Chapter Sixteen

"You're going to do great, love," Arny reassured and kissed your forehead.

"Thank you," you smile and sigh contently.

You had an interview for a paid internship at Stark Publishing. Despite the practice interviews you roleplayed with Arny; your stomach was in knots. Your palms are sweaty, knees weak and arms so heavy.

(A/N: Yes, tf I did. Iykyk)

"Welcome to Stark Publishing," a slender young blonde greeted at the front desk. "I'm Ashley. How can I assist you?"

"Y/N Y/L/N," you manage to say calmly. "I'm here for my 2 o'clock interview."

"Yes, I see here you're speaking with Miss Pepper Potts; I'll call her and let her know you're on your way to her," Ashley smiles as she types away at her computer before scanning a card. "This is a visitor's pass; it will grant you access to the elevator. Miss Potts is on the 12th floor. There will be another attendant to help you further."

"Thank you," you smile politely and make your way to the elevator.

The elevator is empty except for two men who seem to be discussing sports.

"Buck, I know what I'm telling you. The Yankees are gonna kick some ass," the blonde says with confidence.

"Jesus, Rodgers, would you give this argument a rest? Ask about the weather for once," the brunette chuckles.

"12th Floor, Destination Reached," the elevator's voice announced.

"Excuse me," you squeak and try to squeeze through.

"Who are you?" The blonde asks.

"I'm Y/N," you introduce yourself as you exit.

"You wanna get coffee sometime?" He holds the doors open to keep talking with you.

"I have a boyfriend but thank you for the kind gesture. Have a wonderful day," you smile and hurry to the tall glass counter with a redhead.

"You must be Y/N; Ashley just emailed me. I'm Natasha. Let me get a hold of Miss Potts right quick," the redhead smiles and grabs the phone. "Miss Potts, your 2 o'clock is here. Yes, ma'am. Of course, ma'am. Right away. She's the last door straight ahead."

"Thank you, Natasha," you say kindly before walking toward what could make or break your career.

You enter a clean office with a woman sitting at her desk. She looks up and rises.

You shake hands and you tuck her hand under your thigh with your fingers crossed.

"How did it go?"

You feign a disappointed look.

"I'll go in there and fight them! They need you! You're too great to be turned down!" Arny pouted, his ears turning pink in anger.

"I got the job, Arny!" You giggle. "Calm down, love."

"That was not funny," Arny frowned. "We will deal with that later. Right now, it is celebration time!"

Instead of heading home, Arny pulled into a fancy restaurant. Inside, Pete and Danny were at a table reviewing the menu.

"Where's Brandon?" Arny asks.

"Restroom," Danny says before turning back to Pete. "You cannot tell me that Luke didn't know!"

"It literally shows his surprise!" Pete argued. "If he knew Leia was his sister, he wouldn't have done it."
