Chapter 3
How many times have you been assassinated this month?
Sitting at the desk, Na pinched the top of the bridge of her nose wearily, trying to relieve the fatigue caused by twelve hours of continuous work.
Lina sighed softly and pushed away the chair, stepped to the side cabinet, and got herself a glass of ice water to refresh herself.
Since the release of the 'Quick Healing Potion' (a potion that speeds up the healing of wounds) developed by L-corp, the name Lena Luthor has once again been recognized by ordinary humans, and her name is no longer affected by the shadow of Lex Luthor , she successfully obtained her own glory and washed away the notoriety imposed on her by the Luther family.
L-corp has entered into other fields that have not been entered before on a large scale. Lina's sensitivity to market trends and the discovery, cultivation and control of talents have made L-corp's market value continue to soar during this period.
This brought her more wealth, but also multiplied enemies, as if the whole world wanted her to die immediately.
In the past, I was assassinated once a month on average, but now it’s fine, once a week, and it’s more punctual than Amazon couriers.
Fortunately, she met a former government agent named Alan Michelson not long ago. Her physical strength is different from ordinary people. She is invulnerable and not afraid of explosions.
Also because of her, every time the supergirl arrives, the troubles have been solved, which saves her from having too much contact with the supergirl.
What makes Lina feel strange is that in the past when their relationship was not so rigid, supergirl never paid too much attention to her, and only when she couldn't solve a certain problem would she appear like a god and save her from fire and water .Fortunately, if there is any movement on her side, the superhero who is obviously busier than her, the CEO, will arrive as scheduled, watching her like a stalker all the time.
"It's not a good idea to drink ice water without dinner, Li... Ms. Luthor." Cara, who hadn't stepped into this office as a supergirl for a long time, flew in softly, and put the box in her hand on the desk on the only vacant spot. "Happy birthday, Ms. Luthor."
Lena looked at Carla in the iconic uniform in surprise. If she remembers correctly, she never told anyone when her birthday was, only three people knew: one was already in heaven, wow, it might be in Hell; one is undergoing reformation in prison, although she knows it will never work; and the other is hiding in a corner at the moment, planning to kill her, the illegitimate daughter.
I could read the confusion from Lena's expression, but Kara would never confess that she let Wen secretly hack into the systems of several government organizations to confirm the date.
"I think you don't seem to see me on this important day, I just give you something and leave right away..." The always sunny and optimistic superhero laughed at himself, playing with the ribbons that bound the gift box in his hand a little lonely .
"Although I don't know where you got the correct time for my birthday, thank you from the bottom of my heart, supergirl."
Seeing the bright smile on supergirl's face again, Lina felt that her world was illuminated. Supergirl has such ability. When you see her, you will be full of hope, as if all the suffering will pass.
This beautiful personality is exactly the same as her reporter friend. Sometimes Lena wonders if it is because the two of them have the same smile that she has different feelings for them.
Either way, the one who gets all of their attention should be lucky.
"It's fine if you like it, then I'll go first." After speaking, regardless of whether Lina wanted her to stay or not, she disappeared in place as planned.
Yes, this is an 'extremely meticulous' plan, a plan from Wen.
He asked Kara to give Lena a birthday cake as a supergirl and then left, then quickly changed to a reporter's identity to invite the president of L-corp to have dinner, and pretended to see the cake accidentally to realize that today is her birthday, and then celebrated Say more good things about supergirl on your birthday, it's perfect.
Wen called the plan 'the perfect plan to rekindle the fire of friendship'.
Lina shook her head amusedly, put down the cup in her hand, and walked towards the delicate gift box.
"Hey, Lena!" At this moment, the little reporter who had hidden his uniform entered the room with an exaggerated expression.
It has to be said that Kara's lies, except for concealing her identity, are terribly clumsy.
"Hey, Carla, why are you here?" Seeing that Carla's president was no longer tense, the expression on his face eased a lot, he stopped unpacking the gift box, and looked happily at the friend who had the right to freely enter her office.
"I'm here to invite you to dinner!" Kara told the purpose of coming according to Wen's plan.
Lina's right eyebrow was frivolous, and she glanced at the tight watch on her hand with a half-smile. "Dinner at 21 o'clock, nothing wrong."
"Eh..." Kara's eyes widened, her smile froze on her face, her hands and feet were frozen, and the superhero who was helping humans after get off work didn't notice the time issue at all. "Supper! I mean supper! Don't talk about it, why is there a cake here! Is today your birthday?" Lina smiled and waved her hands, trying to cover up this low-level mistake.
