"Oh good, Y/N, you're here", came the tired voice of Pepper Potts as she pulled you by your elbow right into her office.

"I just arrived, Miss Potts", you said, looking at the woman's flushed face."Is something the matter?"

"You know we have Stark Expo tonight", the woman began, moving around the room in great panic. She looked over to you and you nodded your head, "Well, I was so busy over it that I somehow forget the papers Tony needs by tomorrow morning."

"That sounds bad." You said. "Can I be of any help?"

"Yes! Yes, you can!"She happily said, placing her hands on her hips as she looked at you."It's this pile over here."She gestured over at the rather large pile of paperwork sitting on her desk. "I need you to enter it all into  the base on my computer, then bring the flash to me, on Stark Expo."

"Miss Potts, are you sure? I mean, I've only just started -"

"Y/N, I'm sure you'll do great." Pepper smiled at you. "I believe in you."

"Okay, but -"

"I'm sorry, but I have to go make final arrangements and I need to get ready." Pepper interrupted you."Remember, bring it to me tonight! Tony needs it in the morning!"

"Yes, but -"

Before you could finish your next sentence, the door of Pepper's office were slammed shut behind her. You huffed, looking around the large office, before you eventually slumped into Pepper's chair and started typing right away.

You spent the rest of your day typing and typing before you, finally, were done. With the last document transferred over to the flash, you saved everything and unplugged it from the computer. You made sure everything was at its place before you shut the computer down and got up from the chair, cracking your back as you finally stood up.

As you looked at your watch, you realized you still have a whole hour by the time the expo starts. Deciding you should probably change your clothes and shower, you exited Pepper's office, heading straight for your apartment.

An hour later, the Uber dropped you off right at the Stark Expo. You carefully made your way into the building, careful of your brand new heels, which you paired with pink satin silk dress that went just to your ankles.

You saw Happy standing by the luxurious white car and you realized it's probably the CEO's car. You met Happy, the CEO's bodyguard, a few days ago at the company when he dropped off something for Pepper. You smiled at him as you passed by him, but he just nodded at you.

You entered the Stark Expo. The room was filled with many people dressed in suits and elegant dresses. Greeting a few workers, you made your way over to Pepper, who was just finished chatting with an elderly man.

"You made it!" Pepper smiled at you, stepping up to give you a hug.

"Yes", you nodded with a smile, before quickly finding the flash in your bag."Here's the flash."

She took it and raised her head to look at you again, "I'm going to find Tony and I'll be right back. Don't you dare leave, drinks are on me tonight."

You shrugged, "Fine. I got nothing better to do for the rest of the evening. I'll be by the bar."

And with that, you and Pepper parted. You stood by the bar, ordering a glass of champagne for yourself. The waiter handed you the glass and you thanked him, before turning towards your right, looking at the people next to you.

You felt a hand on your left side, resting on the small of your back. You turned towards the person, finding a handsome man looking right back at you.

He was in his early forties, with black hair, brown eyes and black goatee on his face. He smelled heavenly, you took notice when he wrapped his arm around you, but you could also smell alcohol in his breath.

"Mr.Stark!" You realized, placing the glass of champagne back on the bar, as you greeted the man.

"I'd prefer you call me daddy, beautiful."

"Oh."You blushed, looking around the room for Pepper.

"And who might you be?" Tony asked, taking a step closer to you.

"I'm Miss Potts' assistant." You said, trying to maintain a respectful distance from your obviously drunk boss, so you don't do something you might regret later.

"Weird." He chuckled. "Pepper didn't tell me she has an assistant." He placed his fingers under your chin and tilted your head up, making you look at his brown eyes. "Now tell me who you really are."

You opened your mouth to protest, "I already told you, Mr. Stark."

"Well, I don't believe you, little girl."

"TONY! Stop sexually assaulting my assistant!" You both heard Pepper's angry voice as she approached you. He dropped his hands at his side and you both turned to look at the angry woman, as she now stood by your side. "I was looking for you to give you this." She harshly grabbed his hand, placing the flash into his open palm. "Did he bother you, Y/N?"

Tony clicked his tongue, "Y/N." Your name rolled off his lips as he looked you up and down like you were some candy, the hunger evident in his eyes."It suits you."

You blushed again and looked at Pepper, "Everything's fine, Miss Potts."

Tony turned his head towards Pepper now, "Since when do you have an assistant?"

"Since you decided to give me loads of work." Pepper said back. "She worked the whole day to finish those", she gestured at the flash in his hand.

"Well, I suppose I should thank you, Y/N." He said, taking your hand in his, placing a gentle kiss on the back of your palm.

You smiled at him, "It's fine, Mr. Stark."

"I have to go now." He said, looking at his watch, then back at you and Pepper. "I'll see you around, Y/N."He spoke to you. "It was a pleasure."

And with that, he parted from you and Pepper and went on his own way. You let out a breath you didn't even realize you were holding, as you turned back towards the bar, taking the glass of champagne and downing it in hope to call your nerves.
