. But he had not come. For a minute or two she had thought that there was a shadow outside as her curtains billowed in a gust of wind, but that had most likely been her overactive imagination. Now, she had a stiff neck and moreover was tired, because she had not slept well with all the noise outside.
Hard to imagine Clark not coming by to at least check on Lois. Still, with Lucy living with her its a little hard for him to 'drop in' for a quick visit. Maybe he should try the front door?
A sudden surge of anger filled Lois and with a last glance at Clark’s desk that would have killed any occupant instantly, she marched down the ramp to her own desk. Impatiently, she shrugged out of her coat and forcefully threw her handbag onto her desk. It toppled over, spilling the variety of rags. It was by sheer luck that the fern survived the onslaught, but then Lois had not had her first cup of coffee yet, which was only adding to her current foul mood.
Yup, she is in full 'Mad Dog' mode. Sort of like me when I haven't had my first cup!
With another glance over her shoulder, Lois made sure that she was still alone. Satisfied, she went to Perry’s office. He was way too confident that his natural authority would keep nosy employees out. Maybe, his fear of his wife Alice added to the fact that lately, he kept forgetting to lock his door. Since his job as the editor-in-chief always kept him in the office until late hours, he had to hurry home in order not to incur Alice’s wrath.
She entered Perry's office without his permission and went through his files? What would the Managing Editor think if he found out? Will he find out?
This gives us an idea of the level of worry Lois has for her partner. A level I share. Please let us know what happens next as soon as possible!
