Game Over No Second Chances

Serena asked curiously, "As your wife, I can help you socialize with the crowd. Why are you pushing them away?"

Wasn't that the whole point of their cooperation? Hugh worked with her precisely because he needed someone to play the role of Mrs. Larson in public and deal with all the socializing.

"They're noisy," Hugh said, giving a curt response as he led her away from the crowd.
