章 3: meeting Tony stark

I collapsed onto the couch as soon as ancient one left the room, every muscle in my body screaming for rest. My legs ache, my head throbbed, and my eyes burned from being open for too long. All i wanted to do was close them for a few minutes and let the world drift away. Despite the exhaustion, though, my mind was still active, racing with thoughts and worries. I knew that i should try to relax, but all i could feel was a deep-seated tiredness that seemed to soak into my very bones.

I remember that I have specific effects to things in magical space. I quickly drank the water and ate the fruits in it. This slowly worked it's charm as my body seemed to gain energy. Finally my body relaxed and I slept peacefully the entire night.

I woke up feeling sticky and it smells like shit

"What the hell is this smell??"

I looked around with confused face towards this familiar but unfamiliar room. Then I hurriedly ran to bathroom as I realised that shitty smell is from my body. I quickly took a shower and realised when I looked at myself in the mirror carefully.

"My skin looks shiny and Clear"

I recalled everything that happened to me till now. I realised that maybe this is the magical effect of the things which are in that magical dimension. My voice seems different than usual.

"My voice seems to be improved too "

It seems like I don't need to worry about my health and looks in the future. Maybe I can even become rich by selling these things.

Let's get everything clear for now. This woman is same as me and has same name. But our life is completely different. Her parents died in accident and she seemed to have distant personality. She is socially awkward which is the only thing we have in common. She works on stock market and I don't even have any idea about it. I seemed to have a little memories of this body so maybe I can manage selling of the shares for now.

I'm a little lazy woman so instead of going out and buy something to eat. I kept on eating and Drinking things from my magical space.

" Organic food is the best. It's better than those from chemical fruits and vegetables I used to it "

" There are many similar things from my world. There's YouTube, Google translate, Spotify and also twilight book is published. This universe is so similar. It has iPhone too. "

One month passed like this and I felt boring. So I quickly got ready and decided to go out. I realised all the dresses in my room seemed old fashioned. I'm used to do shopping alot so I went to a boutique. When I'm near the billing counter, I realised my poor financial condition.

" I can buy all the stocks which will definitely profit in future. I will be billionaire in the future with all the stocks but I need a smart man to give me advice but whom should I seek help"

I watched the TV in a daze and saw Tony stark face then I remembered again that I must complete the unknown task .

"Whatever it is...I must first try to get close to him."

I followed the latest news and tried to meet him but nothing worked. I underestimated his popularity. I felt tired and came back to my room after several failures.

I suddenly remembered that he usually enjoys in playing rather than attending meetings . So I purposefully roamed around place close to the meetings of stark industry.

One day, I finally saw him in the bar. I was thinking of ways to approach him but he took the initiative in approaching me. I felt flustered by sudden action so I drank the alcohol in my hand.

He ordered his drink and looked at me for a while. He said

"Excuse me, I couldn't help but notice you. You're the most beautiful woman in this room. Can I buy you a drink?"

my socially awkward nature came out in critical time,

"Um, sure... thank you."

Tony took my hand with a smile while saying

"So how did a stunning woman like you end up in this mundane bar? I feel like I've won the lottery just by meeting you."

Who doesn't like compliments so obviously I smiled with a pinch of blush on my cheeks and my face felt hot,

"Oh please, stop it..."

He smiled charmingly while saying

"I'm just stating the truth. The way your eyes sparkle when you smile could light up this entire room."

I realised maybe because of those nourishing water and fruits that I became beautiful. I'm quite self aware of how I looked before and after. Even I feel mesmerized by my beauty when I see in the mirror. So it's normal for Tony to feel like this. I regained my confidence and spoke with a smile

"You're quite the charmer, aren't you?"

Tony drank his wine and said

"I don't need to charm you. Your beauty speaks for itself. Can I ask for your name? Or shall I just call you the woman who stole my breath away?"

I blushed even though I know these are some old cheesy flirty tricks I read in my previous life even though I know him. I wanted act like I don't remember him so I said,

"My name is Anna. And yours?"

He smirked while saying

"My name is Tony Stark, but you can call me whatever you'd like. I'd do anything to hear you say my name."

I giggled while replying

"Oh, you're too much! So, what do you do, Tony Stark?wait... Stark....as in the stark industries?are you really that genius playboy Tony stark? "

He leaned in closer,

"Yes , most people know me as the infamous playboy billionaire. But you...you look so pure to me in a way no one ever has. There's something magical about you, Anna. I find myself wanting to learn more about you"
