By the time Hugo hiked back to the villa again, the hour hand had already passed half past one, and the party had really come to a climax, and everyone was in a selfless revelry. The whole party even went down the road outside the villa, where a group of people and paparazzi were dancing, and then a large group of people were fighting in the small garden next to it.

Seeing this scene, Hugo couldn't help frowning slightly, because the situation seemed to be a little out of control, and this was not the expected scene. But at random, he saw Joseph walking over quickly, with a relieved expression on his face, "You're finally back." Joseph looked behind Hugo again, "What about Charlize?" ”

Hugo shook his head, and simply replied, "Go back." Then he looked at the chaos on the street, "What's going on?" ”

Joseph pointed to the man who was shouting in the garden, "It's all right, with his help, the situation is under control." Rick had everything arranged. "That person was Dawes Carter, the paparazzi who worked with Hugo in the Michael Jackson Clearings Case.

Hugo didn't remember his name, but he did recognize his face. Although his brain was still in chaos at this time, he vaguely understood what Joseph meant. Probably because there was an accident at the party just now, Rick controlled the scene in time to avoid the paparazzi speculating wildly and making news, so as to avoid further complicating things.

Hugo took a deep breath, nodded at Joseph, and re-entered the villa in his company. This time, Hugo's appearance did not attract too many people's attention, mainly because the party was now in full swing, many people were completely drunk, and the deafening sound made almost everyone forget.

Although Hugo really wanted to be quiet and enjoy his own space at this time, he knew that it was impossible, and there were so many things to deal with in this party tonight. So, Hugo came to the bar, asked for a glass of whiskey, and poured it directly into his stomach.

The alcohol burned from his throat all the way to his stomach, lifting Hugo's whole spirits, and the raging fire in his chest reinvigorated him. Turning around, he saw Kevin Spacey, who smiled at Hugo and then raised his voice to the bartender, "Please give me a double whisky, no ice, thank you." ”

Kevin leaned against the bar, as if nothing had happened, just chatting casually, "Curtis has already met with Kim and Cameron separately, and by the way, Nicole is here too." Obviously, Kim's performance has won everyone's hearts. Kevin was calm and didn't have any deliberate expressions, and he couldn't tell whether his attitude towards Curtis was for or against.

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth and showed a shallow smile, "Until the last minute, things will always change, and this is Hollywood, isn't it?" ”

This made Kevin laugh too, and then the whiskey handed over by the bartender was raised towards Hugo in respect. Kevin turned around and was about to leave, but he seemed to remember something, and then looked back again, "By the way, I just heard that Steven and you hid in a private place for a private conversation, and it seems that the media is going to start to buzz again recently." With that, Kevin turned and left.

This is what Kevin is hinting at Hugo, and Rick is using this reason to explain Hugo's disappearance. Regardless of the truth that everyone has witnessed, at least the apparent truth is this. Hugo took a deep breath, then turned around and greeted the guest again, shouldering the responsibilities of the host.

Cameron has been searching for Hugo's figure, she is always absent-minded, even for the audition of "Los Angeles Confidential", she seems to be out of her mind, there are countless thoughts tumbling in her mind, for a while she blames herself, thinking that she should not be so reckless, should not interfere in Charlize's love life, and should not choose Charlie Sheen casually; But after a while, she convinced herself that she hadn't done anything wrong, that she had just introduced new friends to Charlize, and that nothing had happened just now anyway; After thinking about it, she began to be angry again, if it weren't for the so-called "friendship" between Hugo and Charlize that was always suspicious, how could she be cranky, and even Hugo left the party just now and followed Charlize directly......

