New Job Confirmed

"This truly surprises me," Audrey said, expressing her astonishment without reservation. She then turned to her older sister beside her and said, "Catherine, is this the surprise you promised me?"

Catherine is a native-born United States, so besides English, she only knows a little French, and she doesn't speak it very fluently.

In contrast, Audrey was United Kingdom born in Belgium, with a family background in Netherlands aristocracy. She could speak several major Europe languages as if they were her native tongue.

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

Catherine hadn't expected Henry to pull this stunt, but it didn't surprise her too much either. Tony Stark's sharp tongue continued to lash out at Henry as always, but Tony never called him an idiot, which spoke volumes.

So Catherine shook her head and said, "The surprise I was talking about isn't that. The reason I recommended this boy as your driver is because of one of his talents."

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

Catherine continued, "Little Henry isn't afraid of bullets."

"Not afraid of bullets?" Audrey paused, then asked, "The kind of person I'm thinking who isn't afraid of bullets?"

"It should be the kind that's not afraid of bullets, just like you're thinking of." Catherine even pointed her finger at her head and made a firing motion. Then, looking at her right hand, which was shaped like a gun, she shook her head dismissively.

Audrey Hepburn was truly taken aback this time.

People with special talents are not particularly rare in this world. And for some unknown reason, this world is quite tolerant of Mutants with special talents.

Therefore, Audrey Hepburn would not feel disgusted or uncomfortable because the other person had special talents.

She was simply curious, so she asked, "Henry, What If...? you have such talent, I think you could easily find a better job. I can't afford that kind of pay."

"Yes, ladies," Henry said with a hint of exasperation, "But think about it carefully, what kind of people would be willing to pay a fortune to hire me to take a bullet for them?"

Are they good people? Probably mostly bad people.

Audrey and Catherine both understood this at the same time. Their age had long proven that they were not naive and sheltered children; they hadn't seen all the dark side of society, but they were not completely ignorant of it either.

Henry stated frankly, "I haven't thought about making a lot of money with this talent, or even if I don't need it. What I value is being able to work for Ms. Hepburn."

"As for compensation, just treat me like a regular driver or assistant. I'd even be willing to pay out of my own pocket for this job. So, ma'am, how much do you think I should pay to get the opportunity to serve you?"

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

"Of course, the opportunity to serve beautiful ladies isn't something everyone gets to encounter. On the contrary, there are wicked people everywhere, people who do all sorts of bad things and are so despicable that you'd want to shoot them. If I wanted to earn that kind of money, I'd have to feed my conscience to the dogs first."

"Yes, Audrey, keep this good boy with you. Your health is worse than mine, which is twenty years older than you, and you like to travel around. Without a suitable person to take good care of you, how much time do you think we have left together?"

Catherine provided a timely assist, preventing Audrey Hepburn from having the same dilemma as Tony Stark before her: why Henry, with his talent, didn't use it to help more people.

Furthermore, the constant travel did indeed have some impact on Audrey's health.

She let go of the elderly person who had always been by her side, not only because Anton himself was unable to handle such work, but also because Audrey felt that Anton was becoming overwhelmed. Therefore, she needed new blood to join the team in order to better help her carry out her charity work.

In the end, Audrey Hepburn relented. She said, "Alright, Henry, welcome. For a retired star like you, I hope you won't mind the salary I can offer."

"Of course not, ma'am."

"Just call me Audrey. Otherwise, you just call me by my first name, Catherine, but only 'Ms. Hepburn,' and that makes me jealous."

Is using a jealous tone to act coquettishly a woman's innate skill? Henry admits he can't resist it; even Kryptonian would break down.

"Okay, Audrey," Henry said quietly as he drove, "Actually, I have one more small wish."

"Oh, please go ahead."

Henry said, "Actually, it would be wonderful to get a photo of you signed by yourself. I've searched all over Hollywood, but I can't find photos of the two of you in gift shops, or even at auction houses."

Catherine, true to her sharp tongue, remarked self-deprecatingly, "Who wants a picture of a washed-up old woman? So it's perfectly normal that you can't find it, isn't it?"

"Isn't it because the two people who own the autographed photos cherish them so much that they haven't been seen on the market?"

"Oh my God, Catherine, what's wrong with this child?" Audrey asked, pulling on her older sister's arm and patting her chest.

"Alright, I have to admit, the person the Stark Family men recommended seems to be just like those two, not very reliable. Perhaps you should reconsider your assistant."

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

"It really does taste familiar." The two older women, as if on the World War I, looked at the man in the driver's seat with wary eyes, then laughed to themselves.

Henry looked embarrassed and quickly changed the subject, saying, "So, are we going to the insurance agent's place now?"

"No, we arranged to meet in the afternoon. It's almost noon now, so maybe we should find somewhere to have lunch. Any recommendations? I've been on a plane all night, and breakfast was just a cup of coffee and a slice of toast. I'm starving," Audrey said.

"Hmm, how about Italy food?" Henry suggested. "It's a family-run restaurant run by an Italy couple. I can't say if it's authentic, because I've never eaten in Italy myself. But it's really delicious. Or do you have a restaurant you'd like to go to?"

The two elderly women exchanged a glance. Audrey said with great interest, "No, let's go to this Italy restaurant. Let's see if their Italian cuisine is authentic enough."

Catherine added, "Yes, I'm so tired of all these people treating me like an old lady. They're always saying I can't eat this, I can't eat that."

Henry, who hadn't considered this for a moment, looked embarrassed and wanted to back out. But seeing the two big stars already enthusiastically discussing Italy food, he still took them to Aunt Salia's restaurant.

For older adults, maintaining a cheerful mood is more important than avoiding certain foods.
