"Coffee." Charlize tapped her slender fingers on the coffee paper cup in front of Hugo, a bright smile on the corner of her mouth, "Is it possible to eat here?" Charlize's words struck Hugo again, and the eyes of the two people made contact and couldn't help laughing.

Hugo has forgotten about it, and it's only 1992, and although Starbucks was founded in 1971, it wasn't until 1987 that it was replaced by Howard Schultz. Schultz) began the dynasty journey of the global chain. Today's Starbucks is far less huge than it was more than a decade later, and it can only be regarded as a fast-rising chain of coffee shops in the United States. Therefore, Charlize's evaluation of Starbucks is very correct.

Although Hugo was embarrassed one after another just now, he quickly recovered, letting all the embarrassment and embarrassment quietly dissolve in the smile on the corner of his mouth, and gently bit his lower lip, "Of course, coffee." Nodding slightly, Hugo raised his eyes and looked directly at Charlize, "I wonder if I can buy you a cup of coffee?" ”

Charlize looked at Hugo's eyes as clear as a lake in front of him, and the smile on the corner of his mouth paused slightly, and then bloomed even more brilliantly, "Yes." Mamba, no sugar, thanks. ”

"Mamba? Excellent choice. Hugo stood up with a smile, nodded slightly at Charlize, and walked towards the store. Mamba coffee (mandheling. Brazil), which is a blend of Mandheling coffee and Brazilian coffee, is aromatic and pleasant, but powerful and flavorful, and Charlize does not add sugar, which shows some of Charlize's personality.

When Hugo walked into the store, he took a long breath from the door to calm his mind. Hugo realized that whether it was the last time he met Brad at the audition, or the unexpected encounter with Charlize today, who was still rolling in the modeling industry, he seemed a little fussed, completely like a crazy star chaser.

Although Hugo knew that this was inevitable, after all, he was still rolling in the domestic underground rock music industry a few days ago, and today he has seen people who could only be seen on the screen one after another, which is really difficult to adapt, but Hugo also knows that he has to adapt, because he is rolling in this industry now, and he will see more legendary characters in the future.

Re-stepping, Hugo walked to the counter, and after ordering a cup of mamba coffee for Charlize, he thought about it, but still stood by and waited, and did not go out. It wasn't until the clerk had brewed the coffee and filled it in a paper cup that Hugo walked out with the coffee.

Pushing open the brown glass door, Hugo saw Charlize sitting at the coffee table at a glance. At this moment, Charlize supported his chin with his right hand, his long golden hair slid smoothly down his shoulders, and the palm trees lined up on the boulevard climbed dense ivy, and the sun spilled through the lush foliage, and the golden flecks of light cast a golden veil on Charlize's body. Charlize in front of her is like an elven girl living quietly in the woods, smart and beautiful.

Hugo could even clearly see Charlize's slender eyelashes fluttering gently in the sunlight like butterfly wings, and the shadows of the hair, eyelashes, and the bridge of her nose made her facial features more three-dimensional. Suddenly, as if she noticed something, she raised her eyes, and when she turned around, she saw Hugo standing at the door of Starbucks, her eyelashes went up, and the laziness between her eyebrows created a halo in the sun, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was outlined like this, making people hold their breath suddenly.

In fact, the current Charlize is only seventeen years old, and she is not the beautiful goddess in Hugo's memory at all, the current Charlize is still relatively young, and her girlish temperament makes her look more down-to-earth. But at this time, Charlize's facial features have basically grown, and the charm of his eyebrows and eyes has a little electricity, and he is indeed very glamorous in the reflection of the golden light.

No wonder Carl gave his business card to Charlize anyway! Hugo sighed again.

But this time Hugo's reaction did not pause, seeing Charlize's smile, he also showed a smile in response, and then raised the coffee in his hand slightly, and walked towards his seat.

Charlize looked at Hugo in front of him, his tall posture, stretched muscles, and handsome face, almost impossible to look at in the dazzling sunlight, and his amber eyes were like two clear lakes shining in the sunlight projected without any obstacles, and when the smile on the corner of his mouth was outlined, the warmth and splendor of the heart bloomed like this. Charlize couldn't help but be a little distracted.

"Hey, your coffee." Hugo looked at Charlize with a stunned expression, put the coffee in front of her, called with a smile, and sat down across from Charlize.

Charlize's gaze fell with Hugo, "Did anyone say you're charming?" ”

"You're the first one of the day." Hugo's answer made Charlize roll back with laughter, like a blooming lily.