Countless thoughts were racing in his mind, and Cameron had no way to calm down. Then, Cameron found Hugo in the crowd, she couldn't wait to walk over and grabbed Hugo's arm fiercely, "Hugo, Hugo, we need to talk!" ”

Hugo looked back at Cameron with a distraught face, patted her on the shoulder, then turned to Robert Downey and his wife, who were standing nearby, and said with a smile, "I hope it's not something wrong with the cellar, or the party will be ruined." ”

One sentence made Robert laugh, and then winked at Hugo, "There is no sea." Lowe. Because that's enough of a bad thing, if there is no more alcohol, then the party will be ruined. ”

Faced with this playful joke, Hugo didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile awkwardly, then pointed to the side and apologized, "I'll take my leave for the time being." Then he walked to the side with Cameron. Cameron didn't have the heart to look at Robert at all, he just took Hugo's hand and opened his mouth to explain, but when he saw Johnny Depp and his female companion Kate Moss coming over, Hugo could only whisper, "We'll talk about it later, okay?" ”

Cameron looked up at Hugo's clear amber eyes, but at this time she was hiding in those thick eyelashes little by little, like a misty lake, she bit her lower lip slightly, wanting to say something, but was interrupted by Johnny's voice, "Hey man, tonight is your party, but I'm only seeing you for the first time now." Cameron took a deep breath, realizing that now was not the right time to talk, so she pulled herself together and looked at Johnny.

As the night wore on, the party crept to a climax, and then slowly began to calm down. At about three o'clock, the party was still going on, but there were less than fifty people left, most of whom had already left, either going home, or meeting friends, and then looking for private space...... The ones who really stay at the party are the ones who are really familiar with them. The noise calmed down little by little, and the emptiness and loneliness after the noise and prosperity reverberated quietly in the raging sea breeze.

Cameron pushed open the room on the second floor, only to see Leonardo lying alone in bed. He glanced back at Cameron and whispered, "Sorry, my head really hurts and I've been lying here for a while." I'll get up now. Cameron waved his hand again and again, and explained in a panic, "It's okay, the guest room is being cleaned by Samora now, and I don't know who vomited there just now." ”

Leonardo glanced up at Cameron, looked at her and was about to turn away, and said at the last moment, "Hugo is on the third floor, study." ”

Cameron bit his lip lightly and pulled out a forced smile, "You can rest." Then he closed the door again and went up to the third floor.

Standing at the door of the study, the time to explain had come, but Cameron suddenly began to be timid, she wanted to turn around and run away, she didn't want to face Hugo, she didn't want to explain. That fear almost made Cameron collapse. However, after turning around, Cameron remembered the cold war between the two of them, and had an argument because of the "Stormy" world tour, she hid in her study and refused to listen to Hugo's explanation, but the facts proved her wrong.

Cameron forced herself to suppress the panic in her heart, turned around again, hesitated and hesitated, as if a century had passed, and even the last bit of noise downstairs gradually subsided, and she raised her hand and knocked lightly on the door. The crisp sound echoed in the villa, and there was an inexplicable panic.

There was no sound in the study, Cameron bit her lip tightly, trying to twist the doorknob, originally she thought it would be locked, but in fact it didn't, with a slight twist, the door lock opened, and then pushed it inside, and the study door was opened with a "squeak".

Walking into the study, the floor was full of cold moonlight, and the lights were not turned on, but the whole room was extremely bright, just revealing a layer of coolness. Cameron pressed the switch on the door, the warm yellow light spilled down, and all the moonlight quickly disappeared out of the window as if the tide was receding, and the faint warmth slowly spread throughout the room, and then Cameron saw Hugo.

Hugo sat beside the wooden table with a mug in front of him, and nothing else, Hugo just sat quietly in place, as if lost in thought. The indoor lights were turned on, Hugo looked up, there were not too many complicated things in his sight, still that clear eyes, and then pursed his lips and whispered, "Are all the guests down there leaving?" ”

Hugo's voice was a little hoarse, which made Cameron empty and extremely flustered, trying to cling to something, but he couldn't grasp anything. Cameron walked briskly to his desk and sat down across from Hugo, "I'm sorry. Hugo's mouth still had that familiar smile on his lips, but Cameron felt like never before, the alienation hidden behind this gentleman's smile made her unable to understand what Hugo was thinking, Hugo was sitting in front of her, but it seemed that he couldn't touch anything.

Cameron only bit his lower lip, reached out and grabbed Hugo's hands on the table, holding them tightly, but the familiar warmth did not come, "Hugo, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to, I'm sorry, I mean it." Cameron's voice echoed softly in the study, and even the subtle tremor in her voice could be heard, so vulnerable to the faint noise downstairs.
