Chapter 150

Kara was listening to Leslie Willis's usual broadcast and it seems that despite having given her numerous warnings and being shown several examples otherwise, Leslie still seemed to think that she was the same kind of boss as Cat Grant, since she had not once changed her content and Kara was sick of it, since honestly, her show was no longer delivering the ratings it once had.

"Nia." Kara said as she turned off the broadcast.

"Yes Mrs. Allen?" Nia asked as she walked in.

"Again, call me Kara, but anyways, tell Leslie Willis to come to my office immediately." Kara said.

"She' broadcasting right now." Nia said.

"I know, I'm hoping that this time, she'll finally get the message." Kara said and Nia nodded.

"I'll send her the message." Nia said.

"And make sure to include that if she isn't here in 5 minutes I will send security down to retrieve her." Kara said and Nia nodded.

"I'll make sure she knows that." Nia said, surprised that Kara would do that, but she supposed that considering how many times Leslie had been in that office to be lectured by Kara since Nia started working at Catco alone, she supposed Kara was trying a new approach on Leslie.

"You wanted to see me?" Leslie asked when she entered Kara's office, annoyed that she had to end her show early.

"Yes I did. Leslie, I've lost track of how many times I've called you into my office, but I do know that it's more times than anyone else here." Kara said and Leslie just rolled her eyes.

"So, we gonna go through the same thing we usually do?" Leslie asked.

"No, because it clearly isn't working. You still seem to think that I'm Cat Grant. That I'm just going to keep giving you warning after warning and never actually doing anything about it." Kara said.

"So what are you going to do?" Leslie asked.

"Tell you that I'm not Cat Grant. Especially considering the fact that I found a loophole in your contract." Kara said.

"What do you mean?" Leslie asked.

"What I mean is that you have not been meeting certain criteria lately. People aren't interested in your brand of negativity anymore and the number of subscribers to your broadcast has dropped significantly, meaning that you're costing the company more money than you're making. So, either get your act together and start listening when I talk or find a new job. Those your options." Kara said.

"You won't fire me." Leslie said.

"You wanna bet. Since you clearly don't think I'm serious, I think I know what will get the message across." Kara said.

"Really what?" Leslie asked.

"I'm reducing your salary by 20% and be lucky that's all. Get your act together or you won't be making anything. At least not here. Am I clear." Kara said.

"You can't do that." Leslie argued.

"Actually, I can. As CEO of Catco, I have control over financing and I want to make sure that all employees here are paid what they're worth. It's nothing personal Leslie, but I've given you numerous chances to change things without any real intervention, and you've blown it every single time. You've brought this on yourself. I'm sorry. Now please get back to work and be lucky you still have a job." Kara said regretfully, since she didn't enjoy doing this to Leslie, but she was hoping that this would prevent her from becoming Livewire.

"You'll regret this." Leslie said as she stormed out of the office.
