Fortunately, this is a one-way road, so even if Hugo is crazy about the road, he will not get lost. He just needs to walk along the mountain road. In just a quarter of an hour, Hugo and Sandra arrived at the entrance of the mountain city.

The mountain city is not as magnificent as imagined. The elegant wooden buildings, the use of fresh colors and simple interior design make the entrance of the entire restaurant look refreshing, and there is a sense of ease completely free from the bustle and noisy city, as if the heavy burden on the shoulders has been removed.

"Good evening, welcome to the mountain city. Do you have any reservations?" The receptionist standing at the door asked with a smile on his face.

Sandra naturally looked at Hugo, but Hugo paused, "Uh, sorry, there was no appointment. Is there no seat now?" Since Hugo decided to come to Shancheng at the last moment, there was no time to make an appointment. Moreover, after Hugo came to Los Angeles, there were actually not many opportunities to go out for dining. He never developed the habit of making an appointment, so he habitually thought that it would be enough to go in after arriving at the scene.

Now facing such a situation, Hugo couldn't help feeling embarrassed. The wheat-colored cheeks were slightly red, which made Sandra stand beside her and laugh. The receptionist's next words obviously made Hugo even more helpless, "Sorry, our seats are already full. If there is no appointment, it may take some time to wait."

For some reason, Hugo suddenly remembered the Valentine's Day disaster he mentioned in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Every Valentine's Day is a disaster for men because they must remember this festival and then have to arrange programs. But the problem is that everyone in the city has come out to date in restaurants, which makes it very difficult to make a Valentine's Day restaurant appointment. Sometimes, one week in advance may not be able to make a smooth appointment to popular restaurants. The result will naturally lead to a mess.

Hugo didn't know why she suddenly remembered this incident, but it is undeniable that when a man was dating, he forgot to make a seat, which was a very disappointing thing. He couldn't let women stand in the wind and wait for a seat. This was really rude.

Hugo didn't even dare to look at Sandra's eyes at this time. Although he could tell that Sandra was not angry and smiled, he still felt sorry. After all, he took the initiative to propose this date, "If you wait, how long will it take to wait?"

This is not the peak period for dining. Hugo originally thought it would not be too difficult to miss the peak period, but he forgot that this is a big city with a population of more than 2 million.

"About three quarters of an hour," the receptionist said with a smile, but it made Hugo look like a mortar immediately. This was really bad.

Hugo took a deep breath, turned his head and thought of Sandra, and became his own mistake calmly, "Sorry, I'm really sorry, my mistake." If there is any mistake, you must admit that escaping is definitely not a good choice, and this is their first date. Such a situation can be regarded as the most terrible situation that no one is willing to face.

Sandra didn't care too much, but instead blinked, "If you came with your sweetheart, this wouldn't happen, right?"

After being teased like this, Hugo was directly amused, "No, if I dated Sweetheart, I would have chosen a pizza shop or pancake shop."

"Then I should still feel grateful that the treatment is at least different." Sandra said with a laugh.

The receptionist stood behind the reception desk, looking at his nose and his heart. She was obviously completely confused by the conversation between Hugo and Sandra, and could only stand intently, motionless.

After laughing, Hugo glanced at the receptionist again, then looked at Sandra and said hesitantly, "So, due to my mistake, I think I have lost the initiative to date tonight. Do you want to take over?"

"Is that all?" Sandra leaned back and raised her eyebrows and said in surprise, "I thought you would show a manly spirit."

"Are you referring to this?" Hugo clenched his fist and waved it. This action made Sandra smile suddenly, but Hugo touched his nose shyly. He stood there and thought about it, and looked at the receptionist again, asking in a considerate tone, "As far as I know, every restaurant will have reserved seats. You know, reserved for VIP customers, I wonder, can we occupy a table?"

This is some news that Hugo heard. In Los Angeles, where there are many stars and many politicians, there are actually many people who arrive at the restaurant without an appointment, and there are many big names among them. For example, US President William Clinton came to the restaurant for dinner, but there was no appointment, but there were no seats. Then the restaurant could not push Clinton outward, or let Clinton wait at the door. In order to avoid this situation, the restaurant would reserve seats, and there would definitely be every day to ensure that important people would not be rude when they came.

