Her poor performance during the Great Depression exacerbated the spread of the disaster.
Nowadays, people's daily lives basically consist of eating, sleeping, and cursing Hoffer.
However, regardless of Hoffer's public image, she was the sitting president of the Union and the person with the highest power.
Eleanor saw that Rosef, who had been trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, suddenly turned deathly pale.
She was about to faint.
His clumsy acting just now couldn't even fool Eleanor, so why should he let her talk to Hoffer directly now?
Let's just kill her with one blow!
Lucy remained calm and asked her secretary, "Do you know what the President wants to talk to the First Lady about?"
“The president didn’t say.” The secretary shook her head. “She only said that there was something important to discuss with Ms. Rosef.”
"I see."
Lucy nodded. "Go answer the phone."
"Ok!"
The secretary left in a hurry, leaving only three people in the study.
Rosef trembled violently: "I'm doomed! I'm going to die! She'll definitely find out!"
"Miss! Calm down!"
Lucy kept encouraging Rosef, "Didn't we anticipate this? Just follow the answers we rehearsed before! Don't worry!"
"I I I..."
Rosef wanted to ask if she could not answer the phone.
So you said she wasn't feeling well?
But seeing Lucy's threatening look, she ultimately didn't say those words.
That definitely won't work.
Hoffer's phone call was likely an attempt to probe Rosef's physical condition after the assassination attempt.
If you don't answer the phone, wouldn't that raise even more suspicion?
"I...I know."
In the end, Rosef could only sigh and accept her bleak fate.
A few minutes later, the phone in the study was connected.
The black telephone sat quietly on the desk.
Rosef remained motionless in her wheelchair.
The secretary handed her the receiver: "The President is online."
Rosef took a deep breath and answered the phone.
"Hey?"
No sooner had she finished speaking than Hoffer's voice came through, not even giving Rosef a chance to speak.
"Rosef! Thank God! You're alive!"
Rosef jumped in surprise: "Y-yes."
Hoffer breathed a sigh of relief.
"Great! I knew you'd be alright. That assassin's aim was terrible. I even made a bet with the Finance Minister yesterday, and you let me win 10 dollars!"
Lucy: "......"
Eleanor: "..."
Rosef: "......"
Chapter Four: Joint Request
President Hoffer is really unconventional, haha...
Eleanor chuckled inwardly.
If it were me, being called an idiot by the whole country every day, I definitely wouldn't be able to maintain such a good mindset.
After telling that not-so-funny joke, Hoffer launched into a barrage of questions.
"Rosef, how are you injured now?"
"What did the doctor say?"
"Can you get out of bed now?"
"Have you had any nightmares?"
Miss Rosef was not given a chance to speak at all.
Only after Hoffer finished asking the question could the white hamster seize the opportunity to mimic its mother's tone and reply:
"I'm fine, Madam President, thank you for your concern."
"Really? Great, I'm relieved!"
Hoffer, on the other end of the phone, breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, as if she had thought of something, her tone became slightly serious.
"Rosef, I have ordered the most rigorous interrogation of your assassin, and I guarantee to give you an explanation in the shortest possible time!"
"We've made some progress; that person is simply an antisocial individual."
"Because of unemployment and a long-term stomach ulcer, he developed some mental problems and wanted to kill all the rich people."
"Fortunately, you're alright."
"Otherwise, he would be the eternal sinner of this federation!"
Upon hearing this, Miss Rosef's body suddenly trembled.
Are you sure everything's alright?
Even though Mom has already...
There is nothing worse than losing a loved one; when you don't think about it, it's not so bad.
But once a certain memory is unintentionally triggered.
His emotions then spiraled out of control.
Rosef couldn't stop the tears from welling up in her eyes.
She bit her lip hard, trying to keep her emotions from collapsing.
If you cry in front of Hoffer, it's all over.
However, the pain was too overwhelming, and it seemed that it was about to be forcibly released.
Rosef closed her eyes.
It's all over.
next second.
Eleanor burst into tears.
Rosef suddenly opened her eyes and was surprised to find that, for some reason, most of the sadness in her chest had disappeared.
Meanwhile, Eleanor was completely bewildered.
In just a moment, his heart was completely transformed.
Even though nothing had happened, Eleanor felt as if her parents had died.
Tears kept flowing.
Lucy noticed the odd behavior, her gaze darting quickly between Eleanor and Rosef, and soon guessed the reason.
Soulmates!
And that is indeed the truth.
The one who responded to Rosef's helpless plea was Eleanor.
Eleanor couldn't hold back her tears, and Lucy quickly pointed to the door.
Go cry outside the study!
Whatever you do, don't let Hoffer hear this!
Eleanor ran out and closed the door.
The next second, a heart-wrenching wail came from outside the door.
"Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!!! Mommy!!!!"
What was that sound?
Hoffer still heard some noise. "Rosef, what happened on your end?"
"N-nothing's wrong."
Rosef quickly said, "It's probably my housekeeper, you know, they've all been worried sick about me lately."
"Oh, I see."
Hoffer accepted this explanation; since she hadn't heard it clearly anyway, she simply dropped the subject.
call
Rosef breathed a sigh of relief.
