Chapter 93: Luo Ni Insurance Manager Company

Aunt Salia's Italian cuisine was indeed delicious enough to conquer two major stars.

Audrey happily conversed with the other party in Italian, chatting not only about the food but also about everything under the sun. Henry acted as the translator, relaying the conversation to Catherine who did not understand Italian, and occasionally chiming in on her behalf.

By the end, even without Henry's translation, Catherine seemed able to join in the Italian exchange between Salia and Audrey, laughing when appropriate and making expressions at just the right moments.

According to Henry's observation, besides the tacit understanding between women, the body language accompanying the use of Italian was actually easier to learn than the language itself.

After watching enough, Catherine figured out the tricks of the trade and learned it without a teacher.

And as for the fixed program after the meal, of course, it was the photo session between the boss and the major stars.

This was still an era when Polaroid cameras were popular; most stars would not refuse to take a commemorative photo with a Polaroid. Because this device had no film, the difficulty of tampering with it or having ulterior motives afterwards was extremely high.

If the photo was not stored properly and was destroyed, then that photo would cease to exist forever, impossible to save or retrieve. This uniqueness made Polaroid photos even more precious.

So the two Lady He Bens each took a photo with the boss and his wife, while also leaving a message. This kind of romance belonging to Polaroids is something young people in the future digital camera era probably cannot experience.

After finishing this delicious lunch, Henry drove the two ladies toward downtown Los Angeles.

The Luo Ni Insurance Manager Company was located on a high floor of a certain commercial office building. And this office building was not a place where just anyone could walk in, press the elevator, and sit on any floor at will.

The joint reception desk and security personnel on the first-floor lobby would dutifully block anyone without qualification from entering. Anyone not belonging to the building who wanted to enter could only do so by making an appointment in advance.

The arrival of the two Lady He Bens, Catherine and Audrey, did not encounter any situation where a brat blocked the way. Because Mr. Wales Luo Ni was personally waiting in the first-floor lobby to welcome the distinguished guests who had made appointments for today.

He was an old gentleman no younger than Audrey He Ben, with a broad-shouldered, stout figure and decent attire, all revealing that he belonged to the old-school elite white-collar class.

Moreover, the two were old acquaintances, greeting each other with a cheek kiss upon meeting. Mr. Luo Ni, with a look Henry also understood, greeted Audrey with great excitement. "Lady He Ben, it is an honor to serve you again."

"Little Will, I came uninvited; you wouldn't turn me away at the door, would you?" Catherine was a step slower but also exchanged a cheek kiss with Mr. Luo Ni.

Wales Luo Ni said, "Oh, here is another Lady He Ben. I welcome both of you; how could I possibly block you at the door? And who is this?" The old gentleman noticed the young man following behind the two major stars.

Audrey introduced, "This is Henry, the assistant I newly hired."

Henry timely took a bottle of champagne tied with a red ribbon from the paper bag, handed it forward, and said, "Good day, Mr. Luo Ni. This is a gesture from the two Lady He Bens."

"Oh, this is truly too much trouble." Wales Luo Ni took the champagne, placed it back into the paper bag, and led the way for everyone. "Come, please follow me. The security team I am introducing is already waiting in my office."

With Mr. Luo Ni leading the way, the security personnel in the first-floor lobby naturally did not block the path; instead, they eagerly pressed the elevator up button for the group and held the elevator door open until everyone had entered.

As Americans doing business with high-end clients, no matter how sloppy their private living habits were, they would inevitably have a facade decorated very comfortably to receive guests.

Lady He Ben and others were welcomed into this facade reception hall. And inside, four burly men were already waiting ahead of time.

Although Audrey He Ben and Catherine He Ben were no longer in their prime, they had not moved far from the screen. Even if they were not in the full splendor of their peak years, there were still many people who recognized their current appearance.

The several white burly men were naturally very clear about the purpose of their appearance here today and knew who the objects they might be hired to protect were. So at the moment Audrey He Ben appeared, they all stood up to welcome her.

In fact, even if the employers had not appeared, it would be in keeping with gentlemanly etiquette for the men to stand up to welcome the ladies upon their entry.

Wales Luo Ni took the lead in introducing to Audrey, "Lady, these are the security team members I am introducing to you. The person in charge is Brian Mills; the others are Sam Gilo, Mark Casey, and Bernie Harris. —"

With each introduction, Audrey shook hands with the other party to express her greeting.

"—They are special forces of the United States Army, soldiers who retired from the Green Berets. They have now established their own security company, specializing in providing protection services for VIPs.

"Although it is a newly established company, I followed the trail to ask their superiors during their military service, and every single one gave them an excellent evaluation.

"Not only do they have experience of being deployed overseas more than twice, but they also all retired honorably, without any dishonorable history. If there is a drawback, it is that they do not accept long-term missions.

"However, this fits perfectly with Audrey's visit itinerary to Somalia this time. They will be responsible for your safety during your entry and exit, until you return to the civilized world."

Audrey He Ben asked in confusion, "I am just accepting the United Nations' arrangement to visit children's aid facilities there. And to make assessments, take photos, and cooperate with fundraising activities only. Is such a big fuss necessary?"

Brian Mills, in the prime of his life, had shed the immaturity of adolescence thanks to his military career. Combined with his sharply defined facial contours, especially those firm and spirited eyes, he left a deep impression on people at first sight.

Stepping forward, he spoke in a low voice, as if it came with its own echo effect, saying, "Lady, we also hope this world is peaceful and safe. But the fact is otherwise, isn't it? The insurance company recommended us; their intention is merely to ensure your safety, that is all."

A team recommended by the insurance company?

Catherine said from the side, "Little Will, I thought these young men were the ones you found?"

Wales Luo Ni explained, "Catherine, I have always stood in the customer's position to inquire with insurance companies, and then chose the one most beneficial to the customer from the conditions provided by various insurance companies.

"Today, besides the premiums being particularly affordable, Pacific Property also proactively provided a security team to ensure the smoothness of the entire itinerary. This is also the reason why these burly young men are here.

"However, their background and reputation were investigated by me personally. It is not that whatever data Pacific Property provided, I would report the same content to you. So they are indeed trustworthy; I can guarantee this point."
