Pepper's PoV:
I woke up with a horrible headache.
"Maybe the fourth glass of wine was a little bit too much" I said to myself, laughing ironically. I stood up with a groan and opened the blinds. The sunlight worsened my headache, but it was time for me to get ready for work.
I went to my bathroom and started brushing my teeth when I saw two missed calls from Happy.
Suddenly, my phone began to ring. Happy was calling for the third time, but this time I answered.
"Good Morning Ms.Potts" I heard from the other end of the telephone.
"What's the matter Happy?"
"Are you okay? You sound kinda exhausted. Do you need anything? Medicine?"
"I'm okay Happy, I think I've just drunk too much wine yesterday" I responded while shaking my head slightly and regretting it instantly.
"Wine? Pepper that doesn't sound good. You won't become an alcoholic like Tony, will you? Are you okay?"
"Yes Happy I am okay. I only wanted to enjoy some excellent tasting wine while watching the sun going down and I underestimated how big that glass was. No need to worry."
"Hmm okay, if you need something, call me okay?"
"I will, thank you Happy. I owe you one. Now, not to sound rude, but why did you call me in the first place?"
"Oh yeah, I'm so sorry, the first applications came in. I'm going to send them straight up to your computer, so you can read them."
"Thank you so much!" I said, a little more excited that I planned to sound.
"No problem, have a nice day at work!"
"Work? Oh shoot, Happy? Can you please drive me to work? I might still be hungover and I don't think I'm able to drive."
"Yeah sure, that's my job. I'll be there in 15 minutes."
"Thanks, bye", I hung up.
I needed to hurry a little and threw on a white trouser suit with black stripes, some black pumps and a black blazer. I scrunched up my hair to a ponytail and brought my bangs into position.
A golden necklace and some golden earrings rounded my outfit for the day off.
I was ready to go.
When I was walking downstairs, I saw Anthony, sitting on the big couch. He didn't deign to look at me, he didn't even look up or answer when I greeted him.
"What a stone cold asshole", I thought to myself.
I opened the big door on the entrance. Happy was already waiting for me and I didn't want to be late for work.
He greeted me with the words "Your Taxi Ms.Potts" and opened the door for me. I thanked him with a smile and sat down. He sat down on the drivers seat and the engine went off.
"Stone cold" I thought, when we left the Stark estate.
