Chapter 126 - 122
Yelena left the luxurious, spacious office, and as she opened the door, she bumped into Pepper Potts coming in. Yelena gave a polite nod and walked past her without a word.
Pepper glanced at Yelena, hesitating to speak, then entered the office. She glared at Tony Stark, who seemed deep in thought, and snapped, "Mr. Stark, if you could, please refrain from letting your lady friends waltz into the Stark Industries office."
"You know, with the stock market plummeting, most of the board members are already dissatisfied with you."
Pepper wouldn't admit she felt a bit jealous. She just couldn't stand Tony Stark's "decadence."
However, she suddenly noticed that instead of the usual carefree, teasing Tony, his expression was serious, and he seemed lost in thought.
"Tony?" she called, waving her hand as she approached his desk, trying to get his attention.
Her voice brought Tony out of his deep contemplation. When he saw Pepper standing there, he instinctively smiled and said, "Wow. Believe me, today is your most beautiful day, my dear Miss Potts."
"Thank you, Mr. Stark. Thank you so much for the compliment," Pepper replied with mock anger, although she was relieved to hear his familiar tone.
She wanted to say that if he didn't know how to give compliments, he shouldn't bother trying.
