010. Fancy
Pepper's last item for the morning briefing is, "I've tentatively scheduled the Investor's Gala for the 14th."
Tony hums, noting her displeased tone. "Since when do you have a problem with fancy parties?"
The past is past and she doesn't want to dredge up old hurts that he doesn't remember; the argument or the building that fell on top of her.
"I just don't see the connection between a think tank and throwing a party for billionaires," she lies.
"Investors," he corrects. "The party is to thank them. Also, you don't let me buy you dresses without a good excuse."
