Oxford Bookworms LibraryLevel 1
A level 1 Oxford Bookworms Library graded readers. Written for Learners of English by John Escott.
Nick Lortz is sitting outside a café in Whistler, a village in the Canadian mountains, when a stranger comes and sits next to him. She’s young, pretty, and has a beautiful smile. Nick is happy to sit and talk with her.
But why does she call Nick �Mr Hollywood’? Why does she give him a big kiss when she leaves? And who is the man at the next table – the man with short white hair?
Nick learns the answers to these questions three long days later – in a police station on Vancouver Island.
Goodbye, Mr Hollywood
GOODBYE, MR HOLLYWOOD
�The girl suddenly took Nick’s face between her hands, and kissed him on the mouth. “Drive carefully, Mr Hollywood. Goodbye,” she said, with a big, beautiful smile. Then she turned and walked quickly away.’
Nick Lortz doesn’t understand. He only met the girl ten minutes ago when she came and sat next to him in the café. So why does she kiss him when she leaves? And why does she call him �Mr Hollywood’? He thinks about these questions when he is driving to Vancouver, but he doesn’t find the answers. And there is one more thing that Nick doesn’t know.
Somebody is listening when the girl says goodbye to him – somebody who is very interested in the name �Mr Hollywood’. And in Vancouver Nick soon learns that it’s not a friendly interest …
