Pepper gave Jess a smile when their eyes met, responding to her unasked question with an unspoken I don't judge, I think you're a great person.
Frowning as though it had just occurred to her, although it had been something she'd been thinking about for a little while now, Pepper said:
"You know, I still need an assistant? Ever since I vacated the spot for CEO, it's been empty. I need to get around to that."

Jess perked up "There's a lot of people out there that would kill for the chance to be your assistant. Mostly on the off chance they might get to meet this fool" Jess nodded at Tony with a laugh, but it was obvious something was a little off.

Tony theatrically rolled his eyes.
"Well, I'd want them to also be qualified, not just starry-eyed."
He winked.

"What qualifies for a good assistant?" Jess asked half seriously "I mean it's not like Pepper is anything like you."

"If Pepper got anyone like her, then she'd be the luckiest woman." He said, his smile for once not a smirk or a knowing one, but affectionate.

"Well, I hoped I wouldn't need someone that can do all of that. I actually do my job as a CEO," she joked--but it was obvious that she returned that affection.
Just a little, of course. She couldn't show all of it.

"You know, I might know a couple people who are looking for a job. I'll send em your way."

Steve felt more than a little out of the conversation.
He could tell these three meant a lot to each other and there was a bond there that not a whole lot of people had.
He felt a sudden pang of loneliness and looked over at the oddly quiet Adrien.

Tony felt another twinge from the Palladium poisoning, and he paused where he was until it passed. Damn. It was getting worse. Schooling his features into something neutral, he flopped back down on the couch with Jess.

Pepper brightened.
"I'd love that. It'd give me a head-start in the search."

As if on queue Jess looked over at him and bit the inside of her cheek.
She got the feeling that the entire room was hiding something, well not the entire room. Pepper, she knew, had nothing to hide.
She threw her hand on Tony's thigh and squeezed "Yea no problem."

He squeezed her hand.
"Great! Tell me how that works out, eh?"

Jess had a few friends in mind that might be interested, ones that needed a semi normal job. Even if semi normal meant Stark Industries.
She looked up from Tony's thigh and carefully watched Steve. She'd caught the way he moved from the moment the elevator dinged open. He was confident but not overly so, he didn't have a swagger, but he walked with an air of authority. She could see how, mixed with his natural quiet nature, he could be seen as terribly sexy.
Of course tell him that and he'd probably just thank you and say something self deprecating.
But it wasn't just this she was noticing, it was the way he seemed attached to Adrien and it wasn't just because they'd come together. They had history, she could see it in the way they looked at each other.
Or more so in the way that they didn't.
"How did you two meet?" Jess asked very nonchalantly, masking her rabid curiosity with small talk.

Pepper was about to ask a question when her phone started shaking in her pocket. Frowning, she pulled it out and, seeing who it was, got to her feet.
"I'm sorry, but I've got to take this. Duty calls."
Phone in hand, she turned and headed outside onto the balcony.

There'd been something he'd been meaning to bring up with her, but their lives had been busy enough lately that it'd been hard to get a hold of Pepper. Seeing the opportunity, Tony got to his feet. "'Scuse me a moment..." He said, following Pepper .
