Chapter 30: Easy dating

   Charlize pulled on his red dress, complaining about Tyra's bad idea for the fourth time. Charlize originally planned to wear T-shirts and jeans, which is the easiest and more comfortable, but Tyra insisted: "The first date can't be too grand, but it can't be too simple, otherwise it will be rude." Today, Hugo chose the Pacific Railway dining car for dinner. This is not a luxurious western restaurant, so Charlize finally chose this red dress.

The close-fitting tailoring can reflect the advantages of Charlize's figure, but there is no cumbersome design and it will not be too important. With a black over-the-knee trench coat, the advantages of Charlize's long legs are vividly displayed. Although she was only seventeen years old this year, the temperament of the whole person easily made her stand out.

However, the worst part of this suit is that it does not keep warm. Although the temperature in Los Angeles is not low, it can’t reach the setting sun and the sea breeze is raging. Charlize can not help but shudder several times. Costly. But the problem is that Charlize doesn't know whether today's meeting with Hugo is considered to be a date. If she is so grand and Hugo turns out to be jeans, then it is really embarrassing.

   Standing in front of the Pacific Railroad dining car, Charlize felt that Tyra’s idea was terrible.

   The Pacific Railroad dining car opened as early as 1921. It is the originator of Los Angeles-themed restaurants. The exterior is a dining car of a train. The dilapidated but retro appearance allows one to clearly see the development history of Los Angeles. Such a restaurant is full of historical charm, but she wore a dress, "Really stupid!" Charlize whispered.

But now she can’t go back and change her clothes. Charlize can only raise her head and chest up and walk in upright with the courage. The stunning eyes of people passing by made her finally regain a little self-confidence, but when she entered the restaurant, she saw The surprised eyes of several guests at the door made Charlize a little guilty. She couldn't help comforting herself from the bottom of her heart, "confidence, hold on to yourself", and then stepped on the slightly vain footsteps, and walked to the front desk, "Hugo Lankai" The location of the appointment."

  The waiter immediately smiled politely, "Mr. Lancaster is already waiting for you."

Charlize walked in behind the waiter. Compared with the relatively old appearance, the interior layout is full of the elegant style of the 1930s, with light green and dark red painted walls, and navy blue rattan chairs, sometimes Decorated with dark green floral lampshades and chair covers, it is faintly gorgeous and not out of style. There is elegant jazz music flowing in the restaurant, Charlize only feels like he is traveling in the golden age of Hollywood. slide.

   From this point of view, Charlize's dressing doesn't seem too abrupt. Except for the big shoulder pads of the 1980s in the trench coat, she looks like she is completely integrated with the atmosphere of the restaurant.

From a distance, Charlize saw Hugo stand up from his seat. Today Hugo wore a formal suit with a pearl white shirt and a dark black suit. However, Hugo did not wear a tie or bow tie. He just put the shirt on. The buttons are neatly buttoned, formal but not rigid, and there is more randomness in the rigor, which sets off Hugo's gentle temperament more and more charming, like a top-notch warm jade, under the bright yellow light of the restaurant Exudes a faint light.

   Charlize walked to the dining table. When the waiter was about to pull the chair away for her, Hugo walked over, stopped him, and pulled the chair out himself. Charlize took off his jacket and handed it to the waiter, then thanked Hugo with a smile, and then sat down.

   Hugo returned to his position, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, "You are beautiful today."

Charlize looked up and saw that there was no special emotion in Hugo's pure eyes, but simply praised herself, which made her complaints disappear silently, and her smile was full of joy, "Thank you. You." Tonight is different than usual, you look...more charming like this."

When Charlize saw Hugo for the first time, the biggest feeling was the sunshine, it was like the sun at 11 o'clock in the morning or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, bright but not hot; and today's Hugo is more gentleman and gentler, the same. It's all sunshine, but it's more like the sunshine at nine o'clock in the morning or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the warmth makes people's heart beat faster.

   "This is a good thing, at least it proves that the half an hour I spent in front of the full-length mirror was not wasted." Hugo's words made the smile of Charlize's mouth fully bloom.

"Although I won't tell you how much time I have prepared before putting on the full-length mirror, you certainly made me relieved." Charlize also honestly said, "You know, this dress restricts me. The standard of dining tonight." This frank statement made Hugo almost laugh. Although the laughter was suffocated, the full smile in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

After the two people ordered the food, Hugo went on to say, "Today I asked you out. There are actually two things. The first thing is that I got a job, an important supporting role..." Hugo said. Halfway through, Charlize smiled and said "congratulations", interrupting Hugo, and then she went on to say, "That's why you are willing to treat you today?"

