Unwanted Marriage

9. Close to danger

They couldn't meet Sharon's eyes as they walked out of Tony's office carrying their stuff. "Chief Editor, what happened? Suddenly our team lost two people, now we have two left!" Tony wasn't deterred by her outburst and replied. "Those two have resigned voluntarily, no one forced them. Group 2 also has 2 people but is still performing better than Group 1. Now the newcomers are getting better, if you don't put more thought into your own work, you will lose your position as well!" As much as she liked to act arrogant, she couldn't do it in front of Tony.

"Sharon, looks like you have been well rested?" You asked as you were on the way to Tony's office. "Y/N Y/L/N, I really don't know what is so great about you that so many people have been smitten by you. Even the Chief Editor has been taken care of by you, well done."

"I also want to know, but I guess it is not possible for you. After all, the wrinkles at the end of your eyes are very obvious."

"Chief Editor, this is what you wanted." You said as you placed the file on his desk. "These are the collection of the newly nominated best actress, Becky Cooper's information and interviews from recent years. You are interested in interviewing Becky Cooper?"

"I did think about it, but her actions and personality aren't so great. So I am still thinking about it... How about this, the 30th anniversary dinner of Stark News will be held in 2 days time. There will surely be celebrities and businessmen attending the dinner. We will decide on the interview topic after the dinner."

"Okay, then I will get back to work for now."

"Wait! Please let Sharon know that she is in charge of the decorations and seating arrangement at the venue. The incident you had in the company is already settled but I should still inform Mrs Romanoff right?"

"I understand."

And so, Sharon had to rush everything in just two days and make sure that everything was settled before the anniversary dinner. She ran around making sure that she got the venue right and met with several vendors to ensure that they will be delivering on the right time.

"My old classmate had helped to find the venue, I will need some overtime to settle on the arrangement. Please hurry, make sure that nothing will go wrong during the event. And please, can you get Y/N to come in." Tony told Sharon. That meant that her work went to waste and she has to call all the vendors again to cancel.

"Don't you find this interesting?" Tony just called you in to have some fun in making Sharon run around for nothing.

"Natasha, tonight is the company's 30th anniversary dinner, I won't be able to come home for dinner." You told her over the phone. "Okay."

Weird, why was she so quick to say yes today?

You carpooled with Wanda and arrived at the hotel and there were plenty of people inside. There were plenty of treats and drinks to go around and Wanda immediately gravitated to the tarts places around the table. You stayed around her and grabbed a drink for yourself.

As you looked around you saw Natasha in the corner with Clint. "Ay! Go look after her!" She gave you a small nudge towards her. "How come you are here today? Why didn't you say anything?"

"To surprise you, you don't like it?" You pouted. "Although Tony Stark is the youngest of the Stark family, he still has many connections. If I show up, I will be giving the Stark Family some face.

Of course Sharon's eyes would be on you all the time to make sure that she would be able to extort you if you did something wrong. "This shameless bitch, Natasha Romanoff is already married and yet she still stays so close to her!"

"Ms Romanoff! What an honour!" Tony Stark came around to welcome her. "Who do you think I'm here for?"

"Mr Stark, Wanda and I are going to have a talk with Becky Cooper."
