Heath stepped out of the back door of the bus and looked around uneasily. At this time, Malibu has faintly seen the prototype of a resort, with spacious streets and neat pavement, tall palm trees, dense grass, and bright flowers slowly extending on both sides of the road, and the single-family villas appear clean and long, neatly arranged under the navy blue sky, and the sea level still retains the majesty of the sunset, so that the whole town reveals a kind of comfort in the quiet.

There was no one on either side of the street, and Heath looked back and forth in a bit of a daze, not knowing which direction to go, for all the houses here seemed to look equally luxurious, and he was at a loss.

At this moment, a young woman was holding a Samoyed in her hand and jogging along the road at an unhurried pace in the direction of His. Hiss hesitated, "I'm sorry...... the woman didn't hear, "I'm sorry", Hiss raised her voice, "Sorry to bother you, I...... I just wanted to ask, where is Mr. Lancaster's house? ”

"Hugo?" The woman stopped, looked at the nervous Hiss, and smiled, "You go straight along this road, and then you can see a house not far away, with all kinds of cars parked at the door, and many reporters with cameras, the house they are photographing, that's it." ”

"Thank you...... Thank you. Heath said stiffly, and the woman nodded kindly, "I hope you have a good night." After saying that, he continued to jog away, and Heath hesitated, and couldn't help but raise his voice and say, "You too." ”

After watching the woman jog away, Heath took two steps forward, but then looked down at his suit again, and couldn't help but pull nervously twice. This is the only formal suit he wears for the audition, but it still looks very shabby, and he sent it to dry cleaning yesterday, but when he took the bus just now, it was still crumpled. This annoyed Hiss a little.

After trying to tidy up for a while, but nothing improved, Heath could only take another step, and as he went, he kept looking at his suit, and he couldn't believe that he was going to visit Hugo in such a face.

But Heath didn't have time to get frustrated any longer, and after walking less than five minutes before he felt the heat rush over his face, and then he saw six middle-aged men with cameras on their backs, talking and laughing, walking towards the SUV across the street, not like reporters, but for a bonfire. After walking a dozen or so steps, he saw the villa in front of him, surrounded by countless camera lenses.

Hiss hesitated, it was only eight o'clock at this time, and the invitation said that it was eight o'clock, and generally the party must be late, and it would not start to be lively until after ten o'clock. But...... But it was Hugo's party, and he wasn't sure if it was right to be late, so he came on time anyway.

Looking left and right, Hiss finally walked up hard, and only then did he walk into the street, and the eyes of all the reporters were projected, and this feeling of focus made Hiss feel that something was wrong all over his body, and he couldn't help but bow his head slightly, and then continued to move forward. When he walked up the steps on the other side towards the wooden fence of the villa, the exclamation was clearly audible, "Oh! In an instant, he could feel almost all the cameras focused on him - though the shutter was still not pressed.

It made Hiss so nervous that he wanted to throw up.

"Sir! Sir, you can't go in. A polite voice came, which made Hiss react, and when he saw a man in front of him step forward to stop him from continuing his steps, Hiss realized that not anyone could enter.

It was only then that Heath saw what was in front of him, and there was a small garden with a small flower bed and a swing, and a long table next to it, which was filled with pizza and beer. At this time, five waiters were busy inside, handing food to the reporters who came to cover the news. Coupled with the one at the door, these six waiters are obviously also responsible for guarding the door.

"Sir, this is a private party, do you have an invitation?" The waiter asked politely, still smiling.

Heath breathed a sigh of relief, the other party didn't expel him directly because he didn't know him, which gave him some confidence, "Yes, I, I have an invitation." Hiss tried to pull the invitation out of his suit-lined pocket, but his fingers began to tremble, so much so that he couldn't take it out after two attempts. Hiss smiled apologetically at the waiter in front of him, but the waiter was still not in a hurry, which made Hiss feel a little relieved, and finally took out the invitation after the third effort, and then handed it to the waiter.

