"So, you two are looking for a place to live, and you've even come to Gary's place?" Henry asked, changing the subject.

Fabio answered first, "I can't very well recommend some chaotic neighborhoods to a single woman. It's just that the suitable houses are all too expensive. Charlize wants to keep looking."

"So I brought her here to try my luck with Gary. You know, it's not like you can just move in here whenever you want. Gary has to give his approval first."

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on old Gary, who had tied his T-shirt in a knot at his waist, exposing his belly, wearing tight leggings, and with eyeshadow on.

The alluring landlady hesitated for a moment before saying, "Henry, your friend is nice. What If...? she'd like to move in, I can show her some empty rooms. I also have rooms available for rent, much cheaper."

"Really? Gary. That's wonderful!" Charlize said happily.

Old Gary said, "Young lady, you earned this yourself. Do you know how many people have shown blatant disgust at the sight of me? Of course, I don't like that look of someone eyeing prey either."

"My so-called screening is simply about finding tenants who can tolerate my personality. I've finally found myself, so I have the right to choose people who won't look down on me to live with."

Charlize chimed in, "Of course you can, Gary, it's your right. You're just being yourself, which is better than those bastards who resort to violence against others."

Old Gary said happily, "Ah, good girl, I knew I would like you. My top floor has a series of small suites, and although you have to climb stairs, the privacy is quite good."

"If you'd like a lower rent, I also have a whole house with rooms available for rent. One of the rooms is occupied by girls. The empty room belongs to a female college student who just graduated and moved out this year. You can go and take a look."

Charlize smiled and said, "Gary, then take me to see them all."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll grab a key." With that, old Gary went into his house.

Seeing this, Henry said, "Then you guys go ahead with your work. I also need to put the things I bought in the Fridge." He had no intention of interfering with their decision-making.

If Charlize Theron were to make an irrational decision about her wallet out of consideration for others, who do you think this South Africa diamond will blame later? What If...? she couldn't refuse because of social pressure, that would be even more of a sin.

"Okay, see you later."

After saying goodbye to Charlize and Fabio, Henry went straight up to the third floor, returned to his room, and tidied his the Fridge.

The fruits and vegetables you buy should be refrigerated if necessary, and placed in a wire cage if they don't need refrigeration. Tiger generally don't eat fruit, but they can get the water from it What If...? they can't find another water source.

Following the principle that Kitty would try anything any two-legged creature could eat, the fruit she bought was left unprotected and quite a few were ruined. So Henry had no choice but to get an iron cage to keep the fruit inside...

As for why it's not a Tiger cage, it can only be said that Kitty might not necessarily persist in destroying the cage to eat fruit, but she would definitely persist in destroying the iron cage that confines her.

Meanwhile, Charlize, who was walking behind Gary, asked, "Gary, which floor does Henry live on?"

"Henry, he lives in the corner room on the third floor."

Charlize then asked, "Do you live alone?"

"Yes, he lives alone. Oh, and he also has a pet."

"You allow pets here? I thought most landlords didn't like their tenants having pets."

"In principle, it's not allowed. But as long as they don't yell in the middle of the night, or frequently urinate or defecate in the hallway without cleaning up after themselves, I can be lenient. However, once they make a mistake, that leniency is gone."

"Um."

Gary said, "Henry lives in a one-bedroom apartment. It's smaller than a typical house, but bigger than a suite. I usually rent to people who have a lot of personal belongings, like studio owners, or painters and sculptors."

"Oh, is Henry really that kind of person?"

Old Gary thought for a moment and said, "Probably not. But he's put a lot of stuff in the house. I'm having a headache figuring out how to restore it to its original state after he stops renting it out. I really shouldn't have been so lenient with him."

"Is he a very slippery person, a real scoundrel?" Charlize asked.

"No, that Henry guy always tries to bribe people with delicious food. I've eaten so much of it that I don't know how to refuse him anymore."

"Well, this is a cunning fellow."

"Haha, that's not wrong. He is indeed a cunning little fellow." Old Gary and Fabio looked at each other and laughed.

Don't assume that Henry and Fabio's connection only began four years ago when they first arrived in Los Angeles and rented an apartment. In fact, their contact with these Italy never truly ended, as Henry frequently bought special computer parts from Giovanni.

It was precisely because of this friendship that Fabio was able to tease Gary behind his back about the absent person without any reservations.

However, Charlize Theron was quite restrained in her questions about Henry, as if she didn't care at all, and her main focus remained on the house.

But in conversation, one can't help but gravitate towards that particular person, wanting to know what old Gary and Fabio think of Henry.

Such ulterior motives were impossible for two men well past fifty to hide. However, they didn't rashly offer to help, because if the target was that man, they weren't really sure they could succeed.

In their early twenties, even if they're not particularly attractive, what man wouldn't be chasing after a woman? Do you really think they've never been twenty?

But in Gary and Fabio's eyes, Henry's life was very simple! They had never heard of him having a girlfriend, never bringing a woman home for the night, and never going to bars or nightclubs.

Then, his idol was a beauty from Hollywood's Golden Age, and not content with her beautiful image on screen, he actually went and became her assistant!

In other words, in Henry's life, the people he was closest to were actually women in their sixties or seventies?

But with his silver tongue, let alone winning over women, many men also find it difficult to truly dislike him.

Tony Stark: Who said that! With that venomous mouth firing at full blast, who wouldn't want to strangle him on the spot?

Even if it's impossible to hook up with today's top Hollywood stars just by talking, can't he even do it with some girls who have good qualities?

Finally, Henry even kept a Tiger at home! Not only would thieves be afraid to break in, but normal people wouldn't dare to enter his house, let alone the homes of young women.

Old Gary even introduced her to a relative of his ex-wife, a beautiful young female college student. Even this failed to win over the man, making one wonder about his sexual orientation...

Otherwise, one might question whether he is a normal man.

So, they didn't know whether to give Charlize a push or stop her from pursuing her feelings. They could only let things take their course.
