Carl stood in the elevator with the coffee in his hand, chatting with Hugo beside him with a smile, "When will your assistant come and take office? Now November is almost over."

"Next week." Hugo also held a cup of coffee in his hand and savored slowly. "He is going to deal with school affairs recently, and it's Thanksgiving. I'm not sure if he can have a holiday on Christmas, so I'd just let him come over a little later."

Carl shook his head in disagreement, "You have been so busy with publicity recently. Letting him come and help first is the right choice."

Hugo laughed, "Steven blocked a lot of publicity. This time the publicity is not as busy as the 'Yihai Xiongfeng'. Haven't you seen that I often have free time to practice with the band?"

Carl looked at Hugo in surprise, "I don't know. Every time I see you are not at home, I think you have a promotional itinerary."

Recently, "Schindler's List" is in the publicity period, and Hugo is also very busy. However, the "Schindler's List" was previewed in the first three weeks. Even if the public opinion frenzy is very hot, the crew has no intention of expanding publicity. After all, this movie was not a commercial blockbuster for box office at the beginning, but an art film with heavy connotations, so Universal Pictures has not arranged many publicity schedules. In the past week, due to the hot topics of public opinion, the crew has had to add some publicity schedules, but Steven still pushed some of them, and he did not want to use these hypes to promote the movie.

In this case, the promotional period of "Schindler's List" was not as busy as expected, which also gave Hugo a lot of time to practice the band. The first album of Glory to Death has been confirmed to be officially released on December 2, catching the last bus in 1993. After ten days of rest, the band began to practice life in full swing.

Therefore, although the whole momentum of "Schindler's list" was aroused, Hugo was quite a bit of an outsider's leisure and was not much busy.

"Haha, I have a radio show at noon today, in Burbank, and then it's fine. I'll go to the warehouse to participate in band practice later." Hugo sips the coffee in his hand and teases Carl easily.

The elevator stopped on the seventeenth floor. The elevator door opened with a "ding" sound, interrupting Hugo and Carl's chat. The two of them were about to go out, but a person came towards them. They were about to enter the elevator. When they looked up, they found that it was Joseph, which immediately stopped the movements of the three of them.

This was the first time that Hugo and Joseph met since they left Los Angeles for a road tour on July 5. It has been two weeks since the final tour of Los Angeles ended, but Hugo and Joseph never met, even though the two lived upstairs and downstairs. Hugo just heard from Fujin that Joseph either lived in the company or went home in the middle of the night, and left early the next morning. Even Fujin and Carl were very difficult to meet Joseph. Carl wanted to find opportunities to have a good chat with Joseph several times, but he didn't find any opportunities, let alone Hugo and Joseph.

Today, Hugo and Carl came to the company together because Hugo received a call from Joseph's assistant Anna Palma, asking him to come to the company. In the past half month, Hugo's work was basically conveyed by Anna. Hugo thought Joseph would avoid it in advance, but he didn't expect that the meeting would be so sudden.

From Joseph's actions, we can see that he really planned to avoid it, but he made a mistake in time and met Hugo face to face at the elevator entrance.

Carl looked at Hugo and Joseph nervously. He was very worried about what would happen after the two of them met head-on. Will the two fight directly or just become strangers? This is really impossible to predict.

Hugo and Joseph's eyes were in contact with each other, and both of them seemed a little surprised. Today's meeting was obviously outside the plan. In the past half month, the two of them had no communication. The "Schindler's list" was in full swing in the North American market, but the cooperative relationship between Hugo and Joseph became more and more official. Hugo did not fire Joseph because of the previous dispute, and Joseph did not neglect Hugo because of his anger. He only maintained his working relationship through his assistant Anna. All the previous quarrels remained at the deadlock on the phone, making the two more strangers.

At this time, Hugo didn't know what to say, and he didn't think he had anything to explain; Joseph didn't know how to speak, and it seemed like a layer of ice appeared between the two people, and as time went by, it became stronger and colder.

Time paused for a moment, as if a century had been separated. Even if Carl wanted to speak, all his voice was stuck in his throat. As a friend of the two, Carl seemed to be incorrect in speaking from whom he was standing at this time. Although he was actually standing on Joseph's side, he had no idea to start talking for Joseph at this time. So the scene was silent.

