120. New "Assistant"

Positano is just a small town located on the Amalfi coast in southern Italy, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one side, the unique topography of the town has gradually formed an isolated paradise atmosphere, the languid sunshine of southern Italy and the simple townspeople are a part of Positano, and even the seagulls here like to laze on the top of the sailboat, swinging with the boat swaying in the waves.

In order to perfectly restore the quiet and leisurely town of Montibello written by Tricia Highsmith, Anthony Minghella screened countless Italian towns, and even visited them himself, and finally, chose the filming location in Positano, and he even laughed that if he did not make movies in his later years, he would definitely choose to retire in this town.

Take the train from Naples to Sorrento, then take the bus from Sorrento, walk on the winding mountain path, and when you arrive at Positano, it is already in the afternoon, Theolod and Natel, who have not eaten lunch, only feel hungry, and directly find a small restaurant by the sea, and eat a seafood meal, the taste is not good, but the price is a little expensive.

There are only three ways to get to Positano, either by train to bus, by ferry, or by car, of course, each of which is quite a toss-up to walk, so in another world Theolod has only been to Positano once, and a word about this peaceful town has long been blurred in his mind, and he can't use the memories of the food in his previous life to find authentic restaurants.

"Your new assistant will be coming soon, and I've informed him to meet at this restaurant." Natel said, glancing at the time on his watch, he had made a phone call when he walked into the restaurant, presumably to a new assistant who had arrived early in Positano.

Theolod is looking out to sea in the distance, and this restaurant is in a good location, with its back to the sea, and you can smell the salty smell of the sea breeze when you open the window. Hearing Natle say this, he picked up the tiny espresso cup and said, "Then I might have to order a dessert, and this new assistant's name is Gavin Bennett, right?" ”

"That's right, he's one of my ...... Friend, if you care, we met, um, when you left North Las Vegas, and he was a reliable person, and you can rest assured. You can think of this period of filming in "The Talented Ripley" as his probationary period, if you're ...... I mean, if you're not worried or worried about me using people, I can ...... too."

"It's okay, I trust you, Nat."

"......," Theolod replied lightly, leaving Natl at a loss for how to react.

"So, does he know Italian? Isn't it a little hard to find here? ”

“…… He didn't understand before," said Nattel, who paused for a moment before answering the question, then smiled and said incredibly naturally, "but I told him that it would be more convenient to learn a few words of Italian, so there should be no problem, rest assured, he has a long mouth, and if he can't find a place, Monsieur Bennett can ask for directions." ”

If Mr. Gavin Bennett heard these words of his "boss", he would probably be frightened and crawled over, but he knew the true meaning of Nattel's phrase "he has a long mouth" - if he could not arrive on time and was lost in this situation, then there was no use in keeping his mouth......

To be honest, Gavin Bennett didn't understand why his boss didn't want so many "business, green tickets and beautiful women" in North Las Vegas, and went to work as an assistant next to a popular new star in Hollywood, and that salary was not as much as a week in North Las Vegas. Even if the new star was his old friend, Bennett couldn't understand Natle's way of repaying the favor.

Come on, that's an assistant, an assistant! Excuseme? You say that people like you go to work as assistants and servants to others? The people who want to "serve" you are already lined up for a block in North Las Vegas, okay......

Could this be the legendary cover-up? You must know that the boss is a figure who has been noticed by the FBI.

Thinking about it this way, it may make sense, maybe in the eyes of the FBI group of fools who only know how to eat donuts, his boss is just a little person who is bent on trying to reform himself, who knows that the power of North Las Vegas will completely change the sky after being served by them?

Tsk, he is worthy of being a person who uses tricks to kill the two major forces, and this forbearance is not something that anyone has, so he can come to this day. Gavin Bennett's admiration for his boss suddenly became like a surging river, and Theorod became a cover in the eyes of him and others, which also explained why their boss had been hiding the affairs of North Las Vegas from Theorod, and he did not allow his own people to contact him without permission in Theorod's presence.

After all, no one wants to become a cover for others, not to mention, the little star regards their boss as a friend, and their boss uses this friendship to cover for himself, if this matter is known by the little star, then this cover is gone, maybe in a falling out, he told the FBI, the future of the boss and them is gone.

However, Bennett didn't expect that Natle, who had previously strictly forbidden them to contact the starlet, suddenly made him the starlet's personal assistant, and when he heard the news, Bennett even began to speculate whether this was a test of the boss's loyalty to him, or whether he would be killed by the boss immediately if he did something wrong.

After repeatedly confirming that the other party really just asked him to be the star's personal assistant, and helped him "take care and pay attention" to the people around the starlet, Bennett patted his chest tremblingly and assured that even the starlet's hair grew a few millimeters every day, and he would report it to Nattle one by one.

"If he finds out...... You know the consequences. At that time, their cold and indifferent voice of "Mr. Popper" made Bennett still unforgettable, "I will give you a sum of money, go to Positano first, don't ask me when I will go, we will arrive in Naples on the eleventh, you don't want to see what awaits you when we arrive in Positano and you are still on the way." By the way, I don't want to hear complaints that he wants to walk around Italy but his assistant doesn't speak Italian and he can only look through dictionaries and tourist brochures. ”

Bennett looked at the thick wad of bills in his hand and was almost stunned. Going to Positano? Where is that? Naples? Italy? Does he still have to learn Italian? There are only two weeks until the eleventh at most, and you want him to learn another language in those two weeks? Let him, a plaything who didn't graduate from elementary school, lose his mind?

