Hogan, however, wasn't an ordinary person himself.
He composed himself and said, "I haven't seen you in such a long time, but you still talk to me like you always do."
Tremaine laughed.
Hogan ordered his servants to pour some earl grey tea for Tremaine.
Both of them sat on the bench while Sheldon stood at the side.
"Mr. President, why have you come here?" Hogan asked.
After asking this, he then added without waiting for Tremaine's response, "Mr. President, you should know that I am no longer employed to serve at the presidential office. I find my days very leisurely now. Everyday, I find myself enjoying a cup of tea and a nice walk. It's so boring."
Tremaine snorted to himself.
Hogan, this old geezer.
He was well aware that Tremaine had come all this way to personally invite him back to the presidential office. Yet he could still say such things. Tremaine said, "Mr. Welmert, I understand you are enjoying your retirement. I had no intention of ever disturbing you. It's just that Yesseca and I are about to be married. I have come today to invite you to our wedding. After all, you have been my mentor for so many years. How could I not invite you to my wedding?"
He didn't say anything else. He was going to let Hogan decide.
Upon hearing this, Hogan became serious.
He then let out a long sigh.
Hogan was well aware that the tides had changed, and the people of Nashaland were now on board with their marriage, he had nothing to say about that anymore.
All he could now was simply accept their marriage.
It was fortunate that most of Nashaland had accepted their marriage. It wasn't that he had never considered this possible. It was because, at the time, having Tremaine marry a commoner would have caused a major uproar which would put the country in an unstable state.
"Mr. President, are you really going to marry Yesseca?" Hogan asked.
"I've already took it this far, do you still believe this to be fake?" Tremaine asked.
Hogan shook his head and said, "Mr. President, even though the people of Nashaland now approve of your marriage with Yesseca, I'm afraid I will still have to play the devil's advocate here. Things won't go smoothly for very long in your life. Mr. President, your actions have been very unwise. You will always be walking on thin ice from now on. Yes, marrying a commoner does make your marriage a very compelling one, but then..."
"Mr. President, excuse me for saying this, but the possibility of someone using your marriage against you is very likely. Which is why, your marriage to her will be a major weakness for the rest of your political career. I highly suggest you rethink your marriage!"
Tremaine understood what Hogan was telling him.
All he could do was wait for Hogan to tell him this and simply extend his invitation once more.
Tremaine replied, "Mr. Welmert, I understand what you're saying, but I won't give up on marrying her. I've decided to be with her for the rest of my life. Of course, if you're that worried about me, you can come back to the presidential office to assist me. I believe with your help, Mr. Welmert, my political career will be a very stable one."
Hogan was quiet.
He had just realized that he had fallen into Tremaine's trap.
Hogan shook his head and sighed.
It was often said, 'the older you get, the wiser you become'. He didn't think this saying was true at all right at this moment.
After thinking about it, Hogan decided not to beat around the bush with Tremaine anymore and decided to stop lecturing him.
After all, he wanted to continue being of service at the presidential office again.
Although he was quite old, he was still physically strong and had so much more to contribute to Nashaland. He wasn't keen on living the rest of life simply sipping on tea and taking walks everyday.
Besides, he already knew why Tremaine had come to see him.
Since Tremaine was willing to put his dignity aside to personally invite him back, he would be happy to do so.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Hogan then said, "Sir, with things as they already are, I see no other choice but to return to the presidential office to assist you."
Tremaine smiled.
He said, "You are a smart man indeed, Mr.
Welmert. I look forward to seeing you at the presidential office tomorrow."
Hogan nodded and said, "You know, Yesseca does have some merits. I've seen the news. Miss Cowell had once donated several luxury goods to the e welfare agency to assist citizens in need. With this in mind, it seems that she will become a fine First Lady for the country,
The news article that Hogan was referring to had been circulated under Tremaine's orders.
He was well aware how effective his speech was that day. It had successfully brought the people of Nashaland, who originally opposed his marriage to Yesseca, into supporting them now.
But this was far from over.
He had to create a strong, lasting impression of Yesseca and instill it into the hearts of the people so that they wouldn't easily turn against her. This incident just happened to have occured.
He had given Yesseca a ton of luxury goods, not knowing that Yesseca wouldn't accept them. She had then decided to donate all of them to a welfare agency.
Tremaine had simply allowed this to blow up as the welfare agency began spreading news of her generosity.
For a time, Yesseca received countless praises from the people of Nashaland.
"The president's soon-to-be-wife isn't such a bad person after all. She's donated so many luxury goods to the people. She is so kind."
"Those luxury goods must have
been gifts from the president. I heard that they were all brand new as well. She donated all of them to the welfare agency, untouched She's so nice and thoughtful. No
es so
average citizen would ever think of donating such luxurious goods to charity."
"I heard that she has also done numerous charitable work but always did so anonymously. It was the people at the welfare agency that insisted on taking pictures of her. She didn't want people to know it was her."
"I knew our president had good taste. Even though she's a commoner, there is something truly special about her. Why else would our president fall in love with her?"
"Slam!"
Qiana smashed her mouse on the floor.
She had been reading all the praises about Yesseca on the inte and had become furious.
Yesseca had not only won Tremaine's heart, but the hearts of the people of Nashaland as well. She was really determined to be the president's wife!
Qiana would not stand for this!
She had put in so much effort and even moved all the way to Nashaland! Now all of it was for nothing!
Her father, the mayor, had called her earlier.
He'd scolded her bitterly.
He called her useless and said that she had betrayed him.
Qiana had promised him that she would become Tremaine's wife which would help him gain a meteoric rise in his political career. But despite all his support and patience, nothing had came from it.
Qiana was going crazy after getting scolded by her father and after reading all those praises about Yesseca.
Qiana stood up. She paced around her room nervously.
She needed to come up with a solution.
She couldn't wait around anymore.
If she continued to wait around, then Tremaine and Yesseca would get married. By then, it would be too late.
She had to think of something right now.
