Chapter 74 074 In the Name of a Friend
"Shared rent?" Hugo still couldn't believe it, he looked at Charlize again for confirmation, this was really strange.
Hugo first had a romantic night with Charlize, and then misunderstood because of his withdrawal reaction, but he clearly explained it clearly, but then he cut off contact with Charlize. He tried so many times before and nothing. To be able to speak to Charlize again. In the end, when they met again, it was Charlize who was going to move in and share a lease with him? And after witnessing the scene of Uma leaving his room, this, is this really too abnormal?
Charlize looked at Hugo's doubtful eyes. At this time, he could see vague expectations in those clear amber eyes. Charlize forced the mixed emotions in his heart to be chopped up and suppressed. "Yeah, is there any inconvenience? Your house is open for shared rental, it is normal for anyone to live in. What's more, we are friends and living together is better than a stranger who doesn't know moving in. come in!"
Friends... Hugo heard Charlize's indifferent definition, and his expression couldn't help but stagnate.
"As a girl, I don't dislike sharing a room with two boys. Do you have any other opinions?" Charlize had fully recovered by now. She walked to the middle of the living room and looked at the decoration and furnishings of the room. , "Even if you want to protest, it should be me protesting, right? Living under the same roof with two boys, it should be me who is the most inconvenient."
Charlize got the point right at once, leaving Hugo speechless, "But didn't you share a lease with Terra before?"
"Do you remember Terra?" Charlize was somewhat surprised. "She went to Paris, and I had to move."
Hugo stood there, looking at Charlize who was looking at the house freely, but did not speak. At this time, Charlize was so relaxed, there was no tension, no panic, no anxiety, no embarrassment, everything was so normal, as if nothing had happened before.
Hugo recalled the past two months. He first explained the situation to Charlize as frankly as possible through Terra, but since then, Charlize has cut off all communication. Hugo originally thought that there was some misunderstanding, Charlize was angry, so he refused to answer the phone. But judging from Charlize's performance today, she didn't care about that night at all. Hugo thought they had a good impression of each other before, but now it doesn't seem to be the case, it's just Hugo's own wishful thinking.
Now, Charlize can safely consider himself a friend, but what about himself? Hugo asked himself. He has no way to refuse, maybe there is no way to water the good feelings into the buds, now all good feelings have been smothered, but at least they can still become friends, their previous conversations have always been very pleasant, whether it is the first embarrassment, Or the second dinner, it's the same. Then, perhaps a relationship of friends is the best fit.
Hugo took a deep breath and took Charlize's words, "Going to Paris? What the hell is going on? Why did you get together with Karl again, Karl, you didn't tell me yesterday that you were so quick We found a tenant for another room."
At this point, after Hugo calmed down, he realized that he didn't have a clue at all in the chaos this morning. There were really too many question marks. Aware of Charlize's consciously dodging eyes, Hugo realized that he hadn't put on a shirt yet, and hurriedly walked into the room, put on a T-shirt, and then came out again, helping Carl to put Charlize's luggage together. Move to the room to the left of the restaurant.
That's what happened.
Not long ago, Tyra was depressed after returning from New York Fashion Week, and she realized that it would not be easy for her to make a breakthrough in the American modeling world, no matter her looks or her skin color. But Tera has always been reluctant to give up. She firmly believes that she can become a top model, so Tera decided to go to Paris after thinking twice.
As the fashion capital of the world, the tolerance and perfection of the Paris modelling industry are one level higher than that of New York and Los Angeles. There are far more opportunities for black people there than in the United States. Tyra may really be able to go to Paris. It may be possible to open up a day.
Charlize's experience also touched Charlize. She also understood from her recent experience at New York Fashion Week that the hard work of the modeling industry is far more profound than she understands, and when most models get the opportunity to change careers, They will never give up, which also makes Charlize understand how precious the second invitation from Karl Earl is.
After returning to Los Angeles, Charlize took the initiative to contact Karl and expressed his willingness to sign. Overjoyed, Karl signed Charlize to his own at the fastest speed, lest Charlize be regretted if he moved a little slower.
After signing Charlize, Karl also has no time to arrange actor-related training for Charlize, because he himself is now at a crossroads. It was not easy for Carl to get the help of Joseph, and they moved in together and shared the lease. After Carl settled his own affairs, he knew that Charlize was also facing a dilemma that he needed a new place to live.