Charlize picked up the coffee, put it to her lips and took a sip, the sour and bitter touch of the mamba coffee bloomed on the tip of her tongue, she couldn't help lowering her eyes and savoring it, and then looked at the handsome man opposite with satisfaction, "So, you are an actor?" After the question, Charlize realized his faux pas and quickly added, "I haven't been in Los Angeles for a long time, to be precise, I haven't been in the United States for long, and I don't know much about these things." I just heard Carl say your name, so ......"

Although Hugo didn't know much about English, he could still hear that Charlize's English was slightly different from the accent he had heard recently, and it was not surprising to think that Charlize was South African, English was her second language, and Afrikaans was her mother tongue.

"It's okay, it's okay." Hugo showed a shallow smile, the tenderness in his eyes shimmered in the sun, "Yes, I'm an actor, but my grades are not good at the moment, even if you come here for a long time, I guess you still don't know me." "This is also the first time since Hugo crossed over that no one has mentioned the Golden Raspberry Award in front of him, which is really good." By the way, my name is Hugo Lancaster. ”

"Charlize Theron." The little girl in front of her looked at Hugo's warm smile, and her smile softened a little, "I only came to the United States a year ago, originally wanted to become a ballet dancer in New York, but unfortunately my knee was injured, my mother asked me to come to Los Angeles to try my luck, and now I am working as a model." ”

Although he only said a few words, Hugo could hear the hardships of Charlize's life in the United States, which was also the biggest feeling in the short period of time after Hugo crossed over. Don't look at the stars on the big screen, and not to mention how much effort it takes for these actors to get into the spotlight, just to say that there are tens of thousands of actors in the city of Los Angeles who are struggling to be able to star in a production, you know what a cruel industry it is. Modeling, more difficult than actors.

"Trust me, I'm not a bad person, you can sue me about all of you, trust me." Hugo's teasing made the heaviness in Charlize's words disappear at once, and both of them laughed softly.

"So, do you know the agent just now?" Charlize also realized that she and Hugo had only met for less than ten minutes, and her self-introduction just now had indeed leaked too much information, so she immediately changed the topic.

"Oh yes, I know him, his name is Carl Earl and he's an agent." Hugo pretended to be profound, and Charlize waited for the next step with an expectant expression, but Hugo shrugged his shoulders, "Isn't that enough?" It turned out that he didn't know anything about Carl either. Charlize understood that he had been teased by Hugo, and bit his lower lip angrily and funny, with an unwilling expression, which made Hugo completely happy.

"It was just a joke." Hugo hurriedly said, he took out Carl's business card from his pocket and read it carefully, "Oh, he's an agent under the International Innovation Management Company, great, I'm also from this company." If you need it, I can help you inquire and verify his identity. ”

Charlize also looked at Carl's business card in his hand, nodded and said, "Really? That couldn't be better. Then she looked up at Hugo again, "I mean, since I can't be a ballerina in real life, maybe I can do it on the big screen, right?" ”

Hugo pursed his lips, "I doubt it." Charlize was stunned, and his expression was stunned. Hugo then laughed, "Unless you're willing to use a stand-in, aren't you?" So I think you should try to be a good actor, which is more realistic. ”

Charlize immediately understood what Hugo meant, even as a ballet dancer on the big screen, her injured knee is still a problem, and instead of holding such unrealistic dreams, it is more realistic to see the reality clearly and reformulate the goals of her life.

After thinking about this, Charlize looked at Hugo differently, she couldn't help but look deeply at the handsome man in front of her, Hugo was looked a little abnormal, and looked down at his shirt, "I didn't drip coffee on my clothes, did I?" ”

Charlize laughed again and shook his head, "No, no, you're good. After laughing, Charlize continued, "It's just that you're different from most men. "When other men discuss these issues, they just flatter and don't really think about it at all, because their lower body occupies their heads. But Hugo was different, he was always serious during the conversation, especially the gentle eyes.

"That's a good thing, isn't it?" Hugo deliberately showed a worried expression, "You know, I was embarrassed when we met just now, and it would be a bad thing if I didn't change my impression after the conversation." ”

This sentence amused Charlize again, and she no longer remembered the first time she had smiled during the conversation between the two of them, "Who knows? I can't guarantee it. ”

Hugo showed a look of annoyance, but then the words were irrelevant, "That's it, you tell me my phone number, and I'll call you when I finish inquiring about Karl." ”

Charlize looked at Hugo in front of him, and his smile bloomed brighter and brighter.
