Lecture 1:Chapitre 1 :

Pepper walked slowly and right. Her face had not to reflect tiredness and sadness which she felt. She knew better that anybody what she had to say, and what it meant …

The noise of its heels surprised the girl with strawberry blond hair and with too thick making-up.

Who are you?

The helper of Mr Stark, answered her by trying to follow her speech which in simple term said "see you baby".

I see said the young woman by scanning Pepper of eyes, you came to announce me that he is not there? for honestly how much times does he have you ask to make it? she asked t by noticing the reactions of Pepper.

Pepper fixed the young woman, shared between the desire to confront her, to defend his boss, and the reality which inflicted on him this woman.

All that she knew it only too well, but she did not dare to leave, for fear of was hurt herself.

She was only hoping that one day all these girls would not exist any more. That there would be only she. Well on her included Tony's allusions to her respect but it she was not as well as wanted to live her history.

In obviousness the girl was very perceptive.

You love him is this step? she with pity asked her.

My life does not look at you. Pepper argued by keeping the head.

Believe me, the girl went on by heading for the room to take her business, if you want it it is going to be necessary to go out of your shell of small timid girl and there …

Keep your allusions for you, Pepper got worked up, Tony and I sums simply

Humph I see, added the girl with a sarcastic smile, you are obviously more than simple colleagues.

Pepper was silent. The fact of credit pronounced the forename of her boss led the girl to understand the truth, and in the booby-trapped at the same time.

But by reflecting it the young woman was right: She had to be made there! The attitude of Tony Stark facing feelings would never change. And, his problem of alcohol deteriorating since it had become Iron Man, will not dispose things.

If he had to change for her, he would have made it. It had been already one year since he had announced to the press that he was Iron Man. And the life it had changed? For her? In no way.

How long he would still need him?

When the girl, dressed, passed in front of her, Pepper kept her.

Wait

The young woman fixed her, a heard smile which Pepper shared.

Mr Stark is down

Thanks a lot..

And the blonde young woman took down the staircases which led to Tony's workshop. Pepper regretted her it that she had just made?

Later fright to be, but not for the moment. Involuntarily she had taken revenge on all her nights with wrong to sleep because of him, or to bother her by allusions to see him then with a model in the arm. She savoured her victory and imagined the head of her boss when he would see the young woman going down.

Young woman whose forename he had probably already forget. Is possible be it was that differentiated her of all its pines up in its look? She wondered you. Is possible be a proof was it that…

No! Nonsense! She was her helper, it was normal that he remembers his forename. And so she took back her job.

She took a cup of coffee which she deposited under documents and headed for the workshop of her boss. When she opened, she was surprised at not seeing him, somewhere, to discuss with Jarvis or has knock up.

Frowning eyebrows Pepper put down the cup and the documents about the small table.

To you here is says a dark voice

Pepper jumped and nearly overturned the cup. This tone was not familiar to Tony. Not towards her. Ordinarily it was it which was irritated.

There were in a corner, standing, arms crossed to fix her severely.

I did not know that you wanted to see me, answered she by keeping her self-control

I have dù forget to call you I was dealing, having said him leaving towards one of his computers and by patting.

Pepper waited one instant but since Tony did not speak, she preferred leaving.

What has you took to bring this girl here! said he finally by looking at her

Sorry? Pepper taken outright asked

You are productive considers you consequences? And if I had been working on a plan or on my armour?

Now that she rethought there she felt stupid. His small revenge would have been able have serious consequences.

But what he got from you? he went on to you, Why did not you say to him what you say to all other girls?

Pepper was burnt-out and the speech of this girl resounded in the head and did not put her in a good mood. Especially since never he had him dialect on this tone which she thought at least was gone too far: She was not her slave!

Except your known respect you did not want this girl, you had only to return her yourlself!

Tony was surprised tone and look of Pepper.

For him it was not so much the girl who was a problem that makes it into that a foreigner penetrates in the workshop where he kept all his plans. He did not know who was this girl nor what she wanted, and since Obadiah had doubled him, sending her in Afghanistan to kill him then had threaten the world by stealing from him the plans of Iron man, he proved to be particularly distrustful.

Only Pepper and Rhodes had the permission to tread underfoot in its workshop. She knew it however. But what he had to him took? It did not resemble her.

I would have been able. But this be have cost nothing to you to say to nothing to him and to make as usual. He argued it.

If this bothered you so much you would have was also possible not bring back this young woman in your bed! This be have cost nothing to you. Especially since I I am not paid to do the cleaning behind you.

There was a short silence. Tony wrinkled with a short smile, what put uneasy Pepper.

If it disturbs you that many that I bring somebody back at home, you had only to say it me said it with a smile, even if normally, my private life does not look at you.

Pepper took back the cold and said blood calmly:

This does not look at me from instant or I perform stains as assistance, concerning your meetings for example etc but since you say, your private life does not look at me, I therefore do not follow pay to play the capricious nannies of star. Left you her avoided, irritated.

To tell the truth the allusions he had hurt, because in spite of herself, she was cheerful and at the same time she knew that same evening other one would replace her.

If you are so wrong as this here you have only to leave …hissed t it offent by the last purpose of her helper, person keeps you!

Pepper fixed Tony with a look at the same time was surprising and sad. Thing which she tried to hide behind from anger and from contempt.

That would become you without me?

You are replaceable… you are not the only helper of the world

No, said she with a top of contained anger and by going up, but I am the only one who could support you.

Once again they confronted one another of look. Tony was trapped between anger, the incomprehension of the strange behaviour of Pepper and desire to keep her. Well on he had not absolutely thought what he had just said. But went him to accept it?

Since I am replaceable you will find the letter of resignation tomorrow morning. Goodbye Mr Stark.

She left so leaving Tony agape. Pepper wanted to move away as soon as possible but her was joined by Tony.

It is what your problem?

There is not problem except exaggerations proof of which you make

Very well you want an increase? You will have it.

No …

Very well I will return the girls myself this goes to you?

Tony …

Pepper we are friend not?

The young woman cleaned her saliva.

You know that I have only you, said him by fixing her in eyes

Oh stop, murmured Pepper by rolling eyes, you have only me when you need it.

It is really of what you think?hesaid Pepper slowly asked t him a bit shocked

The young woman raised the eyes towards him. She stopped herself from not crying.

It is the truth. I never lie to you.

Is possible be but …

What you reproach for to me exactly?

The young woman smiles ironic.

In version in short or… long version?

Court if it is possible, answered him entertained.

Desolate it is impossible of summary all this. To begin how please you whom I believes that I I am all that you have yes …….

If what? he beginning asked t understanding

Pepper taken hold again and said:

I am not your wife mr Stark.

She fixed him gravely by saying it, but the eyes shone a lot. Tony did not know what to say. Pepper escaped from the look and left by looking down without turning round.

The young man stayed an instant, planted, there, then his look followed the itinerary of the young woman.

This answer touched him. She marked the beginning of the end. It revealed him feelings confirmed by the young woman and reciprocity of his. He had not wanted to hurt Pepper because it meant much more that whatever other one girls for him.

To be with her would represent fright, to lose it, to disappoint it, the injured woman or that she is killed to attain it to him.

She was the only person who remained him and he had lost all those whom they had. He saw her every day, spoke to her her every day, teased her and shared more than of professional debates.

She cared about her good to be as much as he cared about it for her, even if he did not want to show him. He thought that she had understood that all these girls support only a game.

What did their miss? A kiss? He had not ceased making allusions to Pepper but her had she immediately delayed on the place. If she liked him, why? Of what had it fright?

And to him? Of what had it fright?

Why was it if to complicate?
