Sometimes, just sometimes through the years, Pepper Potts wondered whether it wouldn't be an altogether good idea if her boss got neutered.
It wasn't that he was free with girls. Women. Whatever. That was completely fine (that was her story and she was sticking to it!) by her. His life. And, the girls? She could well understand his attraction for them - the man was dripping charm whatsoever he may be doing, exuding energy, and obviously enthusiastic. Not to mention dizzyingly rich and everything. (Most of them didn't register the finer points. Like his absolute brilliance, for example, or the dedication with which he could throw himself at things, or the smooth way with which he could deflect offenses without batting an eyelash, or his instinct for absolute business or creative decisions, or the sense of humor, not the way she did, or... ) She understood his lack of inhibitions where his own entertainment was concerned, too.
It was when he was supposed to be at a meeting that he'd spent weeks planning for, in Manhattan, or making a presentation of a product before the Board of Directors that he was counting on, and she knew that - and he was instead in Hong Kong with a pair of models, or in the Caribbean mansion with a Japanese petite, that she thought that maybe it would be a good idea. To neuter him.
She just hated his expression afterwards when he realized what he had missed and that something may have gone wrong because of his absence.
No, she didn't really think it would be good. Not when serious, at least, instead of irked at him, as happened sometimes. After all, it would be a good idea if, say, he had children one day, to...
Stick to 'professional', Virginia. You know you can do it.
Right.
... besides, she wasn't exactly sure it would work to help matters.
