Marvel Salted Fish Kryptonian

Perhaps the meeting of two old women is not a big deal, but if one is called "Katherine" and the other is called "Audrey", also known as "Ms. Hepburn", it is also a topic of discussion.

Both of them were big stars who were used to dealing with media reporters, so they are quite sensitive to the movements of paparazzi.

Catherine was the first to speak: "Let's go get in the car first. You must be a little tired after flying all the way from Switzerland."

"Fortunately, I got a good rest on the plane. It's just the jet lag. I can't adapt to it that quickly."

Catherine said to Henry, who was standing stupidly by the side, "Kid, help your star with his luggage. You don't even have this much self-awareness. I really doubt you can do your job well."

"Ah, yes." Henry quickly took Audrey's handbag and said, "Ma'am, please let me serve you."

"Thank you for your help, handsome boy." The two old sisters, with their arms linked together, chatted about their lives during this period as if they had endless things to say.

Henry dropped the two of them off at the waiting area and then drove to the parking lot.

He also knew that the interview for the role of Audrey Hepburn's driver had already begun, but he didn't know whether the first impression he made on the other party was good or bad.

Chapter 91 Job Offer

"Robert didn't follow you?" Katherine asked.

Since her divorce from André Dotti in 82, Robert Wolders, a Dutch actor who was seven years younger than Audrey, has become her certified "life partner".

However, the two of them did not get married, but instead lived in a relationship more than just friends.

Audrey Hepburn would bring her young boyfriend to many public events, and the two even met with then-US President Reagan together.

In contrast, Catherine has been single since her divorce 34 years ago and has no children. But this doesn't mean she doesn't care about her friends' love lives, so she asked.

Audrey said helplessly, "Robert isn't very interested in charity events in Africa, so he doesn't really want to go this time. I don't want to force him."

"Hmph, men. They're very enthusiastic when going to a bar or restaurant, but asking for their company is like asking for their life." Catherine fired a map cannon.

Henry, sitting in the driver's seat, said helplessly to the two people in the back seat: "Hello, ladies, I'm driving very well. I don't deserve to be criticized like this. I'm injured."

"Ha, good boy, drive carefully. And then no matter what you hear, ignore it yourself. Will that make you feel better?"

Catherine's sharp words continued to make Henry very depressed.

Audrey came to the rescue and said, "Henry, how long have you been driving? You drive very smoothly."

Henry said honestly, "I've had my driver's license for about six months. Before that, I was only in Alaska, a no-man's land. I'm considered a natural driver."

All three sentences are true, but many situations are not mentioned. However, it is enough for others to imagine.

Moreover, the quality of a driver's driving skills can only be determined by actual experience, and driving experience is only used as a reference. Both Audrey and Catherine have experienced the experience of experienced drivers with poor driving skills.

Some people, like those who don't know how to use the accelerator, can't maintain a constant speed; they press and release it intermittently, causing the car's speed to fluctuate like a wave. Even driving in a straight line can make people feel carsick.

Catherine assisted from the side and said, "Little Henry's driving skills are pretty good. At least he drove this old car without shaking it so much that an old woman like me vomited my breakfast."

Henry acted innocent and said, "Catherine, I asked you if you wanted me to rent a car."

"Ha, don't worry, kid, no one will mind your old car."

The third-generation DeVille, model year 65, was considered a large luxury car by Cadillac. While not as luxurious as top-tier luxury cars like Bentley and Rolls-Royce, it was still a prestigious car for some Hollywood stars.

These two aging beauties have seen all sorts of things. At this age, they've reached a point where they're not jealous or demanding. Of course, they don't mind the car they ride; safety and comfort are more important.

Moreover, since Henry knew that he would be driving this Cadillac to pick up these two distinguished guests, he cleaned the interior thoroughly, almost to the point of being completely refurbished.

Especially the smell, gaps and other places that are difficult for ordinary people to notice, the Kryptonians have repaired them according to their own standards. They are just short of dismantling the entire car and doing detailed maintenance.

As for the car's performance, the previous owner of the Cadillac had done a pretty good job, and he had no bad habits in daily driving, so the car had no major problems. This was also a major reason why Henry agreed to take over.

In other words, the only thing I can fault with this car is that the paint on the body is not shiny enough. Although it has been waxed, it still doesn't look like new.

But for two aging celebrities who consider themselves past their prime, this flaw is just the right thing to do. At their age, they don't want to relive the memories of playing hide-and-seek with paparazzi.

"Oh, by the way." Audrey pulled out a business card from her handbag and handed it forward, asking, "Henry, do you know this address?"

Henry took the business card and glanced at it. "Ronnie Insurance Managers?"

Although insurance managers also sell insurance, this profession does not stand on the side of the insurance company, but on the side of the policyholder to create a suitable insurance plan for them.

Managers may work with multiple insurance companies and will not only promote the products of a particular insurance company.

Because managers stand on the policyholder's side, they also provide some additional services to enable policyholders to meet the prerequisites for a certain insurance product in order to achieve maximum security and reduce premiums.

