"Peter, you need to check this. It seems that some of the technology we're developing in collaboration with Wayne Enterprises has been stolen."
The woman speaking wore an elegant secretary outfit that suited her striking features perfectly. A traditional white blouse peeked out from beneath a fitted black blazer, a few buttons daringly undone to reveal a sensual glimpse of her ample cleavage.
Her vibrant red hair was styled professionally, though a few strands had escaped and brushed attractively against her face.
Her makeup was simple, yet enhanced by bold lipstick and eyeshadow that complemented her skin tone beautifully.
This was Jessica-Peter's secretary-and it appeared she hadn't changed much, even though it had been two months since the Lords of Justice incident.
There had been a few problems in the streets, but as always, Spider-Man handled them. Nothing major had happened lately-the situation was unusually calm.
Peter, seated behind his desk at his company, looked up at Jessica.
"Really? Which branch did this happen in?"
Lately, he hadn't heard of any criminals using advanced tech, nor had there been any significant thefts.
"It was the Gotham branch," Jessica replied, clearly annoyed. This didn't seem like the first time such an incident had occurred.
Peter sighed.
"Alright, just forward it to Wayne Enterprises. I'm sure they'll take care of it, as usual."
Jessica nodded.
"I'll do that."
She hesitated for a moment before adding,
"Listen, Peter... are we still on for dinner tomorrow?"
Peter looked at Jessica, his mind drifting through memories of the past two months.
His relationship with Jessica had grown closer, mainly because he decided to focus more on understanding his company from the inside-to avoid bankruptcy, like in the past.
Financial troubles had haunted him before, but this time, he was determined to keep the company he inherited from his counterpart alive-along with his family's legacy.
Speaking of family, Peter still hadn't contacted Susan in this dimension-his sister here.
Anyway, due to his commitment to learning the company's inner workings, Jessica had been constantly by his side. Though it was problematic having to hide his ignorance about his own company, that didn't stop him from growing closer to her-reminiscent of memories from another version of himself.
And while Peter still didn't understand the full nature of his connection with Nubia-whom he hadn't seen in about two and a half months, supposedly on a mission in Themyscira-he'd noticed Diana growing closer to him. But she hadn't said anything outright, despite being the bold type.
That's what pushed Peter to take the first step and ask Jessica out.
I mean, who could resist a woman as beautiful and gentle as her?
Peter smiled at Jessica, making her blush.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, Jessica."
The promise might've seemed silly, considering Peter was infamous for missing or being late to dates due to his responsibilities as Spider-Man and the secrecy of his identity.
Some might argue that if women knew the truth about his identity and duties, they would understand.
But unfortunately, that's rarely the case. Mary Jane Watson was proof of that.
Peter added,
"I'll pick you up from your place tomorrow at 8 PM. Deal?"
Jessica nodded enthusiastically and quickly left the office, trying to hide the redness in her face.
