Glad to finally catch up with my LnC reading!
Either way, he’d been giving her assessing looks these days whenever she headed out on any Luthor-connected story, and she’d started escaping his probing gaze as quickly as she could to ensure he wouldn’t follow up his measuring look with a question or warning. Perry was one of the few people on earth she had qualms about lying to, but protecting Clark came first, and she was pretty sure that meant a lie to her boss if pressed. So she made it a point to stay a step ahead of the questions behind his eyes.
Perry is an old newshound. He knows something is going on with Lois and is trying to figure it out. That's why he's the Chief.
The non-verbal exchange between these two is fascinating. The red dot's movements and Lois' interpretations of them were so cool! Lois is devoted to breaking up what is left of LexCorp, why else would she spend an entire day pretending to be a drunk. Master of Disguise indeed.
Oh Clark, you need to give up being a 'red dot' and become Lois' partner again!
