[Superman] Number One Enemy

Back to Planet Daily, correction, on the second day of Planet Media, Clark entered the office half an hour earlier in good spirits, bringing the hand-made coffee he bought from a nearby coffee shop.

In 15 minutes, organize all the data that the acting CEO needs today. In 5 minutes, arrange all the itineraries for the acting CEO today. 8 minutes to filter emails and phone calls.

30 seconds countdown to eight o'clock.Clark stood up, ready to greet his superior.

Five eight, fifty nine, sixty.It's eight o'clock.

The elevator door opened on time, and Audrey stepped on her four-inch high heels, pushed open the glass door, and walked into the office.

Today, Audrey is also wearing Chanel; sapphire blue mixed with peach red, navy blue, ingot purple, and sky blue woolen plaid jacket, matched with a round-neck short dress of the same color, white high-heeled shoes, light makeup and red lips, and a high ponytail.

Holding the itinerary and coffee, Clark followed Audrey's footsteps.

"Good morning, sir."

Audrey glanced at Clark lightly, and took the coffee.Clark noticed that Audrey seemed to frown when he called her sir.

"You will have a video conference in 10 minutes, about the theme and promotion of the next season of our TV series. There will be a staff meeting at ten o'clock. There will be a panel discussion at 12:30. Go to the World Trade Center in New York at two o'clock to participate in the partner's presentation."

Audrey entered the office.Hearing the last sentence, she stopped, turned her head, narrowed her eyes, and stared at Clark.

Clark immediately tensed his nerves and straightened his back.He felt like he was being watched again.again.

"Mr. Kent." Audrey said.

"...Yes?" Clark responded.

"You're missing two things."

"Sorry?" Clark began to break out in a cold sweat.My heart broke out in a cold sweat.

Audrey glanced over Clark.

"First of all, I won't be at the ten o'clock staff meeting, you go. I have a lawyer's meeting at ten o'clock in the morning. You were on the call yesterday, Mr. Kent."

Clark froze.

"But you said..." Clark looked at Audrey in astonishment.

"I'll be there. You asked me if I'd be there, and I asked you to wait. Then you didn't confirm my reply, right." Audrey said blankly.

Clark looked down.That's right, it is.He forgot to make sure Audrey was coming.

Audrey put the bag on the table, turned her head, and the ponytail drew an arc in the air.

"Second. I am not alone at the presentation at two o'clock. You have to go too. I left a note for you last night. Also, don't talk to me in a questioning tone. I want your affirmative answer. I People around you can’t come across as unreliable.”

"Yes, sir."

Audrey took a breath.Clark looked at her, turned away, rubbed his temples, sipped his coffee, and immediately frowned.

"what is this?"

"Coffee," Clark replied.Try not to make the expression appear in any way uncertain or unreliable.

Audrey glanced sideways at Clark and raised her eyebrows. "This is coffee."

"Uh... yes."

Audrey threw the whole cup of coffee straight into the trash.

Clark stared blankly.

"Like I said, I don't drink cheap coffee that isn't brewed with care," Audrey said, walking behind her desk and sitting down. "You have two more chances. Get back to your place, Kent. Don't make another mistake, I'm sorry." You have high expectations. And stop looking at me like you're clumsy, I know you can do these things."

It was Clark's second day as Planet Media's Perfect and Decathlon acting CEO and assistant to Audrey Barnes.

He began to suspect that returning to Earth was not such a good idea.

For the next five consecutive days, Audrey threw all the coffee Clark bought into the trash can.But Audrey didn't really fire him, and gradually Clark felt relieved.Although he still can't keep up with the fast pace of Audrey's hurricane passing, and often bumps into people or things when following Audrey on tour...

A week later, Clark bumped into Jimmy as he was leaving get off work and taking the elevator.

"Mr. Kent! Are you... all right?"

Jimmy greeted Clark warmly and carefully.

Clark smiled wryly. "Alive."

Everyone in the elevator cared for Clark with sympathetic eyes.More than half the crowd patted Clark on the shoulder as they exited the elevator.

Clark watched the other people leave in the elevator, with mixed emotions in his heart. "I'm famous, right?"

