Neil wiped the sweat from his forehead and trotted all the way into Hugo's villa, leaving the paparazzi behind him outside the door, the noise was also blocked, and the sea breeze on his face suddenly became refreshing, and his fatigue was reduced a lot unconsciously.

Since they only stayed in Los Angeles for two nights and then had to go back to Europe, they stayed in Hugo's villa in Malibu en masse. As soon as he arrived, everyone was in the dust, and Neil chose to go out for a jog to relax physically and mentally. As a result, a large group of paparazzi followed - I had to sigh at the super speed of the Los Angeles paparazzi, and it was only after coming back that it was considered to be clean.

Walking down the stairs, he saw Pedro sitting cross-legged on a beach chair with sheet music and meditating, Neil's eyes widened depressedly, "Pepe, what are you...... Working on the score for 'Sail'? Neil didn't hide his surprise at all, and his face was full of incredulity.

Pedro looked up, saw Neil's eyes, and pursed his lips disdainfully, "Why, I'm not studying math problems, why are I so surprised." The drumbeat of the song "Sailing" is very distinctive, and the cooperation between Pedro and Fokine becomes crucial, and Pedro has made mistakes of varying degrees in the previous tours.

At first, everyone thought that there was something wrong with Fokine's drum kit - and in fact it did, proving that Foquin and Hugo's guess was correct; But after the drum kit was readjusted, the rhythm was still not quite right. For the audience, it is difficult to distinguish the difference, because only the quarter beat is in harmony with the problem, even Hugo can't hear it, but Forge and Neil, who are from semi-professional classes, are very sensitive. In the end, after practice, it was found that it was Pedro who had a problem.

So, because of this incident, Pedro has been working hard lately.

Neil shook his head with a smile, "No, just because tomorrow is a Grammy, I thought you'd jump up and down with excitement and look forward to how many trophies you can win tomorrow." "Twelve nominations, even if they are glorious to death, they are all ordinary people, it is impossible not to react at all, and the team will discuss this matter among themselves.

Pedro rolled his eyes in annoyance, "You thought it was last year." Last year, Pedro and Alfonso attended the Grammys alone, and ended up with two gramophones for their deaths. This incident was also one of the precursors of disagreement within Glory to Death.

Of course, now that the band members are relieved, they can be very comfortable making fun of these things.

"I did think you were the same as last year." Neil's words immediately caused Pedro to wave his fists in anger, strongly expressing his displeasure, and causing Alfonso to laugh as he walked out of it.

"Pepe, aren't you really looking forward to winning the prize tomorrow?" Alfonso also said teasingly with a joke on his face.

At this time, Pedro calmed down, grinning and saying, "Expectation, why not expectation!" It's better to take a lot of them, and then there are five of us in the band, and everyone takes turns on stage to give their acceptance speech, how pleasant! Alfonso and Neil laughed out loud at the ironic remark.

Withstand the temptation of fame and fortune. Confused, withstanding the blow of fame and fortune, this is a compulsory course in the entertainment industry. Glory to death stumbled on this road, all the way to the present, the five members have seen it, this state of mind is the precipitation of time and the tempering of frustration. At this time, their mentality is already different, maybe not out of the ordinary, but at least calm.

As he spoke, Alfonso saw Hugo and Cameron walking from the end of his sight, apparently walking to the beach below.

Alfonso looked at Neil and asked with his eyes, "Do we need to avoid it?" "About Hugo and Cameron, the band members actually know more or less, but they are a group of big men, and they rarely talk about such delicate things, and even if they mention it, they are drunk and exposed.

Just now Hugo came home, Cameron excitedly threw himself into Hugo's arms, and the excitement that couldn't be concealed couldn't be concealed. Although Hugo was too tired from the journey to fall asleep in the car just now, he still cheered up to watch the welcome cake that Cameron prepared for them, and then went for a walk on the beach with Cameron. Obviously there are a lot of words to be exchanged.

Neil glanced back, at this time Hugo's face was still that faint gentleness, no different from usual, while Cameron's expression was not as excited as just now, slightly calm, but his eyes were slightly red and swollen, which could not be seen without careful observation. In this way, it is impossible to guess why, whether it is the two people who opened their hearts and returned to normalcy, or whether the two people have experienced a dispute and barely maintained their peace.

Neil gave Alfonso a helpless look on his face, then shrugged.

