Chapter 731 731 Star Role

Fortunately, this is a one-way street, so even if Hugo is crazy, he won't get lost, just follow the winding road all the way, but after a quarter of an hour, Hugo and Sandra came to the mountain town. door.

The mountain city is not as magnificent as imagined. The elegant wooden buildings, the use of fresh colors, and the simple interior design make the entrance of the entire restaurant look refreshing, with a sense of relaxation that is completely separated from the hustle and bustle of the city, as if on the shoulders. The heavy burdens have been unloaded.

"Good evening, welcome to Shancheng, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist standing at the door asked with a smile on his face.

Sandra naturally looked at Hugo, but Hugo paused, "Uh, sorry, no reservation, don't you have a seat now?" Since Hugo decided to come to Shancheng at the last minute, he simply Too late to make an appointment. Moreover, after Hugo came to Los Angeles, there were not many opportunities to go out to eat. He never developed the habit of making reservations, so he was a little habitually thinking that after arriving at the scene, he could just go in directly.

Facing such a situation now, Hugo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and the wheat-colored cheeks were slightly red, which made Sandra stand beside him and couldn't help laughing. The receptionist's next words obviously made Hugo even more helpless. "Sorry, our seats are full. If there is no reservation, it may take a while."

For some reason, Hugo suddenly remembered the Valentine's Day disaster he mentioned in an interview with Oprah Winfrey, every year Valentine's Day is a disaster for men, because they have to remember this. Festivals, followed by programs must be arranged. But the problem is that people all over the city are pouring out for dates at restaurants, which makes it very difficult to reserve a restaurant for Valentine's Day, and sometimes it may not be possible to book a popular restaurant a week in advance. The result will naturally lead to a chicken flying dog.

Hugo didn't know why he suddenly remembered this, but it was undeniable that a man forgot to reserve a seat on a date. It's so rude.

Hugo didn't even dare to look into Sandra's eyes at this time, although he could sense that Sandra was not angry, but she was smiling, but he still felt sorry, after all, this date was his initiative," If you wait, how long do you have to wait?"

This was not the peak period for meals. Hugo originally thought that it would not be too difficult to miss the peak period, but he forgot that this was a big city with a population of more than two million.

"About three quarters of an hour," said the receptionist with a smile on his face, but it made Hugo immediately pale, which was too bad.

Hugo took a deep breath, turned his head and thought about Sandra, and calmly became his own mistake, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, my mistake." If there is a mistake, you must admit it, and escaping is definitely not a good choice. , and this is their first date, this situation can be called the most terrible situation that no one wants to face.

Sandra didn't care too much, instead she blinked, "If you came with your sweetheart, this kind of thing wouldn't happen, right?"

Being teased like this, Hugo was directly amused, "No, if I date my sweetheart, I should choose a pizza restaurant or a pancake restaurant."

"Then I should still feel lucky, at least there is still a difference in the treatment." Sandra said with a smile.

The receptionist stood behind the reception desk, looking at her nose and her heart. She was obviously completely at a loss for the conversation between Hugo and Sandra.

After laughing, Hugo glanced at the receptionist again, then at Sandra hesitantly said, "So, due to my mistake, I think I have lost the initiative to date tonight, do you want to take over? ?"

"That's all?" Sandra leaned back, raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "I thought you would show a manly spirit."

"Are you referring to this?" Hugo clenched his fist and waved it. This action made Sandra burst into laughter, but Hugo touched his nose shyly and stood there. After thinking about it, he looked at the receptionist again, and asked in a deliberate tone, "As far as I know, every restaurant will have reserved seats, you know, reserved for VIP customers, I don't know, can we take a seat? Where's the table?"

This is some news that Hugo has heard. In Los Angeles, where there are many stars and dignitaries, there are actually many people who arrive at the restaurant without making an appointment, and there are many bigwigs among them. For example, U.S. President William Clinton came to a restaurant for dinner without making a reservation, but as a result, there was no seat, then the restaurant could not push Clinton out, or let Clinton wait at the door. In order to avoid this situation, the restaurant will have reserved seats, which must be available every day, to ensure that the restaurant will not be rude when an important person comes.

