Chapter 25: Tony stark II
As Dave, Trish, and Diana stepped out into the spotlight, the cameras instantly snapped toward them. The attention was undeniable, especially on Trish and Diana, whose stunning beauty captivated everyone in sight. Their elegant presence, combined with their confident poise, made them the center of attention. But soon, eyes began shifting to the man leading them—Dave.
The crowd, filled with influential figures and high society elites, watched him with curiosity. Whispers floated through the room as people tried to identify him. Some initially labeled him a playboy, based solely on his company. But when his last name, Garcia, was quietly shared among the guests, attitudes quickly changed.
"Garcia? Seems like he's inherited his father's excellence," many quietly remarked, their opinions shifting from dismissive to respectful. It was clear that Dave was someone worth paying attention to, and more importantly, someone not to be underestimated.
Meanwhile, Obadiah Stane stood at a distance, watching the trio with a calculating gaze. He smirked to himself as he observed the growing interest in Dave. 'This is going to be easier than I thought,' he mused. Stane had already orchestrated a plan to manipulate Dave—his eyes narrowing as he signaled to several women in the room. These women were carefully selected for one purpose: to seduce Dave and, in doing so, steer him into giving up his valuable Stark shares.
The night, in his eyes, would be a turning point.
Obadiah Stane adjusted his suit as he confidently walked toward Dave , extending his hand with a smile. "Mr. Garcia, thank you for gracing us with your presence tonight," Stane said with a laugh as they shook hands.
"Haha, it's my pleasure, Mr. Stane," Dave responded, matching his energy with a polite laugh. They stood together for a moment, posing for the cameras, their interaction drawing even more attention from the crowd.
"I'll be heading inside, Mr. Stane. I believe you're busy tonight with your guests," Dave said, nodding slightly as he began to move toward the grand room.
"Of course, of course! Lots of guests to welcome," Obadiah chuckled, nodding in agreement. He watched Dave walk away and then discreetly signaled to a group of women standing nearby. These women, prepped and ready, nodded back in acknowledgment. Their mission was clear—they were tasked with approaching Dave, each one strategically planning how to lure him in.
"He's exactly as you described—confident, and someone who thinks he owns the world," Trish remarked, her eyes narrowing as she observed Obadiah's subtle gestures from across the room.
Dave, catching her comment, smirked. "It's always the ones with the loudest ego who make the quietest moves," he replied casually, glancing toward Stane, who was now deep in conversation with a few influential guests.
