Chapter 1044: 1044

The time of 1994 slipped through my fingers like an hourglass, and 1995 was already in sight after Christmas.

This time, the New Year’s Eve seems to be missing something. Endeavour Elite Brokerage Company has only been established for less than a year. The company is not large, and the entire system is not yet complete, so there is no year-end luncheon. Just had a party. Therefore, Hugo did not attend such social occasions as he usually did in the previous two years. Instead, he was free and could take a good rest.

In fact, Hugo has been resting since "before sunrise", and has been resting for more than three months. But compared with the busy nine months before 1994, the three months of leisure are not uncommon.

Charlize stood by the dining table and was sorting out the things he just bought from the supermarket, and asked casually, "So, how is Christmas? Is everything okay with Adam?" This Christmas, Hugo finally returned to Lanches. Now, Hugo and Adam, father and son, spend this annual festival together.

Hugo was sorting out the messy newspapers and videotapes in the hall, and sighed, "Huh, a disaster." This sentence made Charlize laugh, "He and I are just staring at each other. It's... terrifying, but the Taylors rescued us. You never know how happy I was when Molly showed up," said Hugo, standing up straight. Charlize turned his head and looked over, "and my dad's expression was more like the arrival of the savior."

"Hahahaha..." Charlize was immediately amused by Hugo's exaggerated tone, and his hearty laughter broke out completely.

Although Hugo and Adam have already opened their hearts, and even experienced the provocative incident of Mr. Bond that has not yet ended, the relationship between the two is still full of embarrassment. The most important thing is that the two men are not very clear about how to deal with each other. Get along, which makes it a disaster for two people to get along alone.

"But, you know, his health is really bad. I think he is still smoking secretly, and his cough is getting worse." Hugo said with a deep tone and worried, which made the atmosphere in the hall calm down. Slowly settled down.

Charlize understands Hugo's feelings very well, "Time always likes to leave something on us, doesn't it? Maybe, you should force him to go to the hospital for a check-up." Charlize is also for her mother Jerda So, always worried about her body.

"I also have this plan..." Halfway through the sentence, there was a knock at the door. Hugo and Charlize looked at the door together, and then their eyes collided again. Hugo asked with a chuckle, "Guess it's Mr. Perfect or Cameron?"

"You'll find out if you open the door." Charlize was obviously not interested in this topic.

Today, Charlize and Stewart, Hugo and Cameron have a two-by-two date, which is Cameron's proposal. Because Cameron and Alex were fairly familiar, but had been in relatively little contact with Charlize, she actively hoped to get to know more of Hugo's friends—and roommates. This proposal made Hugo feel helpless, but Charlize didn't care, but when Charlize mentioned it to Mr. Perfect, he got a warm response from Mr. Perfect.

So, these two appointments proceeded logically.

Hugo walked towards the door, but he couldn't help but pause, "Hey, what's the name of Mr. Perfect?"

"Stuart Townsend!" Charlize said both angrily and hilariously, not forgetting to give Hugo a big roll of eyes. The two of them are used to calling "Mr. Perfect". Hugo, who has no memory of names I can't remember Mr. Perfect's name.

Hugo, however, put his middle finger to his mouth and signaled "Shh" so that no one at the door could hear him. Then he hurried over to open the door, and saw Stuart standing at the door, with a white shirt and navy blue. Suits and shirts don't have the top button buttoned, formal yet casual, and long hair that goes past the ears doesn't look too feminine, on the contrary, it adds a dashing elegance.

"Good evening, Hugo." Stewart smiled politely.

Hugo's eyes widened, showing a kind smile, "Good evening... Stuart." Hugo almost forgot his name again, but fortunately covered it up.

"Please call me Stu." Stuart's elegant demeanor is different from Hugo's gentleman. Relatively speaking, Hugo is more lively and sunny, and Hugo's smile is one of his biggest characteristics; but Stuart is very Introverted, and even a little shy, there was too much and too much mixed information hidden in those eyes that were still wanting to talk, but the mysterious aura on him was diametrically opposite to that of Hugo.

Then Stewart handed Hugo the red wine in his hand, "The first official visit, I heard from Sally that you like coffee, but I didn't do much research on coffee, so I chose red wine, hoping it wouldn't be too disappointing."

"I would never say that I look forward to seeing beer more." Hugo took the wine and said cheerfully, but one sentence made Stuart chuckle, "Come in, welcome. Hey, Charlize , your man is here!"

