030 Easy Dating
Charlize pulled the red dress on his body and complained about Terra's bad idea for the fourth time. Charlize originally planned to wear a T-shirt and jeans, which was the easiest and more comfortable, but Terra insisted: "The first date should not be too grand, but it should not be too simple, otherwise it would be rude." In addition, Hugo's dinner place today was the Pacific Railway dining car, which was not a luxurious Western restaurant, so Charlize finally chose this red dress.
The close-fitting tailoring can reflect the advantages of Charlize's figure, but there is no cumbersome design and it will not pay too much attention to it. Paired with a black over-knee windbreaker, the advantages of Charlize's long hands and long legs are fully demonstrated. Although she is only seventeen years old this year, her overall temperament can easily make her stand out.
However, the worst thing about this outfit is that it is not warm. Although the temperature in Los Angeles is not low, it can't stand the raging sea breeze after the sunset, which made Charlize shudder for several times. It turns out that beauty has to pay the price. But the problem is that Charlize doesn't know whether meeting Hugo today is a date. If she is so grand, Hugo will be jeans, which is really embarrassing.
Standing in front of the Pacific Railway dining car, Charlize felt that Terra's idea was terrible.
The Pacific Railway Dining Truck opened as early as 1921. It is the originator of Los Angeles-themed restaurants. Its appearance is a train dining car. Its shabby but retro appearance makes people clearly see the development history of Los Angeles. Such a restaurant is full of historical charm, but she wore a dress, "It's so stupid!" Charlize complained in a low voice.
But now she couldn't go back to change her clothes, so Charlize could only raise her head and chest, and plucked up the courage to walk in. The amazing eyes of the people passing by around her made her finally recover a little confidence. However, when she entered the restaurant, she saw the surprised eyes of several guests at the door, Charlize suddenly felt guilty. She couldn't help but comfort herself in her heart, "Confidence, stick to yourself", and then stepped on her slightly empty steps and walked to the front desk, "The location where Hugo Lancaster made an appointment."
The waiter immediately smiled politely, "Mr. Lancaster is already waiting for you."
Charlize followed the waiter and walked in. Compared with the relatively old appearance, the interior layout was full of the elegant style of the 1930s, with light green and dark red painted walls, paired with navy wicker chairs, or dotted with dark green floral lampshades and chair covers, which were faintly gorgeous and yet stylish. The restaurant was filled with elegant jazz music, and Charlize felt that he seemed to be traveling through the golden age of Hollywood. Even the high heels couldn't help but lightly. As the jazz festival was gently beaten, time gently sliding on the surface of the skin.
In this way, Charlize's dress didn't seem too abrupt. Apart from the big shoulder pads of the 1980s in the windbreaker and jacket, she looked like she was completely integrated with the restaurant atmosphere.
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. However, Hugo did not wear a tie or bow tie, but just buttoned the shirt neatly, formal but not rigid, with a little more casualness in the rigor, which made Hugo's gentle temperament more charming, just like a top-notch warm jade, emitting a faint light under the bright yellow lights of the restaurant.
Charlize walked to the dining table. When the waiter was about to pull the chair open for her, Hugo came over, stopped him, and then pulled the chair out in person. Charlize took off his coat and handed it over to the waiter, then smiled and expressed his gratitude to Hugo, and then sat down.
Hugo returned to his position with a faint smile on his lips, "You are beautiful today."
Charlize looked up and saw that there was no special emotion in Hugo's pure eyes, but just simply praised herself. This made the complaints in her heart disappear silently, and her smile was filled with joy, "Thank you. You are different tonight than usual, and you look... more charming."
When Charlize first saw Hugo, his biggest feeling was the sunshine. It was as bright as the sunshine at 11:00 am or 3:00 pm, but today's Hugo is more gentle and gentle, and it is also full of sunshine, but it is more like the sunshine at 9:00 am or 5:00 pm, which makes people's heart beat faster.
"This is a good thing, at least it proves that I have been wasting half an hour in front of the dressing mirror." Hugo's words made the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth bloom completely.
"Although I won't tell you how much time I've prepared in front of the dressing mirror, your certainty really made me feel relieved." Charlize also said honestly, "You know, this dress limits my dining standard tonight." This honest sentence almost made Hugo laugh. Although the laughter was held back, the smile in his eyes was obvious.
