Chapter 29 029 Telephone Invitation
Charlize stood on the edge of the window sill, put his right leg up, and then sat down with simple leg pressing movements, one after another, adjusting his breathing while doing the movements, each of which was so serious and careful. Although she left ballet because of her knee injury, it does not mean that she no longer loves ballet. On the contrary, she still adheres to the habit she started to develop at the age of six every day. It is not only the residual thoughts of ballet, but also can Act as a sculptor.
At this moment, the phone on the wall at the door of the kitchen rang, and the uninterrupted ringing kept ringing in the room. Charlize looked back at the empty living room. It was obvious that no one wanted to come out to answer the phone. She couldn't help shouting, "Tera! Tera! Answer the phone."
In the bedroom on the right, a tall, curvaceous black woman trotted out on tiptoe. She complained to Charlize, "You are clearly here", but she walked briskly to the phone and picked it up. , "Hello, this is Tyra. Banks, who am I talking to?"
This woman named Tara has a beautiful face, and the three-dimensional facial features inherit the advantages of African-American blacks, but at the same time, those talking eyes make her sweeter. At this time, she simply wore a set of white underwear, which clearly showed the advantages of her figure.
Charlize didn't know Tyra until she came to Los Angeles. Tyra is also a professional model now. She entered the industry in 1990, but in the past two years, Tyra's modeling career has not improved much, although she was born The conditions are very outstanding, but now the United States uses very few black models, the whole species. clan. The issue of discrimination has never been resolved, which makes Tyra very frustrated.
Since the careers of the two have not developed, they can only rent a house together and use the rent-sharing method to relieve the economic pressure. Usually, Tyra is a woman with a very clear personality and loves to joke. Although she and Charlize have not known each other for a long time, the relationship between the two is still very good. This is very rare, especially when two women from the same industry live under the same roof, and there is no intrigue and vicious competition between the two, which is really not common.
"Well... yes, she is... no problem..." Tyra communicated with the other party over the phone, but she kept looking at Charlize with a smile when she spoke, which made Charlize feel inexplicable, she originally I was going to continue my practice, but I was scolded by Tara. Looking at it with ignorant eyes, there was no way to practice properly, so he stared back and asked "what" with his eyes.
Tyra took the receiver off, and while looking at Charlize, she shouted deliberately, "Charlie, Sally, your call is from Mr. Hugo Lancaster... Sally!"
Charlize's goosebumps fell all over the floor at Terra's coquettish voice. She angrily took her right foot off the window sill, and then trotted all the way on tiptoe, viciously snatching the microphone from Terra's hand, I didn't want Terra but said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'm going to give it to you." Charlize kicked her foot when she lifted her foot. Terra said, "Ouch, shy" and turned towards the sofa. Run away from Charlize's attack range, and then repeatedly motion to Charlize to quickly answer the phone.
Charlize didn't want to answer the phone under Tyra's surveillance, otherwise she would have no peace after the phone hung up, but Charlize found that Tyralay was unwilling to leave on the sofa, and she could only helplessly in the end. Gritting his teeth and stomping his feet, he said into the microphone in a slightly irritable voice, "This is Charlize talking."
Such a real voice suddenly startled Tara, who was watching the lively next to her. She only had to imagine the expression on the other end of the phone, and she rolled on the sofa happily. Generally, girls tend to be a little more ladylike when answering a guy's phone call. If it is a favorite person, then the tone and rhythm of speaking will obviously have a big change from usual. Charlize's real performance is indeed different.
Hugo was on the other end of the phone, and when he heard Charlize's voice, he couldn't help but stunned, hehe laughed, "It seems that I chose the wrong time."
Charlize also realized that there was something wrong with his tone just now, and couldn't help but glared at Terra, but it would be too fake to change the tone of voice at this time, so Charlize simply used his original voice to speak again, anyway. When she met Hugo for the first time, she did not deliberately hide her true self, "No, it's just that when you called, my roommate started to make a fuss, thinking that we both had something to do and winked at me."
Facing Charlize's frankness, Hugo laughed heartily, "Perhaps in her opinion, there is no pure friendship between men and women."