Hugo's teasing half a sentence later made Stuart a little cautious, and Charlize in the restaurant said without looking back, "What about your woman? Are you late?" Touch your nose. "Stu, sit down with Hugo in the hall first, you are a little early, and we haven't started preparing yet."

In fact, Hugo and Stuart met twice before this, but today's occasion is relatively more formal, so both of them seem a little reserved. After hearing Charlize's explanation, Hugo, as the master, could only take the initiative to be more enthusiastic.

"So, how is the road today? Is everything okay?" Hugo actually felt quite troubled, because he was the owner of the house, but so was Charlize, so he couldn't treat him like a real owner entertaining guests Stewart, and it's a two-and-two date today - something Hugo has never tried, so it leaves Hugo a little bit at a loss as to how to cut to the chase.

This is also the reason why Hugo expressed helplessness when he heard about Cameron's proposal of dating in pairs. This situation is really not what Hugo is used to.

"There was some blockage on Monica Avenue. I heard that an underage child was driving on the road, but was stopped and caused a traffic jam." Stewart is not a talkative person, but he actively agreed at the beginning. This invitation is to officially get to know Hugo, so naturally he will not do nothing today.

"Underage? Wow, kids these days are really bold." Hugo and Stuart sat down on the sofa looking for a seat, but the two of them were far apart, enough to fit a large group of people in between, " You know, when I went to Burbank not long ago, I was surprised to meet a fifteen-year-old paparazzi who still looked pimple-faced and green when he admitted he was a paparazzi when I was terrified."

Stewart looked at the Hugo in front of him seriously. It wasn't that he didn't know Hugo. On the contrary, Hugo was everywhere in Los Angeles. Hugo's face almost became the representative face of Hollywood. But at this time, Stewart was confirming Hugo, Hugo, who was Charlize's best friend, and this was the biggest reason why Stewart agreed to a couple of dates today.

"Are you serious, not joking?" Stewart tried to respond to Hugo's words, although he was still a little reserved.

Stewart knew that Hugo was a part of Charlize's life, and the friendship between the two was very special. They were not only roommates, but also friends who studied acting together, and even exchanged many trivial matters in life. This can be heard from Charlize's conversation. In Charlize's dialogue, Hugo popped up almost every now and then, not because Charlize did it on purpose, but because Hugo was included in Charlize's life.

So, Stewart wanted to understand Hugo, Hugo who was Charlize's friend, and he didn't want to fight an unprepared battle.

Hugo didn't think as much as Stewart, he nodded vigorously, "Yes, I was too curious, and even asked his name, it's... er... I can't remember it now, but trust me, in the future Don't be surprised to see an underage kid chasing an artist around with a retro camera on his back."

"It's still a long way off to me," Stewart said with a chuckle. Stewart also came to Hollywood with his dream of being an actor, but he hasn't gotten a chance yet and is still struggling in the endless loop of auditions.

Actually this is very subtle. Charlize was still a nobody before, so there was nothing wrong with their relationship. But now, Charlize has collaborated with Hugo on "Before the Sunrise". Everyone knows that Hugo is the hottest existence in Hollywood right now. Maybe after the movie is released, Charlize will be successful. Then the relationship between Charlize and Stewart will no longer be equal.

This is a bad situation for any man. Perhaps, this is one of the reasons Stewart wants to know more about Hugo in his heart.

Hugo noticed the strangeness in the smile at the corner of Stuart's mouth, and he probably understood it when he turned his head. But after speaking, the two fell silent, just looked at each other awkwardly and didn't speak. This silence almost consumed all the oxygen, making people feel that the temperature in the hall was soaring.

Hugo coughed lightly, but still said bravely, "I heard from Charlize that you also participated in an audition not long ago, how was the result?"

"Oh, right..." Stuart finally relaxed a little bit when he mentioned this matter. The chatterbox seemed to be about to open, but before he had time to speak, he was interrupted by a knock on the door. Hugo showed an apologetic smile. , then stood up and shouted to Charlize, who was still busy in the restaurant, "Look, our preparations are late, Cameron is coming too."

"Hey, I didn't delay in the supermarket, you should blame the woman who took twenty minutes to check out!" Charlize retorted without showing weakness at all.

Stewart watched the conversation between Hugo and Charlize, then moved his gaze to the gate. Hugo opened the door and saw Cameron in a mint blue dress, "You're here!"
