A/n: Hello people! Another update! Read this chapter and let me know how it was! Enjoy you reading!

It's been an hour since the panic attack incident, and I am still so goddamn nervous about it. The man who helped me has a golden heart. Oh God! I just realized I didn't even ask his name. I couldn't even thank him properly. Sighing, I wait patiently for my turn, sitting on the benches in front of the interrogation room. Now that I have noticed, there aren't many applicants for the job. Hardly six people were waiting here, including me. The opening of a door puts a stop to my racing thoughts. I look towards the sound and see a red-haired, beautiful woman dressed in a grey, cap-sleeved dress, ah....Ms. Potts. Taking her eyes off the files, she looked around and called, "Ms. Y/l/n?"

Taking a deep breath, I stand up and answer, "I am here."

I walk towards her and greet her with a smile, "Hello, Ms. Potts."

She politely says hello and guides me inside the interrogation room. She walks around the desk and settles down. There is only one more person in the room who will also be taking my interview. I try not to look around much and sit in the chair facing them.

"Before we get started, Ms. Y/l/n. There is something you need to know." The man speaks for the first time I entered the room.

I furrow my eyebrows and I slowly ask, "What is it?" Praying to God that it isn't something unpleasant.

 Ms. Potts leans forward and puts her hands on the table, interlocking her fingers. "We haven't mentioned it until now, but we need to inform you before the interview takes place. This interview is taking place to select an interior designer for our company but also includes working for both, i.e.; Stark Industries and The Avengers. And don't worry, you will be paid accordingly."

That statement surprised me; I didn't know the Avengers would need an interior designer! I am not complaining though, I mean she said I will be paid accordingly so I don't think I have an issue with that.

"Alright, I don't think it will be a problem. Anything else?"

"Actually, yes. Mr. Stark needs a personal assistant. Considering that you have experience as an assistant, we will also be interviewing you for that and your salary would be separate. If you have any issues, you can tell us."

A personal assistant? An interior designer to a P.A.? Will I be able to do it? It is a huge company and having a job here could help me. Benji told me not to lose any opportunity coming. It wouldn't hurt to try, I guess.

After contemplating my options, I look at Ms. Potts and answer her honestly, "I don't have any issues with that."

"Alright then, let's get started!"

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

(Two hours later)

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

Pepper is delighted with the selection of the P.A. and the interior designer.

All she can think of is: 'This is how you hit two birds with one stone.' Satisfied, she enters Tony's lab with a smile to give him the news but her smile drops when she doesn't see him anywhere.

"Tony?" No answer.

All the time when she asks him to leave his lab, he is in it, and now that she is trying to find him, he can't be seen here.

Then Pepper's mind clicks and she goes to the top floor where he lives. Walking towards the bar, she finds him pouring a scotch and then lazily throwing himself on a couch. Tony had finally taken a break from his lab and looks like hasn't slept for days in rows. Pepper shakes her head in displeasure.

"Tony, remember when I told you about finalizing an interior designer?"

"Mmm-hmm., what about it?" Tony waves his hand, totally unconcerned to the topic.

"Yeah, so we selected someone, and she will also be your P.A." Pepper cheerfully gives him the news.

"Oh...okay. Who is she? Her name? Anything?"

"That's why I got her file. Everything about her is in here. Read it and you'll know. I need to go and announce it and then discuss everything with her."

Tony takes a glance at the file and nods his head. "I'll look into it."

With that Pepper leaves him with his alcohol and wonders, "When will his soulmate come and handle him? I really wish he meets his soulmate soon."

Meanwhile, Tony islosing hope every day of meeting his soulmate. Sulking of the fact that he hasn'tmet her yet.

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

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

Ms. Potts has told all of us to wait here; she will be announcing the name of the hired person. My heart is beating too fast, I fear it will burst out any minute now. She comes in with a big smile on her face as she starts talking.

"To all the people sitting here, you've done a wonderful job today. It was a tough decision to make but unfortunately we had to choose one person out of all of you. So our new interior designer is................................Y/n Y/l/n!"

My eyes go wide as I didn't expect it at all. I look to my left and right not knowing what to do. Like what am I supposed to do now?

Ms. Potts calls me and I stand up, walk toward her, a little sub-conscious knowing that the other job applicants are looking at us.

"Congratulations, Ms. Y/l/n." She shakes my hand and walks me inside a room telling me to wait for her.

I sit and wait for her, still wondering how I got the job in such a massive company. Ms. Potts then comes in carrying some papers.

"Ms. Y/l/n, now your job is an interior designer but after 3 months, you will be given the P.A.'s position. Until then, I will train you for that. Is that alright?"

"Perfect! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, Ms. Potts."

"You can call me Pepper, after all we will work together from now on."

"Alright Pepper. In that case, you can call me Y/n." I smile.

"Fine, Y/n. You can join us from next Monday."

I excuse myself and call Benji to give him this good news.

(Phonecall starts)

Y/n: Benji, guess what?

Drama Queen: What? What happened? Are you dying?

Y/n: Dying? *sighs* Benji, I got it!!!

Drama Queen: Wait! You got it? You got the job? You are not lying are you?

Y/n: Yes, yes, yes, Benji!! I am not lying!!! I will send you the paper details once I get them.

Drama Queen: OMG!!! Yes! My bestie and I will earn millions now!!!

Y/n: Benji, I know you are dancing. Save the celebration for when I some home.

Drama Queen: Alright, alright. But on a serious note, CONGRATULATION, Y/N! I feel like a proud mother! *sniffling*

Y/n: *laughs lightly *Stop it Benji! Okay, bye for now. See you soon.

Drama Queen: See you soon, Cara!

(Phonecall ends)

After discussing the salary and timing, which to my shock is amazing, I get up to leave. Pepper stops me and says, "I think, a tower tour would be good."

A tour of this monstrous building??

Absolutely!
