Hugo walked down the stairs and looked around the hall, but he never saw Uma, and his mind was too chaotic and cumbersome, so that Hugo felt that he needed some fresh air, so he left the hall and walked to the 'flower' garden. As long as he recalls Tracy's incident, Hugo feels a headache, it is difficult for a clean official to cut off family affairs, and the emotional entanglement is even more difficult to start.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air outside, Hugo's slightly swollen brain got some relief. Originally, he thought that he had enough knowledge and preparation for the things of 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 all these are the difficulties that Hugo must face, because now this is his life.

Hugo hadn't taken a few steps before he saw Joseph approaching him, his expression not very good. Although Hugo was also preoccupied at this time, he could also see the stiffness of Joseph's face at a glance, after all, the two of them had been together almost every day in the past year, and their understanding of each other was indeed extraordinary.

"What's wrong? Did you meet Baum?" This is Hugo's only thought, Brad's agent Martin Baum, Hugo never saw it tonight, could it be that Martin showed off in front of Joseph?

Joseph looked at Hugo, stopped talking, and then avoided his eyes, which made Hugo frown, and asked in a loud voice, "What?"

Joseph didn't turn his head, still looking elsewhere, and shrugged his shoulders, "Nothing, it's not that I met Baum, it's ...... Others have met. Joseph didn't say who it was, much to Hugo's confusion. If it was before, Joseph would have endured it, but now that he and Hugo are friends, he has a lot less scruples about some words, so he endured and endured, but Joseph still couldn't hold back, "It's Uma, Uma and Martin are talking happily now." ”

Hugo didn't expect such a situation, but he didn't rush either, "Just chatting, nothing, don't think too much." Besides, we don't have a deep hatred with Martin, we're just competitors, and as long as Uma doesn't talk to Lang, 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 are not so many deep hatreds, even if Lang looks back to Hugo now, it is normal in the circle, and the only indicator of people in an industry where interests are paramount can bring profits. It's just that, emotionally speaking, it's still very awkward, you know, less than ten minutes ago, Hugo knew that he missed the opportunity of the "sugar-coated trap", and it is very likely that Martin pushed Brad to win this opportunity, and it is no wonder that Joseph's face will be bad.

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

In fact, it was not difficult to find Uma and Martin, the two of them were standing next to the buffet table, and Uma had a bright smile on her face and seemed to be in a very happy mood. Martin also had a friendly smile on his face throughout, his wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a wary scheming light.

Hugo and Joseph walked over with steady strides, and when Hugo approached, Martin raised his champagne glass, "Oh, the messenger of the 'flowers' has arrived, then I think my mission has come to an end." ”

Uma stepped forward and gave Hugo a big hug, the dazzling smile on his face seemed to be very happy, Hugo also cheered up, "revealed" a smile, and said to Martin, "Thank you for your company." Are you still having a good night?"

Martin still had that not exaggerated smile, "Of course, having Miss Thurman by me makes up for my regret that I can't dance." He squinted his eyes slightly at Hugo, and then said meaningfully, "I hope you have a good evening too, but don't be too busy to neglect the beautiful woman." Then I'll take my leave. ”

These words hinted at the victory of the "sugar-coated trap", which made Joseph's fists clench. Hugo also felt aggrieved, originally thought that the excellent results achieved in the past two months had won him some initiative, but in fact, in the world of Hollywood, Hugo was still just a fledgling actor and had no power.

After seeing Martin leave, Hugo looked at Uma, and the smile in his eyes finally reappeared, "How is it, is it okay?" Uma smiled and nodded, and Hugo was relieved, "Then let's leave first." The matter was done, and we still went to Alex's friend's pie as planned. ”

But Uma nodded unexpectedly, and said with some hesitation, "Do you want to leave now?" We've only been here for half an hour, why don't we stay a little longer?"

Hugo chuckled, "I didn't expect it to end so soon, and we wouldn't have anything else to do here, did I?" Now rush to Alex's place, you can also catch up with the high 'tide' of Pai Duì, and you can also be with friends during the countdown, isn't it much more comfortable than here?"

Uma was still a little hesitant, her smile weakened little by little, and she bit her lower lip and said, "However, I have made an agreement with Nicole that I will go to find her after a few 'female' companions have a drink together, and after I finish chatting with Martin." We've all agreed. ”

Hugo suddenly realized that although his business was over, Uma's business here did not seem to be over, which made Hugo a little embarrassed, "But you know, we agreed with Alex first, right?" Hugo frowned slightly, biting his lower 'lip', and then thought about it carefully, "Do you and Nicole need to 'spend' a lot of time?"

Uma nodded, then asked tentatively, "Can't you go over to Alex?" You see, we're all here now, and the atmosphere here is so good, and it's fun for everyone to celebrate New Year's Eve together. You've already explained the situation to Alex, and he'll understand, so we'll stay here, can't you?"

Hugo looked at Uma with some surprise, "I thought we had agreed." Hugo felt that his tone was a little rushed, and he felt that his patience was plummeting, so he paused to calm himself down, and then continued, "Just like you and Nicole agreed, we agreed with Alex first, and we must keep our promise to Alex, after all, compared to Nicole, we and Alex are real friends, right?"

Uma looked at Hugo in front of her, and the disappointment in her eyes was like the dark night 'color', swallowing up the excitement and excitement that had just bloomed like fireworks. Uma didn't answer immediately, but pondered for a while, and finally made a decision, "Okay, I'll go sit with Nicole and them, explain the situation, and then leave with you, okay?"

That's fair. Hugo nodded, "This is a must, after all, you also promised Nicole and them, it is appropriate to explain the situation in detail before leaving." Hugo looked into Uma's eyes and said softly, "Do you need me to go with you?" After all, it's all because of me that I interrupted your little party, so I'll go and apologize to Nicole. ”

Uma immediately shook her head, squeezed out a smile and said, "No, no need, a group of 'female' people are sitting together, you used to be too embarrassed. I went to sit down and was back soon. ”

Hugo thought about it and agreed. Finally, Hugo imprinted a 'kiss' on Uma's forehead, and watched Uma turn and walk towards the hall.

Hugo turned around and wanted to call Joseph to go to the front yard to wait together, but when he saw Joseph's 'gloomy' face, he thought that 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 think about it again......"

Joseph looked at Hugo with a frown, "How can she do this?" Hugo stopped and looked at Joseph, "She never asked you what happened to the 'sugar-coated trap', and I feel very uncomfortable knowing your situation and being so close to Martin." ”

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

Joseph looked deeply at Hugo, and was full of words to say, but in the end he turned into a sigh and did not speak. Love is the most sensitive, standing in the position of a friend, giving his own opinion but causing uncontrollable results, then the friend is very embarrassed; But if you don't give advice, you live up to the friendship of your friends. 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 matter of the "sugar-coated trap", and it was very likely that he would blame whoever 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 to meet at a place. "Forget it, let's go sit in the front yard and she can see it when she comes out." Then Hugo and Joseph walked in the direction of the hall and discussed in a low voice.

"Now go to Alex's place, half an hour is enough, ha, Alex will definitely be happy when he sees us appear, should we go over and scare him, haha, and Charlize, let's sneak in, and then put on the mask and see if there are any scary masks......"
