[Zhongyingmei] After inheriting the throne

Chapter 51 The Tower of Thorns

Manhattan, Kean Georges Restaurant.

The three of them were guided to the corresponding seats by the usher, and sat down smoothly in this French restaurant with three Michelin stars.

In the parlance of Sex and the City, Tony Stark proved his power very well with his face.After all, everyone knows who can be greeted warmly by the usher without an appointment.

It was the first time for Roman to enter such a top-tier restaurant favored by various celebrities and rich people, and as Gladys, it was also the first time for her to be involved in such a high-end place.

But she showed no timidity, and there was no curiosity or surprise on that usually indifferent face.

Although his face was not obvious, Roman's heart was the most nervous before entering the restaurant.High-end restaurants like this often have clear requirements for customers' dress.

It would be embarrassing if you were refused entry to a restaurant because your attire was too casual.As far as her current career in the fashion industry is concerned, she may be edited and published in the tabloids tomorrow, becoming an indelible stain, which will affect her subsequent career.

Fortunately, Roman is dressed decently today, wearing a big-name ready-to-wear that was matched by Cinderella, and with the styling that Cinderella personally took care of, he is a very handsome guy.

This may also be one of the reasons that caused Tony's hostility towards her.

They maintained a peaceful appearance and finished the dinner politely.By the time we finished eating, it was almost time.So Roman planned to leave.

They greeted each other and left the restaurant together.When they got downstairs, a woman stopped them.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. But, I really have something very important to see Tony Stark." Unusual ordinary eyes looked straight at Tony on the right.

Roman and Pepper's eyes immediately went wrong, and the two couldn't help but glance back and forth between Tony and the strange woman.

Tony's face is innocent, no, he can't be said to be innocent, he may still have a guilty conscience, even though he doesn't remember the woman's face.

Just kidding, he never remembers what his one-night stand looks like, let alone his real girlfriend, Pepper, who is still standing by his side.

Although Pepper had handled many similar matters for him before, he sent those Tony's one-night stands away neatly.But, my God, she was just an ordinary secretary at that time, and she had no ambiguous relationship with him.

The situation is very different now, you know, even Happy dared to talk to him, saying that Pepper is the boss who pays his salary.

Seeing their expressions, the woman quickly explained, "I'm Maya Hansen. You wrote me a scientific equation 13 years ago. Maybe you can remember it this way." She took out an old paper from her pocket. On the back of the business card, there are several strings of incomprehensible formulas written on it.

It sounds like she's here to talk business.

Pepper called "Tony"

She was questioning Tony, and confirming.

According to the woman, it sounded like it was worth their while to lower the alert level a notch.However, in this world, there have always been many conspiracies targeting Tony Stark, and Pepper has to confirm that she is not a conspiracy against Tony.

Although Tony didn't know the purpose of Miss Hansen, he continued, "Well, yes, she is a botanist friend I know. Of course, we don't know each other very well." His desire to survive was extremely strong.

"I have something important to tell you about research. Maybe we can move places."

At this moment, Roman, who had not yet left, received a reminder from Cinderella on his mobile phone, "Be careful."

As a result, Roman, who was about to leave, immediately raised his vigilance, and his eyes swept over the newly appeared woman again.

At the same time, Cinderella also projected Maya Hansen's profile on her contact lenses.Among them, the information gap in the middle shows that this Miss Hansen Carologist was or is currently working for Pioneer Technology, and the project is top secret.

It seems that a positive breakthrough can be made.

Roman stopped when he was about to turn around.She walked up to Pepper again, and said to Pepper, "It seems that they still have business to talk about. Do you want me to take you home?"

Tony, who was still hastily recalling Maya Hansen and the equation in his mind, immediately stopped talking.

This guy is really ruthless, desperately wanting to be courteous.how can this work

He immediately intercepted Pepper's unspoken words, "No, thank you. I will send my girlfriend back safely." Don't worry about it, don't worry about it.

It was Pepper who noticed something unusual from this unusual conversation.

How did this scene remind her of Tony when he first became Iron Man.At that time, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Black Widow, as Tony's new secretary, managed to get close to Tony himself.If it weren't for what happened to Stan later, she wouldn't have exposed it.

Could it be that Roman is also an agent and this time, the target of those intelligence organizations is still the person in power of Stark Industries

So, did she herself become the target this time? Or, is she just a springboard?

Pepper could hardly resist asking.At this time, Tony's face suddenly became tense, not knowing what Maya said to Tony.

He suddenly grabbed Pepper, and then said to Maya, "Come on, let's go to the Avengers Building." Then, he turned his head and reluctantly said to Roman, "You too, Miss Sarat."

Pepper was confused again.Although she still had doubts in her heart, she still felt that as an ordinary person who didn't know why and couldn't protect herself at this moment, it would be better to cooperate.

She endured the questions that kept popping up in her heart, and then, she was pulled into the self-driving car cooperatively by Tony, and at the same time, distractedly beckoned Maya and Roman to get in the car together.

