Chapter 17 017 Oolong Acquaintance

"Coffee." Charlize tapped the coffee cup in front of Hugo with her slender fingers, and a bright smile hung on the corner of her mouth, "Can you still eat here?" Charlize's words embarrassed the rain again. Once the eyes of the two met, they couldn't help laughing.

Hugo has forgotten that it is 1992. Although Starbucks was established in 1971, it was not until 1987 that it was acquired by Howard Schultz (Howard. Schultz), which opened a dynasty of global chains. The current Starbucks is far less huge than it was a decade later, and it can only be regarded as a fast-rising chain coffee shop in the United States. Therefore, Charlize's evaluation of Starbucks is very correct.

Although Hugo made a series of embarrassing embarrassments just now, he quickly recovered, letting all the embarrassment and embarrassment quietly resolved in the smile on the corner of his mouth, and lightly bit his lower lip, "Of course, coffee." Nodding slightly Nodding, Hugo raised his eyes and looked directly at Charlize, "I wonder if I can buy you a cup of coffee?"

Charlize looked at Hugo's clear eyes like lake water, the smile on the corner of his mouth paused for a moment, and then it bloomed even more brilliantly, "Yes. Mamba, no sugar, thank you."

"Mamba? Excellent choice." Hugo stood up with a smile, nodded slightly to Charlize, and then walked towards the store. Mamba coffee (Mandheling. Brazil), which is a kind of coffee prepared by Mandheling coffee and Brazilian coffee, is aromatic and delicious, but strong and flavorful, and Charlize does not add sugar, so you can see some Charlie It's character.

After Hugo walked into the interior of the store, he first stood at the door and let out a long sigh to calm himself down. Hugo realized that whether it was seeing Brad at the last audition, or meeting Charlize, who was still in the modeling industry, by accident, he seemed a little fussy, completely like a crazy groupie.

Although Hugo knew that this was inevitable, after all, he was still rolling in the domestic underground rock music industry a few days ago. Today, he saw people who could only be seen on the screen one after another. This is really hard to adapt to. , but Hugo also knows that he has to adapt, because he is rolling in this industry now, and he will see more legendary characters in the future. If he is shocked every time he sees a big star, he probably can't stand it himself. .

Taking a step back, Hugo walked to the counter and ordered a Mamba coffee for Charlize. After thinking about it, he still stood by and waited without going out. It was not until the clerk brewed the coffee and filled it in a paper cup that Hugo took the coffee and walked out.

Pushing open the brown glass door, Hugo saw Charlize sitting next to the coffee table at a glance. At this moment, Charlize supported his chin with his right hand, and his long golden hair slid down smoothly down his shoulders. Dense ivy was climbing on the neatly arranged palm trees on the boulevard, and the sun shone through the lush branches and leaves. A golden veil draped over Charlize's body with a spot of light like broken gold. Charlize in front of her is like an elf girl living quietly in the woods, smart and beautiful.

Hugo could even clearly see Charlize's slender eyelashes flapping gently in the sunlight like butterfly wings, and the shadows of the tips of her hair, eyelashes, and bridge of her nose made her facial features more three-dimensional. Suddenly, she seemed to have noticed something, raised her eyes, and turned around to see Hugo standing at the door of Starbucks, her eyelashes raised, and the laziness between her brows formed a halo in the sunlight, and the corners of her mouth The smile was drawn like this, making people suddenly hold their breath.

In fact, the current Charlize is only seventeen years old, and she is not the beautiful goddess in Hugo's memory at all. The current Charlize is still relatively young, and the temperament of a girl makes her look more down-to-earth. But at this time, Charlize's facial features have basically grown, and the charm of his eyebrows and eyes has a little power, and it is indeed very beautiful in the reflection of the golden light.

No wonder Carl gave Charlize his business card anyway! Hugo sighed again.

But this time Hugo's reaction didn't stop. Seeing Charlize's smile, he responded with a smile, then raised the coffee in his hand slightly, and walked towards the seat.

Charlize looked at Hugo in front of him. His tall and straight body, stretched muscles, and handsome face were almost impossible to look directly at in the dazzling sunlight. Those amber eyes seemed to be clear. The lake surface at the bottom shone brightly in the sunlight projected without any obstacle. When the smile on the corner of the mouth was outlined, the warm and heart-warming splendor bloomed like this. Charlize couldn't help being a little lost.

"Hey, your coffee." Hugo looked at Charlize's dazed expression, put the coffee in front of her, called out with a smile, and sat down opposite Charlize.

