[HP Comprehensive UK and US] Platinum Stark

After the atmosphere eased, the two men quickly started chatting. When Alicia just came to her senses, they seemed to have reached some kind of consensus.

"It's been a pleasure working with you, Mr. Malfoy."

"Pleasant to work with."

The two people had an odd tacit understanding, and neither of them extended their hand to shake hands.

In the Muggle world, Lucius, who had always said that he didn't like shaking hands, was choked for a moment by Tony's action.

Knowing how selfish Tony was and how arrogant her father was, Alicia just felt tired. She took the initiative to take off her suit and planned to return it to her friend so that the atmosphere, which had finally improved, would not fall to the bottom again.

"Ms. Malfoy, just leave it to me. Mr. Stark doesn't like to take things from others. I'm very sorry." The woman who had just arrived at the terrace quickly came to the girl, with visible apology on her face.

She is Howard's capable employee and Tony's current secretary - Pepper Potts.

She had just learned about the new boss's quirks. Just that afternoon, she witnessed the new boss refusing to accept a document, leaving the company's veterans in a state of anger and fear.

In the end, she took the document on her own initiative and was ordered by her boss to put it on the desk, and the matter was barely over.

There are not many major shareholders in the company, and the Marquis is one of them. If his daughter is offended at this critical juncture, who knows if it will have an impact on the situation.

Knowing well how picky people in British upper society are, Pepper broke out in a cold sweat and tried to handle everything in front of her boss's cold face.

Before Alicia could get upset, Tony quickly took the suit from the girl: "It's okay, it's my honor."

He ignored the secretary's slightly surprised look and Lucius's satisfied look, and carefully observed the changes in the girl's facial expressions.

Alicia raised her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes. She looked directly into Tony's eyes and said word by word, "That's natural."

It’s over.

This little ancestor is angry.

If I coax Lucius Malfoy's daughter in front of him, he will definitely curse me with magic, right?

But if I don’t coax her now, I don’t know when this hot-tempered little girl will calm down.

Secretary Pepper naturally had this insight. She took the initiative to speak and said sincerely: "I'm sorry, Miss Malfoy, I was rude. I didn't know you were Mr. Stark's guest. Please allow me to apologize to you again. I am Mr. Stark's secretary, Pepper Potts."

"Monsieur the Marquis."

After introducing herself, she looked at the man who appeared in the meeting room in the afternoon and bowed slightly to show respect.

Alicia's anger subsided a little. She looked at Pepper with amusement in her eyes for a while, then looked at Tony and said in an ambiguous tone: "You have a good assistant with outstanding abilities."

If it weren't for this Potts's willingness to assist Tony, she would have wanted to suggest to her father that he should manage the family's businesses in the Muggle world.

"I'm even luckier to have a tolerant and kind lady as my friend." Tony thought desperately with his extremely smart brain, and then said along the stairs with a strong desire to survive.

The girl's smile widened then, she raised her chin and gave Tony a look that only the two of them could understand.

Guess you know the truth.

Lucius on the side seemed to have noticed something. He looked at the suit in the man opposite him and said, "Xia, we should go out now. We won't disturb Mr. Stark's interest in enjoying the night view."

"Come on, Mr. Malfoy." Tony, with his collar untidy and his suit off, proposed his idea.

The three people present were silent for a moment at the same time.

Lucius seemed to be choked again. He used all his self-control to maintain his dignity and replied with a smile: "Then let's go together."

There are no disadvantages in appearing with Stark, especially in putting some pressure on Stani - that Muggle is really reluctant to give in on the issue of shares.

Alicia was the one who accepted it the fastest. As far as she knew, not wearing casual sportswear to attend such a dinner was the greatest respect for Tony Stark.

By the way, it was Tony's mother Maria who told her this.

As the four people showed up, the discussion in the crowd couldn't help but get louder.

After all, a lot can be analyzed from the news that the Marquis is suspected of supporting Stark Jr.

Stanny's eyes also darkened a little. He quickly adjusted his expression, as if he had never talked to Lucius before, and took the initiative to greet him: "Tony, Mr. Malfoy."

After they greeted each other, he smiled and patted Tony on the shoulder, looking as kind as if he was caring for the younger generation in his family: "Tony, Mr. Malfoy is one of the best in business. You should learn more from him."

Lucius glanced at him with a half-smile and said nothing.

This was a veiled inquiry into his relationship with Stark, and also a subtle hint that he was a "businessman" through and through.

Tony thought that Stani was giving sincere advice. After all, the latter had been friends with his father for more than a year or two. He smiled and patted Stani on the shoulder.

Seeing this scene, Alicia didn't show it on her face, but she felt inexplicably annoyed in her heart.

You see, in this seemingly harmonious banquet, everyone has his or her own thoughts.

She didn’t think anything of it before, but when the target of the plot was her friend, the girl felt particularly unhappy.

I have to find a suitable way to remind Tony.

Lucius: I don't need to tell you that I don't like shaking hands, but why do I dislike this guy so much? Hearing him coax Thea with his smooth talk, I really want to kill him.

Tony: Thea, don't be angry, my quirk is not directed at you! ! Believe me! ! (blinking big eyes sincerely)

An unknown shareholder: I really want to throw all these documents in your face! (Roaring)
