Chapter 215: 215

Hugo stepped down the stairs, looked around in the hall, and never saw Uma's figure. The thoughts in his mind were too chaotic and cumbersome, which made Hugo feel that he needed some fresh air, so he left. Hall, towards the garden. As long as he thinks about Tracy, Hugo feels a headache. It is difficult for an honest official to cut off housework, and the emotional entanglement makes it impossible to start.

Taking a deep breath of the fresh air outside brought some relief to Hugo's slightly swollen brain. He originally thought that he had enough knowledge and preparation for his predecessor, but now it seems that in Lancaster's twenty-five years of life, there are still many unknown things waiting for Hugo, and this All are difficulties that Hugo has to face, because now this is his life.

Hugo didn't take a few steps before he saw Joseph walking towards him, his expression was not very good. Although Hugo was also very worried at this time, he could see the stiffness on Joseph's face at a glance. After all, the two have been together almost every day for the past year, and their understanding of each other is indeed extraordinary.

"What's wrong? Did you meet Baum?" This was Hugo's only thought. Brad's agent, Martin Baum, Hugo never saw him tonight. Is Martin showing off in front of Joseph?

Joseph looked at Hugo, hesitant to say anything, and then averted his eyes, which made Hugo frown, and asked loudly, "What?"

Joseph didn't turn his head, still looked elsewhere, and shrugged, "Nothing, I didn't meet Baum, but... someone else met." Joseph didn't say who it was, which made Hugo confused. water. If it was before, Joseph would have endured it, but now that he and Hugo are friends, he has less scruples about some words, so he endured and endured, but Joseph still did not hold back, "It's Uma, Uma and Martin is having a good time talking."

Hugo didn't expect such a situation, but he was not in a hurry, "Just chat, nothing, don't think too much. Besides, there is no deep hatred between us and Martin, just competitors, as long as Uma doesn't get along with Lang. Talking, it's not a big problem." Hugo's humor made Joseph roll his eyes and look helpless.

What Hugo said is the truth. In the entertainment industry, there is not so much hatred and hatred. Even if Lang turns back to Hugo now, it is normal in the circle. Profits are the only indicator of people in an industry where interests are paramount. . However, emotionally speaking, it is still very awkward. You must know that less than ten minutes ago, Hugo realized that he had missed the opportunity of the "sugar coating trap", and it is very likely that Martin pushed Brad to win this opportunity, It's no wonder that Joseph's face is not good.

Although Hugo comforted Joseph, he still looked around for Uma's figure. It could be seen that he still cared a little. Especially considering Tracy's current relationship with Brad, and Martin is Brad's agent, and thinking about the thought storm in Hugo's mind just now, it is not difficult to understand Hugo's current mood.

In fact, it was not difficult to find Uma and Martin. The two of them were standing next to the buffet table. Uma had a bright smile on her face, and she seemed to be in a very happy mood. Martin's face was always filled with a kind smile, and his wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly, flashing a vigilant calculation light.

Hugo and Joseph walked over with steady strides. It seemed that Hugo was approaching, and Martin raised the champagne glass in his hand, "Oh, the flower guardian has arrived, then I think my mission is over. ."

Uma stepped forward and gave Hugo a big hug. The dazzling smile on his face seemed to be in a very happy mood. Hugo also cheered up, smiled, and said to Martin, "Thank you for your company. Tonight. Is everything okay?"

Martin still wore that not exaggerated smile, "Of course, with Miss Thurman's company, it is enough to make up for my regret that I can't dance." He squinted slightly and looked at Hugo, and then said meaningfully. , "I hope you have a good night too, but don't be too busy to neglect the beauty. Then I'll say goodbye first."

These words allude to the victory of the "sugar-coated trap", which makes Joseph's fists clench involuntarily. Hugo also felt aggrieved. He originally thought that the excellent results he had achieved in the past two months had won him some initiative, but in fact, in the world of Hollywood, Hugo was still just an actor who was just starting out, without any power.

After watching Martin leave, Hugo looked at Uma, and the smile in his eyes finally reappeared, "How is it, is everything okay?" Uma nodded with a smile, and Hugo was relieved. Come, "Then let's leave first. We're done, we're going to Alex's friend's party as planned."

But Uma nodded unexpectedly, and said hesitantly, "Leave now? We've only been here for half an hour, won't we stay for a while?"

