Tony's Soulmate- "le anime gemelle si trovano sempre"

Chapter 4

Third Person Pov:

Virginia 'Pepper' Potts, Tony Stark's formal personal assistant, now CEO and friend, is intelligent, independent and sometimes bold in her work. She possesses a keen eye for detail and never seems to fail at a task given to her, and the task at hand is finding an interior designer to renovate some important offices, including Tony's and her own.

While going through some portfolios, Pepper found a perfect person for this job, Y/n Y/l/n. Especially when she learned that Y/n could speak Italian and that maybe she could help here because Tony is dying to learn the language. Well, he tried learning, but he feels it's not enough.

Tony has been coming up with ideas every day.....

Literally every day.

"Maybe I should speak Italian with you for a day; it will be great practice. What do you say, Pepper?"

Striding towards Pepper's office, Tony comes in with his fifty-seventh idea.

Pepper sighs and then kisses her teeth.

"And how would I understand you, Tony? I don't know the language, remember."

"Oh."

......

......

"Calm yourself, Tony. I have seen your hard work, and I can assure you that you have mastered the language."

Tony gives a look to Pepper, which screams, 'are you serious right now?!'

"Alright, maybe not 'mastered' it but it's not just the language that will bind you to your soulmate; it's the feelings, the trust, and the love that binds souls together. There is more than language, Tony."

"What more is there, Pepper? I don't even know who my soulmate is! I haven't even met her! How would I know?" Tony starts his list of worries that Pepper has already memorized by now.

"- I mean, I am 33 years old, turning 34 this year, and I haven't met my soulmate! What if she knows I am her soulmate and-

"Tony, stop. You are overthinking."

"- maybe she ran somewhere far away because she knows my past and hates me! What if she doesn't want-

Meanwhile, Pepper is stunned with Tony's behavior because he thinks of the worst scenario whenever it's about his soulmate. She wonders 'where did the cocky Tony Stark run off?' Pepper has finally had enough.

"Listen to me, Tony Stark! Nothing is wrong with you! Some people met their soulmates when they were teenagers and those who met their soulmates in their mid-life. It's not up to us. It's up to fate and destiny."

Tony calmed down, and said: "I really hope my soulmate won't judge me because of my past."

Y/n's Pov:

Ben and I are sitting on the couch, drinking hot coffee, listening to 'Radioactive', playing on the T.V. when my phone rings. I pick up my phone and see the call is from an unknown number. Seeing my furrowed eyebrows and confused face Ben glances at the phone screen. He mutters the number on his breath and realizes something.

"Benji, what is it? Do you know this number?"

To answer this, he quickly turns the volume of the T.V. down and whispers

"Pick it up!" I looked at him quizzically, and he just snatched the phone from my hand.

"What are you doing, Benji?!"

"It's from the Stark Industries! They are calling you, meaning they are offering you a job, Y/n!" He answers excitedly.

"Wait, how do you know it's from Stark industries?" I asked him, confused.

"It's because the first two digits are 82, and all the employees working at Stark Industries are given a new number starting with 82."

"Oh! Okay. Uh..Let me answer the call."

(Phone call starts)

Y/n: "Hello?"

??: "Hello, am I speaking with Ms. Y/l/n?

Benji signals Y/n to put the call on speaker, and she does.

Y/n: "Y-yes, yes, you are. Who is this?"

Pepper Potts: "My name is Pepper Potts. You may call me Ms. Potts. I am speaking from Stark Industries, and I believe you have applied for a job as an Interior Designer."

Y/n: "Yes, I applied as an Interior Designer at Stark Industries."

Pepper: "Yes, Ms. Y/l/n and we have shortlisted some candidates for the job, including you. We have a final interview to conduct, which will decide who gets the position."

Y/n: "Alright! When do I have to come for the interview?"

Pepper: "The interview is coming Tuesday, 2nd April, at 10:00 a.m."

Y/n: "Okay, Ms. Potts. Thank you so much for the information. I will be ready for the interview."

Pepper: "That's great! All the best, Ms.Y/l/n."

Y/n: "Thank you, Ms. Potts."

(Phone call ends)

I had to stop Benji from squealing when I was walking to Ms. Potts.

"OH, MY GOD! Y/n, both of us will work at Stark Industries!"

"That is if I get the job. If I don't, I have to look for more options."

"Come on, Y/n. Think about it! If you get this job, you won't have to worry about anything else. All our bills will be paid and no more rent! We will be free from every bill!"

"Wait, Benji! No more rent? How much do they pay you?"

"Well, my salary would be...wait...uummm, I am calculating.....yes, $151,200 per year."

...........................................

...........................................

..........................................

I am sure if I was drinking, I would've choked, really bad!

How much did he say???

$151,200 is like $12,600 per month!

MERDA SANTA!

Wait, Benji is an architect but the highest income an architect earns is around $116,710.

Che cosa nel fottuto mondo?!?!

"Benji, in the States, the highest income for an architect is around $117,000, so how the hell are they paying you so much?!!!"

I mean, I have no issues, it's not my money, but I have to ensure we are not being fooled or worse.

"Y/n, calm down. I know you don't watch the news daily and don't know much about Stark Industries but trust me, it's huge! Like fucking huge!!! And it's not fraud; let me show you."

He takes out his phone and some newspaper and starts showing me any news related to the Stark Industries.

And that is how I learned that Stark Industries is no joke. It is indeed huge! I guess I have to wait for Tuesday now. Even if I get the job, it will greatly help me. Benji was right; maybe we will be free from bills.

"If I get this job, I will have some time for my personal life; maybe I can finally try to find my soulmate." I say this to myself, lightly touching my fingers on my shoulder.

Translations:

"Merda Santa!" – Holy Shit

"Che cosa nel fottuto mondo?!!" – What in the fucking world?!!
