[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

Five hours was not a short time, at least not for the anxious Alicia, who paced back and forth, replaying the conversation with Tony hundreds of times in her mind.

How should I start my opening remarks?

"Long time no see, Tony. Congratulations on becoming the new chairman of Stark Industries."

No, no, these words are like stabbing him in the heart.

that……

"Tony, are you okay?"

This sentence is also eliminated. Tony now will definitely not like being asked this question.

The girl sighed heavily, turned around and threw herself on the sofa, rubbing her temples which ached from thinking too much.

It was at this time that her father came back.

Looking at his daughter who was sitting awkwardly on the sofa, Lucius' expression remained unchanged. He asked calmly, "Are you tired of waiting? Pack up, we'll leave right away."

Alicia sat up straight the moment she heard her father's voice, and only relaxed when she saw that Lucius had no intention of criticizing her.

She chose a fluffy dark blue dress, which was embellished with silver diamond embroidery, making it look dazzling and gorgeous.

The girl's long platinum blonde hair was soft and smooth. In just two moves, the man changed it into a new hairstyle with a braid on the left side and the hair mostly loose.

Alicia seemed to be shining, dazzling and noble.

Lucius' eyes were filled with pride, this was his daughter, a Malfoy who was always well behaved and elegant and could handle any situation with ease.

Not long after, a Cadillac Bromham stopped at the door of a high-end club. There were no more than fifty people in the world who owned this car, and Lucius Malfoy happened to be one of them.

With the appearance of the father and daughter, the atmosphere of the whole banquet began to climb to the peak.

"Is this the British marquis who rarely appears in public but has a lot of assets? Is the one next to him his daughter?"

"It seems to be true. You can tell by looking at the demeanor and manners of the father and daughter."

"Hey, Miss Malfoy is really pretty. I wonder which family she will marry into in the end. What if they are one of our rich American young men?"

Various discussions were heard in the crowd. With a smile on his face, Stani walked through them without looking around and came straight to the two Malfoys.

He is Howard Stark's friend and the one who took the initiative to organize meetings and dinners. On the surface, he is trying to share the pressure for his nephews and nephews, but who knows what he is thinking?

Lucius raised the corner of his mouth symbolically, and perfectly grasped the aristocratic temperament that was not easy to approach: "Hello again, Mr. Stani. This is my daughter, Alicia Malfoy."

The girl who was called did not show any stage fright at all, and put on a perfect standard smile: "Good evening, Mr. Stanny."

Obadiah Stane responded to the girl's greeting cordially, and then introduced the main procedures of the dinner to Lucius.

He also said that the security here was perfect and nothing would happen to Miss Malfoy alone.

It was obvious that he had something to say to Lucius alone, and it was probably not something that could be discussed openly.

The girl's eyes grew colder - she was the only one who was avoided by others, so what right did this Muggle have to suggest that she leave her father?

Alicia's smile faded a little. The sensible girl did not make any sarcastic remarks on the spot. Instead, she said goodbye to her father obediently: "Dad, I'm going to take a walk. Mr. Stani, I hope you have a good chat."

The nasty Muggle would be best taught a lesson by Dad in business.

Lucius patted his daughter's shoulder soothingly and coaxed her, "Okay, come find me when you're bored, it's okay."

This Stanny is really impatient. He is busy swallowing up the family property just after his "old friend" passed away...

Alicia didn't know what they were going to discuss specifically. She smiled again after hearing her father's words. She didn't even look at Stani, turned around and left.

She was still busy looking for Tony.

The girl took a quick look around, and while dealing with the sixteen or seventeen-year-old heirs from various companies who came to her, she was distractedly looking for Tony.

Well, it looks like he's not here.

That's right, if Tony had stepped in, Stanislav wouldn't have been jumping around.

Alicia thought carefully about what Tony had written in his letter about attending banquets in the past, and walked toward the terrace.

He would definitely not be absent from such an important dinner or slip away halfway, and the only place he would go would be the terrace.

The girl gently pulled open the curtain, and sure enough, a man in a suit was standing there motionless, holding a glass of wine, with his elbows resting on the railing.

Hearing the sound of someone coming, he drove them away without even turning his head: "Can't you see there's someone here? Get out."

The girl curled her lips. It seemed that her Muggle friend usually had a bad temper, but he became much more restrained when he was with her.

Alicia didn't care about what the man said, but walked step by step to his side.

Tony heard the footsteps of someone getting closer and closer, and he couldn't help but feel a little irritated - he thought it was a woman throwing herself at him or a businessman who came to test him: "Don't you understand what I'm saying? I told you to get out..."

The girl's shoulders were already leaning on the railing. She tilted her head and called softly, "Tony."

"Alicia?" The man was stunned and looked extremely surprised.

"Yeah, it's genuine."

Tony straightened up, the impatience between his brows completely disappeared, he turned around and faced the girl: "Those words are not meant for you."

"Of course I know." The girl smiled, not minding at all those words that would definitely make her face change immediately if heard from others. "I came here with my father, you know him, Lucius Malfoy. Maybe because he misunderstood what I meant, he is probably trying to cooperate with the people on the board of directors. But don't worry, I will never let you suffer any loss."

The man didn't seem to think this was such a serious matter. He looked at the girl's dress carefully, and then habitually raised his glass to indicate, "We really have a tacit understanding. Your dress and my tie are both dark blue."

It seems like he really doesn't want to talk about company matters right now.

Alicia understood her friend's thoughts and rolled her eyes at his frivolous look. She put away her slightly serious expression and said, "Really? But I don't seem to have ever known Mr. Anthony Stark."

She hasn't settled accounts with this man yet. If Tony is a fake name, she will definitely curse him on the spot and let him know the power of magic.

"Hey Thea, don't be angry. My name is Anthony, but everyone around me calls me Tony. My name contains Tony. You know, last time my mom and I..."

The man stopped talking abruptly. After a few seconds, he continued as if he didn't care: "My father and I, we are in...a restaurant..."

His expression was clearly unnatural.

Alicia held her friend's slightly trembling right hand, then gently put her arms around him and gave the man a very warm hug.

Tony's body was a little stiff. After a long silence, he gradually relaxed, put the wine glass on the round table beside him, and hugged the little girl who only reached his chest.

"Thank you, Thea. I mean, everything."
