Superstar

Fortunately, this is a one-way street, so even if Hugo is crazy about it, he won’t get lost. Just follow the winding road all the way, but within a quarter of an hour, Hugo and Sandra arrived in the mountain city. Doorway.

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

"Good evening, welcome to Shancheng, do you have an appointment?" The receptionist standing at the door asked with a smile on his face.

Sandra naturally looked at Hugo, but Hugo paused, "Uh, sorry, there is no appointment. Is there no place now?" Since Hugo decided to come to the mountain city at the last minute, it was simply Too late to make an appointment. Moreover, after Hugo came to Los Angeles, there were not many opportunities to go out to eat. He never developed the habit of making appointments, and some habitually believed that it was enough to go directly in after arriving at the scene.

Faced with this situation, Hugo couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The wheat-colored cheeks were slightly red, which made Sandra stand beside him and couldn't help but laugh. The next words of the receptionist obviously made Hugo even more helpless, "Sorry, our seats are already full. If there is no reservation, it may take a while."

I don’t know why, Hugo suddenly remembered the Valentine’s Day disaster he mentioned in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. Every year’s Valentine’s Day is a disaster for men because they must remember this. On festivals, programs must be arranged next. But the problem is that everyone in the entire city rushes out to make appointments in restaurants, which makes it very difficult to make reservations for restaurants on Valentine's Day, and sometimes it may not be possible to make reservations to popular restaurants a week in advance. As a result, it will naturally lead to a turmoil.

Hugo didn't know why he suddenly remembered this incident, but it is undeniable that a man forgot to reserve a seat during a date. This is a very disappointing thing. You can't let a woman stand in the wind and wait for a seat. It's really rude.

Hugo didn't even dare to look at Sandra's eyes at this time. Although he could see that Sandra was not angry, but smiling, he still inevitably felt sorry. After all, he took the initiative to propose this date. If you wait, how long do you have to wait?"

This is not the peak time 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 two million.

"About three quarters of an hour." The receptionist said with a smile, but it made Hugo look earthy immediately, which was really bad.

Hugo took a deep breath, turned his head to think about Sandra, and calmly became his own mistake, "Sorry, I'm really sorry, my mistake." If you make a mistake, you have to admit that avoiding it is definitely not a good choice. , And this is their first date, this situation can be called the most terrible situation that no one wants to face.

Sandra didn't care too much, but blinked her eyes, "If you come with your sweetheart, this kind of thing won't happen, right?"

Being teased like this, Hugo was immediately amused, "No, if I date Sweetheart, I should choose a pizza restaurant or a pancake restaurant."

"Then I should still feel fortunate, at least there is still a difference in treatment." Sandra said with a smile.

The receptionist stood behind the reception desk, watching her nose, her nose and heart. She was obviously completely confused about the conversation between Hugo and Sandra, and she could only stand intently and motionless.

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

"That's all?" Sandra leaned back and raised her eyebrows in surprise, "I thought you would show the spirit of a man."

"Are you referring to this?" Hugo clenched his fist and waved it. This action made Sandra laugh violently, but Hugo touched his nose shyly, standing still. After thinking for a while, I looked at the receptionist again and asked in a deliberate tone, "As far as I know, every restaurant will have reserved seats. You know, reserved for VIP customers. I don’t know if we can take one. Where's the table?"

This is some news that Hugo has heard. In Los Angeles, where there are many stars and politicians, there are actually many people who arrive at the restaurant without an appointment, and many of them are big names. For example, if U.S. President William Clinton came to a restaurant for dinner without an appointment, but there was no seat, then the restaurant could not push Clinton out, or let Clinton wait at the door. In order to avoid this situation, the restaurant will have reserved seats, and there will be every day to ensure that the restaurant will not be rude when important people come.

This situation is even more numerous in Hollywood. Top stars appear in restaurants to dine. This is actually a kind of free publicity. Almost all restaurants are warmly welcome, so they can't push stars outside, they will only greet them with enthusiasm. . Of course, the so-called "stars" are also hierarchical, and this snobbery has left countless marks on Hollywood.

