A woman with beautiful burgundy hair stepped into the conference room and said, "Mr. Stark, they have requested to search the hotel where Miss Rickman is staying."

Tony smiled provocatively at the woman: "Did they not hear who I am just now?"

The woman shrugged her shoulders, looking as if she was about to accept the head: "I heard you clearly. But the person in charge is not here, and the policeman in charge of this case is a bit...stubborn."

Tony sighed lightly: "Is there a way to make them trouble?"

The woman nodded: "As far as I know, they haven't obtained a search warrant yet. It stands to reason that the hotel room where Ms. Rickman stayed belongs to her private space until she checks out."

"Nice job."

The woman hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But... If things get stuck, if the other party goes down forcibly, I'm afraid I can get a search warrant. I have to ask Miss Rickman in advance if she has put those in the room. Contraband."

Tony looked at Joanna.Joanna was still staring blankly at the woman who suddenly appeared.

The other party reacted quickly, and stretched out his right hand to Joanna: "Hello, Ms. Rickman, I am Mr. Stark's secretary, Natasha Romanov."

Joanna recovered and held Natasha's hand: "Hello."

Natasha smiled at Joanna, neither arrogant nor obsequious: "Miss Rickman, are there any contraband in your room?"

"I'm not so sure..."

Natasha raised her eyebrows, her expression was a little surprised and playful.Joanna only felt dizzy, and she didn't want to fight this capable woman at this time. She didn't explain any more, she lowered her head halfway, and put her hands on the edge of the thin blanket on her shoulders.

Seeing this, Tony winked at Natasha.Natasha nodded, gently closed the door, and backed out.

"That's my new secretary." Tony said to Joanna, who was still hanging her head.

Joanna raised her head: "You fired Pep?"

"What are you talking about! I promoted her." Tony glanced at Joanna in disgust, "I have to change my taste occasionally, don't I?"

This time it was Joanna's turn to show a disgusted expression.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Joanna bit her lower lip and said for a while: "Tell me first, how did you come here?"

Tony lifted his chin and looked down at Joanna: "Didn't you ask that World War II hero for help?"

"He has contact with you?!" Joanna's tone changed in surprise.

Tony rubbed his ears, not hiding his dislike for Joanna at all: "Your mind is so simple? You have asked Captain America for help. Does your boss know that something happened to you?"

Joanna thought of this, but with her troubled brain at the moment, it was difficult to connect all this with Tony Stark in front of her in a short period of time.

"Your boss knows that there is trouble, but it is inconvenient to negotiate directly with the local police here, so he left the trouble to me." Tony looked at Joanna's disheveled face, and finally couldn't help explaining to her. confused.

However, Joanna's focus has successfully gone to a place Tony didn't expect: "Wait, are you a helpful person?"

Her skeptical expression matched her ugly face at the moment, it was so ugly that people couldn't bear to look directly at it.Tony rolled his eyes and ignored her.

There was another knock on the door of the meeting room.Tony raised his head and responded loudly, "Please come in."

However, it was not the Natasha that Tony expected, but a Boston policeman with an unfriendly expression.

Tony's smiling face just now collapsed in an instant: "Didn't you tell me? If you have any questions, ask my secretary Romanov, and I will discuss it with my lawyer team first."

The policeman's expression was not very good, but he didn't respond to Tony directly, but said to Joanna in a blunt tone: "Rickman, there is a man who came to you and claimed to be your friend."

Joanna was stunned.

Who came, Joanna could remember without being reminded.However, now is obviously not a good time.Tony Stark is still here.If Joanna remembered correctly, Steve and Tony's father already knew each other, and it was not impossible for him to recognize Tony on the spot.No, it should be said that it is simply impossible for Tony to change his coquettish style and pretend to be someone who is not Tony Stark!

What would Steve think?

Will he realize that her identity is not pure?

Joanna froze in place, not knowing how to react.

The policeman coughed impatiently: "What's going on? Is it your friend?"

Joanna was still a little dumbfounded, but Tony on the side asked, "Why did you bring the letter? The other party didn't give you your name?"

The policeman pouted: "Steve Rogers, do you know him?"

Joanna raised her hand and rubbed her swollen temples: "I know. It's my friend who is right."

