"Come on Hugo."
"I told you, nothing."
Ned remains silent from the other line while I was busy with my laptop.
"Tell me exactly why you're helping this woman, Hugo?" Ned asks me while he's on the other line.
I fixed my Bluetooth earphone in my ear, "Because she needs help." I answered seriously as I kept my eyes glued on my laptop.
I need to finish my presentation for next week's meeting and I still have tons of other stuff to prepare at the studio while Ned here keeps on bugging the hell out of me.
I hear Ned chuckling. "Is that all?"
"Yes." I answered firmly, still keeping my gaze at my laptop.
"Really?" Ned teases.
"Yes Ned."
"You don't need to lie to me Hue." He persuades me.
I stopped from typing and just stared at my laptop while I release a deep sigh, "I'm not lying."
