Alice Turner initially thought Thomas Fisher was pretending to be confused with her, but seeing him at this moment, she felt a sense of powerlessness, as if her fist had hit a sponge.
She had been angry with him for half a day, yet he didn't realize she was upset, and even less did he know why she was angry. Why she was angry with him was even more unlikely for him to understand.
"Thomas Fisher! I'm mad, and very mad indeed, because you insulted me with money." Since he didn't know she was angry, she decided to tell him bluntly that she was.
"I insulted you with money?! Alice! Where is this coming from? Why would I insult you with money? I haven't lost my mind, I..." Thomas Fisher suddenly thought of something and immediately explained: "Alice! You misunderstood, earlier I said I'd double your salary to make you stay with me longer, I didn't mean to insult you, I just wanted you to spend more time here with me."
So it turns out she was angry about this, he felt terribly wronged.
