CHAPTER LXXVIII - DON'T FLIRT WITH MY SISTER

May 2010. 11:25. Principality of Monaco, Monaco.

Third Person POV.

Sophia was looking through the window at the beautiful streets of Monaco. They had arrived a couple of days earlier and decided to get to know the city a little better, but today was business day. Today they were going to the event and the Monaco Historic Grand Prix lounge.

As Sophia smiled looking through the window, her best friend turned to look at her quickly.

-Enjoying the view?.- Happy asked and Sophia turned to look at him.

She had decided to sit at the front while Tony and Pepper were together in the back.

-Yup. I love this place, it is so... Baroque? Rustic? Vintage? I wouldn't know how to describe it, but it's mesmerizing.- Sophia said and Happy smiled.

He knew Sophia loved to discover new places and loved every culture, every representation of art, everything that just screamed "Art" in general.

After a few more minutes of driving, the police bikes that were escorting them stopped in front of them, and they had finally arrived at the hotel.

-Boss, we're here.- Happy said and Tony turned to look at the entrance, filled with reporters on one side.

"Hotel de Paris", was one of the points the Grand Prix race cars were going to race in front of, so they had a barricade in front of it.

As soon as the car stopped, Tony got out of it, Happy as well so he could open Pepper's door, and just as Sophia was about to get out herself, Tony opened the door for her and offered his hand. Sophia smiled and took it, stepping out of the car. As soon as she heard the flashes of the cameras and cheers greeting her and Tony, she smiled at them and waved, just like her brother.

She fixed her dress and as she started to turn for the door, Tony offered his arm, and Sophia gladly took it.

Sophia was wearing a white one-sleeved dress that reached above her knee and had a heart-shaped neck, white stilettos and a red lipstick that accentuated the whole outfit. Her hair was made in a low bun with a few curls hanging from the sides.

Not going to lie, she looked gorgeous.

As they made their way inside, they were stopped by a few people saying hi and introducing themselves. Sophia went to say hello to one of the board members from Dumont Industries that was there.

As she walked a couple of steps behind Pepper and Tony, she eavesdropped what they were talking about, and Happy was a couple of feet behind Sophia. When they had reached the lounge part, Tony turned to look at Pepper.

-You know. It's Europe. Whatever happens in the next 20 minutes, just go with it.- He said and Pepper scrunched her eyebrows.

-Go with it? Go with what?.- Pepper said as she turned quickly to look at Tony.

Sophia also scrunched her eyebrows as she was now on Tony's right side.

-Yeah, go with what?.- Sophia asked and just as she turned to look at Tony, a voice made her stop.

-Mr. Stark?.- The voice said.

Oh no.

Sophia knew this voice perfectly.

She knew this was part of the plan but she didn't know this was part of the plan. You know what I mean?

-Hey.- Tony said as Pepper looked at the front with a surprised look on her face.

Sophia turned, only to find a woman in a salmon coloured dress, with shoulder-length flaming red hair and a small smile on her lips.

For a small moment they made eye contact and almost instantly the red headed woman turned back to Tony.