Hugo chuckled, "I didn't expect it to end so soon, we don't have anything else to do here, do we? Go to Alex's now, and we can catch the climax of the party, the countdown You can spend time with friends, isn't it more comfortable than here?"

Uma was still a little hesitant, her smile weakened little by little, she bit her lower lip and said, "But, Nicole and I made an agreement to wait for the next few female partners to drink together. After the chat with Martin and I was over, I plan to go to find her. We have already agreed."

Hugo suddenly realized that although his affairs were over, Uma's affairs here didn't seem to be over, which made Hugo a little embarrassed, "But you know, we agreed with Alex first, right? Right?" Hugo frowned slightly, bit his lower lip, and thought about it carefully, "Do you and Nicole need to spend a lot of time?"

Uma nodded, and then asked tentatively, "Can't you go to Alex's place? Look, we're all here now, the atmosphere here is so good, and it's fun for everyone to celebrate New Year's Eve together. You The situation has been explained to Alex, and he will surely understand, so let's just stay here, can't we?"

Hugo looked at Uma somewhat unexpectedly, "I thought we agreed." Hugo felt that his tone was a bit aggressive. The things he had just experienced were wave after wave, and he felt that his patience index was in a straight line. Descending, so he paused, calmed himself down, and then continued, "Just like you made a pact with Nicole and the others, we made a pact with Alex first, and we must abide by the agreement with Alec After all, we and Alex are more real friends than Nicole, right?"

Uma looked at Hugo in front of her, the disappointment in her eyes was like a dark night, swallowing up the excitement and excitement that had just bloomed like fireworks. Uma didn't answer the first time, she thought about it carefully, and finally made a decision, "Well, I'll sit down with Nicole and the others, explain the situation, and then leave with you, okay?"

It's fair. Hugo nodded, "This is necessary, after all, you have promised Nicole and the others, it is appropriate to explain the situation in detail before leaving." Hugo looked at Uma's eyes and said softly, "That requires Do I go with you? After all, it was because of me that I interrupted your small party. Let me apologize to Nicole and the others. "

Uma immediately shook her head, squeezed out a smile and said, "No, no need, a group of women are sitting together, it's too embarrassing for you to go. I'll go sit down and be back soon."

Hugo thought about the same reason, and agreed. Finally, Hugo put a kiss on Uma's forehead and watched Uma turn and walk into the hall.

Hugo turned around and wanted to call Joseph to the front yard to wait, but saw Joseph's gloomy face, he thought Joseph was still depressed about the "sugar-coated trap", so he patted Joseph on the shoulder, " Forget it, don't think about it anymore. It's useless to even think about it..."

Joseph frowned and looked at Hugo, "How could she do this?" Hugo stopped and looked at Joseph, "She never asked you about the 'sugar-coated trap' from beginning to end. Now, and knowing your situation, and being so close to Martin, I feel very uncomfortable."

Hugo was stunned. He had too many things in his head just now, so he didn't take this into consideration. Now that Joseph mentioned it, Hugo's head couldn't help but stiffen, but then he shook his head and said with a smile. To, "Don't be so sensitive, she and Martin didn't say anything, it's just a social occasion. She doesn't have to take responsibility for our failures, does she?"

Joseph looked at Hugo deeply, and wanted to say a lot of words, but in the end he sighed and didn't speak. Love matters are the most sensitive. From the standpoint of a friend, if you give your own opinion and cause uncontrollable results, the friend will be very embarrassed; but if you don't give advice, you will betray your friend's friendship. After thinking about it, Joseph felt that he had expressed his thoughts, and he was indeed very depressed now. He was too sensitive to the "sugar-coated trap", and it was very likely that he would accuse anyone he saw, so he did not insist on it any longer.

"So, where are we going to wait for Uma?" Joseph asked.

Hugo suddenly let out an "ah", which made Joseph stop, "I didn't have an appointment with Uma." I was in a hurry just now, "Forget it, let's sit in the front yard, she You can see it when you come out." Then Hugo and Joseph walked towards the hall and discussed in a low voice.

"Now go to Alex's place, half an hour is enough, ha, Alex will be very happy to see us appear, should we go over and scare him, haha, and Charlize, we Sneak in and wear a mask to see if there are any scary masks..."
