Chapter 774: 265, President’s Secret News_3
Now that he had spoken of divorcing Florence, it was not the first ti he had ntioned this to Donnie, but the real outco was that Harding chickened out every ti before he took action.
Therefore, when Harding was speaking now, Donnie just listened.
Harding did not know Donnie’s opinion of him, so at this mont, upon hearing Donnie speak in such a way, he imdiately showed a happy expression.
“Haha, I knew Donnie was supporting !”
Donnie laughed, “We’re the best of friends, of course I support you!”
At this ti, other guests also arrived one after the other, among them were Albert Furr and Harry D’Agostino.
Seeing Donnie and Harding chatting so joyfully, both of them displayed their own different expressions.
“Donnie, you’ve been in Washington for several days now, and you only called us today, do you feel there are more important friends to et?”
Albert Furr said with a smile on his face.
Faced with Albert Furr’s provocation, Donnie replied with ease, “I called Mr. Harding the first day I arrived, it’s just that Mr. Harding has been quite busy, and only now have we arranged to et!”
Here Donnie changed his reference to Harding from President to Mister.
“Indeed, that’s the case, Albert, you really are starting to enjoy making so unpleasant jokes among friends!”
This ti Harding stood with Donnie, which made Donnie sowhat puzzled, even with the earlier discussion, it didn’t fit Harding’s character to not give this good friend face at this ti!
In fact, what Donnie didn’t know was that in recent tis, conflicts had arisen between Harding and Albert Furr.
The root of these conflicts was due to the Teapot Do oil field issue.
There were already people starting to use this issue to attack Albert Furr, but Albert Furr, relying on his relationship with Harding and believing he had the backing of the oil tycoons, was indifferent to these accusations.
He even proclaid that it was under Harding’s instructions that he acted this way.
This was the action of an unwise subordinate; a smart one should have taken all the responsibility on his own at this ti, keeping his leader away from any association with the scandal.
No matter whether Harding benefited from this issue, Albert Furr’s behavior had already caused dissatisfaction.
That was why Harding was standing with Donnie this ti.
Harding’s response also made Albert Furr a bit embarrassed.
Fortunately, at such parties, it was certain that these incidents wouldn’t affect the mood, so the subject was quickly changed by soone.
Everyone sat together, enjoying the luxurious food provided by the estate, while talking about so interesting current issues, and from ti to ti laughter filled the room.
At that point, Albert Furr even forgot the incident that had just occurred and began to talk about the stories from before he and Harding beca President.
After the dinner ended, Harding suggested his regular little pasti, playing cards!
“Donnie, it’s only when I’m here that I can play cards without worries!”
Harding spoke of his troubles, saying that even when playing cards in the White House, by the next day so newspapers would know about it, which made Harding feel even more helplessness about his life.
“If you wish, you can co here to rest often. I believe no one here would leak this news, of course, if it’s soone else, I can’t make that guarantee!”
Donnie spoke with an implied aning.
Harding fell silent.
At that mont, a servant ca to Donnie’s side and whispered a few words.
Donnie stood up, “You guys go ahead and play, I have so private matters to take care of!”
Afterwards, Donnie left the place and went outside, where Steve Cotting finally spoke to Donnie.
“Boss, the person has been caught!”
Donnie waved his hand, “Confiscate his cara and send him away!”
It turned out that just now soone had been lurking outside Donnie’s estate, occasionally taking photos with a cara. The person’s hiding ability was very secretive, but for the bodyguards around Donnie, this level of hiding was nothing.
As for the identity of the person, Donnie had already guessed it was likely soone from Florence, the First Lady of the happily playing President Harding.
“Understood!”
Steve Cotting nodded in acknowledgnt.
Just as Donnie was about to go back, Harry D’Agostino ca out.
“Donnie, are you giving up on our friendship?”
Harry D’Agostino asked directly after seeing Donnie.
Donnie asked with a smile, “Dear Harry, why would you ask that?”
Harry D’Agostino said, “In the past when you ca to Washington, you always called first!”
Donnie laughed heartily, “Could it be that you’re jealous, Harry? You should know that I invited other friends over to handle company business!”
Harry D’Agostino looked seriously at Donnie. He had no direct evidence of Donnie drifting away, but the feeling was very strong.
If this had been Donnie’s behavior previously, he wouldn’t have cared, since being in his position, one could beco friends with any group’s Sect Leader.
But now it was different, Donnie’s status was increasingly high, his influence increasingly great.
So much so that Harry D’Agostino believed that even without him, Donnie could still operate his private liquor empire smoothly.
This analysis was what made Harry D’Agostino feel helpless.
“Harry, we are friends, you should know what I’m like with friends, so don’t think about things that haven’t happened. I still hope you can beco my neighbor in Atlantic City after you retire!”
