"So..." The man across the desk looked a little nervous, "Are you really here to apply?"
Joanna nodded dumbfoundingly.This person who is likely to be her future boss looks more like a poor little candidate than her at the moment.
"But...I mean...uh..." The man moved his butt uncomfortably, leaned forward, and said to Joanna seriously, "Our company's You have also seen the situation. Of course, I am very confident that the company will become as big as "Century Weekly"...Uh, sorry, I mean a first-line media company like "Daily Planet."
Joanna pursed her lips and shrugged her shoulders: "Want to hear my opinion?"
On the other side of the desk, the man swallowed a mouthful of saliva and nodded involuntarily: "Speak."
"Planet Daily, don't think about it. If you report the truth, you can still struggle. After all, their family has no real strength, and they all rely on blind reports."
The man nodded, deeply convinced: "I think so too."
Joanna showed a polite smile: "So, do I need to go back and wait for the news?"
"what?"
"You know, work."
"Oh! This!" The man stood up in a panic, and stretched out his right hand to Joanna, "Our company is very honored to have such outstanding talents as Miss Rickman."
Joanna held the other party's hand politely, and then pulled the other party towards her with a little force.Before the other party recovered from the shock caused by her sudden exertion, Joanna lowered her voice and asked, "Let me tell you the truth, there won't be any strange people or forces threatening you." Hire me?"
"What... what?"
"For example, the underworld | Society or something like that?"
The other party showed a terrified expression.
"Just kidding." Joanna smiled at the other party, "I will work hard,"
"Then... that would be great."
The newspaper that Joanna applied for was a little-known small newspaper. There were only five people in the whole company including the boss.There are still five laymen who are not well-known in the media industry.
The newspaper office was on the fringe of Gotham City's ghetto, more run-down than any places Joanna had lived in Queens or Brooklyn.Walk another kilometer to the west and pass through three blocks, which is one of the most crime-prone areas in Gotham City.Joanna would not want to work in such a place if possible.
The safety of life and property is second to none. On the contrary, the inconvenient transportation in this place and the harsh working environment are even more frustrating.
Looking back, whether it's SHIELD or the Avengers Building.Which working environment is not a place where the windows are bright and clean, and the takeaway can arrive within half an hour.Occasionally go to work to catch fish, go to the window with the best scenery to take a picture of the scenery outside the window, and post on social accounts, that is the most deadly invisible pretense.
Joanna left the dilapidated office and went down the old stairs.
Right now, considering her notoriety in the media and politics, it is a miracle that a newspaper wants her.Not to mention a newspaper office, just relying on her tainted milk attribute of "destroying a unit in one shift", anyone would give her a job, it would be a selfless dedication.How can she have the qualifications to choose a working environment.
Joanna stood on the other side of the street, watching the hurried Gotham citizens with their collars turned up and their heads bowed against the cold wind and drizzle, she suddenly wanted to laugh.He had demoted Gotham City to nothing in front of Harley back then, but now Gotham City has become the last city to take her in.From this point of view, this notorious Gotham City has a little taste of God's mercy.
Joanna took out her mobile phone from her pocket and checked the stock market for that day.
The stock price of Stark Industries fell to a lower level than when she bought it.Seeing the falling curve made Joanna feel chills in her heart.Without a good job, she is still counting on this stock to live on!
If Joanna has any expectations for the Avengers now, it is only a little expectation for Iron Man in the Avengers.She just hoped that when Tony had no world waiting for him to save, she would put in more effort to do business and raise the stock price so that the majority of shareholders, including her, could live a better life.
That's it.
There were also text messages from Natasha and Tony on the phone.But she didn't reply a single one.
In Joanna's opinion, the text messages from former colleagues and former bosses are not worth replying at all.After all, we will not cooperate again in the future, and she has given her unit to the milk, twice.Who the hell wants to have anything to do with her again!
Since there will be no more intersections, there is no need to bother to maintain the relationship.Text messages cost money!
Just like, the ex-boyfriend's greetings are not worth replying after breaking up.
Although, her ex-boyfriend never texted her at all.
Steve's number is still in the phone book.Joanna didn't delete it, it's not that she was reluctant to delete it.She just knew very well that she would never contact the other party again, and it didn't make much sense to delete it or not.
She still remembers the day when she and Steve parted, they were standing on the most beautiful glass walkway in the Avengers Building.It is a huge glass walkway that surrounds the meeting room. From the moment you get off the elevator, you can follow the entire glass walkway to enjoy a 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery of the Avengers Building.That is, Joanna's favorite place to pretend to be invisible.
