Lex Luthor tossed and turned in his giant king-sized bed. He opened his eyes to a bright and cheerful room. Looking over at the clock, he couldn't help but think 7 a.m. was so early to be waking up.
Tossing the silk sheets aside, Lex rolled out of bed and decided that he needed some coffee. Grabbing his robe, Lex opened the door to his bedroom. While putting his robe on to cover his silk boxers, he walked down the long and elegant hallways to the kitchen where he asked his chief to grab him a cup of coffee and have the butler sent it into his office.
Lex went back to his room and changed quickly into his nice and expensive black pants and form-fitting shirt. Lex sat down on his bed, listening to the racket coming from his kitchen. He scratched his bald head and wondered how getting just a cup of coffee would make that much racket?
Lex opened the door and walked down the hall, past the kitchen, into the office where he sat behind his desk in his big, black, cozy leather chair. He had started working on a report over LuthorCorp when Jenkins, his butler, walked into the room with a tray with a big mug of coffee and a plate of cookies. Lex looked up eagerly at the plate and mug that was set in front of him. "Thanks Jenkins", he said as he took a sip of the warm coffee.
"Anything else I can get for you sir?" asked Jenkins in return.
"No thank you," Lex said. But he forgot, "Wait Jenkins!" Lex said standing up. Jenkins stopped at the doorway and turned on his heels.
"Yes sir?"
"I forgot, can you ask Pierre to put some coffee in a thermos, I'm afraid I have to leave early today."
"Yes sir." Jenkins walked out of the room, closing the door behind him. Lex grabbed his mug and took a swig before grabbing a couple cookies, the report, and his cell phone and walked out the front door of his house to his very expensive and FAST Ferrari. He smiled as Jenkins came out with a thermos full of coffee. Thanking Jenkins, Lex got into the car and revved the motor when it started. He loved the sound of that. Waving good-bye to the butler that was standing on the front steps, he pulled out of the driveway and down the street, heading toward the Talon in Smallville.
