While the day broke, Christopher repeated his intention to Hudson again in the office; he also had it discussed with the secretary, even demonstrated little to the public.
As this got Olivia attention, she got provoked and approached Hudson at office. Coming with the full again in her, she discharge it before him. "How could you be so inactive to this extent? You are about to betray me; you know of this and yet remain silent." She tried yelling at the Governor; who is with the state secretary at the time she walked into his office without giving him notice. "Have you lost your sense of reasoning?" Hudson asked, "The fact that I am your father-in-law doesn't warrant your coming into my office without giving me notice or even a knock at the door." He scolded her. As you can see, I am having a meeting with Noah, the state secretary; you can wait outside until I am done having the meeting.
She left his office, waiting in her car. She waiting when Hopeton drove in and packed beside her car. He lower his car window as to exchange greetings with her. "Good day, Mrs, Olivia." He greeted humbly. But she appeared to be dumbfounded by his greetings. "Hello, young lady," he called again. Olivia turned and said "I have no business with you, so hold your greetings; your are Excellency." He put on a smiling face, and looking at his back, Noah Car the secretary packed in the garage there.
He knew that must be having a meeting with the Governor. So he decided to wait until the meeting is over.
"This is a family issue, and I think it is right that you resolve it gently, your Excellency." Noah advised him. "Women see things from other perspectives, which don't profit them enough; she couldn't have jumped into my office yelling in such a manner, paraventure the press are here, this will then be captured if it hasn't." He answered him. "This politics, where the unexpected is done, I think is right that you called on Christopher to speak meekly with him; I believe he will surely restrain from his decision, that I know." He suggest for him. They continued with the purpose of the meeting until they were done. Noah coming out had a hand shake with Hudson before leaving with his entourage. It eft with Hopeton and Olivia who to first see the Governor. "You can go and see him first." Christopher spoke to her humbly.
"I don't need your permission; beside, I am there already." She moved into the office. As Christopher sat alone, he said to himself, "With this attitude she has displayed, this alone will disqualify her, standing as a evidence of be a weak leader, if I have intention of stepping down before now, I won't, she have shown me that the alabama future won't be safe in her hands." He spoke within himself.
She quickly rushed to the office; this time around, she had to seek proper permissionf from the Governor personal assistance before going in, which she did and was allowed in after seeking consent from Hudson.
"I know your anger, my daughter, and I am trying my possible best to calm it down. Please have your seat, as Christopher comes forward, to alliance with us. He requested from her. She sat, but with a boiling heart.
" But this....." She wanted to make a comment when Hudson interrupted.
"Calm down. I understand your anger." He then called Christopher on the phone to come over, be a humble individual, but dangerous when he had concluded on a matter, he stepped into the office.
And was asked to sit down as they were served a chill juice order by Hudson.
"It is obvious that you have decided to take over power after me, and I know you have all it takes to have it. However, I have called you both here for us to alliance as a body and not to create division, which won't lead us anywhere." Hudson said. pleading to have things settle peacefully.
Olivia had expected Christopher to give a positive answer to that. Until she was shocked by the responses he gave. "Well, your Excellency, just as I have said, I am not going back; moreover, am ready to take her as my vice; sure, she will lead Alabam with me, with sincerity and integrity, more than as you have done" responding gently and counting every word of his statement.
"This wasn't the promise you gave me; that made me quite my relationship and have your son as my husband," Olivia remind Hudson. and added, your Excellency, Christopher, you need to restrain yourself from this. I am to take after him, not you; moreover, you didn't show signs of having interest in the position at first. Why now, if not to cause mischief?".
Christopher, with his legs crossed on each other, looked at her at the same time did thesame to Hudson on; he wanted to hold his speech, but Olivia was putting words into his mouth. "Yes, I might not show interest in this at the beginning, but remember, Alabama can't be continuously led by the same family, and on the other hand, he won the Seat because I was at his side as the vice, the heart of Alabama. Now, it is time I take the post fully, for my people to enjoy more than they had expected from his Excellency Hudson." He answered her.
The more he speaks, the more Olivia gets provoked. "I am trying to save you disgrace, because I know that with the power bestowed on me as president, I will surely win the hearts of the masses for her." Hudson wanted to scare him.
"There is no need to scare me, your Excellency; it is politics, of which you are done with yours. Speaking of power, you fail it. This is Alabama, and we lead by the choice of the people. Again, you shouldn't have invited me here to discuss this before Olivia, yes, you are the boss, and I the vice, I think I deserve some respect." He told him.
Hudson neverminds if he has done wrong; what he wants is to see that Christopher peacefully calms down and sets down for Olivia, Olivia on the other hand, stood up and said, "I don't think this is the time to negotiate or start pleading; all I know is this, Alabama Governorship position belong to me, I go for what I want, without pleading." She beat her chest, ready to face whatever came out of it.
"The power of a woman," Christopher said, Paused a little and continue "But this time around, that power will fail you. Nevertheless, I have given you a golden opportunity of becoming my vice, that allow will you be in power. The offer await you, but in a few moment, failure to take it now, I will offer it to an individual that see it value than you do."
Hudson has begun to see more seriousness in Hopeton, seeing that he is prepared to take the bull by the horns. He then maintains silence, allowing them to keep speaking. After a while, Olivia left the office and made her way to the radio station to announce and remind the public of her interest in becoming Alabama Governor. This time around, comment was dropped on her blog by many, not really given her much support. She then learned that the whole masses had turned their minds toward Christopher.
" How will I face my mother, infact, is it just my mother, what about the solid and lovely relationship I have broke with Charles, given Deborah the opportunity to have him. No, I don't believe that I am a loser, this just a starting point, the end justify the mean." She encouraged herself and kept on reading through her blog. At the other hands, Hudson with much assurance and confident on his position still don't want to give up, or think that Olivia have failed or Christopher taken over the position after him. As he got home, he assured Olivia of the position, this time around, he promised with all his might and power, provided he is able to placed her there.
" You better do that your Excellency, because this wasnt what we agreed on." Olivia again, remind him.
Meanwhile, Isabella, was listening to their conversation from the dinning room, she laughed within herself and said, " they thought they are smart, little did they know, that their cup will be filled one day, let me see how she get the power. Desperate beings."