"Ding", the elevator closed because it was not moving for too long. Joseph quickly pressed the downward button at the door, and Hugo stood in the elevator and quickly pressed the door opening button. The elevator door that was about to close opened again.

This action broke the deadlock at the scene. Hugo and Joseph looked at each other. Joseph looked at Carl and said, "I'm going down. There is still a meeting in the city." I just didn't know whether to explain to Carl or Hugo, and then my eyes touched Hugo again. This time, the two of them nodded slightly strangely and politely at the same time, as if the lawyer and the client met for the first time, and they greeted him humbly and alienatedly.

Joseph flashed into the elevator, Hugo gave up the space, and then quickly walked out of the elevator. Carl hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something, but his head was still blank, and he didn't know what to say, but just said, "Everything went well." Then he walked out of the elevator, and the elevator door closed "ding" and blocked all the light in the elevator.

Carl looked at Hugo standing at the elevator entrance. Hugo and Joseph did not continue to argue or fight. He didn't know whether this was a good or a bad thing, but he always felt something bad in his heart, which made Carl sigh. He still liked the feeling before. He used to see Hugo and Joseph help each other and work together for the same goal. How happy it was to do it.

"Where do I need to go?" Hugo turned around and asked loudly.

Carl was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Oh, Joe's office is no longer the same place, he has a better office now." Carl also knew that Hugo's perception of direction was almost zero, so he took the initiative to lead Hugo forward and stopped not far from the elevator entrance, "That's it."

This is a frosted glass office, opposite is a row of office compartments. A little girl sitting directly opposite the office was busy. Carl knocked on the partition next to her, "Anna, your big customer is here." Although this office is not as luxurious as one-third of the offices on the 23rd floor, it at least has independent space and an assistant. It can be imagined that Joseph's work is indeed like a rocket upgrade.

He looked up and saw that about five yards away, he could see that the compartment where Joseph and Carl used to work together had been occupied by other agents. He didn't know where Joseph's narrow office was in before. In just less than two years, Joseph completed the triple jump. It was indeed incredible.

"Hugo, I'll go and do it first." Carl patted Hugo's shoulder and woke him up from his thoughts.

Hugo raised his eyes and saw the little girl in front of him. She looked like she was just graduating from college in her early twenties. Her long black hair was combed neatly, and her face looked a little rigid with a pair of black-framed glasses. However, the youthful and energetic spirit could still be seen between her eyebrows. However, what was surprising was that she had no makeup at all and looked like a white soup noodles. This was very different from the fact that most agents and assistants like to appear in their jobs in full arms.

In the Hollywood industry, many practitioners are always keen on dressing themselves up. The unspoken rules are not limited to actors. The contact between these practitioners and directors, actors, producers and agents is definitely not inferior to any other type of job, so it is not uncommon for sparrows to turn into phoenixes at all. In their opinion, this is not an unspoken rule at all, but a shortcut to reaching the sky. Of course, not everyone is like this, and not all dressed people have this idea, but this idea does exist.

Hugo and Anna were both contacted by phone before. Although the two of them had to contact each other almost every day for the past month, more frequently than lovers, this was the first time Hugo saw Anna, so Hugo smiled and stretched out his right hand, "I am Hugo Lancaster when we first met."

"Huh, Hugo, you're finally here. Hurry up and sit down at Qiao's office. I have a lot of things to make decisions today." Faced with Hugo's politeness, Anna directly omitted all the politeness links and went straight to the point, making Hugo laugh directly. Anna also felt embarrassed when she saw Hugo's teasing smile, "I mean, we've talked so many times before... Uh, I'm glad to see you."

"Haha, is this office? I think we can start working." Hugo could see that Anna was also at a loss. It was probably because she had too much work and her whole expression seemed a little tense. After all, Anna was just an assistant, not an agent, and now she needs to communicate with Hugo to a lot of work directly. This is not an easy task for Anna, who is just a fledgling child. So Hugo took the initiative to help Anna and entered the work stage with a smile.
