Chapter 25 Attack!desperate housewives

On the morning of July 7th, a large number of celebrations to commemorate Independence Day were held across the United States.

Washington, the National Lawn. President William Conway, who just took office, and First Lady Hannah Conway attended the Folk Art Festival being held here.

Speaking of which, not long ago, William Conway was just the Vice President.The former president, who was once prosperous and popular among the people, was suddenly exposed to the scandal of having sexually assaulted minors, which caused an uproar in public opinion and boiling public resentment. Both the House of Representatives and the Senate called for the impeachment of the president, and a series of emergency crisis public relations measures were announced. After the defeat, the president had to take the blame and resign.

But William Conway's road to the presidency was not smooth either.Before he had time to move from the Vice President's residence in the Naval Observatory Circle to the White House, he ran into the Glenn McConville malfeasance case that shocked the United States. The ensuing crisis of trust among the American people in the White House and Congress was even greater. The young new president was extremely busy and exhausted.

Fortunately, when he appeared at the rally, the attention of the cheering crowd was focused on his tall and straight figure, his handsome and resolute face, and the beautiful first lady who spoke with a distinct British accent. , no one noticed his bloodshot eyes and obviously sunken cheeks.

For security reasons, the U.S. Secret Service, which is responsible for the president's security, chose to cooperate with SHIELD to strengthen the president's security measures.Although Captain America and Iron Man were both in Washington at this time, the appearance of these two would steal the president's limelight, so Captain Rogers temporarily arranged for Peter to dress up as a passerby and blend into the crowd, and Belle joined as the first lady's personal assistant. The President's Team.With them here, they should be able to handle most emergencies that are not too exaggerated.In order to deal with less urgent situations, SHIELD assigned Sharon Carter to pretend to be the deputy of the White House Press Director.They mingled among the entourage, apparently noticing the president's fatigue.

"This job is really not for humans." Belle whispered to Sharon. At this time, the president and the first lady were imitating the classic gesture of the victory kiss amidst warm cheers. "You can't even sleep peacefully." No, I have to worry about being assassinated every time I go out, and I’m always implicated in unreasonable disasters, it’s absolutely terrible.”

Sharon made a silencing gesture and stopped Belle, "Don't talk nonsense. You are now a White House staff member. We are surrounded by reporters. They don't know what you will say if they hear it." How many things have been made up. Besides, your identity is very sensitive now, so don’t attract other people’s attention."

"Don't come here," Belle said with a nonchalant smile, "It's as if those reporters don't know these things. Besides, I feel that I am at the most low-key moment in my life."

This is absolutely true.In order to cater to her status as an entourage of the president and his wife, she rarely restrained her hobby of showing off her legs. She dressed similar to the surrounding staff, and with a pair of sunglasses, she was really very low-key.What's more, the reporters' attention is already on the new president, and no one will pay attention to her.

"You have to treat caution as a instinct, otherwise you will suffer big losses in the future." Sharon said, signaling Belle to concentrate on the task and stop chatting.

The president only appeared at the rally for a short time. He shook hands with everyone, gave a brief speech, walked around, and chatted with the melon-eaters, which lasted only an hour.

The president got into his car and was about to go to the next event. However, the first lady expressed that she was not feeling well and wanted to go back to the White House to rest for a while and prepare for the upcoming dinner.

Sharon and Belle also separated. The former followed the news director and many reporters, while the latter followed to the van intended for the first lady.

Cynthia Spector, the first lady's chief of staff, had been waiting at the door of the car for a long time. She only let the first lady get in the car, and the rest of the staff such as the press secretary, social activities secretary, and schedule director were all stopped. It's outside.

Mrs. Conway got into the car, and as soon as she closed the car door, she rushed into the bathroom and vomited wildly.After she came out, her face was pale, her makeup was messy, her clothes had some wrinkles, and she splashed a lot of water while washing her hands and gargling her mouth.

"Ask Lisa to help me clean up." Mrs. Conway said to the chief of staff who followed the car.

"Madam, you have forgotten that Lisa is still in the White House. When she was out for the past two days, Miss Belle sent by SHIELD was in charge of these matters."

"Is this person reliable?" She glanced at her chief of staff and asked worriedly.

"There is some bad news about her in the media, but she is a candidate strongly recommended by Captain America. SHIELD has also conducted a detailed background check on her, so there should be nothing wrong."

"I mean, if she sees me like this, will there be...?"

Mrs. Conway didn't finish her words. She couldn't think of the right words that could express the current situation without making her gaffe too embarrassing.

"Madam," the chief of staff said seriously, "I don't think you need to worry about this. She is from SHIELD, so she may have known about it for a long time."

When Mrs. Conway saw Belle hand over alprazolam and mineral water, she knew that the chief of staff was right.

"Take the medicine first, madam. When you feel a little better, I will help you change your clothes and put on makeup."

Belle said, placing her hands on Mrs. Conway's temples.The president's wife, who originally felt her heartbeat was racing, her breathing was difficult, and her body was stiff, she relaxed instantly.

