"You HAVE to be kidding Perry!?!" Lois said, clearly frustrated. "Why on earth do you need your best reporter chasing a story for a gossip column?!? This is Cat's column and her job!"
"I knew you wouldn't like it Lois, but hear me out. I need you to the take one for the team here, Cat has taken this week off on personal leave and I need someone to cover for her!" Perry tried knowing that he had much more work to do before Lois would ever chase this story.
"I know you don't like it but that column is one of our biggest earners, news is changing Lois, we need the clicks that the online version gets as much if not more than the sales of papers. I would really owe you one Lois."
"Fine" Lois said bluntly "But don’t you think I will forget this in a hurry!" She said, knowing she would need to call in a favor sooner rather than later if she got too overzealous.
"So what's the story then?"