There are countless such situations in Hollywood. Top stars appear in restaurants to dine. This is actually a kind of free publicity. Almost all restaurants are warmly welcomed, so they cannot push the stars out and will only welcome them enthusiastically. Of course, the so-called "stars" are also divided into levels, and this snobbery has clearly left countless marks in Hollywood.

In fact, Hugo had a moment of hesitation whether to report his name to see if he could get a seat, but this was not something Hugo could do. It was not just pretending, but also using his mouth to show off his achievements. Just imagination was strange, so this idea just came out and was directly extinguished by Hugo.

The receptionist still said with a smile, "Today our reserved seats are full, I'm really sorry. Or, you can leave the contact information and we'll book you a dinner seat tomorrow. What do you think?"

Although the receptionist's attitude is very polite, the subtext is actually very clear: reserved seats are for VIPs, but who are you?

The famous Hugo was not recognized, or it was not enough to enter the reserved seat. If it were another reporter or artist, he would probably be surprised to have his chin dislocated. But for Hugo, he did not feel awkward at all, because he never felt that he was a "top star" and he did not think that his profession could bring him any privileges. This can be seen from Hugo's willingness to stand on the street to perform a band.

Sandra looked at Hugo unexpectedly. The receptionist in front of her did not recognize Hugo. This incident made Sandra feel very incredible. Although she did not intend to do anything in the name of Hugo, she was still surprised. You know, Hugo is a hot Hollywood figure now. What surprised Sandra even more was that Hugo didn't mind at all, and she had no airs or tempers of a big star. Is this because Hugo was weak or because Hugo was broad-minded enough?

Just as Hugo and Sandra were about to leave, another person came to the entrance. She smiled and bowed to Hugo and Sandra first, then whispered to the receptionist for something in the ear. The receptionist immediately began to check on the registration book in front of him, and the woman who had just walked out looked at Hugo and Sandra.

Originally, the woman still had a polite smile on her face, but when she came into contact with Hugo's sight, she fell into a complete shock for a moment, and her whole attitude immediately became kind and enthusiastic, "Good evening, did you come here to have a meal?"

"Uh...yes, but I was told there was no seat anymore, and because of my negligence, I didn't make an appointment, so..." Hugo scratched his head awkwardly and cast a sorry look at Sandra again. "It seems that we can only enjoy the night view of Angel City and the food of Mountain City next time."

"Sorry, I'm really sorry, Mr. Lancaster." The woman bowed and expressed her apology, then walked straight to Hugo. "Good evening, I'm Amy, the restaurant's duty manager. In fact, we still reserve seats for VIPs. If you don't mind, our restaurant is very welcome."

Hugo looked at Amy in front of him, and had not turned his mind yet, and was stunned, "Uh, are you talking about it, there is still a place?" Then he saw the receptionist standing beside him immediately stood aside with a panic look on his face, looked at Amy stiffly, then immediately lowered his eyes, completely gone without the politeness and alienation he had just now, which made Hugo feel a little funny.

"Yes, Jenny doesn't know the arrangement of VIP seats in the restaurant, so she's a little negligent." Amy said politely but enthusiastically, "Do I have the honor to lead the way for you and your female companion?"

Hugo did not answer immediately, but looked back at Sandra. Sandra shrugged with laughter and cry, and said, "That's trouble."

Amy walked into the restaurant with Hugo and Sandra and walked all the way to the inside along the wooden floor. She asked politely, "I wonder if you like to be close to the garden or to the windowsill?"

Hugo looked at Sandra again, and Sandra also felt Hugo's gentlemanly behavior and said with a smile, "I heard that the scenery here is beautiful. If there is a location close to the windowsill, it would be better."

There was no place to eat before, and now there is still a place to choose from. Hugo suddenly felt that he had not truly realized until today that the so-called spotlight life brought more additional effects than he thought. Is this one of the reasons why countless ordinary people dream of becoming celebrities? The social status improvement accompanied by the halo of fame and fortune.
