Mary's heart sank. She gripped her phone tightly and looked up at Hugh.
Hugh seemed to be in a bad mood. He poured himself another glass of red wine.
Mary looked at her new dress and new phone. Finally, she took on the role of a sister and asked him with concern, "What's wrong?"
Unexpectedly, Hugh actually answered, "It's about work. It's annoying. That was my assistant, Daniel, just now. You saw him. He's really pushing for the manuscript."
Mary paused for a moment. She didn't expect Hugh to really tell her about work.
So, she had to continue talking. "No Inspiration?"
Hugh scratched his brown hair impatiently. "No! It's just that I've overturned it several times... why don't you tell your brother about your escape experience? It might give me a lot of inspiration..."
He kept going back and forth, trying to get Mary's story.
Mary smiled helplessly. "Alright. Let's talk about it when I officially move to your place."
