Tony was convinced that part of being the boss meant that he didn't need to deal with anything he didn't want to when he didn't want to. He had very smart people who liked spreadsheets who did the budget, and when forced, he would look over the numbers and make sure that they added up right, and that should have been the end of it.
Instead, here he was, Luthor running around ripping off his tech, and he was stuck staring at a Powerpoint graph as he solved-jumbled-solved a Rubik's cube until the pie graph leaked into the Rubik's cube and he got bored.
So, he started texting Pepper. He was listening - fiscal year upswing blah blah blah - he was just fundamentally incapable of focusing on only one conversation at a time: it didn't need his full attention, so he was going to make the best use of his time.

*Still?
*Because now I'm really sorry
*Get me out of here and I'll make it up to you
*However you want
*Some ways much more willingly than others
*Which intern did the PowerPoint?
Yeah, she was probably going to kill him for this. Or schedule more budget meetings. But at least it was better than - oh, someone save him - a scatter chart with sound effects.