After the two of them finished ordering, Hugo continued, "There are actually two things to ask you out today. The first thing is that I got a job, an important supporting role..." After Hugo was halfway through his words, Charlize smiled and said "congratulations", interrupting Hugo, and then she continued, "So you are willing to treat you today?"
This made Hugo smile, "This is part, but I would rather say that I want to share such joy with my friends."
"Friend." Charlize chewed the word meaningfully, "You should have more than me in Los Angeles, right?" They only met once. Even if Hugo wanted to celebrate with his friends, he shouldn't choose her.
Hugo shrugged and said with a smile, "You know, men always need a reason."
Such straightforward words made Charlize chuckle, "I thought you didn't need it."
Hugo raised his eyebrows, "Do you think so?"
This sentence made Charlize suddenly feel a little embarrassed, "Then I have to have a big meal tonight." Charlize used a playful word to relieve the shyness in the atmosphere, "Oh, damn it, you should notify me in advance. This skirt is not suitable for eating and drinking."
"Don't worry, I don't mind." Hugo comforted, but was refuted by Charlize's distrustful eyes, which made Hugo laugh directly, "The second thing is the point. Do you remember the last time the agent named Carl Earl?"
"Of course." Charlize replied readily, and after saying that, she blinked and showed a sly smile, "This is an important reason why you want to leave my phone number."
Hugo spread his hands, "It seems that my charm is not enough. You only remember this business. But no matter what, I want to get your phone number, right?" Charlize suddenly felt helpless. Hugo continued with a smile, "This is the thing. I verified the information of this agent and confirmed it correctly. I also called him."
"He is a good agent. If you have the intention to become an actor, you can contact him." Hugo simply explained Carl's information and finally concluded, "Actually, I have considered introducing you to my agent, and he is also a very honest young man. However, his ability is limited now. Even if he signs you, it will probably be difficult to arrange time and resources to help you, so Carl will be a good choice."
After hearing Hugo's detailed explanation, Charlize couldn't help but nod. No matter whether Hugo asked for a phone call or not, at least Hugo's investigation of Carl was very thorough and gave himself some simple suggestions, "Huh, this has really helped me a lot, thank you."
Looking at Charlize's slightly exaggerated smile, Hugo couldn't help but smile. He naturally wouldn't take it seriously. Charlize was just polite, but he didn't expect Charlize to see Hugo's expression, but he restrained his smile and said, "I'm serious." This made Hugo look surprised, "In fact, soon after I came to Los Angeles, an agent gave me a business card."
"This is not surprising." Hugo nodded with a smile.
"Before I came to Los Angeles, I stayed in Milan and New York for a long time, and then at the advice of my mother, I came to Los Angeles." Charlize said in a few words, "It's a pity that life in Los Angeles is not very satisfactory. I couldn't even pay the rent, so I could only rely on my mother's relief. That day, I went to a bank on Hollywood Avenue to exchange for the check my mother gave me - for rent, but the cashier refused my request and said that the check could not be redeemed. This made me very angry, so I roared at him."
"You mean, roar?" Hugo seemed quite surprised. Although he could feel that Charlize was a cheerful girl, roaring was not within his cognition.
Charlize smiled and nodded, "It's the roar you understand." Hugo couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and exclaimed his surprise, but Charlize did not feel embarrassed, but continued with a smile, "I stood in the bank hall and roared at the cashier angrily, which became the focus of everyone's attention, but I really couldn't care about that much at that time because I needed the money to pay the rent."
Hugo was about to ask "How did the rent be resolved later?", but Charlize continued, "But unexpectedly, the person standing behind me was an agent. He thought I had the potential to perform and handed me a business card."
This time it was Hugo's turn to be shocked, and in the end he could only say "Hollywood!"
Charlize also chuckled, "This is Hollywood." Then she let out a long sigh, "This person named John Crosby has provided me with some job opportunities, but they all need..." Charlize did not say it directly, but gestured on his chest, which made Hugo understand immediately. Simply put, it was just a vase work, or a step further in the skin and flesh work. "So, I fry him."
Hugo nodded meaningfully, and then he continued, "So when Carl handed you a business card, you chose to refuse."
"Yes!" Charlize gave a positive answer, which was why she learned that Hugo was an actor and had some understanding of it, so she chose to inquire about it. "I don't want to meet the second John Crosby again."
