The Old Mistress didn't believe it; she even wondered if this was just a coy game of rejection and invitation by Purple Summers? After all, who could resist wealth and power?
Was this child too young, never having tasted the allure of influence, hence ignorant of its splendor?
Or perhaps, this really was a misunderstanding, and she wasn't Christopher Simonson's child at all?
The Old Mistress's thoughts were complicated as she stared silently at the television.
Old Master Simonson made a phone call to inform his trusted subordinates that due to Purple Summers' public interview, they had to revise the contingency plan they had prepared the night before.
While waiting, the interview on the television continued.
The host was famously sharp; they never held back when criticizing politicians.
