Yeah. That could be construed as creepy, given he dated her.
“CK, I… I …” Jimmy stammered. “I was only thinking of you and Lois.”
‘Thinking’ So, that’s what this is called these days?
Bruce continued to block their path. “Actually, it does. As new owner of the Daily Planet, I cannot have my star investigative reporters distracted by personal problems.”
So, he bought himself a judge?
“It’s too late for that, Lois. You see, your nanny Penny here kindly supplied me with a sample of your daughter’s blood. With this sample, I was able to get a DNA genetic match for Lara’s biological parents.”
Bruce smiled. “I was able to track down Lara’s biological parents. They were resolute about their reasons for leaving their daughter with you.”
“Here is my sworn affidavit stating that I have been in contact with Lara’s biological parents,
Do you know how many boundaries you just crossed?”
Cut him some slack. He’s blind as a bat. Doesn’t see any boundaries.
“What? Invading my family’s privacy, so that Lois and I could do our jobs so that you could sell a few more newspapers… that’s the greater good?”
“Win-win.” Bruce smiled indulgently.
“Ladies and gentlemen, for those of you who don’t know me, I’m Bruce Wayne, CEO of Wayne Enterprises and new owner of the Daily Planet.”
“This does have a familiar ring to it,” whispered Lois with derision.
“Even if it means an exposé on our new owner?” Lois inquired, shifting her daughter over to her other hip.
Oh, Lois.
“Bring it on, honey, I’ve nothing to hide.”
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…
“Last time I checked, this is still a free country, Wayne. A democracy, not a dictatorship. I get to choose with whom and for whom I work.” Clark looked at the billionaire with contempt. “And it’s not you.”
Bruce chuckled. “Honestly, Clark. I’m hurt. You’d work for Luthor, for Luckaby and even Mindy Church, but not for Wayne Enterprises. I find that quite ironic.”
Yeah, well, they never hit on him or his wife. No, wait… Umm… they never hid who they really…? Nope, that’s not it. Hmm… They where dishonest people? Yes. That’s it!
“Don’t forget, I know all about you. All your dirty secrets.” Clark glared at him, eye to eye, nose to nose. “I could leave this job with a bang.”
Bruce’s smile grew larger. “Like you, Clark, I have nothing to hide.”
“You know, he doesn’t date his employees, Penny, don’t you?”
“Date him? This is an employment opportunity of a lifetime, Lois. There are other men out there I can date,” she said as the elevator closed.
