Chapter 3
The Next Morning
Lex entered the Talon, hoping to get a strong coffee and see his friends. Not even seeing his partner, Lana, he ordered the pick-me-up and sat in his usual booth alone, skimming through his envelope once more for anything he might have missed. Many minutes must have passed by as he got lost in his "confidential" documents.
"Mr. Luthor!" cried a girl stnading in front of him. Shocked at whom he saw, he choked out a,
"Mrs. Monroe--"
"May I?" asked she, gesturing to the bench across from him.
"Oh, of course." nodding.
"What'chya reading?" Lex was caught off gaurd as if he didn't know what she was referring to.
Realizing his sin, he felt like a deer caught in the headlights. He snapped the folder shut.
"Just reading up on the company." Which wasn't a lie. Why start any kind of relationship off with a lie if you don't have to?
Felicity sat with a cappuccino, warming her hands by holding the cup tightly. "How did your meeting go?" She smiled as if satisfied he remembered.
"Cryptic," she admitted honestly. "He called is 'Level 8.' Do you know anything about that?"
"Level 8..." Lex mused on this, but came up with nothing. "more than likely, I'm your best chance for figuring this out." he informed with a smile. "I'll look into it, if you like, but I have to know where to contact you if I come across any information."
"Of course!" she cried, dark hair bouncing.
Felicity Monroe found Lex Luthor to be very attractive. She couldn't seem to tear her eyes from his irresitable blue ones. He was wealthy to be sure, but with true honesty that meant absolutely nothing to her. She couldn't imagine what it would be like to be him, but she she would like to get to KNOW him...
"So... Mrs. Monroe?"
"Oh, I'm sorry." She pulled out a card, but pulled it back before handing it to him. "Two things first. 1) I'm not married... you said 'Mrs'." she added, noting his perplexed expression. "2)
Please, it's Felicity." She gave Lex what he thought of as a "killer smile," and left the Talon.
Later that day, Lex found himself in his mansion office, pouring his father a scotch.
"So, what was it you wished to speak with me about, son?"
"Level 8." Lionel stared at his son for a moment, unsure of how to respond.
"Level 8... Nothing comes to mind." Lex sat down across from his father, an amused smirk playing on his face. He would have brought Felicity up but he did not want her to lose her job. Though, in the long run, that may have been the nicest thing he could have ever done for her. "Hm - now that you mention it, Lex..."