In addition to Alex and Hugo, there is an empty room on the third floor, which is convenient for Carl. Whether it was the nearest care or rent sharing, including the issue of co-rental roommates, Carl couldn't find a better choice, so he discussed with the landlord and quickly made a decision.
This matter was confirmed the day before yesterday, but Carl had always forgotten to tell Hugo, and even the matter of signing Charlize was too busy to tell Joseph until now. This is what created today's Oolong.
After hearing the ins and outs, Hugo had to sigh that the first encounter between him and Charlize and today's re-encounter were full of countless surprises, which caught people off guard.
"Charlize, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that Hugo lives here, do you mind?" Although Carl mentioned Charlize twice with Hugo before, the information he learned showed that Hugo and Charlize also It's just an acquaintance, not a friend at all. So Carl didn't remember to tell Charlize about it, and naturally he didn't tell Hugo.
Charlize glanced at Hugo, and their eyes met, but they both shifted awkwardly, "It doesn't matter. You told me that both roommates are men, so I have already done it. Be mentally prepared." In fact, although it is a shared rental, he also has an independent space, just a shared bathroom. This kind of accommodation is very common in Los Angeles, and it is not a problem for Charlize. As for Hugo, there should be no special meaning.
Hugo then remembered, "Where are Alex and Joseph?" After he got up this morning, neither of them saw him.
"Joseph went to the company. I don't know if the audition came out." Carl knew this. "Alex, I don't know. I got up early in the morning and went to help Charlize move."
"Audition?" Now that he has decided to be friends with Hugo, and the two will live under the same roof in the future, Charlize doesn't want to be so awkward all the time, so he asks, "You participated in the audition again?"
"Yes." Hugo raised his head and looked at Charlize, seeing the clear and magnanimous look in Charlize's eyes, he didn't dodge any longer, and looked over with a smile, "But the competitor is Tom - Cruise, it's not that easy."
"Who?" Charlize's words made Hugo and Carl look at each other, and then burst into violent laughter. The famous Tom Cruise will also be defeated in front of Charlize, who has limited interest in movies. Charlize also realized that he must have made a mistake, looking at Hugo's bright smile, he couldn't help laughing, "Even if he is famous, it does not mean that everyone on this planet should know him."
"That is, that is." Karl said again and again, looking very bright. His terrible career has finally picked up recently. Naturally, people are in good spirits at happy events. "Charlize, if you have a choice, who do you want to star in this movie?"
"Are you talking about the movie I invested in?" Charlize didn't know anything about the so-called audition. Naturally, he didn't know much about the situation. "If it were me, of course I would choose Hugo." The neat answer made Hugo smile. Some more blooms, "Hugo is standing in front of me, I don't choose him, it's embarrassing."
The smile on Hugo's face suddenly stiffened, and Charlize played a trick. And Karl laughed even more schadenfreudely, taunting Hugo, "If Tom is here, she probably won't choose you." After that, Karl walked briskly and left the room to move the last box. .
Hugo glanced at Carl's back, then turned to look at Charlize. The two of them didn't speak for the first time, and they seemed a little silent. This was also the first time that the two of them had been together alone since today. cautious. In the end, Hugo summoned the courage and stretched out his right hand, "You are welcome to share our rent pressure. Next, please bear with me. The living environment of the two men is expected to be very stressful."
Charlize looked at Hugo's slender fingers. The vigorous and powerful knuckles had a suffocating beauty in the sunlight. She withdrew her eyes, held Hugo's palm, and showed a bold smile, "Don't underestimate it. The ability of a woman, maybe it's you who will be the pressure. Besides, I'm also half a man, don't you know?"
Charlize's ridicule immediately made Hugo burst into laughter, "I hope I never learn the facts of this part, otherwise I will worry about my personal safety."
Facing Hugo's words, Charlize didn't speak anymore, but walked aside with a smile, and under Hugo's gaze, he directly picked up the huge box. Can you imagine such a picture? Charlize, who looked slender and well-proportioned, actually burst out with a strange force, and picked up a huge box without any effort. This really surprised Hugo: it really was half a man.
"You know what?" Hugo said, dumbfounded. "You look like King Kong playing dice."
... "Hugo Lancaster!"
