In November, Los Angeles is clear and cool, and the clouds are rolling. Although the bitterness of early winter is mixed with the sea breeze blowing from the west coast, the autumn steps are still reluctant to leave. The breeze makes the skin tighten slightly, feeling the coldness of the autumn and winter.

Hugo and Joseph finished the radio recording this morning, and then drove to the company headquarters together. The promotion of "Smelling the Scent of Love" has come to an end, and the itinerary has gradually become less tight.

The early 1990s were no different from the 21st century. After entering 2000, the competition in the North American film market became increasingly fierce. There was no problem with more than 100 movies screened in theaters in one week, so the promotional competition was particularly hot. In many cases, box office competition was a competition for publicity; but now, there are almost less than 20 movies released in theaters in one week, and the competition in publicity has weakened a lot. "Smelling the fragrance and knowing women" has been promoted for more than three weeks, which is already considered a long time.

After entering the headquarters, Joseph and Hugo went to the 17th floor first. Seeing Hugo's arrival, the staff in the office waved to greet Hugo enthusiastically. In fact, the atmosphere downstairs has always been more active than the upstairs. The agents on the middle and lower levels are more united and closer. Of course, this is also the day when interests intervene, no one will know whether the situation will become the deserted upstairs. Maybe before the interests are not conflicted, the upstairs will be as harmonious as the seventeenth floor.

After Joseph confirmed to the front desk that he had no phone number, he went to his position to call Universal Pictures to confirm the promotion schedule for next week. Then he called Hugo to walk into the elevator again. Hugo looked at Joseph pressing down the 23rd floor and couldn't help but look over in confusion, "Want to see Lang?" Lang's office was on the 23rd floor.

"No." Joseph shook his head, his expression did not change much. After the past year, Joseph's attitude towards Lang has gradually changed. "I have something to see Rick Rosen."

"Big Rick?" Hugo is not unfamiliar with this name. The house they are renting now was found by Rick. In order to express their gratitude, they specially invited Rick to have a meal in the shared apartment.

Joseph nodded and expressed his affirmation, "He said he had something to ask me, I'll go and take a look." The elevator stopped on the 23rd floor quickly. Joseph said to Hugo, "I'm not sure what it is, so you can sit here and wait for a while." Since this is an agency, it is a service agency, so customers come to your door at any time, and there is a sofa seating area outside each office. So it's not difficult for Hugo to find a place to sit down.

Watching Joseph walk towards his left hand, Hugo realized that Rick was an agent of the same level as Lang, because he also had his own independent office, and he didn't notice his previous relationship. Rick was not only not ostentatious but also not domineering, but also had some gentlemanly style. For this reason, Hugo also joked with Alex, "This kind of personality cannot attract customers." Because in the circle of agents, personality must be strong to take the initiative, which is the truth. But now it seems that this is not the case.

Hugo was thinking about his own affairs on the sofa, and suddenly a clerk came over with coffee in his sight, and finally stopped beside Hugo, "Two packs of candy, no milk, right?"

Hugo didn't react at once, but just nodded blankly. The female staff member bent over and placed the coffee on the sofa, and completely outlined the curve of her figure with one skirt. Then she showed a bright smile at Hugo, and then turned around and left.

What is this situation? I have never had such a situation when I came to the company several times before. Not to mention making coffee, there is no one who cares about it. But today not only does someone serve coffee for me, but the important thing is to remember my habit of drinking coffee, but also toss my charm at myself. The smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth immediately outlined. It seems that not only the seventeenth floor, but also the 23th floor, the attitude towards me has also changed.

It is hard to believe that the success of a movie "Smelling fragrance to recognize women" can bring such a big change. Sure enough, the entertainment industry is the most realistic, cruel and direct place. It is so obvious that it is moving towards highs and lows.

I picked up the coffee and the rich aroma came to my nose. I took a sip. The sour, sweet and bitter taste danced on the tip of my tongue. It was indeed a kind of enjoyment. Looking at the orderly corridor through the mist of coffee, Hugo caught an incredible figure in his sight.

It was a black formal outfit, with a neat and curved tailoring, which outlined a woman's intellectual temperament through the clothes, and you can tell it was a high-end customization at a glance. Hugo was not familiar with this back, but his predecessor was very familiar. The alarm bell in his mind told him: This woman is Tracy Jacobs.