Heath looked at the waiter's expression a little nervously, although the nerd said that he was Samora Casvi that day, but who knows, anyway, he didn't know what Hugo's assistant was, so he wasn't sure if the invitation was real or not, if it was fake, then ...... "Sir, welcome to tonight's party", before Heath continued to think about it, the waiter's polite voice sounded again, "Mr. Lancaster is waiting for you, I hope you can have a good time tonight." ”

"Oh, oh! Of course, thank you. I mean, uh, thanks. Hiss was a little incoherent, withdrew the invitation, and then walked away in a daze.

In an instant, all the flashing lights were lit up, and the continuous light made Hiss almost think that his retina was about to fall off, and the pouring heat even made him feel like a suckling pig on a barbecue grill, this feeling made Hiss unable to resist at all, so he walked forward in a panic, quickly pushed open the wooden fence door, and then walked all the way down the wooden staircase, without having time to look at the surrounding scene, he walked to the bottom as if he had escaped, and then he came back to his senses, and breathed rapidly with palpitations, Looking back at the staircase, I was relieved to make sure that the reporters hadn't flocked up.

As soon as he looked back, Hiss felt like Alice had entered a strange world, and everything seemed so incredible in front of him, with endless views of the sea, fragrant barbecue grills, sparkling outdoor pools, a variety of buffet tables, neatly stacked champagne towers, and neatly dressed waiters...... Everything was beautiful in the hazy lemon glow, like a perfect dream.

"Good evening, sir." A waiter with a champagne came up and said, "Is there anything I can do to help you?" ”

"Uh, I...... Please give me a glass of champagne. In fact, Heath originally wanted to say that he was not yet twenty-one years old and could not drink, but his heart, which had almost reached his throat, made him unable to calm down, so he changed his words. Then the waiter brought the plate forward slightly, and Heath took a glass from it, and then the waiter smiled politely and nodded, and turned to leave.

Heath looked at the star-like glass of champagne in his hand, and was almost reluctant to drink it.

At this time, it was only eight o'clock, and only the waiters were busy in the entire villa, and there was not a single guest in sight. Heath was a little dazed, he had never been to such an upper-class party, and he didn't know what he should do, hesitantly, he took a few steps along the pool, and his eyes were drawn to the living space behind the blackstone wine cabinet - was that where Hugo usually lived?

Unable to contain his curiosity, Hiss took a step, approaching step by step, almost greedily looking at the furnishings inside, "Forgive my rudeness, the guests have arrived, but my master has not come out to greet them. A voice woke Hiss from his dream, almost unable to hold his champagne glass, and when he looked back, he saw Hugo with a sunny smile coming down the stairs.

"Oh God, oh, God......" Hiss only felt that his breathing was about to stop, and he screamed frantically in his heart, but no sound came out of his throat. Hugo strode up to him, he could see the smile on Hugo's lips and a closed mouth, but he didn't know what Hugo was talking about, "I'm sorry, I'...... I got the invitation letter from Mr. Casvi and I came early...... Oh, that, I'm, I'm Heath Ledger, from Australia...... Actor, I'm an actor now. Sorry, really sorry...... Oh, God. ”

Hiss felt that it was all a disaster, he didn't know what he was talking about, he didn't know what he should say, he just felt that everything was like a derailed train, completely out of control.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Heath-Ledger, and I'm the host of tonight's party, Hugo, and welcome you to my party." Hugo chuckled, with a hint of amusement but no sarcasm, and looked at the young man in front of him earnestly, and then stretched out his right hand.

Heath looked at Hugo's right hand in front of him, but he didn't know what to do, then he looked up and saw Hugo's gaze, and found that Hugo's eyes cast a light of encouragement, he quickly stretched out his hand and held Hugo's right hand, "Mr. Lancaster, I like your work very much." No, I mean, it's an honor to be able to come to your party. My invitation was given to me by Mr. Casvi, and I didn't get in on my own. ”

"Yes, I believe you." Hugo smiled brightly, "You can see that you are very punctual." Heaton was stunned by this remark, and Hugo hurriedly said, "I mean positive, you know, I've always been curious, why does everyone like to be late for parties?" ”

"Because you want to wait until everyone is drunk before you show up?" Heath said hesitantly.

"Maybe that's the right answer." For the first time, the smile on Heath's lips really bloomed.

God, it's going to be a wonderful, long, unforgettable night! Heath was convinced of one thing.