The policeman snorted softly, turned and left the meeting room.

The door of the meeting room was not closed tightly, and voices from outside could be heard indistinctly.In the very noisy police station, Steve's gentle voice was still clear, but it was even more pleasant when it was set off by the noisy background sound.

Joanna felt that she should come up with a solution right now, but her brain didn't give her such ability.After realizing that her state was too bad, Joanna sighed and slowly fell on the table.

This is what Steve saw when he entered the door: a woman in a thin blanket was lying tiredly on the conference table, and a well-dressed man was sitting beside him.The man looked at the top of the woman's head with disgust.

If Steve hadn't seen the man in a magazine and knew the identity of the man, he would have believed that he had broken into someone else's interrogation venue.

Tony heard the sound, raised his head, and stared at Steve's face with a scrutinizing look.His eyebrows and eyes are seven or eight points similar to Howard Stark.With him staring at him like this, Steve has a trance feeling like going back in time.

But soon, his attention turned to Joanna.

For a brief moment while Steve was reminiscing about the past, Joanna mustered up the courage to look up.Just in time to bump into the gaze cast by Steve who returned to God.She didn't speak, and didn't show any expression, just stared at Steve blankly.Because, at this moment, her proud mind is unable to think of any excuses or excuses.She could only stare blankly at Steve.

Joanna's complexion was already ugly, but the sluggish appearance at the moment made Steve's heart ache.

"Joanna?" Steve tentatively put his hand on Joanna's shoulder, "Are you okay?"

Tony on the side stared at Steve's hand, raised his eyebrows, but didn't make a sound.

Joanna blinked, then slowly nodded to Steve: "Sorry, I don't know who to turn to..."

"It's okay. What the hell happened?" Steve couldn't help but glance at Tony after saying this.

Tony Stark, who has never been afraid of any emergencies, jumped off his desk and said to Joanna: "Miss Rickman, you have to understand that I'm not helping you. Since your company has a relationship with Stark Industries Cooperation, and you, as the contact person, absolutely cannot cause negative news at this time. Do you understand?"

Joanna turned her head to look at Tony with a blank expression, as if she didn't understand what Tony was saying at all.I don't know if it's because people I know appear one by one, but Joanna's spirit is a little relaxed at the moment, and her mind starts to become dizzy again, making it difficult to think.

Tony knew at a glance that Joanna was still on the drug.It's useless to say anything to her now, maybe she will slip up again when she opens her mouth.Ever since, Tony sighed artificially, and waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, okay, let someone take you to the hospital first! How does the Boston Police Department do things? I didn't see that you would Can't you make a record?"

Hospital?

When Joanna heard this word, she barely regained her energy, and she looked into Tony's eyes with a little light.

Tony sighed, turned around and opened the door of the conference room and called out, "Natasha!"

After a while, Natasha stepped on her high heels and appeared in the conference room neatly: "Do you have any orders? Mr. Stark."

Although Natasha was talking to Tony, when she finished speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Steve who was aside.

"Find a way to get Joanna into the hospital first, she needs a thorough examination."

"Okay, Mr. Stark, I'll arrange it right away." After Natasha said this, she glanced at Steve again, and then sent Tony a puzzled look.

Tony looked disgusted and walked out of the meeting room first.Natasha didn't dare to stay longer, and hurriedly followed.

"It came out of nowhere." Tony lied indifferently, "Probably Rickman's boyfriend."

Natasha showed a clear expression, said nothing more, and turned around skillfully and walked to the chief's office of the police station to complete the task assigned by Tony to her "secretary".

The meeting room without other people suddenly became quiet.Seeing that Joanna was not in the right state, Steve pulled up a chair and sat down in front of her.

Although the temperature was not low, Steve noticed that Joanna was shaking all the time, and subconsciously raised his hand to hold Joanna's clasped hands: "Joanna, are you okay?"

Joanna nodded reflexively, and after looking at Steve for a while, she pouted and shook her head again.

Steve softened his tone: "What happened? Can you tell me?"

"I don't know..." Joanna whispered with a little cry, "I was drinking coffee at the Bunker Hill Monument. The next second, as soon as I woke up... there was a hotel. All valuables Gone... I don't know... I don't know why I'm here, "
