the next day.
Office of Stark Industries CEO.
……
"Alice Milia?"
Pepper, who was sitting behind the desk, raised his head and looked at Tony who was slumped on the sofa with some doubts.
Tony looked more puzzled than she: "Why, don't you know her?"
"Of course I know." Pepper said, "I'm just a little surprised that this name will come out of your mouth."
She knows Tony Stark too well. What he likes are always music that is warm enough and passionate enough to ignite passion. What he likes is definitely not a singer like Alice Milia.
Although Alice can also sing some songs with a faster rhythm, the number is relatively small.
"Well..." Tony dragged his tone for a while, "You know I've been having insomnia lately, right?"
"Of course, I've made appointments with several psychiatrists for you," Pepper said, frowning slightly worriedly, "If you'd like to take some more time to see a doctor instead of spending time in your lab, I'll I think that would be more beneficial to your research efficiency."
"That's why I mentioned Alice Milia, Pepper, Bruce told me her song can help me sleep, so I tried to listen to it..." Tony straightened up, his eyes sparkled, "That really works!"
Just yesterday, he tried listening to Alice's song without words.
The feeling that seemed to cleanse his soul made him almost intoxicated, his whole body seemed to be soaked in a hot spring, so comfortable that his limbs and bones stretched out, and he felt a little dizzy, as if he was just right and slightly drunk .
"Last night, I fell asleep before twelve o'clock. Guess what happened?" Tony spread his hands, "I didn't dream all night. When I woke up, I found that it was already 05:30 in the morning."
Pepper looked up from the pile of papers in surprise, his mouth parted slightly.
Afterwards, a little joy appeared on her face uncontrollably: "Really? Can you fall asleep?"
"Although my body tells me that I need more rest, and I woke up too early this morning, but-yes, at least I slept comfortably yesterday." Tony leaned on the sofa and said lazily , "The so-called psychiatrists who are keen on hypnosis should be laid off. They are not as useful as a little girl's voice."
"I know that Alice's song is very beautiful, but her singing voice has such an incredible effect?" Pepper said with some surprise.
"It sounds a bit mysterious, but..." Tony nodded lightly, "Yes."
"Maybe, maybe her voice matches your frequency, and you understand what I mean." Pepper said after thinking for a moment.
Tony was noncommittal, he held up Alice's record in his hand.
He looked at the photo of Alice printed on the album cover: "She looks so small...how old is she?"
"I don't know," Pepper said. "Maybe sixteen or seventeen?"
"Hmph..." Tony snorted softly, "It's the same age as the baby in pajamas."
He seemed to have thought of something suddenly, straightened up and said: "Since listening to her records can make me sleep for six hours, wouldn't it be better to listen to her live singing?"
"Maybe?" Pepper said, she suddenly thought of something, raised her voice and said, "Wait, Tony, I remember that the investment department submitted some drafts last month, which seemed to mention Alice Milia... "
She began to search through a pile of documents, and quickly found the draft: "Yes, this is it, her team wants to sponsor her concert next month, and they have also come to our investment department."
"Oh, that sounds good." Tony cheered up, "Is she going to have a concert?"
"True, but..." Pepper's words slowed down.
"But?" Tony raised an eyebrow.
"We declined." Pepper said, she spread her hands helplessly, "You know, there are too many proposals sent to me every day, I can't pass them all, and her team seems Enough sponsorship has been drawn."
"Okay, I'll decide." Tony said in a brisk tone, "Which agency does she work for? Buy that agency."
"Are you serious?" Pepper was taken aback for a moment, and then asked helplessly.
"It's best to finish it within a week. After I'm done, I want to meet this beautiful little girl in person." Tony looked at the photo of Alice on the record, and said with his chin in his hand, "I need her to sing me a lullaby, just for prenatal education." The kind—speaking of which, I will go find a few famous composers to write some hypnotic songs and give them to the little girl."
He's had enough of being unable to sleep with anxiety and PTSD.
"Okay." Pepper is also used to Tony's willfulness in this regard, "I will contact them, but can your insomnia be delayed? I can call her management team, which can make You'll see her sooner."
Tony's eyes lit up.
……
Manhattan.
A penthouse suite in a high-end hotel.
Alice stepped on the soft sofa with her bare feet, her little head resting on the armrest, and she gnawed on an apple while looking at the music score in her hand.
"It's boring." She threw the blank papers aside, and the manager who was standing beside her hurriedly picked up the papers that had fallen on the soft carpet, and said helplessly, "Little aunt, why are you so boring?" Already? This is written for you by a great composer!"
Alice ignored the manager at all, took another bite of the apple, chewed and chewed with puffy cheeks, and said after a while: "I don't like it, I don't sing."
The manager almost didn't collapse: "The company paid a lot of money to buy this! If you don't sing, you can only take advantage of the people below!"
"It's none of my business, don't bother me, I want to eat oranges, you go and buy them for me." Alice pouted, her face full of displeasure, and she said willfully.
The broker is numb.
He looked at Alice, who was half lying on the sofa, showing half of her snow-white shoulders, and felt that the one lying here was simply a willful little devil.
