At noon.
The two members of the Ten Commandments Gang who had used the rings were tied up like rice dumplings and sent to Gemma and Fitz's laboratory.
Barbara asked, "How long will it take?"
Gemma said: "Commander, this is science. Science is not magic. It cannot be rushed."
Barbara nodded.
Right.
There is no rush, and since so much time has passed, the chance that Obadiah Stane is still in New York City is actually very small.
at last.
Barbara just warned Gemma and Fitz to hurry up. After that, she looked at the watch on her hand and said to Natasha and Xin Zhao: "Let's go to dinner together?"
Natasha asked curiously: "Didn't you have an appointment with Pepper Potts at noon?"
Barbara nodded: "Yes."
Natasha and Xin Zhao glanced at each other, and then said, "Forget it, Xin Zhao and I also have an appointment at noon, so we won't go there together."
"Oh well."
Barbara didn't force it and walked directly towards the elevator. After all, the time she and Pepper agreed upon was coming soon. If she didn't go, she would be late.
at this time.
"Commander Morse."
"...Is something wrong, Mr. Stark?"
Tony Stark, who came back with Natasha and others, stopped Barbara who was about to leave. After Barbara turned around, he coughed and said: "If Commander Morse sees Pepper, you can Tell her I'd welcome her back to work for me."
Barbara laughed.
After Tony finished saying this, he made an expression as if he hadn't said anything just now.
Barbara thought for a while, then nodded and walked towards the elevator: "I can try, but I think this sentence should be the most appropriate for you to say."
That's what it says.
But if Tony could say this, it would not be Tony, but Nini.
In a restaurant about two corners from the SHIELD Center in New York.
"Barbie, this way!"
Barbara walked into the restaurant and immediately saw Pepper Potts waving at the window not far away.
Come closer.
The two women hugged.
After a while.
After Barbara ordered the meal and handed the menu to the waiter next to her, she clinked glasses of red wine with Pepper and said, "How was work?"
"Resigned," Pepper said.
"how come?"
"I don't like it."
"Yeah?"
A smile appeared on Barbara's face: "The boss has changed again?"
Pepper looked up and saw that Barbara didn't speak.
Barbara shook her head: "Although I am not from Wall Street, I have heard Camille analyze that the three companies acquired in the past three months are all considered to be of high quality. You are still helping Tony make money." ah."
Pepper denied: "I didn't."
After all, after staying in Stark Industries for so long, even after graduating from elementary school, Pepper Potts's vision is no longer on the same level. After leaving Stark Industries, even if companies of the same level are willing to poach people, Pepper will not. Those who are willing to go, because those big companies know very well what they want.
Then you can only find a small company.
Moreover, it is still a small company with development potential. If the company does not have any development potential, Pepper is not willing to give in. But for a company with development potential, if you join the company the next day, it will not take more than a week at most, and there will definitely be big capital airborne. Come on, if you don't agree, you will take the stance of either acquiring or suppressing.
Um.
This was unexpected.
Barbara said, "What's next?"
Pepper shrugged and took a sip of red wine: "Forget it, let's take a rest. By the way, are you free on the weekend tomorrow?"
"What's wrong?"
"Come with me to see the apartment?"
"Looking at apartments?"
Pepper nodded: "Yes, when I was at Stark Industries, my room was in Stark Tower, so I never bought a house in New York."
"Then you now..."
"Live with my cousin."
"All right."
Barbara smiled and then asked curiously: "By the way, why haven't I heard you mention it before that you have a cousin?"
Pepper shook her head: "Last year, her family's situation was a bit complicated."
"complex?"
Barbara said: "So it's not complicated now?"
Pepper nodded, with a trace of confusion on his face, and then said to Barbara: "Actually, the reason why I asked you out today is because we haven't seen each other for a long time, and then, because of my cousin."
Barbara tilted her head and looked at Pepper: "You want me to investigate your cousin here?"
Pepper nodded: "Yes!"
Holly Potts, this is the name of Pepper Potts's cousin, but that was her maiden name. Now, Pepper's cousin should be called Holly Kennedy.
Pepper said: "My cousin can be said to be a woman favored by angels."
Barbara: "..."
Angel?
Favored?
Barbara frowned and interrupted: "Sorry, Pepper, can I ask what color your cousin's hair is?"
Pepper glanced at Barbara, who looked a little serious: "Brown, what's wrong?"
Barbara waved her hand, motioning for Pepper to continue.
