Stark Industries Building.
In Virginia Pepper Potts' office, a mountain of documents was neatly arranged on the table.
Pepper, wearing black professional attire, looked through the documents in his hand and followed closely behind Tony Stark.
Tony just came out of lab retreat!
According to her understanding, the playboy's heart had long been in a state of despair, and he didn't even remember what he had promised before.
Peper felt it was necessary to remind Tony of recent related matters.
"Tony, there are two things I think I need to remind you."
"Say it."
Tony stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, shaking the red wine glass in his hand, admiring the beauty of the night.
Tsk.
I don’t know how the contact with Happy is going.
Last month, due to a full schedule, he missed the cover girl invitation in July.
I have to say, this is really a huge loss.
He has always been a man who refuses to suffer, so he specially set aside time today to invite the two girls from July and August, and the three of them would spend this wonderful night together.
Carnival night.
It's exciting just thinking about it.
Seeing Tony's appearance, Pepper rubbed her temples with a headache and reminded her again and again in an aggravated tone.
"The first thing is that you have been nominated for the Pinnacle Award and will go to Caesar's Palace to receive the award tomorrow night."
"Obadiah will definitely go there when the time comes. Just let him go up and get the trophy."
Tony drank the red wine in his hand and said nonchalantly.
The pinnacle award?
It's not as important as the beauty.
Besides, he wins so many awards every year, where does he find the time to participate in them all?
Magazine girls need to work three shifts, not to mention these so-called awards.
Why.
Who can understand the feeling of being a genius?
Awards that may be difficult for others to achieve in their lifetimes, but for him, are so easily available that he even has to set aside a special grocery room to place these trophies.
Who knows his troubles and pain?
Tony shook his head, savoring the aftertaste of red wine in his mouth, feeling filled with emotions.
"You can't always count on Obadiah!"
"The winner of the pinnacle award this time is you. This matter will attract widespread attention."
"If you don't go, the reports that already criticize the Stark Group will intensify their attacks, and your personal image will be even worse!"
When he said this, Pepper couldn't help but frown.
Tony Stark's reputation has never been very good, and it is extremely polarizing.
Many people say that he is a modern Leonardo da Vinci, or the messenger of death.
But Tony didn’t think it mattered!
He has always believed in the life philosophy of his father, Howard Stark - only by being thicker than other people's sticks can you achieve peace.
"They are jealous of me. Geniuses are treated like this, aren't they?"
Tony waved his hand and said confidently.
"Okay, okay, don't be nagging. I will get the award when the time comes. Don't you know me yet? Am I the kind of person who breaks my promises?"
"It's because I know you that I know you are!"
Pepper sneered.
She was sure that Tony had never thought of attending the Pinnacle Awards ceremony.
Nine times out of ten, I plan to go out to find a magazine girl or cover model and have a good night.
She knew this playboy's temperament very well.
"Forehead……"
Tony's face froze, then he shrugged helplessly, spread his hands, and said innocently.
"It makes me sad when you say that."
"alright."
Pepper was too lazy to pay attention to Tony's pretense, opened the file, and continued.
"Then Colonel Rhodes invites you to go to the Afghan Military District. Don't forget it."
Rod?
Tony was stunned for a moment.
Frowning, he thought about it carefully for a long time, and then he remembered that Rhodes had, probably, maybe, said such a thing.
"you forgot!"
When Pepper saw this, she narrowed her eyes slightly and kept looking at Tony. After a moment, she said decisively.
"NO, I have not!"
Tony's reaction was quite violent.
"I'm a genius. When have you ever seen a genius and still forget things?"
"Aren't you a ready-made example?"
Pepper smiled slightly and asked.
"..."
Tony was silent.
All right.
He had indeed forgotten this matter. A certain research in the laboratory was very important. He had rarely left the laboratory recently. He had selectively forgotten a lot of these trivial matters.
But that's not important.
Jarvis will remind him when the time comes, and oh, there will also be Pepper, his caring assistant.
"Colonel Rhodes hopes that you can go to Afghanistan in advance, just after attending the Pinnacle Award Ceremony."
Pepper frowned, remembering a certain piece of news, and said with a worried expression.
"No reason?"
Tony almost used all his strength to resist.
"I have arrangements, okay, can you give me some free private space?"
Beautiful women, alcohol, and a rowdy night!
It will be a super party!
Tony has rehearsed it in his mind. The night of the Summit Awards Ceremony will definitely be a crazy night!
But now, Pepper told him that he was going to set off overnight to go to that ghostly Afghan desert military region!
Who is sick?
"Why didn't I know about this? Rhodes didn't notify me in advance!"
"You blocked the laboratory and Rhodes can't contact you. In fact, I just snatched you out of the laboratory!"
Pepper looked at Tony with a calm expression.
Obviously.
Tony didn't receive the message, and it's not anyone's fault.
"Also, turn around and look at the desk behind you. I'm responsible for these piles of documents and orders."
"Tony, I think you are free enough."
"Pepper, you have to know that the reason why Stark Industries can survive does not rely on these so-called orders, but on this place."
Tony pointed at his head.
"It relies on my clever mind."
"You know, I'm doing a special research, and I don't like anyone to disturb me while I'm doing it."
"That's right, so I'm not complaining about you, I'm just telling you about your future itinerary. This is what you promised before. Tony, you can't break the promise."
Faced with Pepper's businesslike appearance, Tony became a little impatient.
He walked to the wine cabinet, took down a bottle of champagne, opened it, and poured the wine.
"This wine is very good, why don't you drink it?"
Tony tried to change the subject.
"This is the office, you know, I don't drink here."
Pepper patted the documents in her hands, closed the folder, and threw it on the table. She knew that Tony was impatient to hear what she said.
"You know what I mean, don't worry about these work things all the time. If you have the time, you might as well care about me."
Tony said something that he took for granted. When Pepper heard this, she almost laughed in anger.
She raised her eyebrows and looked at Tony seriously.
"OK!"
"Then I really have something related to you, and it's not a work matter!"
"oh?"
Hearing this, Tony shook the champagne in his hand and became more or less interested.
"The New York Police Department sent someone to inform you that an organization called Black Hand was targeting you."
"The boss of the Black Hand is called Valon, and he has announced that he will kidnap you!"
"Huh? Kidnap me!"
Tony was stunned for a moment and looked at Pepper in disbelief. After realizing that she was not joking, the playboy smiled evilly.
"This is so cool!"
The daily life of a playboy is always boring and boring, now is the time for fun!
