Ungrateful

"Nippon is discussing the possibility of joining the Earth Defense Alliance."

A report was placed on Hill's desk, and Secretary of State Kerry walked to the sofa in the office and sat down. He picked up the cup of coffee and took a sip to soothe his throat. "The issue doesn't only involve Nippon being swayed—the same goes for Australia and New Zealand."

"Ungrateful." The chief of staff standing next to Hill cursed under his breath.

"What about our nuclear power assistance project?" Hill opened the document that Kerry tossed on her desk. She glanced at the report with a serious tone.

Kerry shook his head and said, "It's useless. For now, our nuclear power project isn't attractive to Nippon. Two months ago, the half-year discussion between Exelon Nuclear Power Company and the Eastern Power Company of Nippon was canceled, and it's meaningless to talk about nuclear power at this point."
