Devastating Secret™

President In Chief

CHAPTER 3

The demands of the Presidency, Evas own itinerary and her pregnancy kept them apart. A foolish part

of him missed her. It craved her at odd times. Just like Cooper, he had gotten use to her by his side

and it killed him to admit it.

He sat in another meeting listening to another fool drone on and on about something. Honestly, he

should start paying attention to everything what was said but it was just so hard to listen to some

stuffy old fool talk absolute rubbish about a life he never lived and his plans to make it better when in

fact all the fool wanted was to line the pockets of himself and his contributors. Noah wanted to get

up and punch the man.

Instead he said menacingly Shut up. Normally, such words would go unnoticed in the clamour

around him, but he had yet to contribute since his inauguration, so it brought absolute silence. All

eyes turned towards him and he stood continuing in that same tone We are not going to do that. Its

stupid. Get outside talk to some actual sick people without a camera following you then make a

meaningful contribution. Until then sit down and shut up! Looking around he asked, Anyone else

has something that we can get to the point in under five minutes. Silence reigned as everyone

looked at one another. No? Then Eric, Theresa, Wayland come with me. Have a good day ladies and

gentlemen. He told them as he quit the room leaving the others to follow.

Once they were in another secure room Noah rounded on them. No wonder the government cant

get anything done! I just wasted another two hours of my life listening to those assholes! I need

results not meetings!

Everything needs to be vetted first before we take it to the House. We explained that Noah. In public,

they were Wayland and Mr. President or Sir. In private they became uncle and nephew again.

I know that, but do they vet these things in their heads first before they open their mouths. That guy

was my Secretary of Urban Development. What the hell does he know about being poor? Or is it he

thinks Im too stupid to know hes trying to pull a fast one on me. Noah argued.

I think its the latter. Theresa piped up. They think your lack of political acumen equates a lack of

basic common sense.

This is why he was glad Theresa was on his team. She was his Chief of Staff and spoke plainly and she

knew their game better than they think she did. Along with his uncle, she helped him double check all

their suggestions. They were also drafting a few bills of their own. The adjustments to bill for the

protection of women that his uncle wanted named after Evas mother was one Theresa was pushing to

get passed first.

One negative of Theresa was that she and Eva had become fast friends almost on sight. They had too

many similarities not to. They both went riding together by Montgomery stables. Eva bought horses
