why she leave with so much anger?



Best Answer

There's no evidence of anger as such although I suppose one could interpret it that way. Wendy is quite calm throughout the whole scene.

What it appeared to me was that Wendy wasn't comfortable with the public display of affection that her girlfriend was making by holding her hand.

It's not clear whether the relationship between the women is public (or even if the two men at the table were aware of it) but what is certain is that the FBI would have disapproved of any such relationship given the times they were living in.

In fact the whole conversation is about public embarrassment and keeping part of oneself private which adds an extra layer to it since Wendy can't say that she's working with the FBI because it would "reflect badly" on Wendy's girlfriend.

Added to that is the conversation prior to that scene where Wendy's girlfriend was basically suggesting that Wendy's work with the FBI wasn't important and that what was important was getting tenure and improving ones standing at the university.
