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.”
Hugh’s face flashed with joy.
He did not expect that the story he had yearned for so long to really be in his hands!
“That’s great. When are you moving over? Why don’t you give your brother a detailed talk tonight?”
Seeing his anxious look, Mary thought that he truly had no inspiration!
“Your assistant just said that he wants you to meet your old friend and ask him to tell you about the case. Why don’t you go?”
Hugh scoffed. “She’s my ex-girlfriend, meeting her is awkward!”
Mary was shocked.
Hugh felt that there was something wrong with her expression. “What’s with that expression?”
Mary shrugged, “It’s nothing. I didn’t know that you would have an ex-girlfriend, so I’m quite shocked.”
While grinding his molars, he roared, “Mary Dawson! I’m very attractive!”
Mary rubbed her ears. “Okay, okay! You’re 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 Monroe’s 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 brother’s house.
Therefore, Hugh and Herman, who were both in New York, were indeed the best choices at the moment.
As for Jayce, Mary didn’t 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 Monroe’s place.
Unexpectedly, Monroe was not at home.
Hugh strolled around the residence and felt that it was not noteworthy. “It’s 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, “Let’s 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 it’s normal for your relationship to get better, but aren’t you too eager to see him?”
Mary’s expression did not change. “I just think he’s too mean! I’m very angry!”
Hugh finally understood. “Oh, you’re still angry that he’s not waiting for you in Philadelphia! Heh, silly!”
Mary was a cheapskate, and she wasn’t ashamed of it!
The siblings left the place and headed into the heart of New York City.
Mary didn’t know anything about Monroe’s career, but Hugh, who was Monroe’s brother, did.
He even knew where the headquarters of the Raging Flame Group was.
