Her worth is priceless and she is fully aware of that. It is why she doesn't attract many and only those with quality taste and genuine hearts can afford a woman like her.

"Don't forget to feed Peeve, Tony," Eve reminded for the sixth time, but it was like she was speaking to a brick wall.

He was entirely focused on his new suit, and payed absolutely no attention to her.

"Alright, sweetie, I have to go." Pecking him on the cheek, she jumped down from the metal bench, hugging Bruce goodbye and slipping out of the room.

"Are you alright, Tony?" Banner asked, interrupting the billionaire's work much like Evelyn was doing.

"Yeah. Why wouldn't I be?" The troubled man replied, earning him an unsure look from his friend.

"Really, Banner. Don't get all mushy on me, I'm fine." He nodded, reassuring him.

"Alright. If you say so."

Madison gulped and cowered away from the judging looks her friends gave her.

Leon was nowhere to be found, and she found herself needing his comfort as selfish as it made her.

Carter had just finished dressing up for his date with Dani when he bumped into a nervous Madison.

His glare was set on her, and although he may not be as intimidating as Leon, he sure as hell did a good job at making her uncomfortable.

"I apologised to Eve, I promise." Madison blurted out, playing with her hands.

"And that's supposed to make it better?" He spat.

"Carter. Knock it off." Dani grabbed his arm, shaking her head.

She wasn't in the mood for fights right now, she wanted a peaceful evening.

"Fine." He huffed out, bumping Madi's shoulder on the way to the door.

"I'm sorry about him. Both him and Leon have always been protective of Evelyn. You know that." Dani smiled sweetly, rubbing her arm before leaving after her boyfriend.

Rubbing her face, she moved forward towards the couch before the sound of female giggles stopped her.

Spinning around, she was not so surprised to see Leon with his arm around his girlfriend, she assumed.

"Mads?" His eyebrows were up in surprise at seeing her here, there could only be one reason she was here.

And it was to apologise to Evelyn, but once he noticed a few bags in her hand, he realised that she probably already did apologise to Evelyn, taking his advice.

"Hey, Leo." She smiled, and trailed her eyes over to the shy brunette.

"Hi, I'm Madison." Madi grinned, and if Leon didn't know her like the back of his hand, he would actually think that she looked happy to see Penelope.

"Madi this is Penny." Leon smiled, introducing his girlfriend.

"It's very nice to meet you, Leon has told me a lot about you." Madison shook her hand, dropping her bags.