"Yes." Jimmy nodded, "You are the queen's first assistant. Before you came, she did all the work by herself."

Clark turned his head in disbelief. "Alone? How is it possible? How does she do everything?"

Jimmy shrugged.The two walked out of the elevator in the rear.

"She did it, and she did it well. That's why we have to admire her. I guess it's because she's been around that Stark. It's not ordinary to have to help Iron Man with tens of thousands of troubles. People can do it. Besides, she's Bruce Wayne's ex-girlfriend."

Clark frowned. "Bruce Wayne. You mean... Wayne of Gotham."

"Yes. They dated, many years ago, this matter has been dug up over the years, the Queen's name is always on the gossip board with Wayne and Stark. The people love it. Uh ...Actually, the gossip section of our newspaper often writes about this, as long as it is written properly, the Queen will have no objection.”

"So... she allows the public to talk about her."

"Yes, it's amazing. I also heard that she had an illegitimate child, but it should be false."

Clark looked at Jimmy in surprise.

"No one ever saw her have kids and her job was too full to be like a kid, probably because Wayne never gave up on rumors of a rekindled relationship with her. You'll see soon. Bruce Wayne and Tony Stark always come to our place, and I saw Captain America once."

Clark subconsciously looked up at the top floor of the building.The lights were still on there.

Jimmy waved to Clark, "Okay, Mr. Kent, I'm going this way. We're going to have a drink, will you come?"

Clark shook his head with a smile, waved Jimmy goodbye, and looked at the top floor again.

Although his new boss is strict and a bit tricky, he wants to do more for him.

That was Clark's first week as Audrey Barnes' assistant.

He was too busy to think about anything about Louis Lane.

At this point no one knew that Superman was back in Metropolis.Until a crash happened that night.

It may not be right to describe it as a crash; because the plane was carried by a rocket and sent to space.There were hundreds of political and business celebrities on the plane, as well as reporters from major newspapers, including Louise Lane sent by Planet Media.

Clark rescued the plane and landed it safely in the stadium where the game was taking place.

He saw Louise, but because there were too many people at the scene, he didn't have a chance to talk to each other, so he left.

After leaving the gym, he passed the Planet Media building on his way home.At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the lights on the top floor were still on.

Clark frowned.This is too bad.His boss is going to live in the office?Such thoughts made him unable to bear to stay outside the window more, and also made him accidentally see Audrey talking on the phone with her family.

From Clark's point of view, outside the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, Clark could see that Audrey was buried in piles of documents and data, concentrating on reviewing the crew proposals for the next season, circled the appropriate proposals, and rejected the unwanted parts.

Clark looked at it for a while, thinking that perhaps starting tomorrow, he should filter the data sent to the office more carefully, and when he turned to leave, Audrey picked up a video call.

"Baby, you are still in the company after all. 』

With superhuman hearing, Clark heard this conversation.The other party's voice was familiar, and Clark always felt that he had met him somewhere before.

"Nata... I'm sorry. I haven't finished the work yet, I... are you on a mission?"

"We're on our way back.You gotta go home and rest, baby.You promised me.Brandon needs you. 』

"I know. I'm trying. I gotta get these things done."

"Leave it to someone else.Steve and all of us can take care of Brandon, but he needs you most. 』

"I know, I know...but I promised Tony that Planet Media would be...you know that, Nata. We need media from different angles, and the Avengers need media from different angles. I can't let Jen Munson, Luthor, those other media hate you all day, black superheroes."

"We want the public to understand your efforts. This is the meaning of all I do."

Clark frowned.He couldn't help turning his head back, looking at Audrey's video screen from a long distance away.

The person talking to Audrey was a gorgeous beauty with fiery red hair.It can be seen that the red-haired woman looks concerned, and she is obviously close to Audrey.

However, the scene behind the woman seems to be on a fighter jet.There was a figure walking around, which meant she was not the only one on board.A capital A can be vaguely seen.

That's the S.H.I.E.L.D. Avengers logo.

Clark wondered; his boss not only knew Stark well, but also the rest of S.H.I.E.L.D.?