"How do you know it's a cake, Kara?" Lena couldn't hold back her smile anymore, Lina felt that her birthday was really interesting~
"No! My God!" Carla realized that Lena hadn't had time to open the gift box yet!
Is there anything more embarrassing than being caught lying in person?No!Carla slumped her shoulders and fell weakly on the sofa, pouted and remained silent.
She wanted to give Lena a different birthday, and now she screwed it all up.
"It was supergirl who told you that today is my birthday, right?" Lina was not angry at all, she just felt that there was no need to go to war on my birthday.
As the little princess of the Luther family, she would hold a large-scale banquet every birthday when she was a minor, entertaining those famous and famous people, as if the significance of her birthday was to facilitate a few big deals.
So she rejects every birthday, to the extent that she does not want to tell others the real time.For her, her birthday is an ordinary day in the five days of 360 days.
"Yes, she knew that she definitely didn't want to see her on your birthday, so she sent a cake and asked me to accompany you, but I messed it up, I'm sorry."
Carla took the pillow that was set aside and hugged it in her arms. The cute look of a golden retriever made Lina shout in her heart that 'the most deadly thing is to act like a spoiled child'. She couldn't help rubbing her soft blond hair with her hands.
"Knock, knock -" there was a knock on the door, and Lena's new personal bodyguard, Alan Michelson, walked in. Her slender body was reflected in an expensive lady's suit, and her straight brown hair was neat. The one is tied to the head, so delicate that he doesn't look like a bodyguard at all.
"Lena, it's time to go home."
Cara, who was still sighing in her heart, "This woman is so handsome", instantly pulled her face down. What does it mean "It's time to go home"?
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, now Allen has become my personal bodyguard, and it just so happens that there are more people now, let's start to deal with the cake someone sent."
Lina didn't pay much attention to Allen's words. After all, as a personal bodyguard, it is not a problem to treat her manor as a home.
Just because Lina doesn't care doesn't mean that Kara doesn't care, the most important thing is that this unlovable woman actually wants to eat the strawberry cake she carefully prepared for Lina. This is the cake that she specially flew to Gotham City to buy !
Lina was in a good mood when she unwrapped the cake, completely oblivious to the struggle behind her.
"Lena, this is not good, after all, this is a gift specially given to you by someone else." Allen looked at Fried Kara with a funny face, narrowing his eyes and refusing.
Seeing her hypocritical appearance, Kara really wanted to throw her into outer space.
"No, she definitely won't care, right Carla." The moment Lina opened the gift box, she was attracted by the delicate appearance of the cake. "I sometimes really wonder what supergirl's job is when she's out of the uniform, as far as I know, she works for the DEO for nothing in return."
'No!She cares!She cares so much! Kara nodded with a smile on her face and did not raise any objections, but she was roaring in her heart.
In the end, at Carla's insistence, they put in candles and sang birthday songs for today's birthday star, and settled three-quarters of the cake under the baptism of Alan's surprised eyes.
She bought the cake herself and ate it with confidence!Lena always spoiled her anyway.
Lina has long been used to Kara's bottomless appetite. She herself eats very little, but every time she eats with Kara, she can always eat more than usual, which may mean that she is delicious.
"Is Carla full? Do you want me to order some more pizza?" Lina looked at Carla, who was chewing food like a squirrel, with a doting face.
"No, that's enough, today you are the protagonist, Lena, you should ask yourself what you want. Really, wait!" Swallowing part of the cake in her mouth, Carla quickly pulled Lena up, and also Without saying what he was doing, he lifted up his clothes to untie the belt around Lina's waist.
The client, Lina, was completely frightened by the situation at this moment. No one had ever unfastened her belt, let alone in front of others.
Lina blushed and held down the mischievous hands. As a personal bodyguard, Allen finally remembered her duty, and immediately separated her boss from this strange reporter who was obviously hostile to her.
Kara stared at the belt that had been unbuttoned but had no time to remove the buttons, her face began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, what did she just do!
"No, no, no, Lena! I just want to give you a present, but the original belt buckle needs to be removed first! I don't mean to take off your pants!" Kara was circling anxiously on the spot.
"Ms. Danvers, you give me that thing, and I'll help Ms. Luthor put it on."
Allen just made the suggestion out of the instinct of the bodyguard, but ignored the strange relationship between the three at this time. This suggestion, which seemed inappropriate no matter how it looked, was immediately rejected by Kara and the parties in unison.
"I'll do it myself." Lina cleared her throat, suppressing her shyness.
Carla hastily took out Wen's new invention 'Guardian' from her jacket pocket and handed it to Lena, her expression softer than ever.
"Happy birthday, Lena!"