In fact, Hugo hesitated for a moment whether he should report his name to see if he could get a seat, but this is really not what Hugo’s character would do, not only pretending to be force, but also using his own mouth. Showing off one's achievements is strange just by imagining, so this idea just came out and was directly extinguished by Hugo.

The receptionist still smiled and said, "Today, our reserved seats are full. I'm really sorry. Or, you can leave your contact information and we will reserve a seat for dinner tomorrow. What do you think? "

Although the attitude of the receptionist 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 he was not qualified enough to enter the reserved seats. If he were replaced by other reporters or entertainers, his jaw would be dislocated in surprise, but for Hugo, he didn’t feel at all. It's awkward, because he has never felt that he is a "top star", and he doesn't think that his profession can bring him any privileges. This is evident from the fact that Hugo is willing to stand on the street and perform band performances.

Sandra looked at Hugo unexpectedly. The receptionist didn’t recognize Hugo. This incident made Sandra feel very unbelievable. Although she did not intend to borrow Hugo’s name to do anything, she still Feel surprised. You know, Hugo is now a hot figure in Hollywood. What surprised Sandra even more was that Hugo didn't mind at all. There was no such thing as a big star or temperament. Was it because Hugo was weak or because Hugo was broad-minded?

Just as Hugo and Sandra were about to leave, another person came up at the entrance. She smiled and bowed to Hugo and Sandra first, and then whispered something in the ear of the receptionist. , The receptionist immediately began to check 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, but when she came into contact with Hugo’s sight, she was completely shocked for an instant, and her whole attitude immediately became cordial and enthusiastic, "Good evening, may I ask if you are here for dinner? Is it?\"

"Uh...Yes, but I was told that there is no seat, and due to my negligence, I didn't make a reservation, so..." Hugo scratched his head in embarrassment, and cast an apologetic look at Sandra again. "It seems that we can only enjoy the night view of the City of Angels and the food of the mountain city again next time."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry, Mr. Lancaster." The woman bowed to express her apologies, and then walked directly to Hugo, "Good evening, I am the duty manager Amy of the restaurant, in fact, we are still VIPs. With reserved seats, if you don’t mind, you are very welcome in our restaurant."

Hugo looked at Amy in front of him. He didn't turn his mind for a while, and was stunned, "Uh, you mean, there is still a place?" Then he saw the receptionist standing aside immediately. Standing to the side in panic, gave Amy a stiff look, and then immediately lowered his eyes. The politeness and alienation he had just disappeared at all, which made Hugo feel a little funny.

"Yes, Jenny doesn't understand the arrangement of VIP seats in the restaurant, so she is a little negligent." Amy politely but warmly said, "May I have the honor to lead the way for you and your female partner?"

Hugo didn't answer immediately, but looked back at Sandra, who also shrugged dumbfoundingly, and said, "Then it will be troublesome."

Amy took Hugo and Sandra into the restaurant~www.readwn.com~ and walked along the wooden floor all the way in. She also politely asked, "I don’t know if you like being close to the garden, or Where is it near the window sill?"

Hugo glanced at Sandra again, Sandra also felt Hugo's gentleman's actions, and smiled and said, "I heard that the scenery here is very beautiful. If there is a place near the window sill, it would be great. ."

There was no place to dine before, and now there is still a place to choose from. Hugo suddenly felt that he has not really noticed until today that the so-called additional effects brought by the so-called spotlight life are far more than he imagined. Many, is this one of the reasons why countless ordinary people dream of becoming a star? The rise in social status accompanied by the aura of fame and wealth.

Perhaps this is the particularity of this job. On the one hand, I hope that I can be recognized by people, which is an affirmation of my work; but on the other hand, I hope that the spotlight will disappear sometimes, so that I can also have**. Just like everything in the world, everything is a combination of contradictions, but since you are already in it, there is no need to think too much, and there is no need to be too burdened, just calm down.
