Charlize knew that Hugo had come here today, and he was already very tired all the way, and he had to take into account his left leg knee, so at this time Hugo was completely tired and completely asleep, and he could even hear his even breathing. So, she didn't plan to wake Hugo, but at least let Cameron know that Hugo was fine.

So, Charlize picked up his phone, and Cameron's voice gradually became clear, "Hugo? Hey! Hugo! Charlize explained in a calm voice, "He's asleep." ”

This suddenly made Cameron panic, and she couldn't even restrain her incoherent speech, "That'...... So you ...... But...... He said...... Now ...... "Hugo clearly said that he would open a room again, but why is he asleep now?"

Charlize glanced at the back of Hugo's head, but his mind calmed down, thinking of everything that happened just now, and then thinking of the days when they lived together in Sunset Square before, the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth gently outlined, "Don't worry, Hugo and I are just friends." In a sense, he was just a woman to me, and I was just a man to him. You have to believe Hugo, he has no interest in men. ”

"You know I didn't mean that." Charlize's jokes didn't make Cameron laugh, she just felt that her mind was full of misguided thoughts. In fact, before the call, Cameron herself had been thinking about it for hours, and even the story had been made up in many versions, even the worst-case scenario she had already predetermined, and now Charlize's words should reassure her, but she had no way to calm down at all, "I mean, you two...... Hugo ...... In that case......"

Cameron said for a long time, but couldn't say a word, and then she heard Charlize say "That's it, good night", and then the phone was hung up. Cameron looked at the busy phone in his hand, his face was stunned, and finally he just whispered, "But...... But ...... "couldn't say anything after all, she wanted to believe Hugo, she should believe Hugo, but......

Charlize hung up the phone, put the phone on the bedside, looked back at the sleeping Hugo, and shook his head with a smile. This reminded her of the time when she used to be in Sunset Square, when she, Hugo and Alex used to chat in the living room until midnight, and it was very likely that one of them fell asleep first, only to be left on the couch by the other two and went back to sleep in their room. On several occasions, she herself woke up on the couch in the middle of the night and went back to her room in a daze.

Hugo always slept like a child, and sometimes even drooled on the pillow. For this, she and Alex laughed at Hugo several times, and even once again she and Alex painted Hugo's face, and the next morning the house was also a bustle.

Now, Hugo's sleeping habits have not changed, and Charlize wanted to laugh at the little shiny water stain on the corner of Hugo's mouth, she had to bite her lip, and then walked out of bed on tiptoe. Picking up a can of beer from the table, tiptoeing over to the windowsill and looking out at the endless vineyards, sip after sip.

At this time, Charlize also felt fatigue attacking, and she was actually tired all day today. After flying back to Los Angeles from New York in the morning, and after dealing with the media, she went to Endeavour Elite Agency again, and then sneaked to Mr. Perfect's apartment...... I've been running around all day, and now I just feel the sore muscles suddenly explode.

It wasn't until now that Charlize had time to clear his mind. In fact, deep down, she knew that there had always been a problem between her and Mr. Perfect, and she refused to take another step forward, while he always had an insecure inferiority complex.

This culminated in her acceptance of the "Devil's Advocate" script, followed by the success of "Romeo and Juliet" – not only for her acting skills, but also for the Berlinale. When all the contradictions reached their peak, she and he chose to avoid it, and then she went to New York to shoot "The Devil's Advocate...... And so it happened. Perhaps, Charlize had long expected this day to come, and she and he would eventually come to the end, but they did not expect it in such a way. He resolutely and resolutely said goodbye.

All of this was caught off guard.

Still, that's fine. Cut through the mess with a quick knife, cut everything in two, and tidy up thoroughly. After tonight, she can leave all her past behind in Napa and start her day. It's just that she doesn't like it this way, because it's as if all the fault is on her. As Hugo said, she has to learn not to trouble herself anymore.

Turning her head to look at Hugo who was sleeping peacefully, the corners of Charlize's mouth lightly outlined a smile, at least she had such a good friend as Hugo, which she would never lose, and no one else could take it away. It is enough to have a confidant in a lifetime, and people should not be too greedy.

Looking at the clock on the wall in the room, it was already three o'clock in the morning, and Charlize realized that it was a brand new day. This means that yesterday is a thing of the past, and all those bad worries are a thing of the past, truly history. Thinking of this, the corners of Charlize's mouth couldn't help but outline a smile, and there was unprecedented relief in his eyes.