But that day, Joanna and Steve came out of the conference room.Both of them were exhausted.The sun had just dipped to the horizon, casting the last rays of the day on Steve from far below.The warm orange light did not soften the stern-faced Steve one iota.
Joanna suddenly realized at that time that she couldn't change Steve's decision, and she couldn't help Steve in any way.Steve was a fighter, a soldier, was, is, and always will be.As a soldier, you have to say goodbye to your family constantly.He has a lonely heart, and he can't let go of the impulse to move forward bravely.Joanna, on the other hand, would never be Peggy Carter.She couldn't support Steve in protecting a group of people who would end up hurting him.
So, in that glass walkway, Joanna disarmed and surrendered.
"Steve." Joanna called to him.
Steve turned his head, and the afterglow of the setting sun reflected an orange light on his blond hair: "What's wrong?"
"I can not do it."
Steve frowned, his confused expression making him look more animated than when he dismissed her proposal at Minute.
"I'm not a soldier, so I can't obey orders."
Steve took a small step forward a little anxiously, but then stopped immediately, with his hands clenched into fists and placed stiffly by his side.He turned his head to look out the window, just in time to see the dazzling setting sun.Steve lowered his eyes: "Joanna, you don't have to force yourself, if the PR department..."
"I didn't force myself. I also intend...to find a suitable time to formally resign from everyone. It's not because I want to get cold feet." Joanna smiled mockingly, but even she herself couldn't tell the truth Who is the sarcasm aimed at, "It's because I really can't do things for a boss who doesn't agree with my ideas."
Steve lowered his head, was silent for a while, and finally said in a relieved tone, "That's fine. Changing jobs is also for you..."
"kiss Me."
"what?"
The sun on the horizon has gone more than half, and it is still falling at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Kiss me. Now." Joanna looked serious, looking more serious than she ever spoke to the public.
Steve instinctively felt that he should refuse the kiss. He felt that Joanna would bring him news that he didn't want to hear after the kiss.But he didn't know how to say no.He had never tried to refuse Joanna's request for a kiss. After all, Joanna had never asked him for a kiss so bluntly before.
The two stood like this on the glass walkway of the Avengers Building.Underneath is Tony's mecha maintenance room. Through the glass, you can see those mechanical arms are assembling and repairing the mecha non-stop.Outside the window is the bustling New York City.On the distant horizon, the red sun of the day is slowly falling, as if a person who has been tired all day is preparing to close his eyes and go to sleep.In the sky above the setting sun, scattered stars began to show their faces.
They just stood there in silence, no one spoke.
After a while, the setting sun fell completely below the horizon, and the lights of New York City began to gradually come on, first in low buildings, then in the lower floors of high-rise buildings.In this moment where light and dark meet, everything becomes blurred.
In this blur, Joanna moved suddenly.She took a firm step towards Steve.Everything in the world seemed to disappear silently at this moment, and Steve only saw Joanna walking straight towards him with a sad expression.
She stopped within half an arm's length of Steve.
As a colleague, this distance is a bit too close, but as a couple, this distance seems too far.
Joanna looked straight ahead, she could see Steve's jaw, and she could even feel Steve's breathing a little faster than usual.To her surprise, her mood was unprecedentedly calm.
Steve didn't know what Joanna was going to do. He stared at Joanna for a long time, and when he was about to speak to break the silence, he saw Joanna quickly raised her hand and grabbed his collar.Her movements were so fast that it seemed she didn't hesitate at all.
Immediately afterwards, Steve felt the other party tug on his collar.The strength is not small, but it is not so big that it can really pull itself.Even so, when Steve thought that the other party was Joanna, although he didn't know what she was doing, he subconsciously relaxed his strength and leaned down with her movements.
Joanna raised her head and kissed Steve's lips.
A short kiss.
Joanna let go of her hand, and she murmured at a distance so close that neither of them could see the other's face, "In this way, we all know what we have lost."
The floor where the glass walkway was located was lit.
Steve stood there alone.
Joanna still smelled of Steve on her lips when she left the floor.
Who said no!
That's Steve Rogers.
In fact, up to this moment, Joanna still felt the smell of Steve on her lips when the Gotham wind was blowing people's hearts full of despair.
She couldn't help but licked her lips, then turned up her collar and walked into the streets of Gotham.
Joanna nodded dumbfoundingly.This person who is likely to be her future boss looks more like a poor little candidate than her at the moment.
"But...I mean...uh..." The man moved his butt uncomfortably, leaned forward, and said to Joanna seriously, "Our company's You have also seen the situation.
