Her career was about to begin.
Her first big story.
Bust and success. So little apart.
Not that she was necessarily buying it just because Robert James was saying it, Lois reminded herself.
I guess, if she is sure of it
Good point.
"So this is all your fault?"
Ouch.
This man, this Robert James - whom she had thought capable of horrible deeds - was ... Well, she wasn't sure what he was.
An…aberration?
"I'm sure it's not normal procedure to confide in a hotel maid," she said.
"Are you expecting I will simply scuttle away like a frightened little girl?"
No, like a ticked off pup-reporter.
"You think it's Paul, don't you?" Lois breathed. "You think he's the one who is threatening your wife? That's why you came to his office, isn't it?"
Oh boy.
"Of course I can trust him. He's a brilliant editor, and I'm very fortunate that he is so generous with his time and experience."
If that *was* the reason, his hotel would very quickly gain the reputation of a sleazy abode, and no decent person would ever stay here.
Actually, business might pick up, though.
*Dealing* with a guest? Was that how she termed it?
"You again!" Tony cried. "I told you not to come back."
/whispers/ He might be Lois’s pimp.
He would not allow this young scum to negate sixteen months of hard work.
16 *months*? Oh boy. Oh boy. Oh boy. Total cuckoo.
"I knew nothing about this objectionable situation until earlier this morning," he said, quickly constructing his defence in his mind.
:rolleyes:
Oooooooh!
"There is so much that requires your attention. No one man could be expected to be able to supervise every aspect of ..."
Uh-huh.
So, umm…you mentioned about this being finished already? I don’t mind waiting a bit longer for the *next* story. It’s more an issue of waiting *between* the parts