With his legs curled up, Charlize poured the beer in his hand again, burped comfortably, and smirked, "Sure enough, I still like beer." ”

When Hugo woke up, he saw Charlize curled up on the windowsill asleep, leaning against the window, like a poor homeless man on the street. Looking back, the double bed he was lying on was still half empty, useless at all, just a pile of scattered beer bottles and cans, which was really too wasteful.

The corners of Hugo's mouth couldn't help but sketch a smile, and then he picked up a beer bottle and slammed it directly into the window. There was a crisp sound of "clang", and Charlize woke up directly, "What? What the? That hasty look made Hugo unable to hold back any longer, and he laughed directly.

Charlize then understood what was happening, and cast a disdainful glance at Hugo, "Are you six years old?" Then she picked up the beer can that was left on the windowsill and threw it at Hugo, not wanting to finish the beer in her hand - she had forgotten it all, and the beer had spilled all over her sleeve.

Hugo was already laughing until his stomach hurt, and he almost fell off the edge of the bed.

Charlize gritted his teeth in hatred, "Sorry, my bad, you're only three years old!" Then he took the beer can and trotted all the way into the bathroom, and when the door was closed, Hugo reacted, "Hey! Charlize! I'm going to use the bathroom, you don't want to be in there for too long. ”

It was dull for a while, and there was no sound, and then I heard Charlize laughing wildly inside, "Hahahaha." This was her answer to Hugo.

By the time the two of them got into the car, it was already past eleven o'clock, the sun overhead was extremely hot, and the endless vineyards were unfolding in sight, and the scenery was breathtaking. Charlize saw Hugo walking towards the driver's seat, and then he greeted Hugo and pulled Hugo back, "Give me the key." "They decided to drive the Hugo retro car, because the paparazzi hadn't photographed it yet, so Charlize's car would stay here and then send someone to drive back.

Hugo shrugged, "I'm fine, I drove it myself yesterday." ”

"I have something to do, I don't dare to sit in your car." Charlize rolled his eyes and snatched the car keys from Hugo. Charlize knows that Hugo is fine, but yesterday Hugo drove for too long, even if he has no psychological barrier now, but things have to come step by step, and it is more appropriate for her to drive today.

"Hey, ma'am, you know, driving rights are dignity for a man." Hugo argued unwillingly in the back.

"Not for you." Charlize didn't have to look back to know that Hugo was now with a depressed expression, and she explained in a loud voice, "I'll drive to Pasadena, you drop me off, and then you drive back to Long Beach yourself." Charlize walked over to the driver's seat, "I don't want to be photographed by the paparazzi, and then another group of people came up and asked me how Hugo was doing on a date." For God's sake, how do I know. ”

Hugo was also amused by Charlize's vivid words, and without arguing about the right to drive, he opened the passenger seat and sat in. Charlize also got into the car, fastened his seatbelt, and complained, "I can't imagine the media excitement when we were photographed by the paparazzi like this." ”

Hugo looked at the white T-shirt with "Palm Tree" on Charlize - the one in the motel closet like he was, in other words...... Couple's outfit. Then he burst out laughing, "Don't worry, I'll pour a bottle of ketchup on my clothes later, and it will look much better." ”

"Of course, if you want to stand on the side of the road and provoke flies." Charlize began to reverse and complained without looking back. Obviously, Charlize has recovered, and yesterday's collapse of the sky has completely vented all the negative emotions in his heart. Sometimes, tears are the best medicine.

Driving all the way back from Napa Town, the beautiful scenery on both sides makes the eyes never tired, even if it's just quietly looking out the window, it makes the trip interesting. Pasadena seemed to be there in the blink of an eye, and Charlize parked his car over a random neighborhood that looked like a passing tourist.

"Be careful on the way back and don't get caught by the paparazzi. I'll call you again if there's something to do. Charlize said simply and casually, causing Hugo to chuckle and ask, "Are you sure you don't need me to ask Rick to come and pick you up?" ”

Charlize shrugged, "I'm an adult, an adult man, and trust me, Pasadena is not the Amazon. With that, Charlize opened the car door and left freely.

Hugo sat in the passenger seat, watching the back of Charlize leaving, she was wearing a simple white T-shirt and jeans, holding a black jacket and a shoulder bag in her hands, and her long blond hair was tied in a ponytail at random, looking no different from any young college student, and just strode forward into a cloud of sunshine.
