Lex looked at her smeared mascara and frowned "They make waterproof now" he stood up and stuck his fingers in to his coat pocket to pull out a platnum zippo lighter with his initials carved in to it. He knew it was narcissistic, but if the Bat could do it, so could he.

She quickly pulled a compact mirror out of her bra and started working on her face "I apologize-"

"That's disgusting" he flicked his lighter open and light his cigar, puffing it a few times before tasting it. They were cuban - of course - and had a delightful woody flavor that warmed him.

"I-" she finished what she was doing and stuffed the mirror in her jacket "it's habit, in Hollywood they don't sell a lot of clothes with pockets."

"I couldn't care less about what they do in Hollywood or what they sell, what you need to be doing is selling me on the idea of you working for me. Because right now? All you are is a lawsuit waiting to happen" he looked out the large glass windows that lined the back wall of his office and blew a large billowing cloud of smoke out, obscuring his very faint reflection. "I am one step away from becoming the President of the United States, my past is more tainted than any single candidate in the history of this country and the last thing I need is for what I did to you to get in to the media."
He turned to her terrified face and raised his eyebrow, holding his cane with white knuckles "And before you ever get the idea for blackmail in your head, remember, your life is worth nothing. If you go missing? Not even your precious daddy will care. So tell me, Madison, why in the hell should I help you?"

Madison, still looking terrified, stood up with her arms around her chest "I'm lonely a-a-and if I don't have something to do with mm-my god damn time I'm going to die" she replied with all honesty "if being here with you means being miserable, fine, but I can't be out there on my own anymore Lex. I can't fucking do it."

Lex stared at her for what seemed like forever before shaking his head "Your answer to 'I will kill you' is 'I'm going to die" he blinked "I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do with that."

"Lex!" She yelled out "You owe me! God dammit you owe me!! After everything you put me through!"

Lex seemed unimpressed, but part of him felt guilty.
He was a monster and for a time his past didn't bother him, it was for the greater good he kept telling himself. But what he did to her was just out of spite, out of rage and it had ruined her life.
Maybe he did owe her.
"Fine" he said plainly "there's an opening in the mailroom."

He lifted his hand again "Shut up" he walked toward her, leg still very stiff "if you even open your mouth about our past relationship to anybody in this building, not only will you disappear but so will they and so many people here have such wonderful families."

Madison felt her stomach turn "I understand."

"You're a waste of perfectly good air Madison Springfield," he took another large puff off of his cigar "a young beautiful charming talented woman, who wastes her talents on billionaires and cocaine. When I met you, you were a sight to behold, but now?" He laughed "You're no better than I am, no better than anyone else and why you continually waste your time begging at my feet I'll never understand."
He turned back to the window "Now get out."

She thanked him again and grabbed her jacket making her way quickly out of the office, she closed her eyes on the floor where HR was, he promised he'd inform them she was coming.
Madison didn't really know why she was doing this, she could have worked at a Starbucks or something.
When she walked through the door to HR she noticed Lex's campaign manager speaking softly to the woman at the front desk.

Regina turned with an arm full of paperwork, she was wearing something akin to a pantsuit, but it fit her body like a glove "Ms. Springfield" she grinned. Lex had told her all about her and she was surprised to even see her here.
