[Peter's]

I woke up at 4am. Anxious.
The guard had apparently gotten inside while I slept and delivered my outfit for the day

I put it on and did my best at combing my hair, but there was no fixing that bird's nest
So I looked and smelled expensive, but I wasn't exactly acting like a spoiled brat

That was what everyone was expecting, correct?
Should I act like a spoiled baby? Should I cling onto Mr. Stark and demand things? That wasn't who I was. It wasn't who Mr. Stark wanted either..

But, I mean.. who would want a shy college student that couldn't finish a sentence without going red.
What would I even do in that meeting?

I mean I shouldn't do much talking right?
I'll just.. sit there next to Mr. Stark and.. do what exactly? Stare at the men?

The door was knocked making me jump
I grabbed my phone before opening the door
"Good morning, happy!"

"Someone's energetic.." he mumbled, the tiredness still lacing his voice and eyes
He turned and started marching towards the limo with me in tow

The car ride was mostly silent except for my asking of questions. Happy wasn't the.. happiest about answering, but he did no less.

We arrived and Bruce escorted me to the meetings room Mr. Stark was currently in
"Thanks, Bruce" I said and he nodded
"No need for thanks, sir"

I nodded and entered, freezing to see that Mr. Stark was already with the men
"Sugar! You're here. Happy did say you'd be a little late" he said, getting up

"Late? He came at six and there wasn't any traffic" I whispered to him when he was close enough
"Actually, he arrived at six twenty" he whispered back

"Oh.. didn't even realize"
"It's okay, Angel"
He sat down and motioned for the seat next to him which I immediately slid in

The men looked to each other then to me
Okay, Peter! Time to be brave!
"Are you gonna continue?" Shit! No!

My voice sounded timid and small, but impatient all the same so Mr. Stark gave me a small pat on the knee as a 'you go kid' gesture

I gave a small nod to him in return
"Like we said, boss, we were robbed. By some of Natasha's men!"

"Natasha isn't so stupid as to steal from me"
"Boss, she's the only person we could think of" another said making tony fume

He slammed his hands on the table, pushing the chair back as he suddenly got up
"Well then think harder! Where is my money?!"

"It's just 7million, Tony" pepper mumbled from the corner of the room. Has she been there the whole time?! I didn't even notice her

"This isn't about the money, this is about order!" His hands balled to fists and he whispered menacingly "find whoever stole from me"

The three frantically nodded
"This time it's 7 million out of gun deals. Last time it was 4 million on development of our new weapon. These neighboring scum keep stealing from me"

"Not necessarily.."
Everyone turned to me and I realized that I said that aloud. I felt my face heat up, but tried my best to play it off. I cleared my throat and sat up straighter

"Can I see your numbers?" I asked, turning to pepper "Our numbers? On what?"
"Everything. Every exchange this past year"

Pepper looked to Tony who shrugged an motioned to me. She clicked away on her tablet before handing it to me. I took it from her before getting up

"Have fun, boys. I have work to do" I gave Tony a kiss on the cheek and left
