Hi,
Great part.
That's sweet.
"Anyway, back to what you said earlier..." Lois began. "Why don't you like Lex Luthor? I'm curious."
Clark shrugged. "It's nothing I can put my finger on. There's just something about him that makes me wonder if he's not really all he appears to be."
He chanced a look at her and saw her cock an eyebrow. "Hmmm," she murmured thoughtfully. Then, "You think he's hiding something?"
"Could be. But history is full of dictators and rulers who were motivated by power, and I've been around this business long enough to know that men like that don't usually get where they are by playing nice."
Lois looked impressed. "Good point."
Don't want Lois to like Luthor.
"But we spent the whole morning talking about everything *but* this acquaintance of yours. I only have a day and a half left!"
Clark felt a mixture of relief and regret at her plea--relief that he'd managed to put her off after spending an entire morning with her, yet regret that in just a day and a half, he was going to have to force himself to let her go.
Time was running out. He should give her the interview.
More ASAP, please.
