Charlus woke up. He looked around. The bus he was in had stopped a long time ago. He was the only one left on the bus. Charlus got up. He grabbed his backpack from below his seat.

He then went out of the bus. He looked around. He was in the bustling part of LA. The part with the Hollywood sign visible and beautiful people walking around.

.

Till now he was in the far end of the city. A place that could be considered the outskirts. But the place Charlus was in was somewhere that even actors couldn\'t afford to live in. Charlus grabbed his backpack and slung it over his shoulder. He then continued to walk on the street. He saw the models and aspiring models walk on the road and sighed. This was what made him come to Los Angeles and he was missing this at the horrid school.

Charlus looked at the time. It was 9 AM. He still had the whole day to find Lucie. It wasn\'t like Lucie was in a precarious situation. He could afford to flirt with a couple of beautiful models.

Charlus randomly picked his date for the day. It was a beautiful black-haired woman in a sweatshirt and yoga pants. He went towards her.

"Excuse me? Where did you get that?"

"Get what?" The girl was confused.

"That beautiful smile." Charlus\' pickup line made the girl laugh.

"Hi, I\'m Charlus and I saw you walking across the road. I knew I would regret it if I didn\'t talk to you."

"I\'m Denise. Nice to meet you."

"Are you busy right now? Am I troubling you, Denise?" Charlus asked Denise.

"No, not at all. I was just on the way to my apartment. I was going to make myself some breakfast." Denise smiled at Charlus.

"Well, would you rather join me at a cafe? It would save you some trouble." Charlus offered Denise a date. She smiled.

"Sure why not? Do you have a place in mind?"

Charlus looked around. He saw a cafe in sight. He pointed there.

"Well, Tiago Coffee Bar seems nice. Is that okay with you?" Charlus asked Denise who looked weirdly at Charlus for a second. But then she smiled. 

"Sure."

She started walking across the street. It was a no-car street which meant crossing was allowed. Charlus walked behind her. 

"So what do you do?" Charlus asked Denise.

"I\'m an actress. I\'ve been in a few roles." Denise\'s reply stunned Charlus.

"That\'s interesting. I am happy for you. I heard that making it out here is very tough. But for someone as beautiful as you, they must be flocking for you." Charlus complimented Denise. Denise blushed lightly and looked away.

The two entered the Coffee Bar. They sat at a seat away from the window beside a wall. They waited for a person to take their order.

Once someone came, Charlus didn\'t hesitate while giving his order.

"One black coffee. And you?"

He looked at Denise. Denise looked at Charlus with curiosity.

"Don\'t you want to look at the menu first?"

"I don\'t want to keep you waiting. It\'s alright. I\'m pretty sure they won\'t mess black coffee up."

Denise chuckled. Meanwhile, Charlus put his backpack beside him.

"One Machiatto."

"Could you get us a couple of sandwiches too? Thank you." Charlus finished up the order. The waiter took away the menu and went back. Denise asked Charlus a question.

"What is the bag for?"

Charlus chuckled.

"Funny thing, really. I just got into this part of town. I literally got off the bus when I laid my eyes on you."

"What business do you have here?" Denise was curious.

"Little bit of sightseeing. Hollywood is famous and I need to see what the craze is about."

The order came and Charlus took his phone out. It was an iPhone 5.

"That\'s an old phone," Denise commented on the phone while Charlus was taking a picture of his coffee. It looked a lot better than he was expecting.

"Is it? I don\'t use my phone a lot so it doesn\'t matter to me."

Charlus and Denise talked for an hour until they were done with their coffee. Charlus saw the waiter come and place a bill. Denise reached for it but Charlus quickly grabbed it.

"I was the one who invited you, so I believe I a supposed to pay."

Charlus opened the bill. He almost choked.

$213.32

He didn\'t think he would have to pay that much for a cup of coffee.

"The prices in LA aren\'t for normal people," Charlus said while reaching for his wallet. Denise nodded. She then reached for her purse but she saw Charlus put down three $100 bills.

"Shall we get going?" Charlus asked Denise. Denise was shocked. She didn\'t think that Charlus would be able to afford to pay the bill. He was dressed like a very normal person with clothes out of Walmart.

Denise looked at Charlus. "I have to get going. I hope we can meet again."

"Well then maybe leave a number?" Charlus asked hopefully.

Denise chuckled. "Sure, why not?"

She took Charlus and put in her digits. She was then about to walk away but she looked at Charlus.

"You know what? If you have an address I could drop you there."

Charlus\' eyes brightened.

"That would help a lot. Here it is."

Charlus took out the address that he got from Lucie. He handed it to Denise.

Denise took the address from Charlus. She then looked weirdly at Charlus.

"Are you sure this is the address you want to go to?"

"Yes." Charlus nodded. Denise sighed.

"Fine. My car is just around the corner.

Charlus followed Denise to her car. It was a pink Lambo. Charlus was surprised. He didn\'t think that his date was a rich person. But he didn\'t care. He didn\'t need to be rich. He could kill a rich person any time he wanted. His strength trumped wealth.
