The next morning, Red Room headquarters, Sky Fortress.
In the top-floor office, Melina Voskov sat opposite Richard and reported the recent research results to him.
"Pheromone's Neutralizer has been initially developed successfully..."
She looked a little tired, and judging from her slovenly appearance, it seemed that she hadn't taken care of herself carefully for a while.
Her long brown-black hair was casually pulled into a knot, glistening under the sunlight; she wore a pair of rimless glasses on the bridge of her nose, and her white shirt was also wrinkled. The top few buttons were not fastened, and a touch of astonishing whiteness was looming...
Richard coughed dryly and reminded.
"Ahem, Melina..."
He gestured to the position of his chest.
Melina looked down and exclaimed.
"Yeah!"
She hurriedly covered her chest, and in an instant her nose turned red to the base of her ears.
"Hug, sorry, boss!"
Melina hurriedly fastened two buttons, lowering his head like a quail and not daring to raise it.
Richard touched her nose and reminded her earnestly, "Research work is important, but you should also ensure adequate rest and sleep."
"Maintaining a good mental state will allow you to better devote yourself to work..."
Melina nodded repeatedly. "Yes, boss, I will definitely pay attention to it in the future!"
Richard's comfort made her feel relieved, and her nervousness and shyness gradually eased.
"... Thanks to your recommendation Oksana, she is a genius in the field of pharmacy..."
Melina raised her head and continued her report. A few missing strands of hair playfully brushed her forehead, making her itchy and she had to raise her hand to brush it away from time to time.
"The Widow Agents who are currently back at the headquarters are using Neutralizer one by one. Thank you for your kindness, boss!"
"No need to thank you..." Richard waved his hand, "Since they choose to stay, let them continue to train. There will not be too few battles in the future!"
Melina pushed up his glasses, nodded and said, "Natasha is now responsible for daily exercise..."
Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here! The office door was pushed open violently.
"Richard!"
Natasha rushed in impatiently, followed by a little tail.
Melina stood up, put one hand on his waist, and yelled loudly, "Natasha! This is the boss's office! You should knock on the door first and get permission from the boss before you can come in!"
"And you! Yelena, it's exercise time now, why are you running here?"
Yelena shrunk his neck and hid behind Natasha, allowing the elder sister to face the anger of Foster Mother.
Natasha stopped, looking a little embarrassed and said, "Melina are you there too?! I, I just ran too fast... Yes, it's all Yelena's fault. If she hadn't been chasing me behind, I wouldn't have forgotten to knock on the door!"
Yelena's eyes widened in surprise, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Natasha! You..."
Natasha quickly turned around and winked at her.
Yelena pouted, lowered his head and apologized reluctantly. "I'm sorry, Melina, it's all my fault..."
Melina said reluctantly, "The person you should apologize to is the boss!"
Natasha secretly pulled Yelena's clothes, and the two bowed and apologized to Richard: "I'm sorry, boss!"
Richard couldn't laugh or cry, but he knew in his heart that Melina had a sudden attack because he was afraid that he would blame her two adopted daughters.
He waved his hand. "Okay, okay, I won't do this next time!"
As he spoke, he took out a hard drive and pushed it over.
"Melina, this hard drive stores all the data of Nanofiber technology and Combat Analysis System technology. Please study it carefully and convert the results as soon as possible."
Melina quickly picked up the hard drive and looked at it repeatedly, with a delighted smile on his face, "Nanofiber technology and Combat Analysis System? I know, boss! I'll study it when I get back!"
Richard nodded and warned, "You must pay attention to rest. Only when you are full of sleep can you have enough energy to conduct scientific research."
After speaking, he waved his hand and said:
"You go down first, Natasha stays!"
The joy on Melina's face immediately dissipated, and she glanced at Natasha worriedly. "Yes, boss!"
When passing by Natasha, Melina gave her a subtle wink, and then pulled Yelena, who looked reluctant, out of the office together.
As soon as he left the office, Yelena stamped his little feet, pursed his lips with dissatisfaction and complained, "Oh, Melina, why did you drag me out too! I haven't even seen clearly what the boss looks like!"
"You still said that!" Melina raised his eyebrows and scolded in a low voice, "You two were too reckless just now! If the leader of Red Room was still Dreykov, you would have been imprisoned in Dungeon by now!"
Yelena curled his lips. "Don't worry, Melina, Natasha will be fine, that's the sweetheart she thinks about day and night!"
"Sweetheart?" Melina looked slightly startled, and she quickly asked, "You mean Natasha likes the boss?!"
"Yes!" Yelena held Foster Mother's arm affectionately and complained as they walked, "You don't know how funny Natasha is, she does it every night..."
With her little mouth, she told Foster Mother all the embarrassing things about her elder sister...
In the office, Richard's ears twitched, and all the conversations between Yelena and Melina were heard in his ears.
Natasha had no idea. She sat on the chair with her head lowered and her fingers clasped.
"Richard, do you have anything else to do today?"
Richard looked at Natasha, whose ears were red, and a smile flashed in his eyes.
He did not answer the question, but asked instead, "Would you like to have dinner together tonight, beautiful Miss Natasha?"
Natasha's delicate body trembled, and she raised her head to look at Richard. A mist quickly rose in her gray eyes, and a smile as bright as a rose bloomed on her face.
"Okay!"
Richard's eyes were gentle for a moment, and the formal topic began.
"Natasha, I asked you to stay for one person..."
Natasha blinked and asked, "A person? Who?"
Richard: "Hawkeye!"
"Clint?" Natasha was stunned, she smiled bitterly and spread her hands, "If you want me to persuade Clint to leave S.H.I.E.L.D., sorry Richard, I'm afraid I can't..."
"No!" Richard smiled, "I only need you to arrange a meeting, and I will complete the persuasion work..."
Natasha breathed a sigh of relief, "No problem, but you need to avoid S.H.I.E.L.D.'s sight when we meet!"
After saying that, she hesitated and added, "Richard, Clint is different from me... He has a wife and children, and Nick Fury also knows this..."
"I know, Natasha." Richard was very happy. The attitude Natasha showed just now was obviously biased towards himself.
"I know that Hawkeye has a wife and children, and I also know that his wife is 'Mockingbird', the generation before S.H.I.E.L.D.."
"Mockingbird?!" Natasha looked shocked, "I can see that Laura has received professional training, but I didn't expect that she would be the 'Mockingbird' of the previous generation!"
Wait!
Natasha seemed to have thought of something, her face changed.
"Richard!"
"Is there a possibility..."
"Laura was specially arranged by Nick Fury to be next to Clint..."
"Watcher!"