   Hugo couldn’t help but smile, “This is part of it, but I’m more willing to say that I want to share this joy with my friends.”

   "Friends." Charlize chewed the vocabulary meaningfully, "I shouldn't be the only friend of yours in Los Angeles?" They only met once. Even if Hugo wants to celebrate with his friends, he shouldn't choose her.

   Hugo shrugged and said with a smile, "You know, men always need a reason."

   Such blunt words made Charlize chuckle, "I thought you didn't need it."

   Hugo raised his eyebrows, "Do you think so?"

This sentence made Charlize a little awkward, "Then I have to eat a big meal tonight." Charlize used a witty remark to resolve the shyness in the atmosphere, "Oh, damn, you should notify me in advance. Yes, this skirt is not suitable for eating and drinking."

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Hugo comforted, but Charlize retorted with a distrustful cast of eyes, which made Hugo laugh directly, "The second thing is the point. The agent named Karl Earl, do you remember?"

   "Of course." Charlize replied happily. After saying that, she blinked her eyes and showed a sly smile, "This is an important reason why you want to use my phone number."

Hugo spread his hands, "It seems that my charm is still not enough. You only remembered this official business. However, in any case, I want to get your phone number, don't you?" Charlize suddenly felt helpless. Hugo smiled and continued, "That's how it happened. I verified the information of this agent and confirmed that it was correct. I still talked to him on the phone."

"He is a good agent. If you are interested in becoming an actor, you can contact him." Hugo briefly explained Carl's information, and finally concluded, "I actually considered introducing you to me. His agent is also a very honest young man. However, his current ability is also limited. Even if he signs you, it is estimated that it will be difficult to arrange time and resources to help you, so Karl would be a good choice."

Charlize listened to Hugo’s detailed explanation and couldn’t help but nodded. Regardless of whether Hugo asked him to make a call at the beginning, whether it was true or false, at least Hugo’s investigation of Carl was very thorough, and he gave himself some simple opinions. , This really helped me a lot, thank you."

Seeing Charlize's slightly exaggerated smile, Hugo couldn't help but smile. He naturally wouldn't take it seriously. Charlize was just a polite, but he didn't want Charlize to see Hugo's expression, but he narrowed his smile and said, " I'm serious." This made Hugo an unexpected look. "In fact, soon after I came to Los Angeles, an agent gave me a business card."

   "This is not unexpected." Hugo smiled and nodded.

"Before coming to Los Angeles, I spent a long time in Milan and New York, and then I came to Los Angeles at the suggestion of my mother." Charlize said in a few words, "Unfortunately, life in Los Angeles is also It’s not quite satisfactory. I can’t even pay the rent. I can only rely on my mother’s relief. That day, I went to a bank on Hollywood Boulevard to redeem the cheque my mother gave me—for rent, but that person The teller refused my request, saying why this check could not be exchanged, which made me very angry, so I ranted at him."

   "You mean, roar?" Hugo seemed quite surprised. Although he could feel that Charlize was a girl with a hearty personality, the rant was not within his scope of recognition.

Charlize smiled and nodded, "It's the roar you understand." Hugo raised his eyebrows and exclaimed. UU reading www.uukanshu.com expressed his surprise, but Charlize was not embarrassed. Instead, he continued with a smile on his face, “I stood in the lobby of the bank and yelled at the teller angrily. It became the focus of everyone’s attention, but I really couldn’t take care of that much at that time because I needed This money pays the rent."

Hugo just wanted to ask "how the rent was resolved later", Charlize went on, "Unexpectedly, the person standing behind me is actually an agent. He thinks I have great potential for acting. , Handed me a business card."

   This time it was Hugo's turn to be shocked, and in the end he could only say "Hollywood!"

Charlize also chuckled lightly, "This is Hollywood." Then she exhaled, "This guy named John Crosby (John. Crosby) offered me some job opportunities, but it was all needed. …" Charlize did not say directly, but made a gesture on his chest, which made Hugo immediately understand. To put it simply, it is the vase work, or it is further skin. Meat work. "So, I fired him."

   Hugo nodded meaningfully, and then said, "So when Karl handed you your business card, you chose to refuse."

"Yes!" Charlize replied in the affirmative, which is why she chose to inquire about the news through Hugo after she learned that Hugo is an actor and knew something about it. "I don't want to meet again. To the second John Crosby."

Hugo looked at Charlize in front of him, wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead, and exaggeratedly exhaled, "I think Carl should be under a lot of pressure at this time." One sentence immediately made Charlize smile again. .