Before they could make a decision, Cameron and Hugo had already come over. Hugo's footsteps stopped, and Cameron, who was holding Hugo's arm, had already taken a step, but after thinking about it, he still took it back and stood quietly beside Hugo. looked at Neil, Alfonso and Pedro in front of him, and took the initiative to say hello, "Why is everyone outside, don't you go in and have a good rest?" ”

Pedro, who usually talks the most, lowered his head sullenly and did not speak, and finally Alfonso showed a polite smile, "There are a lot of issues that need to be discussed during the tour, and there is not enough time to practice, but now I have to run more, so I have to use these intervals to discuss more." ”

Alfonso explained in great detail, and Cameron lifted his chin in realization, but he wanted to take a little bit, but he didn't know what to say.

Looking at Cameron's expression, Alfonso was a little surprised - because Cameron was a big fan of rock and roll, and when she first dated Hugo, she and the band members of the glorious to death had nothing to talk about. But why has it come to this point?

The silence suddenly spread, and the scene was a little awkward for a while. Alfonso looked at Hugo and wanted to make him speak, but Hugo fell into thought, a little absent-minded, and did not notice the strangeness of the atmosphere at the scene, which made Alfonso have a headache.

Just as Alfonso was about to say something, Joseph's voice came from behind, "So you volunteered to step forward, hehe, didn't you think that I might refuse...... You know, Hugo is very busy......" Joseph walked out of the hall with a smile on his face, and since he was talking on the phone, he did not notice the abnormality of the courtyard, and greeted everyone with a smile.

Joseph's composure, on the contrary, broke the stiff atmosphere of the scene, and Alfonso couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Neil and Pedro exchanged a look, then pulled Alfonso by the way, and the three of them walked towards the hall, avoiding the particular situation in the courtyard.

Joseph waved at Cameron, smiled apologetically, and said with his lips, "I need to borrow Hugo for a while, I'm sorry." Cameron looked up at Hugo, then nodded with a generous smile and let go of his arm, but remained where he was, not leaving. At this time, Joseph was speaking into the receiver, "I can't make any guarantees, but at least I can get Hugo to answer the phone." ”

Joseph took the receiver off, covered it, and said to Hugo, "It's Paul, and he said there was a special person named Archie Manning who wanted to talk to you. I'm really sorry, but Paul was a little impulsive and took it upon himself to say that I was your manager. ”

Paul Gibbs, Joseph's younger brother.

Hugo tugged at the corners of his mouth, smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's just a phone call." Hugo glanced at Cameron a little absent-mindedly, then paused, pursed his lips to look away, and then turned his head with Joseph in the direction of the pool next to him.

"Remember, Paul, don't make any promises." Joseph was still a little worried, he had never made such an unreasonable request to Hugo, and he was inevitably a little nervous, lest his brother do something inappropriate, after all, Paul was only nineteen years old.

Hugo patted Joseph on the shoulder to comfort him, then took the microphone and heard Paul's energetic voice still chattering, "...... It's just about rugby, I'm definitely not going to talk nonsense. The corners of Hugo's mouth outlined a shallow arc, "Hey, this is Hugo." ”

Paul's voice was choked in an instant, and there was a sudden complete silence, and after about half a second, he said in a panic, "Hugo, oh, God, Hugo, I'm sorry I bothered you." Oh no, I ...... Uh, I'm Paul Gibbs, good evening. ”

Paul's inverted words made Hugo feel completely relaxed, and he chuckled, "Good evening, I'm Hugo Lancaster." ”

"I know, I know......" Paul whispered in disbelief, "God, God! Paul patted his head so hard that there was even a crisp slapping sound coming from the earpiece, and then Paul took two deep breaths, "Hugo, yes, the star quarterback of my college football team, he's a great guy, no, he's the most outstanding player in the entire Southeastern Conference, maybe even one of the best players in college history." ”

Paul said two words, but found that Hugo did not answer, and couldn't help but be a little worried, "Hugo, are you still there?" ”

Hugo chuckled twice, "And then?" Would you like to introduce this player to me? ”

"Right...... No......" Paul was once again incoherent and had to adjust his breathing, "and here's the thing, he's facing one of the most important choices of his life, and he needs some help. Our whole team's favorite thing is the music of the glory to the death – and your films, of course," Paul adds in a panic, "and he's no exception. So, his father hopes, uh, wants to be able to talk to you. ”

Hugo was already full of question marks at this time, but he heard Paul continue, "Excuse me, may you talk to his father on the phone?" He will tell you the details. ”

"Oh, so it's not this player, it's his father." Hugo felt that the relationship was a bit tangled. Paul said yes again and again, and the earnest voice could be clearly understood even through the microphone, and Hugo chuckled, "I think...... That's fine. So, what is his name? ”

"Archie Manning."
