Lois ran her forefinger over the unsealed envelope. She looked towards the snacks table as Cat Thompson leaned into Clark’s chest. They were both laughing at something that was obviously funny. It was already a long week. Several of them had come in on a Saturday.
She shut her eyes for a moment. She took a deep breath as she looked at her watch; it read 5 p.m. She stood up and grabbed her coat before heading to the lift. She looked at the envelope in her hands as the doors to the lift shut. She had depressed the button for the top floor where the editor-in-chief had his office.
Perry White waved his young successful reporter into his office as he was finishing a phone call. Lois took the seat in front of his desk.
She waited patiently, shifting in her seat. He finally hung up the phone.
“Newspaper CEOs,” he said rolling his eyes. “Distribution is up twenty five percent. So what can I do you for, Lois?”
She gulped. “I just wanted to say, ‘thank you,’” she said as she handed him the number 10 envelope.
He looked at the unsealed envelope with his name written across the front. He looked up at her, studying her for a moment. He had an inkling as to what the envelope contained.
He opened up the envelope and pulled the company letterhead from inside. He unfolded it and skimmed the letter. He looked at her for a moment, slowly folding the letter back up.
“I know things have been difficult since Lex came and left your life, Lois,” Perry began. “But has it come to this?”
“I just think I need a change, Perry,” she said weakly.
“Complete change, though?” the veteran newsman asked. “You wouldn’t consider a sabbatical?”
“I’m not quite sure I was ever ready for this place, Perry,” she admitted.
“Your three Pulitzers seem to say otherwise,” he said.
She was silent for a moment. Perry nodded, resigned to the fact that he was going to lose his best reporter. They both stood up.
“Do you need a recommendation?” he asked as she put on her coat.
She laughed as he smiled. He accompanied her to the lift. They rode the lift down to the lobby where he held the door open for her. They nodded at each other before Lois left the building.
He depressed the button for the basement. He took a deep breath as he listened to the Muzak on his ride down to the basement offices.
“Ah, just the man I wanted to see,” Perry said as the lift doors opened. He put his arm around the bespectacled reporter. He nodded at the young man’s female companion. “Cat, could you take the next one.”
She shrugged. “See you later on tonight, Clark.”
Clark nodded at her as the doors closed. He watched as Perry pushed the penthouse button. Clark took a deep breath. Was he in Perry’s dog house? They rode the lift in silence, only the gentle tune of Muzak played in the background. The lift doors finally opened. Perry nodded for Clark to follow him to his office.
