Rocky once knew at first glance that Erica was a person with a desperate desire for power, but fortunately she had not degenerated enough to sell her bottom line, which was one of the reasons why he valued her. And after giving the right, her change was also expected by him, after all, it only took a few days to obtain the once unimaginable right, and the expansion of her heart can be imagined. Because she has never had any foreshadowing process, she naturally can't sink down her already floating heart. If it weren't for the fact that she came over on a whim to see her situation this time, she didn't know that she had fallen into the dead without knowing it, and she reminded her because she didn't want the Brotherhood to dominate.

"I know you're not convinced, thinking I'm just alarmist, or that you're in the driver's seat. But I want to tell you, don't underestimate any opponent, and don't easily accept the benefits that come to your door. Now that you are surrounded by people harboring evil intentions, if they all fight together, you will not need the Brotherhood to do anything, and then the inheritance you have won so hard will be destroyed! Rocky solemnly reminded and warned at this moment that he didn't want the person he had helped up to fall. Although he also said before that if Erica gets out of control, he can also help one more, but if there is another person, will he be more obedient like Erica now? Although there are some signs that this chess piece is getting out of control, it is not yet to the point of abolition.

Erica listened to Rocky's warnings, nodding her head from time to time, but responding in silence throughout. Whether she wants it or not, the role she plays at this moment is that of a pawn reprimanded by Rocky, and whether she wants to admit it or not, she must carry out her responsibilities as a pawn.

Seeing Erica like this, Rocky couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for his lack of feelings for her, he would have wanted to control her in a special relationship, after all, this would not be much stronger than the previous and current relationship. It's a pity that some things are really reluctant to come.

"Okay, I've already said this, it's still the same old saying, if you don't have the ability yourself, don't blame me for raising another one to replace you when the time comes." Rocky sighed, waved his hand, and left the bar in good spirits.

Erica looked at Rocky's departing back, her face suddenly became ugly, she knew Rocky's character and ability, and she must know that he would do what he said. So she was scared and angry in her heart, but she was helpless, after all, her identity was just a pawn. Moreover, she did not dare to put her anger on Rocky, and that anger was all on the Brotherhood. She felt that from today onwards, she would begin to integrate her forces, weed out those with bad intentions, and temporarily abandon the suppression of the Brotherhood.

Erica is undoubtedly a very smart woman, and when she calms down, she can say that she can quickly find an answer to any question, even if the problem in front of her is imminent. But such a person. It's very easy to swell, so someone has to remind her not to be overly proud, otherwise she will inevitably be the only one who will suffer, and now there is no doubt that Rocky plays such a role. But this character is not very likable, and over time, there will inevitably be a grudge between him and Erica. Not only will the intimate relationship cease to exist, but it may even turn against each other. After all, interest is a thing that can easily make feelings fragile.

Leaving Erica aside for a moment, and regardless of how well she has resisted the Brotherhood's machinations, he needs to settle his own business. Carry out your plan because Pepper has already called and invited him to a private dining room. And this private dining room is not one of those Western restaurants in the traditional sense, it only accepts regular customers, and strangers who want to dine must have the recommendation of acquaintances.

In such a place, the environment is naturally not as good as those large western restaurants that are extremely luxurious, but it is better because the environment is elegant, and the decoration is very exquisite, and it is not easy to be disturbed. It is the perfect destination for couples to meet and dine.

At first, Rocky was still wondering why Pepper chose to be here, and even wondered evil in his heart if the other party wanted to have something to do with him. But on second thought, this was absolutely impossible for Pepper. Everyone knows who she likes, and if not, why take care of the industry for that person? Would becoming a strong woman be her truest idea? No, any woman actually has a great desire to be a little woman who is cared for by others, not even Pepper. But it's a pity that she met Tony Stark, an unscrupulous guy who loves invention and pleasure, so her inner desire was disappointed, and she resolutely changed her principles for the people she loved, and became an industrial director from a small woman.

Before Pepper arrived, Rocky thought about Pepper. When Pepper arrived, he welcomed her into the dining room.

Sitting down and ordering, Pepper even said the names of a few dishes that Rocky had never eaten, and then said with a slight excitement: "Liszt, you have a good taste today, the food here can be said to be the best in the whole United States, and even the president may not be able to eat it!" ”

Rocky couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this, to be so praised by Pepper, then this restaurant must indeed have something extraordinary, he raised a lot of expectations, "Hearing you say that, I can't wait to try it, judging from the layout here, it seems that the dishes will not disappoint?" But then again, how could Miss Pepper know such a place? I see ...... here."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Pepper have a meaningful smile on his face, "Liszt, I don't need to know here!" After all......"

It was also a point to stop, but Rocky had already understood what Pepper meant, and his face suddenly became surprised, "Could it be that this restaurant is ......?"

"That's right, this restaurant is indeed my own, and it only caters to people who work with and are close to us Stark Industries. There are only three people visiting this restaurant today, and you are one of those three. Pepper looked at the surprise on Rocky's face, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment in her heart. This was something she had never had before.

"That's really my pleasure! But then again, Miss Pepper is really kind! At least pay a decent salary to these employees in the restaurant every year, right? "Raising a restaurant like this, I don't know how good the chef is, but being able to win the heart of the discerning Pepper shows that the chef's skills must not be simple, and one million a year seems to be unusual.

Pepper nodded, "Indeed, after all, this restaurant needs normal expenses every year, so I will pay these people a good salary." But I think it's worth it, after all, it's hard to find a chef like that. ”

Simple and relaxed conversation, occasional little humor, Pepper's chuckle never stopped, she felt very happy with Rocky, and even secretly hoped that such a time would pass slowly, she didn't feel that this was a betrayal of Tony, after all, it was normal to have a meal and chat. Even Tony had no reason to interfere.

Soon, the dishes came up, not like traditional Western food, but with a bit of Chinese food. Rocky took a sip, his eyes lit up, this dish really deserved Pepper's praise, "Miss Potts, I have to say, the taste here is indeed perfect, presumably this chef is at least above five stars." ”

Pepper couldn't help but look smug when she heard this, "Of course, I finally found this chef." ”

"If you have the chance, I'd like to see each other." Rocky nodded, casually saying this kind word.

Pepper knew the meaning of Rocky's words, so he chuckled and didn't promise anything, and the two of them were five or six minutes full for a meal, but their taste buds were greatly satisfied. At this time, Rocky suddenly proposed: "If we don't have enough to eat, why don't we change places?" I know that the taste and portion of your home meal is good, and you won't be disappointed. ”

Pepper hesitated for a moment, then nodded, in fact, she had gone through some mental struggles just now, after all, she should have been in Tony at this time, but now she was next to a man who had only known him for a few days. This couldn't help but make her feel a little guilty about Tony, but when she thought about it, she felt that she was just having dinner with Rocky, so why should she feel guilty? If you refuse, wouldn't it seem that you are a bit of a thief? So she agreed.

Seeing Pepper agree, Rocky naturally saw his reaction just now, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but skim out a playful arc, he knew that this time the beginning was undoubtedly a good one, digging the foot of the wall is a lot of work, it can't be done overnight, especially a woman like Pepper. It is no exaggeration to say that Pepper is undoubtedly more important to Stark than Tony, and without Tony, Stark Industries can still operate normally under Pepper's operation. And without Pepper, Tony would have to go blind. At that time, it is inevitable that Stark Industries will go downhill, which is also Rocky's fundamental purpose, to give Tony a salary.

Pepper didn't know Rocky's sinister thoughts, but there was no doubt that she had a good sense of Rocky now, and although she hadn't reached the point of being a good friend, she could at least earn a good man. (To be continued.) )
