Thomas shook his head. "Not very busy, but quite draining of time and energy," he answered with a hint of boredom in his voice.
Lisa smiled, trying to get Thomas' attention. "What work do you do?" Lisa asked enthusiastically.
Thomas explained his job briefly, not too enthusiastically. He felt that Lisa was too focused on him, which made him feel uncomfortable. However, he still tried to maintain the silence that was growing between them.
Lisa tried to change the topic of the conversation. "Do you have other hobbies or interests besides work?" Lisa asked in the hope of lightening the atmosphere.
Thomas felt tense and tried to control his emotions. He looked at Lisa with a sharp gaze, then with a slightly trembling voice, he answered, "Sorry, but that's none of your business."