Brown hair, then no problem.
If you want to be favored by that guy, there is a hard condition. Blonde hair, white skin, and long legs. Without one of these three items, it is impossible to attract that guy's attention.
This is why Barbara never regarded Ms. Gwen Gwen and her secretary Camille as potential rivals.
Gwen Gowan is a lesbian.
Camille? Long legs are long legs, but frankly speaking, those long legs are fake.
so……
Even if what Pepper described is correct and her cousin is favored by an angel, then the angel of favor cannot be someone.
According to Pepper, her cousin Holly has been very good-looking and smart since she was a child. Not only does she have the blessing of angels in terms of beauty, but she also seems to have the blessing of angels in love.
Holly came to New York not long after graduation. At first, she went to Pepper, but three months later, Holly found the person she thought was right in love.
Gerry Kennedy.
A passionate, humorous and impulsive Irish man.
Even after four years of marriage, Holly always felt that this seemed to be a dream, because whether it was career or love, everything that went smoothly felt like a fake.
Hear this.
Barbara said, "What's the problem?"
Pepper looked up: "A year ago, Gerry Kennedy was diagnosed with bone cancer. Five months ago, I attended his funeral, but..."
There was a pause.
Pepper lowered his head, took out a photo from the bag next to him, and handed it to Barbara. He did not whet his appetite and said directly: "But, ten days ago, the private detective I sent out took this photo. The photo The man in it is Gerry Kennedy, who is supposed to be dead."
died?
Resurrected again?
Why am I thinking of someone again?
Barbara blinked and took the photo. It was undeniable that the man in the photo was indeed somewhat charming, and he had the charm to fall wherever he went.
only……
Barba looked up at Pepper: "Did you film a private detective following your cousin?"
"After I left Stark, you know, there were always guys trying to get close to me," Pepper said.
Barbara nodded.
Although Pepper has resigned, Pepper's net worth is still there. It may not be a big deal on Wall Street in New York, but except for Manhattan, it can still be ranked in the top twenty at least.
In New York, there are many women who want to be exposed in one night, and there are also many men. And just like some women, there are more men with pretty faces and no brains.
"Then I hired a team of people and went to the destination," Pepper said.
Barbara frowned: "Did you dig it up?"
"If it were you, wouldn't you?"
"……Then what?"
"No!"
"Nothing, empty," Pepper said.
Barbara raised her eyebrows. The empty coffin and the resurrected person, well, she was indeed somewhat interested now.
at this time.
Pepper's phone rang. After a while, after hanging up the phone, Pepper said to Barbara: "My cousin will be here soon. I lied to her that I forgot my wallet at home and asked her to help deliver it." come here."
Barbara nodded, although it was a little sudden, but Barbara was also curious about what happened to Pepper's cousin?
Resurrection from the dead?
Or a demon that escaped from hell?
Across the road from the restaurant.
Holly, who has long brown hair, long legs, white skin, and a uniquely beautiful smile, looked at the man wearing sunglasses and a hood next to her and said: "Gerry, this is my cousin, I think, She should be able to accept your resurrection from the dead."
Yes.
The man next to him who looked like he had fallen at first sight said to his wife: "No, I don't think they will understand. Besides, I am not Gerry Kennedy now, remember?"
The smile on Holly's face revealed the dimples: "Whether your name is Gerry Kennedy or Mike Banning, you will always be mine, right."
Gerry…
wrong.
It should be said that Brand, the vengeful flame spirit who took over Gerry Kennedy's body and took the name of Mike Banning, kissed Holly's forehead with a doting look on his face: "Of course I am."
Said.
Mike Vengeful Flame Soul Banning looked at the watch on his hand and said, "It's time for me to leave. I have an interview in the afternoon."
Holly said, "Again, what job are you interviewing for?"
Mike smiled and said: "It's a security company, there's nothing dangerous, I promise."
Holly nodded: "Okay, I'll prepare a meal for you in your apartment that night. Remember to come back."
Mike looked serious and serious: "I promise."
Holly gave her a sweet kiss with a smile on her face.
In less than a minute, these two people had kissed more than five times. A model of kissing less and more often?
soon.
Holly started to cross the road. As she walked, she ignored traffic safety and turned her head to give her husband, who was standing there waiting for her to come back to life after crossing the road, a special smile.
Not long after.
Holly opened the door and entered the restaurant.
Mike on the opposite side of the road was also preparing to leave.
at this time.
Boom!
