***********
Amber Waters drove quietly through the everlasting cornfields of Smallville, Kansas. She had to get away from the bustling city life of Metropolis. She just wasn't happy. Her waitressing job was in shambles, her apartment was in a bad area, and there was no one she could count on, even just to talk. Amber had recently come to visit her only friend, a resident of Smallville, Lana Lang, her younger cousin. Lana suggested that Amber come and live with her and Aunt Nell, who was her late mother's sister. Amber had really thought about the proposition, it would be starting new, fresh. She accepted and that was how she ended up driving to Smallville in the early fall, passing abundant stalks of tall yellow. Amber came up upon the large farms of Smallville, having already passed the clearly visible sign, reading "Smallville, Kansas: Meteor Capitol of the World." She spotted the Lang farmhouse and parked her car out front. The unpacking was easy and Lana was always wonderful to talk to, even if she was 5 years younger and totally different than Amber. In personality, Amber was basically the same: caring, quiet, sweet, and understanding. But Amber wouldn't let just anyone walk all over her, probably because of living in Metropolis for so long. Plus, Amber looked a bit different than the dark-haired Lana. Amber had long auburn hair and sparkling green eyes, but was around the same size, probably an inch or two taller as Lana. Lana started school that Monday and Amber was left to be alone, while Nell went into town. Amber looked in the paper for a small job; she could earn a little extra money, maybe help Nell with the farm. But when she looked, all that was under the wanted ads was an inquiry for a secretary to the notorious Lex Luthor. That night, she talked to Lana about the job, Lana telling her to go for it and that Lex wasn't as bad as he seemed. Amber had to take Lana's word for it; she was usually a good judge in character anyways. So, the next morning, she called the number in the paper and set up an appropriate time to meet Mr. Luthor, that night at 5 o'clock.
Mr. Luthor sat down exhaustedly in the large leather chair in his office at the manor. It was 4:30; he had to be done for the day. He decided to check his schedule to be on the safe side and noticed the interview with a Ms. Amber Waters. A secretary he thought then remembered the query for a secretary for the opening at his plant. He sat back at his computer, wanting to pull a few things up about Ms. Waters. He looked through numerous files on Amber. From, how her mother had died in a plane crash to how she had been working at a job as a waitress in Metropolis for the past few years. Then he noticed the maiden name of Amber's mother, Lang. He groaned, thinking that it would be another fairy princess, like the one already to be had in Smallville, Amber's cousin, Lana. He smiled to himself, "Maybe she is a Lana look-alike, and after all she is 21. You haven't even met her Lex, lets just talk to her first, see if she can speak for herself."
Just then, Madeline came in, "There is a Ms. Waters here to see you, shall I send her in?"
"Yes, Madeline," Lex replied going to take his seat.
Amber approached the office cautiously, dusting her sparkly black pants and pulling her red sleeveless shirt down for one last time. She smoothed her hair then knocked on the large wooden door. "Come in," a masculine, confident voice replied. She cautiously opened the door, carefully walking over to the empty seat in front of his desk, looking at the handsome, expensively dressed, not to mention bald, billionaire that sat in front of her. His eyes scanned her, smiling. He held out his hand, "Hello, I'm Lex, Lex Luthor."
Lex's eyes widened as he saw the beautiful, slim auburn-haired woman walk nervously to the seat directly in front him. He greeted her, grinning, waiting for her reply. "Hi, Mr. Luthor, I'm Amber Waters, I was wondering if you're still looking for a new secretary for Luthorcorp."
He sensed the nervousness within her voice. "Why of course, Ms. Waters, do you think you are qualified?" Lex asked, scanning her flawless face.
"I am pretty good at typing and I suppose I am pretty good with that kind of thing." He nodded.
"Can you start tomorrow, Ms. Waters?" He smiled, which he rarely ever did for real.
She smiled back, "Absolutely, Mr. Luthor. Under one condition…" "What's that?" he smirked, liking her personality already. "You don't ever call me Ms. Waters again. My name is Amber."
