Hugo walked down the stairs and looked around the hall. He never saw Uma. His thoughts were too chaotic and complicated, making Hugo feel that he needed some fresh air, so he left the hall and walked towards the garden. As long as he recalled Tracy's incident, Hugo felt a headache. It was difficult for a clean official to make a decision, and emotional entanglements made people unable to start.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air outside, Hugo's slightly swollen brain was relieved. He originally thought that he had already understood and prepared enough about 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 of these are difficulties that Hugo must face, because now this is his life.

Before Hugo took a few steps, he saw Joseph walking towards him, his expression not very good. Although Hugo was also worried at this time, he could also see the stiffness of Joseph's face at a glance. After all, the two of them have been together almost every day in the past year, and their understanding of each other is indeed extraordinary.

"What's wrong? Have you met Baum?" This was Hugo's only idea. Brad's agent Martin Baum, Hugo never saw it tonight. Could it be that Martin showed off his power in front of Joseph?

Joseph looked at Hugo, but stopped talking, and then avoided his eyes, which made Hugo frown and asked loudly, "What?"

Joseph did not turn his head, but still looked elsewhere, shrugging, "Nothing, it's not that I met Baum, but... others met." Joseph did not say who it was, which made Hugo confused. If it were the past, Joseph would have to endure it, but now since he and Hugo are friends, he has less scruples in some words, so he endured it and endured it. Joseph still couldn't hold it back, "It's Uma, Uma and Martin are having a happy chat."

Hugo did not expect such a situation, but he was not anxious, "It's just chatting, nothing, don't think too much. Besides, there is no deep hatred between us and Martin, it's just a competitor. 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.

Hugo is talking about the fact that there are not so many deep hatreds in the entertainment industry. Even if Lang looks for Hugo now, it is normal for people to turn back to Hugo. In the industry where interests are the first priority, it is the only indicator for people to bring profits. However, emotionally speaking, it is still very different. You must know that less than ten minutes ago, Hugo realized that he had missed the opportunity to "sugar-coated trap". It is very likely that Martin pushed Brad to win this opportunity. It is no wonder that Joseph's face was bad.

Although Hugo comforted Joseph, he still looked around for Uma's figure. It can be seen that he was still a little concerned. Especially considering Tracy's current relationship with Brad, and Martin is Brad's agent, if you think about the thought storm in Hugo's mind just now, it is not difficult to understand Hugo's current emotions.

In fact, it was not difficult to find Uma and Martin. They were standing next to the buffet table. Uma's face was filled with a bright smile, which made her look very happy. Martin's face was always filled with a kind smile, and his wrinkled eyes narrowed slightly, flashing with a vigilant calculating light.

Hugo and Joseph walked over with steady strides. It seemed that Hugo was approaching, and Martin raised the champagne glass in his hand, "Oh, the Flower Guardian has arrived, then I think my mission will come to an end."

Uma stepped forward and gave Hugo a big hug. The dazzling smile on her face seemed very happy. Hugo cheered up, smiled, and said to Martin, "Thank you for your company. Is everything still pleasant tonight?"

Martin still had that no exaggerated smile, "Of course, Miss Thurman's company is enough to make up for my regret of not being able to dance." He narrowed his eyes and looked at Hugo, and then said meaningfully, "I hope you have a happy night too, but don't be too busy and ignore the beauty. Then I will say goodbye first."

These words all imply the victory of the "icing trap", which made Joseph's fist clench tightly. Hugo also felt a little frustrated. He originally thought that the excellent results he had achieved in two months had won him some initiative, but in fact, in the Hollywood world, Hugo is still just a freshly-off actor and has no power.

After watching Martin leave, Hugo looked at Uma, and the smile in his eyes finally emerged again, "How is it, is everything okay?" Uma nodded with a smile, and Hugo felt relieved, "Then let's leave first. The matter has been done, so we will go to Alex's friend's party as planned."

But Uma nodded without expecting it, but said hesitantly, "Do you leave now? We have only been here for half an hour, won't we stay for a while?"

Hugo chuckled, "I didn't expect that things would end so soon, and we would have nothing else to do here, right? Now, you can catch up with the party's ** and be with friends at the countdown. Isn't it much more comfortable than here?"

Uma was still hesitant, her smile weakened little by little, and she bit her lower lip and said, "But, Nicole and I made an agreement. After the few female companions were having a drink together, I planned to go and find her after the chat with Martin. We have all made an agreement."

Hugo suddenly realized that although his affairs were over, Uma's affairs seemed to have not ended here, which made Hugo feel a little embarrassed, "But you know, we agreed with Alex first, right?" Hugo frowned slightly, bit his lower lip, and then thought about it carefully, "Do you and Nicole need to spend a lot of time?"

Uma nodded, and then asked tentatively, "Can you not go to Alex? Look, we are all here now, the atmosphere here is so good, and it is also interesting to everyone celebrate the New Year together. You have explained the situation to Alex, and he will definitely understand. Let's stay here, can't we?"

Hugo looked at Uma with some surprise, "I thought we had agreed." Hugo felt his tone was a little rushing. The things he had just experienced were wave after wave. He felt his patience index plummeting, so he paused for a moment, calmed down, and then continued, "Just like you and Nicole agreed with him, we have made an agreement with Alex first. We must keep our promise with 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, swallowing up the excitement and excitement that had just bloomed like fireworks. Uma did not answer immediately, thought about it carefully, and finally made a decision, "Let me do this, I'll sit with Nicole and the others, explain the situation, and then leave with you, okay?"

This is fair. Hugo nodded, "This is a must. After all, you agreed to Nicole and the others, and it is appropriate to explain the situation in detail before leaving." Hugo looked at Uma's eyes and said gently, "Do you need me to go with you? After all, it was because of me that interrupted your small party. I'll go and apologize to Nicole and the others."

Uma immediately shook her head, squeezed out a smile and said, "No, no, a group of women sit together, it's too embarrassing for you to go over. I'll sit down and I'll be back soon."

Hugo thought about this and agreed. Finally, Hugo printed a kiss on Uma's forehead and watched Uma turn around and walk into the hall.

Hugo turned around and wanted to call Joseph to go to the front yard to wait together, but saw Joseph's gloomy face. He thought Joseph was still depressed about the "icing trap", so he patted Joseph on the shoulder, "Forget it, don't think about it anymore. Even if he thinks about it, it's useless..."

But Joseph frowned and looked at Hugo, "How can she do this?" Hugo stopped and looked at Joseph, "She never asked you about the 'icing trap' from beginning to end, 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 consideration. Now that Joseph mentioned it, Hugo's head was stiff, but he shook his head and smiled and said, "Don't be so sensitive. She and Martin didn't say anything, it's just a social occasion. She doesn't need to take responsibility for our failure, right?"

Joseph looked at Hugo deeply and wanted to say it, but in the end he turned into a sigh and didn't say anything. The matter of love is the most sensitive. If you stand on the standpoint of a friend and give your own opinions, you will be very embarrassed. However, if you don't give your opinions, you will let your friend down. 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 "sugar-coated trap" matters, and it is very likely that he would blame anyone he met, so he did not persist.

"So, where are we going to wait for Uma?" Joseph asked.

Hugo suddenly said "ah", which made Joseph stop, "I didn't agree to meet with Uma." I was too hasty just now, "Forget it, let's sit in the front yard, she will see it when she comes out." Then Hugo and Joseph walked towards the hall and discussed in a low voice.

"Now, half an hour is enough to go over Alex's place, ha, Alex will definitely be very happy to see us appear. Should we go over and scare him? Haha, and Charlize, we sneak in, and then wear masks to see if there is any horrible mask..."
