Eleanor's office in Stark Tower was functional and efficient, yet noticeably smaller Peppers expansive space. The room was rectangular and had a single window that looked out onto the cityscape. The walls were painted a neutral beige color, and the only decorations were a few framed motivational posters that had been hung up by a previous occupant.

The desk in the center of the room was modest, made of light-colored wood and topped with a laptop and a phone. The desk was cluttered with stacks of paper, file folders, and a few scattered pens and highlighters. There was a small lamp on the desk, which provided ample light for working.

On one side of the room, there was a metal filing cabinet with several drawers, each one labeled with a specific category of paperwork. Next to the filing cabinet was a plain office chair, which could be adjusted for height and swiveled around to reach different parts of the desk.

Opposite the desk, there was a bookshelf that held several reference books, binders, and a few personal items like a plant and a family photo. The assistant's coat and bag hung on a hook near the door.

Overall, while the assistant's office lacked the grandeur of Miss Pott's space, it was functional and had all the necessary tools and resources for the assistant to carry out her work efficiently.

As soon as you know it, 1:30 pm rolled around and El was stressing out. She headed odw, giving herself a pep-talk in her head on the way to try and calm her rising nerves.

As Eleanor stood nervously in the Avengers Tower lobby, waiting for her new bosses to arrive. She had only been working for Pepper Potts for 5 hours at this point and had yet to grow accustomed to the fast-paced, high-stakes work environment of Stark Industries. But the thought of meeting the Avengers, the superheroes that her bosses had assembled to save the world, filled her with a mixture of excitement and trepidation.

As she waited, Eleanor couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by the towering height of the building and the impressive technology that surrounded her. She was not used to being around this amount of... well, richness before and it was starting to show. She then began to overthink about being here and taking this job, but just as she began to doubt herself, the elevator doors opened, and out stepped Tony Stark, aka Iron Man, followed by Pepper Potts.

They seemed to be in a heated argument of sorts and didn't even notice me standing there.

"Tony, you can't just spend millions of dollars on a new suit without consulting me first," Pepper Potts scolded, her hands on her hips.

"I don't need your approval, Pepper. I'm the one who funds this whole operation, remember?" Tony Stark retorted, crossing his arms.

"That doesn't mean you get to make unilateral decisions that affect the entire company. We need to be strategic and plan for the future," Pepper replied, her tone firm.

"I am always thinking about the future, Pepper. That's why I need this new suit. It's more advanced, more efficient, and will ultimately save us money in the long run," Tony argued, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice.

Pepper sighed, realizing that arguing with Tony was often a futile effort. "Fine, but at least let me review the specs and make sure it aligns with our goals."

"Deal," Tony replied, a small smirk on his face as he turned to leave the room. "But don't take too long. I want to test it out ASAP."

I cleared my throat for the third time and they finally noticed me. I couldn't believe my eyes, Tony Stark was standing in front of me! And actually noticing me!!!

The new assistant nervously approached Tony Stark, her heart racing as she was introduced to the famous inventor and CEO of Stark Industries. She couldn't help but feel drawn to him, even though they had never met before.

As Tony shook her hand, he felt a jolt of electricity run through his body. He looked into her eyes and felt like he had known her forever, even though they had just met. He couldn't explain the feeling, but he knew that there was something special about her.

As they began to work together, Tony and the new assistant found themselves constantly drawn to each other, even though they tried to keep things professional. They found excuses to be near each other, making small talk and sharing laughs whenever they could.

Despite their strong connection, they both remained unaware of the depth of their feelings, chalking it up to simply enjoying each other's company. Little did they know, they were secretly soulmates, and it was only a matter of time before their true feelings would be revealed.
