"What do you think?" Although Rofuss had an answer in mind, he still asked Hale. In front of Hale, there was no need to pretend to be profound.
Within Rofuss's team, Secretary of State Hale had the most solid standing.
Seven years ago, when Rofuss won his first election, Hale was his think tank and right-hand man, who later became Secretary of State. During the second election, Hale continued to assist Rofuss. This year, Hale stepped forward once again, using the pretext of international tensions to lobby the veterans of the Democracy Party, convincing them to support Rofuss's third run for presidency. So far, nearly half of the founding fathers had been persuaded by Hale.
If Rofuss were to be elected president for the third time, Hale would be the first he'd thank.
