The three of them were instantly made to think that they had a relationship filled with romance despite their huge age difference.
As proof, Alice helped pour wine into David's cup.
"Lady, sir, please enjoy your lunch," said the boss, smiling brighter as he signaled the two waiters to place the food in front of David and Alice.
Alice knew that there was a misunderstanding, but this did not need to be explained. It was better for others to see that they were truly romantic.
Without responding, Alice picked up the fork and knife, indicating that she wanted to eat immediately. With that, the boss left immediately as he couldn't interrupt constantly if the customer had already started eating.
Alice did start eating, stuffing pieces of meat and potatoes into her charming mouth.
Despite her cold expression, she was really elegant when she ate. David couldn't help but keep watching her.
This bothered Alice.
"Hurry up and eat," she said to David, annoyed at being observed.
"You're so cute," David replied as he picked up his fork, laughing softly.
Right after that, there was a sudden burst of interesting news from the tvs hanging on the walls of the restaurant.
"Emergency, the President and Vice President's car has just been attacked. It is suspected that their bulletproof glass has been penetrated," said a female reporter who appeared on the tv.
Upon hearing the reporter's words, almost everyone in the restaurant stood up from their seats except for Alice who continued to eat without taking her eyes in any other direction.
David was no longer interested in eating. His eyes kept staring at the TV.
Unfortunately, there was no more detailed news as the crime scene was heavily guarded by police and soldiers.
They did not allow anyone including journalists to get close.
However, if the glass of their car had been penetrated plus Alice's calmness, David was worried that the President and Vice were really dead.
News like this cannot be covered up. Eventually, it would be revealed to the public.
David then opened his cell phone, thinking that he might be able to find the leaked videos, recorded by people near the scene.
Unfortunately, it seemed too early. No videos had been leaked yet.
"You won't find anything." Alice suddenly spoke causing David to stare at her.
"Why?"
"The US system is too sophisticated. They can make any video around the scene disappear from the internet as soon as it is uploaded," the woman replied.
After saying that, she looked at her watch.
"Soon they will release the news of the President and Vice President's death," she added.
She looked very confident as she said that, making David suspect that she had already organized everything up to that point.
However, even now David still couldn't figure out how she became the President Successor.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, there was a press conference from the White House.
It superseded all other news, and it was news that shook the entire world.
"Are you a congressman?" he asked her.
Alice didn't answer the question as she stood up, she said, "You wait for me here with Mira. You can't get into the White House or you'll just screw up."
After she said that, she immediately took a step to leave.
Since David understood the meaning of her words, he didn't follow. He went to the website of the United States congress, checking the list of members.
When he wrote Alice Morgan's name, it actually appeared.
She was indeed one of the congressmen.
Of course, every congressman was a high-ranking official, but many of them were not well-known because they were less active.
After confirming that Alice was indeed a congressman, David looked at Mira.
When he looked at her, she suddenly went to another table, sat down by herself and ordered lunch.
David rolled his eyes. It seemed that she wanted to keep her distance from him. However, he wouldn't push himself to chase after a rear driver even if she was attractive. He thought if he wanted to fuck her, it was something that would happen on its own.
He fiddled with his phone, looking at the news again.
Now he no longer needed to look at news on news sites. TokTak also has a lot of news made by independent journalists.
What's interesting is the amount of speculation from other users.
Facts and hoaxes are mixed together.
Not only from the United States, but also from other countries. The ease of making short videos coupled with the ease with which each video can go viral allows people to speak as they please.
Although watching the news here only confused David, he liked the sensation.
This makes him happy because it means his app will become more liked, which means more money will come into his account.
David continued to wait at the restaurant.
When his food ran out, he ordered another. He suspected he would wait until later in the evening.
Unfortunately, the White House seems to be closed to ordinary people. No news has leaked from there yet.
There is only footage from outside that shows how many official cars arrive.
Now, every corner of the White House was surrounded by heavily armed soldiers.
They point guns at anyone who is suspicious.
Even recording is prohibited if found although they can't stop that completely.
After a while, news leaked out that the next President had already been decided. It was not the Chairman of Congress but one of the members.
The inauguration will take place later in the afternoon, and the person will be announced shortly before the inauguration.
This was not announced as soon as possible because it was feared that it would cause riots from those who might not like the President's successor.
Tomorrow, the next President will preside over the funeral of the assassinated President and Vice President.
Every activity will be closed for 7 days to mourn their deaths.
