    Summary

    “Mr Wayne, may I ask about something personal?”

    “Mr Kent,” the man chuckled, “mixing business with personal matters?”

    “What? No! I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean—“

    “I was only joking, Kent. Of course you can ask. Anything you’d like.”

    Clark found himself staring into his gray eyes as he tried to calm his nerves.

    “Then tell me…” he began carefully, “why did you decide to buy a newspaper company? Especially one in Metropolis?”

    Wayne tilted his head slightly, pretending to think seriously.

    “The Daily Planet is an excellent investment—and not only financially. Every newspaper in Gotham is obsessed with chasing sensational headlines. They don’t care whether what they publish is actually true. I’ve read your articles,” he paused to take a sip of his Coke, “and I liked them. Your employees take their work seriously. But that’s not the only reason.”

    “Then what’s the other one?” The reporter asked, before he could stop himself.

    “There’s someone I’d like to have an excuse to see more often in Metropolis.”

    Wayne slowly lifted his eyes to meet Clark’s.

     

    Clark absolutely couldn’t believe what he was hearing.
