Too Hot to Quit

  So, the senators voted to suspend further discussions on the Bill for the meantime!

  On his way home after that late-night deliberation, Senator J.L. began to struggle with some uncomfortable thoughts: Had he actually joined some of his folks at Senate to vote down the Bill in order to satisfy Sheryl? Was his decision good for America or was it only a selfish step that might probably back-fire?

  Having heard that the Bill had been dropped for future deliberation, Sheryl had disappeared into bedroom to quickly inform her oil tycoon father.

  “A good development, Sheryl,” she heard him say on the other side of the line, elatedly.

  “I think six months are adequate for you to transfer your investments from those Russian companies producing the nuclear materials. I heard the Bill will have to rest for at least six months to one year while the investigations about Iran’s nuclear activity are being conducted,” she said.

  “Definitely,” her father replied. “And thank you so much for your efforts. You’ve saved me billions of dollars that could have gone down the drains. Your actions are also good for our homeland, Russia,” he appreciated his daughter’s great sacrifices.