"If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

“…… No, absolutely not! Bennett immediately shook his head, if he took the other party's "welcome" as true, then he was afraid that he would die a miserable death, he was not so stupid, he could only answer categorically and leave the matter to him absolutely relieved, while tears and blood were dripping from the bottom of his heart.

Until now, when Natel called him, he was still in the dark with a quick book in Italian, and when he stumbled to Positano on the tenth by half-English and half-Italian, he almost lost half his life, and then he stayed in the hotel and worried about Italian, so you can imagine how unrelenting Bennett looked when he heard the boss tell him to rush to a restaurant he had never heard of.

Of course, Bennett knew the meaning of the phrase "it's better not to be late", so he quickly ran out of the hotel before he had time to find a place to cry, asked the receptionist at the front desk who could speak a few words of English about the location of the restaurant, and then danced and danced to the two passers-by for a long time before arriving at the destination sweating profusely.

By this time Theolod had already settled his dessert, and he was chatting with Nattel. Then, in his peripheral vision, a black-haired and sturdy man wearing a Hawaiian-style shirt appeared, and the other party rushed in in a hurry, looked around and saw Theorod and Nattel, and immediately stepped forward and apologized several times one after another, roughly meaning to apologize and feel guilty for his tardiness.

While chatting with Theolod, Natel almost put Bennett in the back of his mind. Theolod spoke slowly, softly, softly blonde through the window in the seaside breeze, his languid and leisurely squinted eyes like a cat basking in the sun, the fluff on his face that was clearly visible in the sun...... This qiē made the expression on Nattel's face soften more and more, how he wished that time could stand still in this moment, and he would not have to rush back to Naples tonight and wait for the return plane early tomorrow morning.

However, this qiē was ruined by a guy who was late for a long time and didn't know whether he was alive or dead......

At that moment, Nattel's expression changed from gentle to extreme to the other, and he glanced at Bennett with a cold face.

"Gavin Bennett?" Theolod looked at the man who was about to kneel down and kowtow to apologize, and raised an eyebrow.

"Yes, yes, that's me." Bennett replied cautiously.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Theolod raised his hand to beckon the waiter and added a chair to him: "In view of the fact that we will have more and more time to meet in the future, let's sit down and talk about it first, the weather is really hot now, did you come here?" Do you need something to drink? As he spoke, he placed a menu in front of Bennett.

Bennett looked at Theorod, and then at Natel, who was sitting opposite Theorod, and saw that his cold face was still a little impatient, so he immediately waved his hand and said to Theorod: "No, no need, I'm not hot, I'm used to it, I'm used to running and fitness, ha... Ha ha. ”

"I can see it." Theolod was referring to the other man's muscular figure, he looked at him a few more times, and felt that he was a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him, so he had to put it in his mind, and seeing that he was still standing in place, he smiled and said, "Don't be so restrained, Mr. Bennett, can I call you Gavin?" I'm not a strict and boring guy, and besides, we all seem to be from North Las Vegas? Sit down, sit down and we'll get down to business, and by the way, take a look at the menu, count me as a little benefit for my assistant, I'll insist. ”

Bennett secretly glanced at Nattel, and saw that he didn't look unusual, so he sat down and carefully opened the first side, the Italian on the menu made Bennett's eyes dim and his scalp was numb, but he couldn't let Nattel see anything unusual, so he held back for a long time before pretending to be casual, and pointed casually: "Then let's have a cup of this." ”

Theolod glanced at it, and he was referring to the baked scallops in the appetizer section, and then he realized that the other person might not know Italian or was not familiar with it, so he made such a joke. However, there was no mockery or contempt on Theorod's face, but he still maintained his initial mildness and understanding, and chuckled:

"I know that an assistant's job is tedious, that's why you're so busy that you forget to eat lunch, right? I'm sorry I forgot that, and I asked Nat to call you out to meet you, baked scallops are a good idea for an appetizer, and for atonement, let me recommend you the main course. Seafood pasta is one of Italy's specialty pasta, no matter where the seafood pasta tastes good, if you prefer cheese, you can also try the cheese baked pasta, plus a cheese serving, which goes well with it. Of course, chicken and steak are fine, but don't order this pork chop, it's my lunch entrée, and the taste is not complimentary. As for dessert, I recommend the egg pudding here......"

The more Theorod spoke, the colder Bennett felt around him, and he knew very well that if Theorod wasn't still sitting here, Natle would have thrown him straight out of the window into the sea to feed the sharks. In such a situation, how could Nit really order according to Theorod's recommendation? He could only shirk and say that he was on a diet, really, not eating too much.

In the end, Theorod could only sigh and put the matter aside. But he did ask the waiter to serve him a baked scallop and a glass of white wine.

At the moment of seeing the baked scallops, Bennett deeply felt that his deadline had arrived, just like these scallops.

Fortunately, in the end, his boss did not throw him into the sea to feed the fish, nor did he fork him into a pot to turn him into a "baked Gavin Bennett", and in fact, that night, he left Positano. And the boss who stayed by the star's side for a few hours almost scared Bennett into thinking that Nattle was possessed by something unclean.

Who is the guy who can buy him a bottle of water back with that little starlet frowning? Who is that starlet who wagged his tail when he smiled at him? Who is the guy who quickly drove passers-by away with his eyes and aura as soon as he set his eyes on the little star? Bennett, who followed the two of them around Positano, was in a trance, not knowing who he was, where he was, and whether he was dreaming.

However, the eldest of his family quickly dragged him out of his trance. When Nattle said goodbye to the starlet, he looked at Bennett with a look in his eyes, which made Bennett so frightened that he didn't sleep well all night.
