The era of American comics begins

Chapter 382 The Proud Little Witch
From the moment she got in the car, Wanda seemed to feel that her nervousness had increased tenfold.If 120 points were used to describe her previous nervousness, there should be no doubt that she should have broken through 150 points and went straight to the [-] mark.

Don't panic, there's nothing to be nervous about, it's just a dinner party.Although she has never attended such a formal occasion since she grew up, has she never eaten pork or seen a pig running?She has seen this kind of dinner party, which is the main social form of the upper class, at least many times in TV and movie programs. It is nothing more than a session where everyone shakes hands, chats, eats and drinks.
Maybe.

Speaking of which, the atmosphere along the way was also a little awkward, because she had been nervous all the time and she didn't even realize it.It seems that since getting in the car, the two people in the back seat have no communication.Since Michael got in the car, he drew a light blue screen and was concentrating on researching something. She took a sneak peek, and it seemed that it was a trivial matter reported to him by various branches of Tianjian.He threw most of them into the recycling bin after a cursory glance, apparently not much that deserved his attention.

It's too strange to go on like this, it doesn't look like a date at all, but it has a sense of sight that the BOSS is taking the secretary to an important negotiation. Well, although the other party didn't say it was a date.But it didn't matter, Wanda felt that she needed to say something to open up the topic and relieve the gradually freezing air.

Wanda thought for a while, until they crossed three streets before finally choking out such a sentence: "Today. The weather is pretty good, and you can see the stars at night."

Her voice was getting lower and lower.

Stupid, can you be more creative?How stupid, he wouldn't answer this kind of topic at all.Besides, how is it possible to see stars in the New York City area in what age?This kind of inferior technology really can't stand it.

"Well, yes, it's not bad." Michael said lightly.

Wanda blinked her big eyes.

He actually answered?Could it be. Could it be that he has always wanted to say something but because he is a boring coquette, he doesn't know how to say it?Probably not.
However, her attempts ended there.Then they didn't say anything more, until the car drove them straight to the destination.

Wanda took Michael's arm and kept adjusting her emotions as she walked into the venue.Take it easy, Wanda, you can beat the aliens and save the world and you can certainly handle this.Observe how other people do it more, don't act like a country girl who has never seen the world.
If the full score is [-] this time, Wanda feels that she has the right to score [-] points.At least for the first half hour, she felt relatively good about herself, shook hands with the ladies and gentlemen present, and then imitated others and added some interesting topics as naturally as possible.For a little while, she even really started to get into the role, a little bit like a lady from a famous family.

Michael was dragged to chat by an old military general who had cooperated with the group many times, and Wanda wandered around the buffet table with a plate.

"Alone, beauty?"

Wanda turned her head and saw a handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes and good features, wearing a gray suit, staring at her with undisguised hints.

Wanda pointed to herself: "You mean me?"

"Of course, no one in this hall can attract my attention except you." He said with a smile, "In fact, compared with your beauty, all the women in this world are eclipsed."

Old-fashioned pick-up, textbook tone.Of course Wanda knew that he was deliberately flattering her, but this was the first time she heard someone compliment her like this and say she was unhappy, it must be a lie.She said with some embarrassment: "Thank you. But I am not alone, I have colleagues"

"Don't be so absolute, how about giving me a chance?" The man smiled and took a step forward, gently reaching out to stroke the red hair on her cheek.

Then his wrist was slammed, and it felt as if he was being clamped tightly by a steel pincer.

"What?" The man turned his head stiffly, and saw that Michael had blocked between the two of them at some point, clasping his wrist tightly, with unbelievable strength.

"Mr. Papasso?" The man recognized him instantly.He looked at Wanda, then at Michael, and suddenly seemed to understand something.

Standing in New York, this young man can be regarded as a first-class group young master. The group's influence ranks among the best in the whole city. In addition, his family has a good personal relationship with a member of Congress. Therefore, in the whole city, he Almost unscrupulous.

There are only a handful of forces in New York that can really stabilize them.In the past, the Fisk Group was considered one, but with the disappearance of Kim Bing and Wilson Fisk, his power quickly collapsed, and today there is nothing to be afraid of.Then the former Osborne Group is also counted as one, but... well, everyone knows what happened to Osborne Group later.Then there is the Rocks Group, which was the front company used by the Hand to conceal its identity. Of course, that company also went downhill with the disappearance of the person in charge, and has now been acquired by the Paso Group.

Now there are only two remaining groups that really stand at the apex of New York and are absolutely untouchable by anyone else.One is the Stark Group - Needless to say, the other is the Paso Group.

"Ahaha, Mr. Passo, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to meet you here." The young man understood what had come over, tried his best to ease the embarrassing situation, and turned to Wanda, "Who is this?"

"My name is Wanda, Wanda Maximoff." Wanda introduced herself politely.

Michael gently let go of the young man's red wrist, and added calmly, "My girlfriend."

He said it, so naturally. Although he had already accepted this fact in his heart, it was the first time he heard him admit it to others so simply and naturally, Wanda still felt her cheeks become hot.

"Oh, that's right. I don't know. Ha, then I won't bother you. I will have a chance some other day. Um. Please have a meal together, yes, this is it, haha"

The young man went sweating profusely.It stands to reason that he has been active in social situations for a long time, and his articulation should be fairly sharp, and it should not be at the level just now.But in the short ten seconds just now, although the other party's expression was natural and his tone was still polite, he clearly felt the murderous aura from that young Mr. Passo.

Just standing face to face with the other party made him feel as if he was drained, and his shirt was soaked in cold sweat. For a moment, he even had the illusion that "if you talk nonsense for half a second, you will really be killed on the spot".

Wanda stared blankly at the side, and suddenly couldn't help but chuckled softly.

In the blink of an eye just now, of course she also felt that fleeting murderous aura.

Is he jealous of me?

It feels like a little pride.
