y/n

the media was going absolutely insane about what happened in monaco and of course i was left to handle it. i had been on the phone all day defending tony while trying to start running the company and it was hard.

as i was walking down the steps i got a phone call, "hello" i answered "hi this is sherry o'neil from insider and i just wanted to talk to you about your promotion" she says "is it ok if i call you at a later time" i ask "oh yes is noon tomorrow good for you" she asks "that's great" i say "all right thank you so much bye" she says before hanging up.

right after she hangs up i get another call from the senator "hello senator stern" i greet "hello miss y/l/n congratulations on the promotion" he congratulates and it doesn't sound genuine at all "thank you very much" i thank "so i called you to talk about iron man" he starts "how do we know that iron man can still protect us" he asks "iron man has been protecting us and what happened in monaco proved that" i states and he sighs "mr. starks behavior has been erratic and if it doesn't change soon we will take his suits please let mr. stark know that" he states before hanging up.

as i walk downstairs i let out a frustrated whine, i walk into my office and shut the door before i sit in my chair. i run my hands through my hair as i take a deep breath trying to calm myself after everything that has happened in the last twenty four hours.

everything is just an absolute mess from the company to tony to me to everything, it's a hot ass mess and i have to fix it.

i get myself together before calling tony and thank god he answers on the first ring "hello" he asks "hey i was wondering if you still wanted to have this party" i ask "yeah i feel like it would give everyone time to have fun even though it is at an awful time" he replies and i sigh "alright i'll see you when you get back" i say before hanging up.

tony

after getting off the phone with y/n i could hear the stress in her voice, i know being ceo is stressing her out but also everything that happened in monaco is just adding on to that.

i refuse to tell her that i'm dying because so much is going on right now and i don't want to put anymore on her, as much as i want to i just can't.

i walk into the house and walk to y/n's office and see her on the phone writing something down. "oui je comprends mais ce n'était pas notre intention d'être attaqué au grand prix donc vous ne pouvez pas nous blâmer pour les dommages causés à la piste de course, nous avons déjà convenu que nous étions prêts à payer les dommages et les factures d'hôpital donc si tu m'excuseras je dois y aller"

(translation: yes i understand that but it wasn't our intention to be attacked at the grand prix so you cannot blame us for the damages done to the race track we already agreed that we would pay for the damages and the hospital bills of the racers so if you will excuse me i have to go)

"you look lovely" i compliment and she gives something between a smile and a grimace "i feel lovely" she says flatly and i chuckle "how's everything going" i ask and she looks up at me "it's fantastic absolutely amazing" she says sarcastically as i go to sit down in the chair in front of her.

"the senator called me earlier and said that if you didn't get it together they're going to take your suits and i bet they're talking to rhodey right now" she starts and i nod "also i just got off of the phone with the chairman of the monaco grand prix and i agreed that we would pay for the damages and the hospital bills of the racers" she continues and i just nod "tony i'm going to go insane if we don't fix this shit quickly" she finishes and i nod.

"it's all right i promise, i will do my best to fix this ok" i ask and she nods "this is going to take a while to clean up tony" she says and i nod "i know, i got this trust me" i say and she gives me a look "what" i ask "nothing" she says with a small smile on her face "are you saying you don't trust me" i ask playing hurt making her laugh "no well... no" she says and i scoff  "you don't trust me i am so hurt" i say and she laughs even more "thank you" she thanks and i smile "always" i say and she smiles at me.
