THE OTHER WOMAN

Chapter two - quiet at last

"It's wonderful to be back at the White House. Though I must say, the rumors about your infidelity during my last visit were quite distressing. And just when I thought it couldn't get any worse, there was yet another rumor about your wife's infidelity with evidence. It was a lot to handle. Thankfully, Octavia Moore was able to put those rumors to rest. She's truly remarkable, like an angel in disguise. I'm incredibly grateful for her assistance," Evelyn stated confidently, taking a sip of her wine as she looked at the president. 

"I apologize for any embarrassment caused by the rumors circulating about me and my wife," the president said as he walked to his couch and sat down, gesturing for Evelyn to take a seat.

"I wasn't exactly mortified or anything, but there was a moment where I felt..."

"Can I offer you some more wine, Evelyn?" asked the president, holding out his wine in a friendly gesture.

"I'm good for now, thank you. It was lovely chatting with you, sir," Evelyn remarked before departing and closing the door behind her.

The president stood up in complete shock, admitting that he was just trying to offer her more wine, but she had the wrong idea. He couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed about the situation.

As Lily got ready to leave, Octavia couldn't help but ask a burning question. "Lilly, why do people believe that cats are cute? I say otherwise because once I had a cat & I was playing with it, and the cat gets mad, and scratches me on my arm with its sharp nails." She shared her personal experience as she flipped through a magazine.

"I have to admit, I'm a bit of a cat lover myself," Lily said with a smile.

"Of course you like cats, it's like cats like you but hate me for some weird reason," Octavia said then laughed

"Octavia I'm pretty sure cats love you too," said Lily as her voice started to go far as she make her way to the house door and then left out. ( door slaps close)

"Well, now I'm all alone, at night," Octavia said with the magazine still in her hand.

Ring* ring* ring*
"Who could that be calling me so late at night, from the White House."

"Octavia would you like to come to the White House & drink with me," the president said over the phone.

"No, thank you I don't think it's a good idea to drink, but whatever you want to talk to me about I'm here for you," Octavia said with a smile over the phone

"I appreciate you Octavia for being so caring and yes I would like to talk about what can I do to ensure that the good people of America trust me more than ever. They chose me to be their president & so far I've been doing nothing but trying to keep my wife from doing things that will get to the media and mess up our imagines of a healthy & good marriage."

"Anytime Mr.President and yes I know it's hard to get American to trust you again. I believe that you're always stuck cleaning your wife's mess & you're tired of it, but you also have to make sure that you are trying your best to ensure American safety & also be able to worry about yourself and the emotions you might have during your first year of being president. It's going to get hard and harder the more you be president but you have to make sure, you know what you're doing and my gut tells me you care about America and want to help the world & its people on it" Octavia said with her phone to her ear and laid back in the bed.

"I agree.. that-" the president said halfway before he heard a knock on his door. ( knocks ✊)

"Who is it? Come in."

"Sir, I believe your wife is here to speak to you," the lady said.

"Well, tell my wife she can come in a minute," the president said with the phone to his ear still.

"Okay Mr. President, I will." As she then closed the door smoothly.

"Do you have any updates on my husband?" asked the First Lady, with one eyebrow raised and a slight widening of her eyes.

"He said he will be with you in a minute. His on the phone with someone I believe is important if I'm not mistaken."

"Well.. ok. I'll wait." The First Lady Said before passing back & forth.

"So, Octavia, let me get this straight. You were out camping in the woods, and suddenly you saw a 7-foot bear right in front of you, and you didn't even flinch or run?" The president asked, trying to suppress his laughter.

"Yes, I am so deadly serious. The bear just looked at me and I was soo scared that I didn't even get the chance to automatically react, so I just looked and blinked." Octavia said before she & the president started buss-out laughing.

"Octavia, do you know? That you are the funniest girl I ever talk to." The president said with a smile being to form.

"Omg stop, thank you, Mr. President," Octavia said as a smile started to form on her face as she lay in her bed.

"Thank you, Mrs. Moore. I look forward to working with you again in the future. You are truly skilled at what you do, and I encourage you not to let anyone tell you otherwise," said the president

"It was my pleasure, Mr. President. Likewise, I enjoyed our conversation tonight, but it's getting quite late. Goodnight, sir," Octavia politely said before ending the call.