Audrey Hepburn's description is indeed in line with this common sense. She said: "Ronnie told me that if I want to buy insurance for this trip to Somalia, Africa, I have to bring a security team that meets the requirements.

"Ronnie helped me contact a security team this time. One of the purposes of coming to Los Angeles is to meet with this team. If it's a good fit, we'll sign a contract."

"The security team." Henry's voice was a little lost.

The two elderly beauties were both very attentive and had perfected their ability to read people's expressions. They understood the young man's tone without Henry saying anything.

Audrey chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Henry. From the moment I saw you, this job belongs to you. Unless you don't want it."

Henry beamed excitedly, "How could I possibly refuse such an opportunity? It would be the honor of my life to serve Ms. Hepburn."

His attitude reveals his true nature as a dog licker. Even the amount he didn't lick before crossing over, he licked enough in this lifetime.

But to say that Henry was unaware of this was not entirely true. He simply sang in his mind various rhymes along the lines of "Young people don't know how good aunts are, but only after they have tasted it do they realize how sweet soft rice is."

Audrey was not happy about Henry's immediate agreement. Instead, she said seriously, "But this job is not easy, little Henry. I'm looking for a personal assistant rather than a driver.

"The most important thing about this job is that I travel around the world with you, even though most of the time I'll be in Europe. Anton, who originally followed me, has been working for me since I was still filming in Hollywood.

"But after I became the UN Goodwill Ambassador for Children in 88, visiting and attending charity events all over the world, he became overwhelmed and chose to retire. That's why I needed a new assistant.

"I have to make it clear to you that this isn't just a simple driving job. It's not that difficult, but it's very complicated. Most importantly, you have to accompany an old woman like me everywhere. Are you willing to do that?"

"Of course, ma'am. I have some talent in languages ​​and may be of great help." Henry repeated this short sentence in French, Dutch and German.

Chapter 92 New Job Confirmed

"I'm really surprised." Audrey expressed her surprise without hesitation. She then turned to her older sister beside her and said, "Catherine, you said you would give me a surprise. Could this be it?"

Catherine was born and raised in the United States, so besides English, she only knows a little French, and she doesn't speak it very fluently.

In contrast, Audrey was born in Belgium to a British family of Dutch nobility and could speak several major European languages ​​like a native speaker.

The three languages ​​used by Henry are also the official languages ​​of Belgium.

Catherine hadn't expected Henry to do this, but it didn't surprise her much. Tony's venom was still as sharp as ever at Henry, but the fact that he'd never once called him a fool spoke volumes.

So Catherine shook her head and said, "That's not the surprise I was talking about. I recommended this kid to be your driver because of his talent."

"Talent?" Audrey looked curiously at the young man driving through the rearview mirror.

Catherine continued, "Little Henry is not afraid of bullets."

"Not afraid of bullets?" Audrey was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is it the kind of bullet-proof I think it is?"

"It's probably what you think it is, bulletproof." Catherine even gestured with her finger to her head, as if firing a gun. Then, looking at her right hand, which had been shaped like a gun, she shook her head in disdain.

Audrey Hepburn was really surprised this time.

People with special talents are not rare in this world. And for unknown reasons, this world is quite tolerant of mutants with special talents.

So Audrey Hepburn did not feel disgusted or uncomfortable because the other person had special talents.

She was simply curious, so she asked, "Henry, if you have such talent, I think you can find a better job. I can't afford that kind of salary."

"Yes, ladies," Henry said helplessly, "but think about it carefully. What kind of person would be willing to pay a lot of money to hire me to take a bullet?"

Good guys? I'm afraid most of them are bad guys.

Audrey and Catherine figured this out at the same time. Their age had already proven they weren't the naive, childlike types who'd been raised in a greenhouse. They'd seen the dark side of society, but they weren't completely ignorant either.

Henry said directly and frankly: "I don't think about how much money I can make with this talent, and it doesn't matter if I can't use it. Being able to work for Ms. Hepburn is what I value.

"As for compensation, just think of me as an ordinary driver or assistant. I'm even willing to pay for this job. So, ma'am, how much do you think I should pay for the opportunity to serve you?"

"Oh, Henry, are you serious? That's so sweet." Audrey asked, holding her heart.

"Of course, the opportunity to serve beautiful ladies isn't something everyone gets. On the contrary, there are people everywhere who do so many bad things that people want to shoot them. If I want to make money like that, I have to sacrifice my conscience first."

"Yes, Audrey, take this good child with you. Your health is worse than mine, twenty years older than you, and you like to run around everywhere. Without someone suitable to take good care of you, how much time do you think we can spend together?"

Catherine made an assist at the right time, so that Audrey Hepburn did not have the opportunity to worry like Tony Stark did before, wondering why Henry, who had such talent, did not help more people.

Besides, traveling all over the place did have some impact on Audrey's health.

She let go of the elderly man who had always been by her side. Besides the fact that Anton himself was unable to handle such a job, Audrey also felt that Anton was not up to the task. Therefore, she needed new blood to join the team to better help her carry out charity activities.