At this time, the man opposite Tracy was Lang. These two people were not only acquaintance but also familiar with each other. Hugo has always known this. After all, one is his ex-agent and the other is his ex-girlfriend. The four consecutive movies Hugo had filmed before were all collaborated with Tracy and Lang. But the question is, why is Tracy visiting Lang now? It is still a different purpose.

Tracy happened to say goodbye to Lang. She and Lang performed a veneer, and then said goodbye and walked towards Hugo. Lang, who was standing at the door of the office, did not stop too much, turned around and went back. However, Tracy took two steps and his eyes fell on Hugo. She saw a smile-like curve on her face, and she looked at Hugo in a playful way, without dodging or pause, and was in contact with Hugo's sight.

Tracy is actually not beautiful. Hugo knew this last time when he looked at the front of the corridor of Waldorf Hotel in New York. But I have to admit that although the years left traces on Tracy's face, she also made her temperament more and more mature.

Unlike the two previous meetings, Tracy did not avoid Hugo's sight today, but just looked over generously, and even stopped in front of Hugo, and looked at Hugo with a smile.

This surprised Hugo. Because Tracy didn't know him twice before, but today he didn't continue like this. Moreover, this position made Hugo feel a little uncomfortable. Tracy was standing and he was sitting. Tracy looked at him condescendingly, looking down and despising.

Hugo stood up with coffee, and his height advantage immediately made Tracy slowly raise his head and look up at Hugo. Tracy was a little surprised by Hugo's actions, but soon showed a clear expression and said with a smile, "Long time no see."

Hugo pursed his lips, and a subtle curve appeared on the corner of his lips. The little bit of indifferent smile seemed to be not caring about what was in front of him. "Long time no see."

Tracy obviously did not expect Hugo's calmness. Her eyes paused at the corner of Hugo's mouth. After confirming that Hugo's smile was not deliberately created, she quickly lowered her head and smiled. She used this action to hide the emotions in her eyes. When she raised her head again, she became calm again. "Good luck. I heard from Lang just now that the premiere time of 'Yihai Xiongfeng' has set the premiere. I hope everything goes well this time."

Hugo couldn't help but frown, "My agent is Joseph Gibbs." He didn't know why Tracy mentioned Lang, and Lang also mentioned his premiere, which didn't look like Lang's style at all.

Tracy raised his eyebrows slightly, paused for a moment, and then showed an apology smile, "My mistake." After saying that, he nodded slightly to Hugo, continued to take steps, and left Hugo.

Looking at Tracy's back as he left, Hugo was full of doubts. On the one hand, he was puzzled by the reason why Tracy mentioned Lang. Was Lang still involved in his own affairs, or was he just thinking too much, and he was just one of the boring topics of conversation when Lang and Tracy greeted him; on the other hand, he was puzzled by Tracy's attitude, what happened between her and her predecessor.

In fact, it is certain that the separation between Tracy and Hugo is definitely unpleasant, but as for whether Tracy abandoned Hugo or Hugo betrayed Tracy and chose to leave, it is hard to say. Now, from Tracy's attitude, she looked a little complicated when she saw Hugo twice before, but she was still cold, and she could even say that she treated Hugo as a stranger; but today Tracy took the initiative to say hello, her eyes changed twice, but she couldn't figure out the emotions inside, and finally she said goodbye with coldness, and she didn't even say a word of "goodbye".

Hugo really couldn't find a clue. This memory has never been integrated, so he couldn't explore it either. However, relying on his intuition, no matter what happened before, Tracy didn't plan to make Hugo happy now, which is beyond doubt. From the roundabout rejection of "Dahe Love", to the blindness of the hotel corridor, to today's intrigue, it can be seen that Tracy stood on the opposite side of Hugo step by step, and became more and more determined. Hugo felt very bad.

As for whether this is Hugo's illusion or the truth, it is unknown.

Hugo felt that after looking at the coffee in his hand, his interest suddenly decreased by half.

"Hugo, Hugo..." Joseph's voice came from the right. Although he suppressed his voice, it still seemed very abrupt in the quiet twenty-third floor. Hugo turned his head and saw the joy on Joseph's face. The thin man standing at the door of the office behind him was Rick. "Come here! Hurry." Joseph waved his hands at Hugo, and the excitement between his eyebrows was faintly illuminated.

Hugo was a little surprised that what Joseph and Rick talked about actually involved him?