"What did you do?" Mrs. Conway looked in disbelief. "This is simply amazing."

"It's a little trick," Belle whispered, "don't tell anyone. If the captain knows that I used my super powers on the First Lady, my good days will be over."

Not long after, Hannah Conway appeared in front of everyone again.

The group quickly returned to the White House under the escort of Secret Service agents.Knowing that the president's wife would not leave the White House again during today's schedule, Belle planned to withdraw.She felt that the atmosphere in the White House was too depressing and that everyone was holding their breath and was too tired. It was no wonder that the glamorous first lady was suffering from panic disorder.

Just as she was about to call Captain Steve to say that the mission was completed, she found Cynthia Specter, the First Lady's chief of staff, coming over.

"Mrs. Conway would like to meet you." Cynthia said straight to the point.

Unexpectedly, she did not take Belle to the first lady's office in the East Wing of the White House, but...

"I'm really sorry, Miss Belle, your working hours should have ended, but I have some personal matters that I want to help you with, and it's not convenient to talk about it in the office. Please don't mind."

Mrs. Conway sat on the sofa with an elegant posture and a calm expression.She pointed to the sofa opposite and motioned for Belle to sit down.

A very stylish afternoon tea set was placed on the coffee table according to British tradition, but what didn't quite match was that there was a laptop next to the three-layer shelf and the teapot, with a bunch of messy windows open on it.

Belle followed the rules and did not look around. Anyway, after seeing Tony Stark's luxurious life, the White House seemed nothing special.She sat opposite Mrs. Conway and received a cup of tea handed to her by the first lady.

"Lapsang Souchong, I heard that your mother is Chinese, so I specially chose this one."

Belle also had to be polite.

"You are so thoughtful. Are these beautiful macarons because you say my father is French?"

"Actually, it's because our chef is very good at making this." Mrs. Conway said, "Of course, I hope you like it."

"You are so polite. I don't know what I can do, otherwise I would be sorry for the first lady to take so much trouble."

"Don't worry about the first lady and the like," Mrs. Conway said with a smile, "You have seen me at my most rude, so I have to treat you as a friend, otherwise it will be too embarrassing. In Here, just call me Hannah and just treat it like a chat between best friends."

Belle knew very well what she wanted to talk about, and it was nothing more than the phobia she had this morning.

"Then you're welcome, Hannah. It should be good for you to take a break once in a while. After all, not everyone expects to become the first lady overnight, right?"

"God, this is the nicest thing I've heard recently." Hannah let out a long breath, relaxed her body, and let her whole body sink into the sofa. "Everyone is saying, 'Hannah, congratulations. ,' and 'Being the first lady must be extremely stressful, but I believe you can do it' and so on. It's been less than two months, and I don't think Will (short for William) or I can survive it. ”

"God, I really wish I were French or Chinese right now. In that case, hearing the news that the president and his wife of the United States can no longer survive, would almost be an early Christmas."

"I also hope that I am still British now, at least no one asks the Prime Minister's wife every day what she thinks about gun abuse. I came to you to ask if you are interested, or if you can do me a favor and stay in "The White House, if things like today were to happen again, we would need you especially."

This was a bit beyond Belle's expectations.

"In fact, I am also experiencing a similar situation myself." Belle put down the teacup, walked to sit down next to Hannah, and continued: "Maybe it's not appropriate to use myself as an example, but I think my two friends The situation is very similar to yours. Because of the identity of your boyfriend, you have fallen into huge troubles and difficulties. At the same time, you are also worried that your significant other will die in the war to save the world. I just gave them a name, It’s called Desperate Housewives.”

"Hahaha," Hannah laughed for a while, "These people you are talking about include Pepper Potts, right? Being Iron Man's girlfriend must be more exciting than being the First Lady."

"Each of these two identities is enough for a person to drink. If I could choose, I would rather continue my peaceful student life."

"It's not that difficult," Hannah said. "Just think of us as helping each other. If you can help Will and I get rid of our panic attacks, I'm also willing to help you restore your reputation. After all, the media's negative attitude towards the First Lady and her Friends are always very tolerant, aren’t they?”

……

On the evening of July 7th, the East Room of the White House.

Under the president's instruction, the National Day banquet was not held as a very formal state banquet, but rather like a combination of a celebration banquet and a family gathering.Congressmen, generals, and celebrities wandered around with wine glasses and chatted with people they were interested in. Even the president and his wife did not have a very grand entrance ceremony, and just mingled with everyone.

However, the media have noticed that there is a beauty next to First Lady Hannah Conway who has never appeared in official events before, and the relationship between the two seems to be very close.

"This seems to be the model who was involved in a gang fight?" a reporter said to his colleagues.

Pepper Potts and the first lady seemed to be old acquaintances. After a few pleasantries between them, Pepper turned her attention to Belle.

"You're quite capable, aren't you?" Pepper whispered, "I originally brought you here just to show your face, but you are so good that you have reached the sky in one step?"

Belle answered her in the same low voice: "This is probably the so-called protagonist treatment."
