After our makeup and hair was finished, we helped each other get into our dresses. I wore a long gold dress that touched the floor without heels on. There was a slit that ran up the right side and exposed my leg from the middle of the thigh down.

I quickly made my way into my room and checked the safe. The files and flash drives were still in there and I locked the safe again. My phone started to ring. It was Tony again.

"Hey," I said into the phone.

"Nice press announcement," he said and my eyes widened. "Did you have fun on your spa day? How about your nice lunch date?"

"I'm not sure how you expected me to hold a press-"

"You should know by now, you lived with me for two whole years. You move away and all of a sudden you're out of control?"

"I—"

"Oh and don't worry about the announcement now, the company released an official statement from you. And by you, I mean me because you couldn't be bothered to do it."

"Tony, listen I'm sorry," I said and put my head in my hand.

"I'm just so worried about you. People could've been targeting you all day because of your carelessness." I felt myself start to cry a little bit. "What are your plans tonight?"

"Peter Nicks's mansion party," I said with a shaky voice.

"There will most definitely be reporters there, make sure you try to bring up what we talked about earlier. Bye Dais." The call disconnected and I took a deep breath, carefully wiping away a few of my tears. I looked in the mirror and my makeup didn't seem to change.

I walked into the living room portion after grabbing a small purse and putting my shoes on. We took a few pictures of each other and with each other before getting into a nice SUV to take us to the mansion.

When we got there, I immediately noticed the flashing lights and crowded stairs that led up to the mansion. I got out of the car and felt the flashes being directed to me. I walked up the stairs with my friends right behind me. People were calling me both Daisy and Brooklyn, telling me to pose for them. I waved at a few of them and was stopped by a reporter.

"Daisy, I saw that you put out a statement through Stark Industries that the potentially dangerous project you're working on is for health research purposes? Is this true?" She put the microphone near my face.

"Yes, this is true. With the project being in its early stages, I haven't been able to completely eliminate the dangerous risks it has. I can assure you that when it's completed, however, it will help research in the medical field. I will not allow my project to be released without completely eliminating the risks."

"Thank you," she said with a smile and nod. "How are you enjoying Monaco?"

"It's absolutely beautiful, I'm so happy I get to visit. I'm excited to go to the ocean later on. It's been a nice break from my usually hectic schedule."

"I'm sure it has been. Thank you for taking the time to talk with me."

"No, thank you. Enjoy your evening," I said with a smile before rejoining my friends who were waiting off to the side. "That was draining."

Once we were in the mansion, we were surrounded by people who smelt rich. We walked around, finding a few drinks along the way, before I noticed Peter Nicks himself walk up to me.

"Daisy Stark," he said, chuckling. "May I call you that?"

"Of course," I said with a smile. He extended his hand to me, I did the same. He planted a light kiss on my hand and I could feel myself blush.
