One Night With The Prince

Alexa left after excusing herself from everyone to see who it was that came looking for her. Ria, who was waiting patiently for Alexa, had a grim look on her face as soon as she saw that Alexa's eyes were puffy and red.

"What happened? Are you alright? That girl, isn't it? She told on you, and you got scolded by the President, right?" Ria asked full of concern for her charge.

"No, it's not that. It's something else. I... I actually made a fool of myself just now. It's a long story, and I'll tell you some other time." Alexa heaved a huge sigh. She made it sound like the whole world was crumbling down on her as she continued walking towards the visitor's section.

Ria didn't push the issue any further as she knew that in due time, Alexa would open up to her when it was the right time. For the meantime, she would just stay by her side and do her best to guide her as President Grant tasked her to.

Lucas and Logan saw how sad Alexa was looking when she walked out of the parlor. However, what could they do was their task which had been to guard her and nothing more. All they could do was to follow her along the corridor as she dragged her feet all the way to the visitor's section.

The visitor sections had a two-way mirror where they could see the person on the other side, but they could not see them. Therefore, Alexa was able to take a look at the person that wanted to see her before actually meeting the person.

When they arrived, the person wanting to meet with her was busy looking at something on her cellphone. Therefore, they could not see her face at all.

"Do you know who it is?" Ria asked curiously, scanning the appearance of the lady inside the visitor's room.

"Hmmm! She sort of looks familiar. But I can't think of where I have met her before. I know it has got to be in the Philippines, but where exactly?" Alexa kept on trying to search her memory that she became curious as to why this person would be looking for her and at the White House at that.

Alexa and Ria were busy looking at the visitor while Logan and Lucas, who were standing right behind the two girls, were also curious who the person was. Suddenly she raised her head, and Alexa had a full view of her, and it dawned to her who the person was. 'It's Ms. Garcia, in person!' "OMG! How did she know I was here? She's a VIP!" Alexa exclaimed and quickly opened the door to welcome her guest.

"Ms. Garcia! How are you? Oh, my gosh! What are you doing here? How did you know I was here? This is a surprise!" Alexa rushed to the lady in question and quickly gave her a tight embrace to welcome her! "This is unbelievable, and I am truly amazed!" She muttered while still hugging the older lady tightly.

"Alright! Enough, you are suffocating me! Let me breathe Alexa!" Ms. Garcia told Alexa with a loud voice, trying to breathe while giggling.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I got too excited and didn't realize that I am almost killing you in return. Hahaha!" Alexa joked with Ms. Garcia, feeling embarrassed by what she had already done.

"Hahaha! No, harm done my child! Come, let me look at you! Not bad, not bad at all. You cleaned up pretty well, this is a good sign, and I like it!" Ms. Garcia twirled Alexa around and around, then looked at her from head to toe with a bright smile on her face.

"Did you know what I had to go through to be able to get in to see you? Why didn't you tell me that you have such a connection? I was given ten degrees and had to provide so many credentials just to be able to get this far. Hahaha!" Ms. Garcia jokingly informed Alexa.

"Oh, I'm sorry! It's protocol, you know! Even I have to go through the same thing. Hahaha!" Alexa joked back, and they both started laughing out loud.

Alexa wondered if she could bring Ms. Garcia inside to meet everyone. So she got up and asked Ria quietly. "Do you think I could you know... take her to meet everyone?" She asked whispering, barely audible. She did not want Ms. Garcia to overhearing her question.

"Ms. Grant, to reply to your question, you must ask them for permission before letting anyone enter the threshold of the First Family. You must abide by the rules and follow procedure, do you understand?" Ria explained to Alexa straight-faced.

Alexa knew that already. She just wanted to ask Ria to see if she would be able to bring Ms. Garcia to her quarters without having to introduce her to everyone in the parlor. Especially the First Lady Dianne, Lady Lucy Le Grand, and Jane Si. 'I guess there is no way out of it' she then had to go and ask for permission first.

First, Lady Dianne saw Alexa right away and couldn't wait to ridicule her. "Are you just going to stand there or are you going to bring your friend and introduce to us? What? Do you think we are not good enough to meet your friend, is that what it is?" She followed up with a sneer.

"That is the exact reason I came back. It was to ask for permission to bring my friend in. Hahaha! Please excuse me," Alexa laughed awkwardly and quickly made a 180-degree u-turn and left as fast as she came without waiting for a response from the First Lady.

"Hahaha! She got you on that one, she was hesitating and wondering how she was going to ask, but you just gave her permission without knowing who that person might be. Hahaha! Serves you, right!" Grandmother Grant bantered to the First Lady.

The room suddenly got quiet when Alexa returned with Ms. Garcia looking all happy and proud.

Alexa guided Ms. Garcia inside the room. "Everyone, I would like to introduce you to my mentor and manager, Ms. Garcia...- Ms. Garcia, I want you to meet..." Alexa introduced everyone one by one. She started with the President, all the way down to Ramon, who was sitting quietly at the corner sofa.

When Ramon heard that Alexa introduced him to Ms. Garcia, he got up and greeted Ms. Garcia back.

"How do you do, Ms. Garcia?" Ramon got up to properly greet her.

Ms. Garcia's eyes widened when she saw Ramon. "Ramon! Aha! So that's your name! How are you, Mr. Boyfriend?" She mischievously told Ramon.

"BOYFRIEND???" President Grant and Daniel Grant both exclaimed it in unison...