"I'll go back to Stark Enterprises when I'm done with this. I miss New York," Audrey said.

"All right.What about your morning news department?How, haven't you found a new editor-in-chief yet? 』

"There is no suitable one. The editor-in-chief of the morning news department has changed three times within half a year. I don't want to close the department, but I have to convince the board of directors. Planet Media's morning news department cannot be replaced by soap operas or Japanese cartoons , Its level must be improved, so that our ratings can beat our opponents, and we can replace the Daily Bugle, the news channel invested by Luthor, and other competitors as news indicators.”

"I will discuss this matter with the head of the news department again. If they can't find anyone, I want to kiss the front line. Why can't they find anyone? If it's not for the lack of manpower, I want to fire them."

The video screen is now joined by a new person.Male, black hair, facial features somewhat similar to Audrey.Strong, ruthless, with metal arms.

"Audrey. 』

"James. When are you coming back?"

"Twelve hours later.Tomorrow night we'll be home, and I want you to be home, and we'll be painting with Brandon, and you don't want to throw Brandon over to Steve and run overtime.He spoils you so much, I must discuss this with him. 』

"Oh, don't make it sound like you don't pet Audrey. 』

"...Nata, don't tear me down.I only have one niece! 』

Audrey laughed. "Okay, I'll be home. Let's have dinner."

Clark looked at Audrey's smile and was stunned.It hadn't occurred to him...well, he knew Audrey was human too, and in theory Audrey could laugh.But he never imagined that Queen Barnes, known as the devil in official business, would be so favored, laughing and slapstick in front of her family.

"Remember to rest, baby girl.You didn't get the super soldier serum. 』

The video call has now been terminated.

Clark watched as Audrey stood up and went to make a pot of tea.The huge office is pale and deserted, with screens on the wall and various TV stations broadcasting the news that Superman has returned and has just saved a certain plane crash.

Clark hesitated for a moment, then landed on the balcony.

Audrey turned around.Their eyes meet.

Audrey immediately frowned.

That expression was exactly the same as what Clark saw in the office every day.Clark pulled away his friendly smile, but he smiled wryly in his heart, thinking that probably only Audrey Barnes would not respond when he saw Superman.

fair enough.If Audrey also loses her mind when she sees Superman, Clark may not be able to calmly face his ruthless and unreasonable devil female boss when he returns to the office.

Clark stood on the balcony, but Audrey didn't seem to have any intention of opening the window to let Clark into the office.They just looked at each other.Clark watched Audrey make tea.Audrey watched Clark blow the cold wind.

"Excuse me." Clark explained, "I just... just passed by."

Audrey nodded, picked up the teacup, took a sip of tea, and stared at Clark.

"Would you mind taking a break on my balcony?"

Audrey shrugged her shoulders, waved her hands, and made a gesture of asking for permission.

Clark wondered in his heart, could it be that Audrey didn't plan to talk to him at all?While thinking, in fact, he really wanted to enter the office, it was too strange to chat through the glass window.He just stood on the balcony for a full 10 minutes.

Just when Clark felt that he had better leave immediately and began to suspect that nothing in the world could move Audrey, and seeing Audrey smile just now was just an illusion, Audrey spoke.

"Why aren't you off work?" Audrey asked, her expression was sincere and bewildered, "You can go home now."

Clark was terrified. "What?!"

The author has something to say:

Some people have a guilty conscience.

I feel that the pace is still a bit fast this time (wiping my face

This makes me vaguely worried about what kind of plot can be conjured later OTZZZ

The relationship diagram should be obvious enough, right? Audrey is blood related to Bucky. Here, part of the timeline of the Avengers has progressed to after Winter Ice. Bucky did not assassinate Tony’s parents. Before that, Tony’s parents died, so ……right.

Also because of Audrey's relationship, Tony has a better attitude towards Bucky.And now they are all living in Audrey's house, including Steve, partly because Natasha originally lived with Audrey, James wants to live with Natasha, and then Steve moved in naturally without reason ( ?).

The other part is that Audrey is so busy that everyone basically takes turns helping out with her son...
