What Mattered Most
by Rhiannon and AJ A.K.A. The Diabolically Machiavellian Sisters
When Leo left Jed's office, Jed immediately began to pace all around his office. 'Why did she lie
to me?' Jed wondered. 'Why did she extend the trip? If for no real reason, then why? And this
isn't the first time this has happened either. In fact, it seems to be happening a whole lot more.'
Jed began to feverishly pace his office. 'It keeps happening. She hasn't been on a trip that
wasn't extended in... in... God, I can't even remember when, anymore.' Jed thought.
'What could be going on? What is her reasoning behind doing this?' Jed wondered as he wiped
away all of the sweat beading on his forehead.
With his brain exploding with possibilities explaining all of his questions, he walked back over to
his desk, and picked the phone up.
"Hello, Lilli?" He asked.
"Mr. President, what can I do for you?"
"I was talking to Leo earlier, he said something about the trip's extension was Abbey's idea?"
"Yes, sir. That it was."
"And she had no reason for extending it?"
"Correct again, sir."
"When is your last thing?" Jed asked, crashing into his chair.
"We just got back from it, sir. Why do you ask?"
"Do you know what my wife is doing right now?" Jed closed his eyes.
"Uh, she's in her room, sir. What exactly she's doing, I don't know."
"Okay, thank you." Jed hung the phone up and stared at it for a long time. Picking it up, once again,
Jed dialed some numbers.
"Hello?" A male voice picked up at the other end.
"Who is this?" Jed asked, growing upset by every passing second.
"Who is this?" The male voice asked.
"The President of the United States. Why the hell are you answering my wife's phone?" Jed
barked, as a click sounded on the other end.
