25: Lena Luthor x Reader (Fem) - Part 2

As Lena returned to her penthouse that evening, she couldn't help but reflect on Y/N's first day at work. While she was indeed impressed with Y/N's performance, she remained cautious and wasn't ready to fully accept her yet. Lena wanted to push Y/N to her limits, to understand how she would react under extreme pressure, and whether she could be trusted implicitly.

In the quiet luxury of her penthouse, Lena contemplated the challenges she would set for Y/N the next day, designed to create a demanding and perhaps even a hostile work environment. Lena understood that most people would never contemplate betraying the company or their employer, but she wasn't willing to take any chances after her previous experience with Eve.

"Tomorrow," Lena murmured to herself, "I'll test her further."

The soft glow of the city lights filtered through the floor-to-ceiling windows of her penthouse, casting a reflective atmosphere over the room. Lena's thoughts were consumed by her plans for Y/N's next day, and she was determined to set a series of demanding tasks that would push her new assistant to the brink.

She considered the various ways to create a challenging work environment, from setting unrealistic deadlines to assigning complex and intricate projects. Lena was ready to do whatever it took to ensure Y/N's loyalty and competence.

The gravity of the situation weighed heavily on Lena's shoulders, and the penthouse's silence allowed her to delve deeper into her thoughts. As she strategized for the challenges she'd impose, she knew that the next day would be pivotal in understanding who Y/N truly was and whether she could withstand the pressures of L-Corp.

With her plan in mind, Lena prepared to face the next day, where she would test Y/N in ways she had never been tested before, all in the name of protecting her company and her own peace of mind.

Y/N finally arrived at her apartment, her footsteps heavy with exhaustion. Lena had kept her so busy that there hadn't been a moment to grab a proper meal all day. As she entered her small but cozy apartment, a sigh of relief escaped her lips.

She knew it was lucky that she kept a few instant cup noodles in stock for busy days like these. Y/N put a kettle on the stove and while it boiled, she changed into something more comfortable, shedding the formal attire she'd worn to impress Lena. The thoughts of what the next day might have in store consumed her mind.

While the kettle hissed and the cup noodles cooked, Y/N slumped onto her well-worn couch. She was physically and mentally drained from the demanding tasks Lena had thrown her way. With a steaming cup of noodles in her hand, she looked at it, contemplating the challenges of her new job.

"How long can I keep this up if this is just the first day?" Y/N questioned herself aloud. The shadows of doubt were cast upon her determination, but she refused to let her spirit break over the trials of her first hectic day at work. She reminded herself that she was here to prove her worth, no matter how arduous the path may be.

Exhaustion soon overtook her as she savored the first spoonful of noodles. Y/N slumped further into the couch, cup in hand, drifting into an unintentional slumber. The cup noodles lay half-eaten on the coffee table, testament to her fatigue and the relentless pace set by Lena.

Amidst this deep, uninvited sleep, Y/N's dreams remained restless, filled with questions about the trials that awaited her in the days to come and whether she could truly endure the relentless demands of her new position.

Exhausted but determined, Y/N arrived at L-Corp ahead of Lena, the weight of the upcoming challenges heavy on her shoulders. Her work area was meticulously organized, and she couldn't help but dread what the day had in store for her. Meanwhile, Lena had already mapped out how to keep Y/N engaged and thoroughly tested.
