Guide:Season 1,Ep 3
“She asked about you,” Cyrus said under his breath as he joined you on your shift. Both of you are now looking out into the crowd as you see Olivia glide across the dance floor with Bill in hand at the state dinner.
Cyrus sighed as he was met with a silence that was kept over on your end as you now watch her flood into the president's arms with a gleam in her eyes once she settled her sight upon you. A smile was sent to her in return- That was until the crowd moved in a bit trying to bask in the president's presence cutting into your line of vision, though keeping you on guard.
“Why are you telling me this?” you responded to Cyrus’s question with deep thought although it seemed delayed.
“Because you need to talk to her”. Cyrus states as you give him a pointed look and he begins to lead you to a vacant side of the room “Look we are a team, our job is to look after the president, and ensure the safety of this country” he mutters as he peers around his shoulder.
“So you’re saying Olivia’s a threat," you said with a scoff in disbelief. Before Cyrus can even utter a word you look back at him and continue “May I remind you who was the one that was called to be on his campaign, who led his presidency, got him to where he is right now, and knows the public better than anyone. Why would all that hard work and knowledge be put to waste? She’ll make sure that the president’s career isn’t jeopardized, meaning that the people of this country won’t be either. Now if you’ll excuse me I have to go to my next post.” You say as you make your way past Cyrus and towards the balcony.
“Come with me” the president says to Olivia as she looks away, eyes drifting out past the crowd. “Meet me at our spot in ten minutes”.
“No.” Olivia states still not meeting his gaze.
“I’m not spending any more time away from you” the president responds.
“Stop it. We’re in public, look away.” Olivia said with no hint of pressure removed from her tone.
“I know I don’t have the right, I know.” the president starts as he looks past her shoulder. “I know that you don’t trust me but I love you” he continued.
“Your wife is ten feet away.” Olivia reminded him.
“I love you” he pressed on.
“What about Amanda” Olivia cuts in.
“I.Love.You.” The president restates whilst he emphasizes each word as he begins to look at her. Stopping her in her tracks to look at him for a split second until she realized the song was coming to an end bringing her back to reality, having her let go and begin clapping towards the band. Thus leading the president to follow suit.
“Our spot, in ten minutes.” the president says while clapping.
“You can’t leave your own state dinner”. Olivia states as she noticed you halfway up the stairs making your way to the second floor.
“Watch me.” the president challenges whilst beginning to make his way towards the stairs.
Olivia glanced in that direction and noted you were past the stairs and on your way towards the main balcony which was ironically close to the old spot the president and herself once shared.
Although Olivia had no intention of meeting the president, at that moment she decided it was best to wait a bit before she made her way to the main balcony. Throughout that time she had a glass of champagne hoping that would cool her nerves as she made her way up stairs. It’s been a long while since you last saw each other. Long enough for her to-
“Oh Cyrus, Hello?.” Olivia states as she tries to make her way through the hallway. But noticed two agents with him.
“I don’t know what you think you’re playing at liv but I don’t take kindly to blackmail.” Cyrus states.
“I’m sorry what?” Olivia asks, confused about what’s going on.
“ I never took you for the hell hath no fury type it’s a little trashy but so is having an affair with a married man.” Cyrus says smugly.
“You want to be careful Cyrus with how you speak to me because I might forget that we are friends now if you’ll excuse me.” Olivia responds and tries to move past Cyrus only to get blocked by him again.
“What happened you danced? He said he loved you? Wh-what are you gonna do? Are you gonna meet him right now? He’s good” he says with a scoff. “He has you in the palm of his hand. You're being played. You're being played by the best politician in the world. The upside? The tell-all book that you can write when you're old is “The President's whοre". It's all very dirty and a best seller. These very nice agents are gonna escort you off the White House grounds. And you can tell Amanda Tanner that the meeting with the President is off.”
“No,” Olivia states.
“No?!” Cyrus says in disbelief, ready to laugh.
“No,” Olivia states again firmly. “Your agents will not lay a hand on me as I make my way past them nor will they follow me, because if they do I will have to subject myself into making a scene. Do you know what happens when I make a scene? Cyrus”. She says while emphasizing his name. “People talk and when they talk they also ask questions, questions reporters start to ask, and love to find the answers to especially when it’s from a primary source. So this, whatever you’re trying to do here is counter productive. Now get out of my way, all of you”. She declared firmly. Causing Cyrus to glare at her but still nod his head to the side in defeat. Signaling those agents to part ways so that Olivia can pass through so that she can make her way to the main balcony As Olivia makes her way onto the balcony she’s met with your back as you lean forward on top of the balustrasde.
“Hi-“ Olivia started off behind you before you spun around in surprise.
“OH MY GOSH!” You whispered loudly while clutching your heart. You had been in such deep thought you didn’t think anyone would appear. “You scared me," you stated while catching your breath.
“Sorry.” Olivia said but soon looked away trying to hide her face.
“What is it?” You asked curiously.
“Nothing it’s just that-“ she started off before her laughter took over. “It’s just that I didn’t think that being a scaredy cat was a secret service qualification”. She finished off while making her way towards you.
“What? Are you kidding me?”, you said looking back at her with a tone that mocked disbelief as you laughed along with her. “It’s the most important quality to have, being on edge so that no one else has to.” You say holding your smile now looking outwards with your forearms on the balcony’s balustrade, As she made her way right next to you.
“It’s been a while.” She says, leaning her head on your arm looking off into the distance.
“I know.” You responded as you look down at your hands. “I missed you.” You say as you look down at her.
“I miss you too.” she says as she looks up at you into your eyes caught in a daze until she decides to blink back outwards. “My offer still stands you know.” she continued, still looking outwards.
“I don’t think the president would enjoy you recruiting his staff, especially at his state dinner.” you teased, causing her to chuckle and move her head off your arm. “Besides who said I didn’t already take it up.” You state as you nudge her shoulder a little, keeping a small smile. Though Olivia responds back with a puzzled look. “Cyrus thinks you’re a threat.” You say whilst sighing. “He thinks you're trying to sabotage the president.” You state while moving your forearms away from the balustrade taking some steps back. “He’s becoming delirious so you need to be careful.” you warned as you made your way towards the balcony exit. Before leaving you decided to turn to the side to let Olivia know one last thing. “I’ll always be on your team so that’s not something you have to worry about.” You state with a smile before turning your heel and heading out to your next post. As she watches you leave she can’t help but start to smile though it soon falls away as she’s lost in thought.
Thank you for tuning in!!!