Charlize's eyes fell with Hugo, "Did someone say you're charming?"

"You're the first one today." Hugo's answer made Charlize roll back and forth with laughter, like a blooming lily.

Charlize picked up the coffee and took a sip. The sourness of Mamba coffee with a bitter taste bloomed on the tip of her tongue. She couldn't help lowering her eyes and savoring it carefully, and then she looked back with satisfaction. After asking the handsome man on the opposite side, "So, you are an actor?" After asking the question, Charlize realized his rudeness, and quickly added, "I came to Los Angeles not long ago, to be precise, I haven't been in the United States for a long time. I don't know much about it. I just heard Carl say your name, so..."

Although Hugo doesn't know much about English, he can still hear that Charlize's English is slightly different from the accent he's heard recently. Thinking about Charlize's South African, English is her second language, Afrikaans is her native language, so Charlize's explanation is no surprise.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Hugo showed a shallow smile, and the tenderness in his eyes shone with stars in the sun, "Yes, I am an actor, but my current performance is not very good, even if you come here A little longer, I guess you still don't know me." This was also the first time that no one mentioned the Golden Raspberry Award in front of Hugo since he crossed over, which was really good. "By the way, my name is Hugo Lancaster."

"Charlize Theron." The little girl in front of her looked at Hugo's warm smile, and her smile softened, "I only came to the United States a year ago and originally wanted to become a ballet dancer in New York. , Unfortunately, my knee was injured, and my mother asked me to come to Los Angeles to try my luck, and now I am working as a model."

Although there were only a few words, Hugo could hear the hardships of Charlize's life in the United States, which was also the biggest feeling Hugo had felt in the short period of time after crossing over. Don't look at the stars on the big screen, not to mention how much effort these actors need to put in the spotlight, just say that there are still tens of thousands of actors in Los Angeles who are struggling to be able to star in a work. Struggling, you know how cruel an industry this is. Models are more difficult than actors.

"Trust me, I'm not a bad person, you can tell me everything about you, trust me." Hugo's ridicule made the heaviness of Charlize's words just disappear, and both of them laughed softly.

"So, do you know the manager just now?" Charlize also realized that she and Hugo had only met for less than ten minutes. Her self-introduction just now really leaked too much information, so she immediately changed the subject.

"Oh, yes, I know him, his name is Karl Earl, and he's an agent." Hugo pretended to be lofty, Charlize also showed an expectant expression and waited for the next, but Hugo shrugged, " Isn't that enough?" It turned out that he didn't know anything about Karl either. Charlize understood that she had been teased by Hugo, and bit her lower lip angrily and amusingly, with an unwilling expression, which made Hugo completely overjoyed.

"It was just a joke just now." Hugo said quickly, he took out Carl's business card from his pocket and read it carefully, "Oh, he is an agent under the International Innovation Management Company, great, so am I. from a company. If you need it, I can ask you about it and verify his identity."

Charlize also looked at Carl's business card in her hand, nodded and said, "Really? That would be better." Then she raised her head and looked at Hugo again, "I mean, since I'm in reality You can't be a ballerina in life, maybe I can do it on the big screen, can't I?"

Hugo pursed his lips, "I doubt it." Charlize was stunned for a moment, showing a stunned expression. Hugo laughed immediately, "Unless you're willing to use a stand-in, don't you? So I think you'd better try to be a good actor, it's more realistic."

Charlize immediately understood what Hugo meant. Even as a ballerina on the big screen, her injured knee was still a problem. , which is more realistic.

After thinking about this, Charlize looked at Hugo differently. She couldn't help but look deeply at the handsome man in front of her. Hugo was seen a little abnormally and looked down at her shirt, "I didn't. Drip coffee on your clothes?"

Charlize laughed again and shook his head, "No, no, you're fine." After laughing, Charlize continued, "It's just that you're different from most men." When other men discussed these issues, only They will blindly flatter and agree, and will not really think at all, because their lower bodies occupy their heads. But Hugo was different. He was always serious during the conversation, especially those gentle eyes.

"Is this a good thing?" Hugo deliberately showed a worried expression. "You know, I was embarrassed when we met just now. If I didn't change my impression after the conversation, it would be a very bad thing."

This sentence made Charlize laugh again. She couldn't remember the first time she smiled during the conversation between the two. "Who knows? I can't guarantee it."

Hugo showed an annoyed expression, but the words that followed were irrelevant, "That's the only way, tell me your phone number, and I'll call you after I've inquired about Carl's affairs. ."

Charlize looked at Hugo in front of him, his smile blooming brighter and brighter.