Finally, Audrey Hepburn gave in. She said, "Well, Henry, you're welcome to join me. For a retired star, I hope you won't mind the salary I can offer you."

"Of course not, ma'am."

"Call me Audrey. Otherwise, you just call me Katharine by my first name, but only call me Ms. Hepburn. It makes me feel jealous."

Is it a woman's innate skill to act coquettishly in a jealous tone? Henry admitted that he couldn't stand it, and even Kryptonians had to break their defenses.

"Okay, Audrey." Henry whispered carefully as he drove, "Actually, I have one little wish."

"Oh, please."

Henry said, "It would be really great if I could get an autographed photo of you. I've searched all over Hollywood and can't find any of your pictures in any souvenir shops, or even at auction houses."

Catherine, still sharp and venomous, said self-deprecatingly, "Who would want a photo of an outdated old woman? So it's normal that you can't find it, isn't it?"

"Isn't it because those who have the autographed photos of the two treasure them so much that they are not available on the market?"

"Oh, my God, Catherine, what's wrong with this child?" Audrey pulled her elder sister's arm, patted it and asked.

"Well, I have to admit that the person introduced by the Stark man seems to be of the same character as those two father and son. They don't seem very reliable. Otherwise, why don't you choose a new assistant?"

"Hello, ladies, I don't talk like that to everyone," Henry said aggrievedly.

"It's a familiar smell indeed." The two old sisters looked at the man in the driver's seat with vigilant eyes, as if they were a united front. Then they laughed to themselves.

Henry gave an embarrassed look in return and quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, are we going to the insurance manager now?"

"No, we made an appointment with them in the afternoon. It's almost noon now, maybe we should find a place to have lunch. Do you have any recommendations? I flew all night and only had a cup of coffee and a piece of toast for breakfast. I'm starving now." Audrey said.

"Well, how about Italian food?" Henry suggested. "It's a family-style restaurant run by an Italian couple. I can't say if the taste is authentic, because I've never been to Italy. But it's really delicious. Do you have any restaurants you'd like to try?"

The two sisters exchanged a glance. Audrey said excitedly, "No, let's go to this Italian restaurant. Let's evaluate whether their Italian cuisine is authentic."

Catherine added: "Yeah, I'm tired of people treating me like an old man. They always tell me I can't eat this or that."

Henry, who hadn't thought of this for a moment, was embarrassed and wanted to back out. But seeing that the two celebrities were already enthusiastically discussing Italian food, he still sent them to Aunt Saizeriya's restaurant.

For the elderly, it is more important to maintain a happy mood than to avoid certain foods.

Thanks to leviii, The Pianist of Destiny, Mr. Di, Where Are You? I am Yuan Fang, and book friend 20240813869_eC for their tips.

Chapter 93 Insurance Manager Company

Aunt Saizeriya’s Italian cuisine is so delicious that it can conquer two big stars.

Audrey happily spoke to him in Italian, not only about cooking but also about everything else. Henry acted as an interpreter, relaying what she said to Catherine, who didn't understand Italian, and occasionally helped her interrupt.

In the end, even without Henry translating, Catherine seemed to be able to intervene in the Italian communication between Salia and Audrey, laughing when she should laugh and making expressions when she should make them.

According to Henry's observations, in addition to the tacit understanding between women, the most important thing is the body movements used when speaking Italian, which are actually easier to learn than the language itself.

After watching it so many times, Catherine figured out the tricks behind it and learned it without any teacher.

The fixed program after the meal is, of course, taking a photo with the boss and the big star.

This was the era when instant cameras were popular, and most celebrities would not refuse to have their photos taken with them. Because these cameras had no negative film, it was very difficult to alter or manipulate the photos later.

If a photo is not properly stored and is destroyed, it will be gone forever and cannot be recovered. This uniqueness makes Polaroid photos even more precious.

So the two Audrey Hepburns took photos with the boss and his wife, leaving a message at the same time. This kind of Polaroid romance is something that young people in the future digital camera era will never be able to experience.

After the delicious lunch, Henry drove the two ladies to downtown Los Angeles.

Ronnie Insurance Managers was located on the upper floors of a commercial building, but not just anyone could walk into the building, press the elevator, and go to any floor.

The joint reception desk and security personnel in the first-floor lobby diligently keep out anyone unqualified. Anyone not currently in the building who wishes to enter must make an appointment in advance.

The arrival of Ms. Catherine and Ms. Audrey Hepburn was not blocked by any little devils, as Mr. Wales Ronnie was waiting in the first floor lobby to greet the distinguished guests who had made appointments for the day.

This is an old gentleman who is no younger than Audrey Hepburn. His kind-hearted, plump figure and well-dressed clothes all reveal that he is an old-school elite white-collar worker.

The two were old acquaintances, and the first thing they did was give each other a kiss on the cheek. Mr. Ronnie greeted Audrey excitedly with a look that Henry also understood. "Ms. Hepburn, it's an honor to serve you again."

"Xiaowei, I came here uninvited. You won't turn me away, will you?" Catherine was a step slower, but also gave Mr. Ronnie a kiss on the cheek.
