Chapter 122 - 51

The moment he saw the caller ID, Peter quickly answered."Hello, Aunt Mei.""Peter, how does it feel to spend the night away from home?" Aunt Mei's gentle voice warmed Peter's heart."Don't worry, Aunt Mei. The benefits at Umbrella Corporation are great; even the employee dorms are single-occupancy apartments, and water and electricity are completely free.""Not only that, even the food in the cafeteria is prepared by chefs hired from five-star hotels!If the company didn't forbid taking food out, I would have planned to bring some back for you to taste!" Peter Parker said with a hint of showing off."Oh~ Peter, that's truly wonderful!" Aunt Mei praised him sincerely.Hearing that Peter had found such a well-paying job, Aunt Mei was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.In her eyes, although Peter was not her biological child, the relationship between them was not much different; she had always treated Peter Parker like her own child."Seeing that you are still living happily away from home, I can rest easy.""By the way, Peter... if you have any need for money, remember to tell me... I..."Knock, knock, knock—Before Aunt Mei could finish her sentence, a sudden knock on the door startled Peter."Sorry, Aunt Mei, I have something to attend to, I'll call you back tomorrow morning!As for the money issue... don't worry, the salary here is very high!""In that case, alright, I was just about to rest anyway.""Bye-bye, Peter.""Bye~ Aunt Mei."Hanging up the phone, Peter rushed to the door in a stride.Click!As soon as the door opened, Angela, wearing pajamas, came into view."Peter, since you're free after work, are you interested in having a drink?" She shook the brandy in her hand, a smile curling the corners of her mouth.Facing this sudden invitation, Peter was momentarily at a loss.He subconsciously sized up the Angela before him.Her loose pajamas made her look exceptionally lazy, her fluffy blonde hair slightly messy, looking as if she had just taken a shower.Only a door frame separated the two, and that faint fragrance drilled straight into Peter's nose, making his thoughts somewhat sluggish."O... of course." He stammered his agreement.This was the first time he had ever been invited by a member of the opposite sex.Seeing Peter nod, Angela slipped into the room very naturally, set down the wine bottle, and then fetched two portions of pizza, fried chicken, and fries from her room.Looking at this overly familiar team leader, Peter stood there at a loss for a moment, and only after Angela had poured the drinks herself did he sit down opposite her.Compared to Peter's reserve, Angela spoke first."Peter, are you adapting to the work today?"Peter Parker, being asked, quickly nodded: "Thanks to Miss Angela's help, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to integrate so quickly."He wasn't flattering her.Although he was introduced by Eleanor, he couldn't skip any of the work he was supposed to do; he couldn't just hold the position and eat for free.It was just that he had just graduated from high school and lacked work experience, so he made quite a few mistakes throughout the day.Fortunately, Angela took the blame for him, comforted and encouraged him from time to time, and taught him step-by-step how to handle things, which allowed him to quickly get into the swing of things.In Peter's eyes, Angela was just like a gentle, understanding big sister from a comic book, taking great care of him."By the way, Peter, you said you graduated from Midtown High School, is Mr. Miller still as talkative as ever?And that old car of Director Hunt's that hit a street lamp on campus, has it been replaced?" Angela intentionally brought up the topic of school.Peter, having just left school, was clearly interested in this topic."You mean Mr. Miller... his talkativeness is even worse than before.As for Director Hunt, he did replace his car two years ago, but less than a month after replacing it, he hit a street lamp again.""Hahaha... that's too tragic~~""Who's to say it isn't."After two glasses of strong brandy went down, Peter's head gradually began to spin.They say alcohol gives the timid courage; people who are usually quiet often become chatterboxes after a drink, and Peter was exactly like that.He gradually let go of his reserve, even switching from passively responding to leading the conversation, occasionally making Angela laugh out loud.I don't know how long it had been, but Peter finally slumped on the table and fell fast asleep, a mysterious smile still hanging on his face, as if he had dreamt of something good.It wasn't until the set alarm clock rang in his ear that he suddenly woke up from his dream.Patting his groggy head, Peter seemed to suddenly remember something and sat up from the bed with a start!The room still retained a faint smell of alcohol and Angela's scent.He turned his head to look at the table.The messy tabletop from his memory had been cleaned spotless, and on it sat a cup of hot milk, along with a serving of fried bacon and eggs with whole wheat bread."This... did Miss Angela make this for me?"He walked off the bed and only then noticed a card attached next to the breakfast.[Peter, remember to eat breakfast~~— Your Team Leader Angela]In the bottom right corner of the card, a Q-version avatar of Angela was drawn.Peter looked at the card in his hand and the breakfast on the table, a smile involuntarily appearing on his face.The scenes of last night's laughter and heart-to-heart talk were still vivid in his mind.Thinking of these, a throb of excitement suddenly surged in the bottom of his heart...The face of his goddess, Mary Jane, was quietly being replaced by another face in his mind.Angela: Mission accomplished! The so-called goddess of adolescence is simply no match for a big-sister-type succubus!On the other side.In the office, Eleanor reported to Matthew with a serious face: "Sir, Peter Parker's test data is out. It has been confirmed that his genes indeed differ from normal humans."Matthew had long expected this result."Take me to the laboratory."Inside the laboratory, behind the researchers who were marveling at Peter Parker's gene sequence combination, the door suddenly opened.Everyone, hearing the commotion, turned their heads, and seeing that the person who came was Matthew, they hurriedly made way respectfully.Without any unnecessary pleasantries, Matthew asked straight to the point: "How is your research going?"He looked at the chief researcher in charge of the matter, his gaze lingering briefly on the ID badge on the other's chest, and called out the person's name: "... Dr. Martin."