"Maybe there are other reasons. For example, our daily life is so boring, so there are countless versions of any little thing." The smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth could not help but outline, but Tyra was lying on the sofa. Deputy girl pregnant. Chun's expression was really annoying, so Charlize had to take the microphone cord and walk into the kitchen, so that she could not see it. As a result, Tara's hearty laughter on the sofa made Charlize's cheeks inexplicably hot. : Even if it's nothing to be disturbed by Terra, it becomes something.
"You don't have a job right now?" Hugo picked up the landline, walked from the direction of the bedside table to the only window in the room and sat down.
It is still in the early 1990s. Although mobile phones have already been put into the market, the penetration rate is not high. Ordinary people can afford it; and the mobile phone is subject to signal problems, and the communication quality is not good, so it has not been widely promoted.
The first week Hugo passed through was very unaccustomed. Computers and networks were not developed here, not even mobile phones. It made Hugo feel as if he had returned to a primitive society. He almost had computer addiction in the 21st century. Or for people with mobile phone dependence, it is definitely a torment.
But the adaptability of human beings is always amazing. It took less than ten days for Hugo to get used to it. After getting used to living without a computer or a mobile phone, Hugo now finds it very convenient, especially since there is no radiation on landlines. The problem, without making the ears hot, makes Hugo very satisfied.
Charlize also leaned on the edge of the kitchen sink, "No. Not only today, but also tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. Life in Los Angeles is so leisurely, I didn't think of it before I left New York." With a mocking and self-deprecating tone, Hugo couldn't help laughing out loud.
"That's great. I want to invite you to dinner, so you won't have an excuse to say no?" Hugo said with a smile.
Charlize couldn't help pursing his lips, with a funny smile on his face, "Hugo, this, is this a date?" In fact, the last time we met, Charlize was willing to give Hugo his phone number, just do I was mentally prepared, but there was no news about Hugo for a week or so, and Charlize thought he guessed wrong. At the end of the disappointment, Hugo's call came, much to Charlize's surprise.
Facing Charlize's straightforwardness, Hugo realized that in Western culture, dinner dates are very formal, but he didn't feel that way before, he just wanted to ask Charlize about his agent. Just came out to eat, but ended up at this point.
"If I say yes, will you agree?" Hugo's mellow voice came through the telephone receiver. This sentence made Charlize's heart beat a little messy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth revealed her happy mood at this time. Then Hugo went on to say, "Of course, if you wish it wasn't, then it isn't, because I think your willingness to come out and have dinner with me is the most important thing."
Charlize was amused by Hugo's sarcastic frankness, which made him laugh out loud. Maybe it was the reason why the two had an oolong when they met for the first time, so the two always had a relaxed attitude when they talked. Feeling comfortable, but less careful between men and women.
"As long as I don't pay for it." Charlize said with a smile, a hint of playfulness flashed in his eyes. As soon as these words came out, there was a stomping sound at the door. Charlize looked up and saw Tara jumping her feet anxiously for her. She was obviously very dissatisfied with her reply just now, and she was shouting silently. Author: How can you talk about money with a date!
But at the same time, Hugo's warm laughter came from the receiver, mixed with the setting sun projected in the kitchen, like a cup of mellow coffee rising up, "Don't worry, I will save the AA system for the second time. The first time we met." A joke made Charlize laugh out loud, and the silver bell-like laughter also shed countless rays of light in the sun.
"So, Pacific. Dining. Car, eight o'clock in the evening, okay?" Hugo said immediately, and Charlize's confirmation voice quickly came from the other side of the phone, "No problem, tonight See you." Then Hugo heard a girl's playful voice on the phone, which made Hugo burst into laughter.
Hugo currently has no friends in Los Angeles, and he doesn't know anyone except Joseph. He has no way to share the joy of his successful audition for "Scent of a Woman" with anyone. Although Charlize has only one relationship, it is at least a little better than strangers, and the first meeting of the two people was very happy, so Hugo also followed Karl-Earl and invited Charlize to have dinner together, It's a simple celebration.
On the other side of the phone, Charlize hung up the phone, and Tyra rushed towards Charlize, "Sally! You are going out to dinner with Hugo, that super handsome guy! Sally, take him down, Take him down!"
Charlize couldn't stand Tyra's enthusiasm, and said in tears, "Tera, are you sure it's me, not you, who is eating with the handsome guy?"
