Lois: Looks like someone woke up on the right side of the bed this morning.
Chloe: At least l woke up in my own bed.
Lois: What's that supposed to mean? l told you, l was working on a story.
Chloe: A story about a reporter and her editor getting an exclusive between the sheets? Making love?
Lois: Look, Chloe--
Chloe: l know you're impulsive, Lo, but come on.
Lois: lt wasn't impulse. (Temporary crush?) lt's not like l did a double gainer off a cliff. Jump into a precipice?
Chloe: Don't be surprised if you pancake (colapse?) faster than you think
l mean, of all the people in the world, you had to end up with your editor?
Lois: Okay, so l strayed into the minefield of misguided romance again but l swear, Chloe, it had nothing to do with me getting the job or getting ahead. You don't believe me, do you?
Chloe: I do believe you. The problem is will anyone else, Lois? Gossip spreads faster than a bad rash. Sooner or later, people are gonna start scratching. Assuming one thing: Lois Lane jump-started her career on her managing editor's DieHard battery. Gluttony for love?
Lois: Let them think what they want. l am not gonna let water-cooler chitchat (Gossips?) splash cold water on my previously nonexistent personal life.Make her to be with rigged past?
Top answer
Chloe: A story about a reporter and her editor getting an exclusive between the sheets? Making love? So it seems.
