Chapter 188: New President
Chapter 188: New President
Everyone in the United States is not moving from their television sets right now. They are all busy watching the news while waiting for the afternoon to see the inauguration of the new president.
Since the identity of the person who will be sworn in as the new president is not yet known, people can only hope that it is a reputable figure.
Of course, the rumors grew more and more with time.
The most surprising was the rumor that the next president would be a woman.
It was said that she was very beautiful.
This information was quite shocking, making many men curious because it was about a beautiful woman.
There are only a few beautiful women among the congressmen. This made people start to guess easily since they saw the list of congressmen who were considered beautiful.
After that, Alice's name started to come up in people's discussions.
She was actually the most suspected because she came from a family with great power so she and her family could practically influence the political conditions in the United States.
This was a bit hard to accept because as a congresswoman, she was among the least active. However, looking at her pictures makes many people like her.
The power of beauty is indeed something that is hard to resist and fight against, no one can argue with that.
When the discussion about Alice is more, parties from the White House seem to start justifying it.
They did not deny it when some of them came out of the White House and were interviewed by reporters.
This convinced the public even more.
The time seemed long because of the various tensions, but the afternoon finally arrived.
Although the security of the White House was still tight, they began to allow reporters to enter with their full equipment.
This was a clear sign that there would be a live broadcast to the world.
Not long after that, all the tvs were showing the White House halls which seemed quiet now, but there was already an array of chairs for the officials.
This display was exactly like the previous presidential inaugurations.
One by one, the dignitaries arrived, sitting on the seats with their names on them.
David no longer took his eyes in any other direction. He kept looking at the TV, including everyone in the restaurant, even Mira.
Among them, the restaurant boss sometimes showed a strange expression as he occasionally glanced at David.
Since there were many rumors saying that Alice would be the next president, he felt that today he had an indescribable experience because just now Alice came to his restaurant for lunch. Discover hidden tales at m,v l'e-NovelFire
Even her young lover was still in this restaurant.
The strange feeling became stronger because Alice had a young lover. Then what would be the status of her young lover in this country if she became President.
However, the restaurant boss was aware that they hadn't had an official wedding, so there would be no special status for David.
Even so, he might still be able to come to the White House to see Alice.
Actually, now David was wondering where he and Alice were spending the night tonight. Whether at the hotel booked by Alice or at the White House.
David hoped it would be at the latter place.
However, Alice should already be certain that she would be inhabiting the White House from tonight, so why would she still book a room at a hotel? Was it just to keep her quiet?
After that, Alice finally appeared on tv.
She was with some big officials, walking into the center of the hall.
Her appearance was still the same, she was wearing the dress she had been wearing since morning except that her hair was neatly put in a bun so that she looked more professional.
When the woman stopped, she stopped in front of a tall microphone.
Now they seem to want to swear her in as president immediately because a country cannot be without a leader for too long.
The inauguration process started quickly. Even from David's point of view, it seemed hasty. Maybe they were worried about interference from the other side.
The process was no different from any other inauguration.
Alice was asked to swear to do her best for the people of the United States and then sign a document.
It was short, but from that moment on, she was practically the official President of the United States.
Her picture would be displayed in all public schools and government offices.
Surprisingly after the inauguration was over, all live inside the halls of the White House ended. There was not even a word of welcome from Alice.
Now there is only live outside the White House.
This made it difficult for people to know what their beautiful new president was doing.
David continued to sit in his chair, waiting for Alice to contact him even though they hadn't shared a phone number so it was inconclusive how she would contact him. Probably through Mira.
The sky slowly darkened as he waited.
Occasionally he glanced at Mira who was busy with her own cell phone.
After a while, she suddenly stood up, then approached David.
"Lady Alice is back and waiting in the car, let's go," she said tonelessly.
"What?" David was confused that Alice was back.
Unfortunately he couldn't ask Mira for an explanation as she immediately walked away.
He followed her, and found the previous White Mercedez still parked in the same spot.
It seemed that Alice did not leave in that car.
From outside, he could not see Alice. He had to get into the car first.
Sure enough, Alice was actually inside the car, leaning on her hands, looking relaxed as she played with her cell phone. Her hair was also no longer in a bun.
In addition, she had brought a white shawl which she now placed over her shoulder. Perhaps she had previously shaken it to cover her hair and face.
David could not help but observe her for a long time. This woman was not only the mother of Erza or the Lady of the Morgan Family, she was now also the President of the United States. There was a great thrill in seeing her.
"Why did you leave the White House?" David asked her, finding it strange that she was already hanging around when it had only been a short while since she was sworn in as president.
If the people of the United States knew, they would probably ask her if she really had any intention of becoming president.
"Of course, I need to go. Or do you want to sleep alone tonight?" the woman replied in an indifferent tone.
David frowned at her answer.
"Are we going to the hotel room you booked?" David asked.
"Yes," the woman replied.
"Isn't there the White House? We can go there," David replied.
"Hmm..." Alice suddenly smiled coldly at David's words.
After that, she even patted his hand.
"Don't overthink it, I won't take you there. You may be married to me, but you are not the First Gentleman," said the woman.
David's expression instantly froze at everything she said.
At the same time, Mira started driving the car, heading towards an area that was indeed full of luxury hotels.
"So you don't want to take me to the White House?" David asked Alice.
This was unlikely to stop being discussed before he got a clear answer.
"Understand that it's troublesome if I take you there. There, only the bedroom doesn't have CCTV. Plus there are many employees, so how am I going to take you there?" Alice looked rather angry when she explained that.
In fact, it was difficult to enter the White House undetected even for spiritual beings except for those with powers like Mery who could cast shadows.
Of course, David was aware of that, but he thought it would be fine if he entered the White House normally and then went into Alice's room, no matter what others thought afterwards. After all, Alice was a woman, it was only natural that she would want a man to accompany her in her room.
Unfortunately, the woman did not seem willing to show such a thing.
David rolled his eyes, and chose not to continue this topic. There was no point in continuing to discuss it when they were still going to spend the night together.
Not long after, the car stopped in front of a luxury hotel that only had three floors.
All the guests looked exclusive. They looked rich and powerful.
As soon as the car stopped, Alice immediately moved her shawl over her head, covering her hair and face so that only her eyes were visible.
She would not be recognized except for those who were familiar with her.
However, her dress was the same as the one she wore at the White House, so David wondered if she wasn't worried about others getting suspicious because of her dress.
As it turned out, with the shawl, she was still able to cover the top of her dress so it looked like she was just wearing a normal black dress.
She then got out of the car, signaling for David to follow her.
David followed her and walked right beside her.
Either he or Alice attracted too much attention.
Although the latter's face was covered up to her hair, unfortunately her figure was too charming to describe.
Some men looked at David with annoyance that he had come to the hotel together with such a charming woman.
Of course, no one could guess Alice's age with her face covered.
Most people thought she was the same age as David although it was very rare for a young woman to have such a body.
However, some people think that she might be older, which is why she covered her face because she was embarrassed to be seen dating a young man.
Whether she is a young lady or a middle-aged woman, all the men who see her fantasize about her.
