Chapter 24: Diana Desires
After getting ready, Dave calmly sat down, scrolling through the news feed on his phone. "Like in the original timeline, Tony won't even be there," he mumbled, smiling to himself as he pondered how he should approach Stark when the time came.
While scrolling, his eyes landed on a beautiful reporter. "She's the one," Dave whispered, locking onto her contact. In the original timeline, she was the one who made Tony aware that his company was still dealing in weapons behind his back. Poor Tony, unaware of what was really going on in his empire.
"Anyway, leaving Tony aside," Dave chuckled, "Don't I owe Obadiah a bullet to the head for that kill order he put on me?"
He smirked as the memory passed and muttered, "Tonight's party will be fun." Glancing at the door, he saw Trish step out, wearing a long white dress with a seductive side slit that revealed her toned thighs as she moved. Around her neck was a dazzling necklace that matched her earrings perfectly, accentuating her beauty.
"You look stunning," Dave remarked, admiring her.
"Says the handsome guy himself," Trish shrugged with a playful smile as she took his hand.
"Let's go," Dave nodded, and as they stepped outside, they were met by Diana. She was wearing a long black backless dress, her hair tied neatly in a bun, adorned with a striking red diamond necklace and matching earrings.
"Oh my, I'd better keep an eye on my secretary tonight," Dave teased, looking her up and down. "Who knows when someone might try to snatch her—from me."
Diana blushed slightly at the compliment and moved to his other side, linking arms with him.
As the trio made their way out to the car, the night air was crisp, and the city lights glittered around them. Dave opened the door for Trish and Diana, allowing them to slide into the back of the sleek black car. He joined them, settling in comfortably as the driver pulled away, heading toward the Obadiah mansion where the party was being held.
The hum of the engine filled the silence for a moment before Diana broke it.
