Hugo’s expression was obviously a little unnatural when work was mentioned.
To be exact, he was proud of his status as a student who had been sponsored by the government, but he suddenly had low self-esteem when he mentioned that he was going to Mexico to work.
Charlie was keenly aware of his changes. Combined with the fact that he had been changing jobs continuously for many years and that his income was getting lower and lower before he was unemployed for more than a year, Charlie could guess that he was only going to Mexico this time because he was helpless and had no other choice.
So, he sighed softly and said, “I think that you were also helpless when you decided to go to Mexico to work, right? In truth, I’m just like you. I wouldn’t want to go to Mexico unless it was my last resort.”
Hugo asked him curiously, “What are you going to do in Mexico?”
Charlie said casually, “I don’t know what I can do after I go there, but my visa in the United States is about to expire. I originally thought about staying in the United States illegally, but the Immigration Department has been investigating illegal immigrants very tightly lately. One of my uncles was deported some time ago, so I thought about leaving the United States before my visa expires.”
Hugo asked puzzledly, “You can just go back to Oskia if you cannot continue staying in the United States, right?”
Charlie said somewhat embarrassedly, “To be honest, I left the country because I couldn’t continue staying in the country anymore. I owed a lot of money in the country, and I might get arrested if I go back now.”
When Hugo heard this, he said with a smile, “You borrowed money to run away, right?”
“Haha...” Charlie laughed twice and said awkwardly, “I borrowed a little too much, and coupled with poor management, the deficit became too big. I couldn’t afford to pay my debt, so I had to leave to escape the limelight.”
