Chapter 30 030 Easy Dating

Charlize tugged at her red dress, complaining for the fourth time about Tyra's bad idea. Charlize originally only planned to wear T-shirt 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's rude." Today Hugo chose the Pacific Railroad dining car, which 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 appear too important. With a black over-the-knee trench coat, the advantages of Charlize's long arms and legs are vividly displayed. , Although she is only seventeen years old this year, her temperament easily makes her stand out.

However, the worst thing about this suit is that it does not keep warm. Although the temperature in Los Angeles is not low, it cannot withstand the raging sea breeze after the sunset, which makes Charlize shiver several times. cost. But the problem is that Charlize doesn't know if meeting Hugo today is actually a date. If she is so grand and Hugo is jeans, it will be really embarrassing.

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

The Pacific Railroad Dining Car opened as early as 1921. It is the originator of the Los Angeles-themed restaurant. Its appearance is the dining car of a train. The dilapidated but retro appearance allows you to clearly see the history of Los Angeles. In such a restaurant, full of historical charm, she was wearing a dress, "How stupid!" Charlize complained in a low voice.

But now that she can't go back to change her clothes, Charlize can only hold her head high, gather up her courage, and walk in dignifiedly. The surprised eyes of several guests at the door made Charlize feel a little guilty. She couldn't help comforting herself in her heart, "Be confident, stick to yourself", and then stepped on her slightly vain steps and walked to the front desk, "Hugo Lancai Sturt's reserved location."

The waiter immediately showed a polite smile, "Mr. Lancaster is already waiting for you."

Charlize walked in behind the waiter. Compared with the relatively outdated exterior, the interior is full of the elegant style of the 1930s. The walls painted in light green and dark red are matched with navy blue rattan chairs. Embellished with dark green floral lampshades and chair covers, it is faintly gorgeous and yet stylish. There was elegant jazz music flowing in the restaurant, Charlize felt as if he was traveling through the golden age of Hollywood, and even the steps of high heels couldn't help but lightly beat the beat with the jazz festival, and time was lightly on the surface of the skin. slide.

In this way, Charlize's dress doesn't seem too abrupt, except that the large shoulder pads of the 80s of the trench coat are a little out of place, she seems to be completely integrated with the restaurant atmosphere.

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

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

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

Charlize raised her head and saw that there was no special emotion in Hugo's pure eyes, she just praised herself, which made the complaints in her heart disappear silently, and her smile was full of joy, "Thank you. You Tonight is different than usual, so you look... more charming."

When Charlize first saw Hugo, the biggest feeling was the sunshine. It was like the sun at eleven o'clock in the morning or three in the afternoon, bright but not hot. Today's Hugo is more gentleman and gentler. It's all sunshine, but it's more like the sunshine at 9:00 am or 5:00 pm, which makes people's heart beat faster.

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

"Although I won't tell you how much time I spent preparing in front of the full-length mirror, your affirmation really gave me a sigh of relief." Charlize also honestly said, "You know, this skirt limits me. The standard of dinner tonight." This frank remark made Hugo almost burst out laughing, although the laughter was stifled, but the full of laughter in his eyes couldn't be more obvious.

After the two finished ordering, Hugo went on to say, "There are actually two things to ask you out today. The first thing is that I got a job, an important supporting role..." Hugo Halfway through the sentence, Charlize laughed and said "Congratulations", interrupting Hugo's words, and then she went on to say, "That's why you are willing to treat yourself today?"

This made Hugo smile, "This is part of it, but I prefer to say that I want to share this joy with my friends."

"Friend." Charlize chewed on the word meaningfully, "I'm not the only friend you have in Los Angeles, right?" They only met once. Hugo shouldn't choose her even if he wanted to celebrate with his friends.

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

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

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

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

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Hugo comforted, but was refuted by Charlize's distrustful eyes, which made Hugo laugh outright, "The second thing is the point, last time that The agent called Karl Earle, do you remember?"

"Of course." Charlize answered cheerfully, and she blinked and showed a sly smile, "This is an important reason for you to leave my phone number."

Hugo spread his hands, "It seems that my charm is not enough, you only remember this business. But anyway, I want your phone number, don't I?" One sentence made Charlize suddenly helpless. Hugo continued with a smile, "It's like this, I checked the agent's information and confirmed it was correct, and I even spoke with 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, "Actually, I considered introducing you to me. His agent is also a very honest young man. However, his ability is limited now. Even if he signs you, it is estimated that it will be difficult to arrange time and resources to help you, so Karl will be a good choice."

After listening to Hugo's detailed explanation, Charlize couldn't help but nodded. No matter whether Hugo asked him to call him or not, at least Hugo's investigation of Carl was very thorough, and he gave himself some simple opinions, "Huh. , this really helped me a lot, thank you."

Looking at Charlize's slightly exaggerated smile, Hugo couldn't help but smile, he naturally wouldn't take it seriously, Charlize was just polite, but he didn't want Charlize to see Hugo's expression, but he restrained his smile and said, " I'm serious." This made Hugo look surprised, "Actually, an agent gave me a business card shortly after I came to Los Angeles."

"It's not surprising." Hugo smiled and nodded.

"Before coming to Los Angeles, I stayed in Milan and New York for a long time, and then I came to Los Angeles at the suggestion of my mother." Charlize briefly recounted in a few words, "Unfortunately, life in Los Angeles also Not so good, I couldn't even pay the rent and had to rely on my mother's handouts. I went to a bank on Hollywood Boulevard that day to cash my mother's check - for the rent, but that The cashier turned down my request, saying that this check could not be cashed, which made me very angry, so I yelled at him."

"You mean, roaring?" Hugo seemed quite surprised. Although he could feel that Charlize was a cheerful girl, roaring was not within his cognizance.

Charlize smiled and nodded, "That's the roar you understand." Hugo couldn't help raising his eyebrows and exclaimed, expressing his surprise, but Charlize was not embarrassed, but continued to say with a smile on his face "I was standing in the lobby of the bank and yelling at the teller angrily and became the focus of everyone's attention, but I really couldn't care less at that time because I needed the money to pay the rent."

Hugo was about to ask, "How was the rent settled after that?", but Charlize continued, "But unexpectedly, the person standing behind me was an agent, and he thought I had the potential to act. , handed me a business card."

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

Charlize also chuckled, "This is Hollywood." Then she let out a long sigh, "This guy named John. Crosby has offered me some job opportunities, but they're all needed. "..." Charlize didn't say it directly, but made a gesture on his chest, which made Hugo understand immediately. Simply put, it's vase work, or it's further skinning. meat work. "So, I fired him."

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

"Yes!" Charlize gave an affirmative answer, which is why she chose to seek information 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 sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, and then exhaled exaggeratedly, "I think Carl should be under a lot of pressure at this time." One sentence immediately made Charlize smile again. .
