Jon should've gave us a 1 hour break. I can't forgive myself for being so slow. I should've kissed her immediately when I grabbed her waist. But still, that felt perfect. It felt right, like everything feels so right to me. It's like, a piece of me that was lost but i've found it.

I've calmed down a bit so went to find Hayley. But she nowhere in sight. I looked at my chair but she wasn't there. I saw Eric walking by so asked him.

"Hey Eric, have you seen Hayley?"

"Yea. She got a call. They're having an emergency meeting so she rushed to the company." Eric said.

"Will she come back?"

"Maybe. If that meeting doesn't take too long." He said as he help me put the suit on.

That gave me pain. I want her to be here. You know, for an inspiration.

When the suit was on me we continued shooting. I hope she'll come back as soon as possible. I need her here.

HAYLEY'S POV

I got a call from the company. We're having an emergency meeting. God! Being a CEO and Chairwoman is hard stuff. No day offs.

And I was so frustrated when we didn't have the time to kiss. What a buzzkill! And an emergency meeting?! Jesus Christ! Now I won't be able to continue the heat with Robert. But wow. I'm hilariously amazed that he gained confidence but I can still feel that his nervous. I can't hardly wait to tell this to the fuckers.

That kiss felt different. I've shared an experiencing of kissing with guys, uh, a lot of guys actually. But that doesn't matter. That kiss felt different. I don't know why, it just feels different. In a positive way.

I have to get back to that studio as fast as I can. Whatever shit meeting we're about to have in the company, i'm dealing with it now.

ROBERT'S POV

It's been 3 hours and Hayley's still out of sight. I'm getting hopeless without her here. I like her so much. But the problem is, she's a playgirl. Maybe i'm not the only guy she's teasing right now. That's hurtful. I know there's someone else, I know who Tony Stark is. I know my character so well and i'm dealing with him in real life in a figure of a woman.

There's been a malfunction on Jeff's suit but Eric fixed it. Even if Jon was a buzzkill earlier for cutting that kiss, I still owe him. If it wasn't for him Hayley wouldn't even know that I exist. That i'm just a guy that she met in Paris.

We took a break again and Jimmy gave me a cup of Starbucks coffee.

"She'll be back." Jimmy said.

"How'd you know?" I asked.

"I don't actually know. I'm just guessing."

"Not that. How did you know that I was sad when she left?"

"It's not that hard to read your emotions, man."

Then Jimmy knew that I need some time alone. So he walked away. I sat on my chair that Hayley sat on earlier.

HAYLEY'S POV

This god forsaken meeting's been running for ages now! It's been 3 hours! Their set will be over soon. I kept on looking at my watch.

"Is there any problem Ms. Knight?" said Felix Jenkins. Felix's my rival company. The Jenkins Industries. They make guns and all that stuff too. He and his wife Dorothy are my rivals in business. They can't exactly compete with me because they're like in early 50's. Their company's a big joke. They're always mocking me about how powerful their guns are. Such an annoyance.

"No. Not at all. I was simply visualizing your report about how.... Interesting it is." I said sarcastically. His wife glared at me.

Why is this woman even here? She knows nothing about anything that's going on here. God.

Fucky Felix continued on his boring and unimportant report about the progress in his company yada yada yada (which is not true) Why is he even discussing this in front of the other company's CEOs? For the love of Odin. This is such a waste of time. I should be there working magic on Robert Downey Jr right now.

I kept on glancing at my watch. This is the most boring meeting i've ever been to. An hour passed. I couldn't take it anymore. I texted Brooky, my head of security. His name is Edward Brooks actually. I just call him Brooky.

<Get me out of here.>

He replied seconds after I sent the message. <On my way.> so I waited for him.

Then I heard a knock on the door. I know who it is. I've never been so relieved. Brooky entered the door and said.

"Miss Knight, there's been an emergency on Section 4. The monitors went haywire." Brooky lied.

"If you excuse me." I said to the people inside. They didn't object at all.

When the door closed, I thanked Brooky.

"Thank you so much. Best bodyguard ever."

"Why are you so eager to get out of there anyway?"

"First of all, it was a waste of time. Second, Fucky Felix just keeps on talking nonsense in there. Third, the Iron Man set will be done anytime soon." I said gesturing Brooky to come with me in the elevator. I pressed button that leads to the ground floor.

"Eric just texted me that it was done." Brooky said.

"What?! No! Oh this is bullshit!" I yelled.

I texted Jon to apologize.

<Sorry I wouldn't be able to stick around.> I clicked Jon.

Then a text from Robert came,

<Are you still on the meeting?>

<I lied to get to my way out. Is the set done?> I replied.

<Yes. Am I bothering you?> Even if he just texted this, I know that he's nervous.

<No. Not at all. Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll make it up.>

Then he didn't reply after that. I saw that it was already 7:00pm. I texted Troy.

<Where are you guys?>

<I'm on my way to Hitler's house. Come on.>

<Alright. I'm on my way.>

That boring meeting screwed Robert's opportunity of confidence. I don't think I will see him in the next few weeks. I'll be flying to Germany the next day for some business stuff. Guess i'll be back when the Protectors of Earth tour will take place.