This situation is even more numerous in Hollywood. Top stars appearing in restaurants to dine, which is actually a kind of free publicity. Almost all restaurants are warmly welcomed, so they can't push the stars out, they will only greet them with enthusiasm. . Of course, the so-called "stars" are also graded, and this snobbery has left countless marks on Hollywood very clearly.

In fact, Hugo hesitated for a moment whether to report his name to see if he could get a seat, but this is really not what Hugo's character would do. Showing off one's achievements, just imagining it feels strange, so the idea just came up, and it was directly smothered by Hugo.

The receptionist still smiled and said, "Today our reserved seats are full, I'm really sorry. Or, you can leave your contact information and we'll reserve a seat for you tomorrow's dinner, what do you think? "

Although the receptionist's attitude is very polite, the subtext is actually very clear: reserved seats are for VIPs, but who are you?

The famous Hugo was not recognized, or he was not qualified enough to enter the reserved seat. If it were replaced by other reporters or entertainers, he would be surprised that his jaw would dislocate, but for Hugo, he did not feel at all. It's awkward, because he has never felt that he is a "top star", nor does he think that his profession can bring him any privileges. This is evident from Hugo's willingness to stand on the street and perform a band performance.

Sandra looked at Hugo unexpectedly. The receptionist didn't recognize Hugo in front of her. This incident made Sandra very incredible. Although she didn't plan to do anything in Hugo's name, she still did. Surprised. You know, Hugo is now the hottest figure in Hollywood. What surprised Sandra even more was that Hugo didn't mind at all. He didn't have the air or temper of a big star at all. Is this because Hugo was weak or because Hugo was broad-minded enough?

Just as Hugo and Sandra were about to leave, another person came to the entrance. She bowed to Hugo and Sandra with a smile, and then whispered something in the ear of the receptionist. , the receptionist immediately began to look up the registration book in front of him, and the woman who had just walked out looked at Hugo and Sandra.

Originally, the woman still had a polite smile on her face, but when she came into contact with Hugo's gaze, she fell into complete shock for a moment, and her whole attitude immediately became warm and friendly, "Good evening, may I ask you to come here for dinner? Is it?"

"Uh...yes, but I was told there was no seat, and due to my negligence, I didn't make a reservation, so..." Hugo scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and cast an apologetic look at Sandra again, "It seems that we can only enjoy the night view of the City of Angels and the food of the mountain city next time."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Mr. Lancaster." The woman bowed to express her apology, and then walked directly to Hugo, "Good evening, I'm Amy, the duty manager of the restaurant, in fact, we still have VIP guests. Reserved seats, if you don't mind, you are very welcome in our restaurant."

Hugo looked at Amy in front of him, before turning his head for a while, he was stunned, "Uh, you mean, there is still a place?" Then out of the corner of his eyes, he saw the receptionist standing by the side with a face immediately He stood aside in panic, gave Amy a stiff look, and immediately lowered his eyes. The politeness and alienation just now disappeared, which made Hugo a little funny.

"Yes, Jenny doesn't know much about the arrangement of VIP seats in the restaurant, so she is a little negligent." Amy said politely but enthusiastically, "May I have the honor to lead the way for you and your girlfriend?"

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but looked back at Sandra. Sandra also shrugged and said, "That's trouble."

Amy took Hugo and Sandra into the restaurant, walked along the wooden floor all the way inside, and she asked politely, "I don't know if you like the location near the garden or the location near the windowsill? "

Hugo glanced at Sandra again, and Sandra also felt Hugo's gentleman's behavior, and said with a smile, "I heard that the scenery here is very beautiful, if there is a position near the windowsill, it would be better. ."

There was no place to eat before, but now there is still a place to choose from. Hugo suddenly felt that he didn't really realize until today that the additional effect brought by the so-called spotlight life is far more than he imagined. Much, is this one of the reasons why countless ordinary people dream of becoming a star? The social status that comes with the aura of fame and fortune.

Maybe this is the particularity of this job. On the one hand, I look forward to being recognized by people, which is an affirmation of my work; on the other hand, I hope that the spotlight will really disappear sometimes, so that I can also Have privacy. Just like all things in the world, all are a combination of contradictions, but since you are already in it, there is no need to think too much, and there is no need to be too burdensome, just relax your mind.
