Chapter 52

.

The day before thanksgiving Bianca had a final meeting with Conner, Abe, and Sarah. By this point all the news was talking about was president Ortega having a baby with his own vice-president. Bianca and her staff discussed how to deal with it.

.

Bianca: There's nothing illegal about this. He's divorced, she's a widow, so it's not even adultery.

Abe: Yeah, but he didn't acknowledge his responsibility right away. It seemed like he was about to deny being the father, but had a sudden attack of conscience.

Bianca: Possibly, but he did take responsibility, and he never actually lied to the people.

Sarah: Walker and others of the far-right aren't making that distinction. Frankly, they're doing our work for us. We stay out of it, and we look better.

Bianca: I do feel bad for the kid, being dragged into this political mess before it's even born. Maybe we should say something about that.

Sarah: That could be seen as a cheap political stunt.

Bianca: Good point. But if Walker and his crowd get too nasty, I will say something. I guess that about covers it. Have a good thanksgiving, I'll see you all on Monday.
