Chapter 69 Carbon Copy of her Mother

Meanwhile, at the White House:

"Nothing!I just heard you mentioned a name Alexa Grant and A childhood friend of mine back in the Philippines, and her name is also Alexa Grant."Ramon replied nonchalantly.

Jane Si and First Lady Dianne looked at each other without saying a word.Both were thinking the same thing.'Could Alexa be the same person Ramon was talking about?She's from the Philippines and how many people in the whole world would have the same name?Hmmm!'Jane Si was giving First Lady a meaningful glance.

'This is a coincidence, and they would need to look into this matter more deeply. 'Jane Si and First Lady Dianne were speaking with their mind as they looked at each other.

Lady Lucy Le Grand was stunned to hear Alexa's name as well, and she looked at how her son's face turned brightly after hearing the girls name.She couldn't help herself worry if this is the same girl.'She needs to do something, or First Lady Dianne would not be happy with Ramon being infatuatedto this girl.'

"Why don't we forget about Alexa and let's discuss your impending birthday party.What are you planning on wearing on your birthday?Lady Lucy Le Grand quickly changed the subject to First Lady Dianne's favorite item.Clothing...

Once First Lady Dianne hears the subject of clothing, she forgot Alexa and Jane Si's grievance.They happily started talking about designer this, a designer that...

Jane Si has no choice but to sit down and join the conversation while trying her best to flirt with Ramon and to get his attention.

However, Ramon's mind is now far-far away. He's in deep thought of how he could excuse himself and see if he could get a glance of this person Alexa Grant.Deep inside of him, he could feel to his bone that this person and his Alexa is the same person, and he needed to find that out asap.

What he couldn't conjure at the moment and wondering is what is her relationship with the First Family is?'Grant!'Could it be that the President is her biological father?No, way!'With that thought, his facial feature suddenly turned somber once again.'If that's the case, then she's a lot further for me to reach now. What am I going to do?'"Ahhh" He exclaimed loud enough for the three ladies to hear and wonders why?

Ramon realizes that he exclaimed a little too loud, with his sad looking face, he apologized and asked if he could go out in the garden and get some fresh air while they're chatting.

"Sure! Go ahead!We will be a while, and I'm sure you don't want to listen to us ladies speak about fashion. Hahaha!"First Lady Dianne said while pointing to the direction of the private garden of the First Family."Better yet, why don't Jane here accompany you, she's familiar with the outlet of the White House, she basically grew up here."She followed up with a kind gesture.

Ramon was going to decline, but he thought of how First Lady might get upset if he does. "If it's alright with Miss Si, I would love too, and I would be delighted to have her company and give me a tour."He replied with a half smile on his face showing his dimples on both of his cheeks.

Jane Si was in the moon once she heard him say, he would be delighted for her to accompany him.She quickly got up and tucked her arms with Ramon, "Let's go!I'll show you where Aunties beautiful and rare orchids."The two walked out hand in hand, leaving the two old ladies grinning from ear to ear.Both were thinking the same thing. "That's it. We might have a wedding by the end of the year."First, Lady Dianne told Lady Lucy Le Grand proudly.

Not a minute that Jane Si and Ramon left for the tour of the Garden, Alexa and Daniel Grant came in.They politely greeted Lady Lucy Le Grand without really paying attention to her, and then both went to give First Lady Dianne a lite embrace and kiss on her cheek.

"Hmmm!'Was all the greeting they received from the First Lady. Before turning her attention back to Lady Lucy.First, Lady wonders what's wrong with Lady Lucy. She's paled and dead white while looking at Alexa."Are you alright, Lady Lucy?

Lady Lucy Le Grand was staring at Alexa like she sees a ghost.Alexa looks just like her deceased mother, 'how could that be?'She couldn't believe what she's seeing, and she had to rub her eyes a couple of time to make sure.'Unbelievable!'She thought while she's still staring at Alexa.
