Charlize tugged at the red dress on her body, complaining for the fourth time about Tyra's terrible idea. Charlize was originally going to wear a T-shirt and jeans to be 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." In addition, Hugo's choice of dinner venue today was the Pacific Railway dining car, which is not a luxurious Western restaurant, so Charlize finally chose this red dress.

The close-fitting cut can reflect the advantages of Charlize's figure, but there is no cumbersome design and it will not be too important, and with a black over-the-knee trench coat, Charlize's long hands and legs are vividly displayed, although she is only seventeen years old this year, but the whole person's temperament easily makes her stand out.

It's just that the worst thing about this outfit is that it doesn't keep warm, although the temperature in Los Angeles is not low, but it can't withstand the sea breeze raging after the sunset, which makes Charlize shiver several times, and sure enough, beauty comes at a price. But the problem is that Charlize doesn't know if today's meeting with Hugo is a date or not, if she is so grand, Hugo is jeans, then it is called a real embarrassment.

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

Opened in 1921, the Pacific Railroad Dining Car is the originator of the Los Angeles-themed restaurant, which looks like a train dining car and has a shabby but retro exterior that gives a clear glimpse into the history of Los Angeles. Such a restaurant, full of historical charm, but she wore a dress, "What a stupidity! Charlize grumbled under his breath.

But now she can't go back to change her clothes, Charlize can only raise her head and chest, muster up the courage to walk in with dignity, the amazing eyes of the people passing by around her made her finally regain a little confidence, but when she entered the restaurant, seeing the surprised eyes of several guests at the door, Charlize suddenly felt a little weak, she couldn't help but comfort herself in her heart, "Confidence, stick to yourself", and then stepped on the slightly vain footsteps and walked to the front desk, "Hugo Lancaster's reserved position." ”

The waiter immediately smiled politely, "Mr. Lancaster is already waiting for you." ”

Charlize walked in behind the waiter, and compared to the relatively old exterior, the interior was decorated in the elegant style of the thirties, with light green and dark red painted walls, navy blue rattan chairs, and occasionally decorated with dark green floral lampshades and chair covers, which were faintly gorgeous and stylish. The elegant jazz music flowed through the restaurant, and Charlize only felt as if he had traveled through the golden age of Hollywood, and even the footsteps of his high heels could not help but lighten up, and time gently slipped on the surface of his skin with the rhythm of jazz music.

Charlize wasn't too abrupt in her outfit, and apart from the trench coat and the big 80s shoulder pads, she looked like she was completely in tune with the atmosphere of the restaurant.

From afar, Charlize saw Hugo stand up from his seat, today Hugo wore a formal suit, a pearl white shirt with a dark black suit, but Hugo did not wear a tie or bow tie, but just buttoned the shirt neatly, formal but not rigid, rigorous and a little more casual, which set off Hugo's gentle temperament more and more charming, like a piece of top warm jade, emitting a faint light under the bright yellow light of the restaurant.

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

Hugo returned to his place 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 affection in Hugo's pure eyes, just simply praising herself, which made the complaint in her heart disappear silently, and her smile was full of joy, "Thank you." You're not the same tonight as usual, so you look ...... Even more fascinating. ”

When Charlize first saw Hugo, his biggest feeling was the sun, which was like the sun at 11 a.m. or 3 p.m., brilliant but not hot; And today's Hugo is more gentlemanly and gentle, the same is sunshine, but it is more like the sunshine at nine o'clock in the morning or five o'clock in the afternoon, and the warmth makes people's hearts beat faster.

"That's a good thing, at least it proves that the half hour I spent tossing in front of the full-length mirror wasn't wasted." Hugo's words made the smile on Charlize's lips completely bloom.

"Although I won't tell you how much time I spent preparing in front of the dressing mirror, your affirmation really relieved me." Charlize also said honestly, "You know, this dress is limiting my ability to eat tonight." This honest sentence made Hugo almost burst out laughing, although the laughter was stifled, but the smile in his eyes could not be more obvious.