Also on the island of Manhattan, they soon reached the Avengers Tower.Perhaps the Avengers Building gave Tony a certain sense of security. After entering the door, his movements finally eased a little, although he still remained nervous.

Tony said, "Pepper, I don't think you have taken your friend to visit the Avengers Building yet. This is a rare opportunity. You take her to take a good look around."

Then, he turned his head to let Maya Hansen go upstairs with him, and tried to look like a research fanatic, talking to Maya about some recent new research.Apparently, they wanted to enter a floor with a higher level of confidentiality for a meeting.

There was obvious worry on Pep's face, but in this regard.She still obeyed Tony's arrangement.

She was only stunned for a moment before she realized it and said, "Oh, yes, this is a rare opportunity. Roman, you really should take a good look around."

At first, Roman could not help showing a look of worry between his brows, but now he returned to his original expression, and then followed the pace of the two, agreeing, "Then I am really lucky. This will definitely be a good sightseeing experience. What are you waiting for, let's go."

With different thoughts, the three of them finished the scene in coordination with each other.

Roman watched Tony and the suspicious female scientist go upstairs, while typing "Is there something wrong with Stark" on the reaction zone of the contact lens?

Cinderella replied, "Don't worry about him, this is just an ordinary person. In comparison, her backside deserves our attention."

After getting a reassuring answer, Roman turned to look at Pepper again.

Pepper said that he would take her for a stroll, but after Tony left, those worries couldn't be restrained.

"Pepper, don't worry." Roman couldn't help reassuring, "That's Iron Man. And she's a scientist, maybe, they're just discussing how to save the world again" She can lead the conversation to less serious things .

Roman may not know, but Pepper has been with Tony for a long time, how could he not know that the man loves to be brave?

He always likes to take care of everything on himself, even if he has something to say, it's okay.But now, Tony clearly showed that serious expression, which showed that the matter was not so serious.

Tony must have something else to hide from her.And this is about personal safety, or the safety of more people.

Although Roman didn't intend to help Tony cooperate, but for her friend, she still tried her best to appease him and try to divert Pepper's attention.

"You just said, you're going to take me around the Avengers Building and let me guess, if I walk around now, can I see Captain America or someone else"

After finishing speaking, she smiled shyly and pretended to say, "I'm sorry, I don't know the other members of the Avengers except Iron Man, Captain America, and Thor. Will this be Makes me look so earthy, like I've never been online before"

"Of course not, the three of them are the most popular heroes, in addition to the Hulk." As he spoke, Pepper thought of the two agents belonging to SHIELD, Black Widow and Hawkeye.

Just, should she tell them so what if it's Tony's own business

Pepper was caught in a dilemma again, because she was definitely on Tony's side, while the other two were on the government's side.

You know, most of the time, the relationship between those politicians and Tony is not good, and they are just talking to each other, which is considered peaceful.Not to mention, this is just her personal idea.What if they're not here? What if they don't have a way to fix this?

Thinking about it this way, maybe it would be a less bad idea to find Captain America, who also has his own ideas.

So Pepper said, "You just said that you are more interested in Captain America. If we meet, maybe you can ask him for an autograph."

"It couldn't be better." Roman answered cooperatingly. "But is Captain America here?"

"Captain America is upstairs." The artificial intelligence in the building issued a thoughtful reminder.

"Oh, that would be great." Pepper urged, "Let's go."

Roman tried his best to make his expression look more excited, "I really hope there are pens and paper here. You know, when I went out, I didn't even bring my wallet with me."

So, Pepper took Roman up to the floor of the public living room through his authority.

And when they stepped out of the elevator, they happened to see a tall blond man sitting on the sofa in the living room with his back to them.Even though he was sitting on the soft sofa, his back was still straight. When he heard the sound, he just turned his head and got up and said, "Hey, long time no see, Pepper."

"Long time no see, Captain." Pepper greeted him.Then, she pulled Roman two steps forward "This is my friend, Roman Zarate. She is your fan, maybe you can sign him"

"Of course, it's not a problem. Hello, Miss Sarat." Captain America also greeted.

The blond man replied with a smile, with a kind expression on his face.As for the formulaic smile on the face, it can be edited directly from the various promotional videos to get the exact same expression.

As an intuitive creature, Roman naturally felt the vigilance the other party should have.

When she was going upstairs just now, she felt Pepper's fingers secretly tap something on the phone.The movements were very small, like someone who met a gangster and was talking to the gangster for a while while secretly calling the police.

Pepper seemed wary of her.It seems that she can feel more at ease with Pepper.

Of course, Captain America will not come down to entertain them because of "signing autographs for friends of friends".After the artificial intelligence reported the situation, he roughly knew what happened and was keenly aware of Pepper's meaning.Maybe Pepper was asking him for help, or something.

Pepper wanted to trust her friends, but with the experience of Black Widow, she felt that she should be more cautious.

At the very least, if Roman is really an agent of an official agency, then Captain America must be able to respond appropriately to this.If the situation is bad, if Roman tries to harm her and Tony, then she will never allow herself to be Tony's weakness.

She wants to protect Tony's heart, and Tony wants to protect her heart, it is the same.
