Reported Speech or indirect speech differs from direct speech in the sense that it presents the information as though it already occurred. This is noticed with the way the tenses are written.

When I saw Mary at the office this morning, she wasn't looking very well. In fact, she looked a bit tired. I tasked her what the matter was with her but she wouldn't tell me. I wanted to know what was going on so I asked Phil but he didn't know, either.
Two hours later, at about ten o'clock, we met meeting at the canteen to have a cup of coffee. But Mary didn't order anything to drink. I knew she loved coffee so that was quite strange. When I asked her why she didn't want anything to drink she said she didn't have her wallet. Her husband had taken it! I asked her how she had come to work and she said that as she didn't have any money at all she came on foot. So that's why she was so tired! She lived in a nearby town which was ten kilometers away! No wonder why she was exhausted.
