Cloth pysics-How to pull a cloth from an object?

I have an object covered with a cloth ready for a “big reveal”, however i cant seem to be able to pull the cloth, the hook only seems to pull the vertices that i have pinned, the rest of the cloth stays where it is? any pointers towards a good tutorial on this would help greatly. thanks in advance.

Have you tried moving the cloth object

Thanks guys for such a speedy response, moving the object did the trick (i feel stupid).
