Chapter 104: Cheapskate

Marys heart sank. She gripped her phone tightly and looked up at Hugh.

Hugh seemed to be in a bad mood. He poured himself another gla.s.s 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, Whats wrong?

Unexpectedly, Hugh actually answered, Its about work. Its annoying. That was my a.s.sistant, Daniel, just now. You saw him. Hes really pus.h.i.+ng for the ma.n.u.script.

Mary paused for a moment. She didnt expect Hugh to really tell her about work.

So, she had to continue talking. No Inspiration?

Hugh scratched his brown hair impatiently. No! Its just that Ive overturned it several times why dont 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 Marys story.

Mary smiled helplessly. Alright. Lets talk about it when I officially move to your place.

Hughs face flashed with joy.

He did not expect that the story he had yearned for so long to really be in his hands!

Thats great. When are you moving over? Why dont you give your brother a detailed talk tonight?

Seeing his anxious look, Mary thought that he truly had no inspiration!

Your a.s.sistant just said that he wants you to meet your old friend and ask him to tell you about the case. Why dont you go?

Hugh scoffed. Shes my ex-girlfriend, meeting her is awkward!

Mary was shocked.

Hugh felt that there was something wrong with her expression. Whats with that expression?

Mary shrugged, Its nothing. I didnt know that you would have an ex-girlfriend, so Im quite shocked.

While grinding his molars, he roared, Mary Dawson! Im very attractive!

Mary rubbed her ears. Okay, okay! Youre very attractive! Super handsome! Super rich! You can charm thousands of girls!

Hugh felt that she was being sarcastic and was a little depressed.

After Mary got her new phone, she told Hugh that she had to go back to the Monroes residence.

It was not to move her luggage, but to fully spend a month with Monroe. There were only two days left.

As an agent of the intelligence agency, Mary had been on this mission for a month, but there was still no useful information. It was really a failure of duty.

However, she could not stay with Monroe forever. She even had to move out of the castle and go to her next brothers house.

Therefore, Hugh and Herman, who were both in New York, were indeed the best choices at the moment.

As for Jayce, Mary didnt consider him anymore.

She thought that after she completed the task of the Raging Flame Group, she would end the one-month time she spent alone with her brothers.

How could she have the energy to deal with them during that one-month time?

Besides, her work was special, and her tasks were complicated. She might not stay in New York forever.

Hugh personally sent Mary to Monroes place.

Unexpectedly, Monroe was not at home.

Hugh strolled around the residence and felt that it was not noteworthy. Its normal for him to be working at this time! Do you want to rest at home or go out to have fun?

Mary did not see any acquaintances in the residence, so she simply said to Hugh, Lets go find Monroe. Let him treat us to a big meal at noon!

Hugh looked at Mary suspiciously. I know you two have gone through life and death together, so its normal for your relations.h.i.+p to get better, but arent you too eager to see him?

Marys expression did not change. I just think hes too mean! Im very angry!

Hugh finally understood. Oh, youre still angry that hes not waiting for you in Philadelphia! Heh, silly!

Mary was a cheapskate, and she wasnt ashamed of it!

The siblings left the place and headed into the heart of New York City.

Mary didnt know anything about Monroes career, but Hugh, who was Monroes brother, did.

He even knew where the headquarters of the Raging Flame Group was.