After the two of them finished ordering, Hugo continued, "I asked you out today, in fact, there are two things, the first thing is that I got a job, an important supporting role......" Hugo's words were only halfway through, Charlize smiled and said "congratulations", interrupting Hugo's words, and then she continued, "So you are willing to treat you today?" ”

"It's part of it, but I prefer to say that I want to share this joy with my friends." ”

"Friends." Charlize chewed on the word meaningfully, "I don't think you're the only friend in Los Angeles, right?" "They only met once, and Hugo shouldn't have chosen her even if he wanted to celebrate with his friends.

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

Such blunt words made Charlize chuckle, "I thought you didn't need to." ”

Hugo raised an eyebrow, "Do you think so?" ”

This sentence made Charlize suddenly a little cramped, "Then I have to eat a big meal tonight." Charlize dissipated the shyness in the atmosphere with a witty remark, "Oh damn it, you should have let me know in advance, this dress is not for big eating." ”

"Don't worry, I don't mind." Hugo comforted, but was refuted by Charlize with a distrustful white eye, which made Hugo laugh directly, "The second thing is the point, the agent named Carl Earle last time, do you remember?" ”

"Of course." Charlize replied briskly, blinking her eyes and showing a sly smile, "That's a big reason why you're taking my phone number." ”

Hugo spread his hands, "It seems that my charm is still not enough, you only remember this business." Anyway, I'm going to get your phone number, aren't I? The words made Charlize helpless for a moment, and Hugo continued with a smile, "Here's the thing, I verified the information of this agent, confirmed that it was correct, and I also talked to him on the phone. ”

"He's a good agent, if you're interested in becoming an actor, you can contact him." Hugo briefly explained Carl's information, and finally concluded, "Actually, I considered introducing you to my agent, and he is also a very honest young man. However, his current ability is also limited, and even if he signs you, it is estimated that it will be difficult to arrange time and resources to help you, so Carl will be a good choice. ”

Charlize listened to Hugo's detailed explanation, and couldn't help nodding, regardless of whether Hugo asked for his phone call at the beginning was true or not, but at least Hugo's investigation of Carl was very thorough, and he also 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 laugh, 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, "In fact, not long after I came to Los Angeles, an agent gave me a business card. ”

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

"I spent a lot of time in Milan and New York before coming to Los Angeles, and then I came to Los Angeles with my mother's advice." "Unfortunately, life in Los Angeles was not satisfactory," Charlize simply recounted, and I couldn't even pay my rent, so I had to rely on my mother's relief. That day, I went to a bank on Hollywood Boulevard to cash a check my mother had given me for rent, but the teller refused my request, saying that the check could not be cashed, which made me angry, and I yelled at him. ”

"You mean, Roar?" Hugo was surprised, and although he could sense that Charlize was a cheerful girl, the rant was not within his awareness.

Charlize smiled and nodded, "It's what you understand as a roar." Hugo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in exclamation, expressing his surprise, but Charlize was not embarrassed, but continued with a smile on his face, "I stood in the lobby of the bank and roared angrily at the teller, and became the center of everyone's attention, but I really didn't care so much at that time, because I needed this money to pay the rent." ”

Hugo was about to ask, "How did the rent come about," but Charlize continued, "but to my surprise, the person standing behind me was actually an agent, who thought I had a lot of acting potential, and handed me a business card." ”

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

Charlize chuckled as well, "This is Hollywood." Then she let out a long breath, "It's called John Crosby." crosby) people offered me some job offers, but they all needed to be ......" Charlize didn't say it directly, but gestured on his chest, so that Hugo immediately understood. To put it simply, it's the vase work, or it's the skin that goes further. Meat work. "So, I fired him."

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

"Yes!" Charlize replied in the affirmative, which is why she chose to find out the news through Guò Hugo after learning that Hugo was an actor and knew something about it, "I don't want to meet a second John Crosby." ”

Hugo looked at Charlize in front of him, wiped the sweat 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.