Who would have known that Alice Milia, who is lively and lovely on any occasion, beautiful and agile like a sea elf, is actually such a rebellious, casual and willful temperament in private?
What made him feel helpless the most was that this little aunt was preying on her prettiness to commit murder. Once any unhappy expression appeared on that pretty face, she could easily make anyone surrender.
Her commanding tone sounded harsh, but in fact, matched with her soft and sweet voice, it seemed like she was acting like a baby. It made people feel numb to the bottom of their hearts, and they just wanted to bow down under her pomegranate skirt and do their best.
"Okay, I'll go out and buy it for you, or the one from last time?" The manager reluctantly packed up the music score in his hand and put it on the table.
"Hmm..." Alice's slender fingers tapped her delicate and beautiful lips like flowers, and her calf shook, "Forget it, I suddenly don't want to eat it, I want to eat mangosteen, please help me buy mangosteen."
The manager turned pale with shock: "This...not to mention that we don't produce mangosteens here, and it's not the fruiting period of mangosteens right now?"
Alice looked even more unhappy. She glared at the manager, threw the apple into the trash can two meters away, and said, "Okay, then the oranges, I want the ones from California."
"Snapped."
The apple core fell precisely outside the trash can, splashing a few drops of poor apple juice on the ground.
The manager helped her pick up the apple core helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you. Do you want blackberries? The blackberries in this season are very sweet."
Alice thought for a while, then nodded reluctantly: "All right."
Before going out, the agent repeatedly warned: "Alice, I'll be back soon, don't run around while I'm away! Do you understand?! If you run around again, I won't buy you snacks!"
Then successfully harvested the pillow thrown by Alice.
"Hurry up, Alexander!" she yelled, in that sweet voice, unceremoniously.
Poor Alexander was worried that she would spoil his fragile little voice, and walked out anxiously. When he left the hotel, he was still considering whether to turn around and lock the door of Alice's room.
Oh god, see, is he here to be a manager or a nanny!
……
Half an hour later, just as he was about to walk to the fruit store, his cell phone rang suddenly.
When Alexander looked at the caller ID, it was his immediate boss, the boss of the brokerage company.
"Hello, sir?" Alexander took the phone and sorted out his messy mood.
"Is Alice with you now?" the manager of the agency said, his tone a little anxious.
"..." Alexander's heart skipped a beat suddenly.
Help!Alice won't run out again!
The last time he was almost photographed having an affair with Spider-Man, this time he just alarmed the boss? !
"She, is she in the hotel?" Alexander said cautiously as if he was dead.
"It's good to be here." The boss said, his tone was still very anxious, "There is a distinguished guest coming, please ask Alice to clean up, and come to our company quickly, the distinguished guest will arrive soon, please ask to see her by name."
... VIP?
when!when!when!
These few words were like a slap in the face, and Alexander was stunned.
"...No, sir?" He was a little anxious, but still lowered his voice and said, "Alice is only 16 years old. When we signed her, we said that we would not let her engage in power and sex in the short term...isn't that good? "
Boss: "..."
Where the hell are you thinking! !
"It's the big boss who invests in concerts!" the boss of the agency roared. "He just wants to meet our young, promising and lovely cash cow, and, listen, Alexander..."
His voice suddenly lowered: "There are also some signs from the board of directors. Maybe there will be big movements in our company. You have to perform well, otherwise your position as the number one agent in the company will be hard to say."
Alexander: ...
After hanging up the phone, he was still in a daze.
Is there going to be a big move on the board?
Why is it so sudden?
In fact, this brokerage company had undergone a big change at the top before signing Alice. A mysterious person who had never shown up took 60.00% of the shares in one go, and hand-picked all the resources Lean toward Alice.
However, after such a long time, the big boss who suddenly bought 60.00% of the company's shares has never appeared in public.
Now the board of directors is going to change again?Is there any influences?
With a heavy heart, he finished buying oranges and blackberries, returned to the hotel, and called Alice's driver by the way, asking him to wait downstairs.
He pushed open the door of Alice's presidential suite, and at a glance, he saw Alice lying on the sofa in a very unhealthy position and sleeping sprawled.
Half of the spoiled little girl's body was about to fall to the ground, her white and slender arms drooped on the edge of the sofa, her face was full of satisfaction unique to sleeping.
After hearing the movement, Alice opened her eyes in a daze, and looked at Alexander: "...Huh? Are you back? Where's my mangosteen?"
"..." Alexander's original affection for the little singer disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Still put this mangosteen!Something big is going to happen, do you know!
"Hurry up and pack up, we have a task." Alexander said seriously, "Your makeup team has arrived, we will prepare for you later, we are going to meet a big person. This is very important, Alice, he may be Future big boss."
He saw a thoughtful expression on Alice's face, and looked into her light blue eyes with trepidation, for fear that her next sentence would be "I'm not going."
Unexpectedly, Alice just got up lazily, rubbed the thick and smooth brown curly hair, and her voice was sweeter than honey:
"Okay, let them come up and make me beautiful. I don't want the big benefactor to think that I am not beautiful enough."
Alexander: ...
Did you accept it so simply?
Can you stop being picky about things like fruit, and just be so casual about the matter of the donor!
