President Grant had a lengthy discussion with First Lady Dianne about her attitude towards Alexa and her visitor."Don't screw this up, embarrassed Alexa in front of her guest and I would make sure you regret it for the rest of your life.Do you understand that?!"He angrily warned her, smoke coming out of his nostril.
First, Lady Dianne knew when President Grant meant what he said, and she better abide, or she could end up in the street of Washington, DC.After receiving an earful from the President,she doesn't have any choice but to concede or else.Therefore, as soon as they came back to the table, her demeanor changed to now a perfect host, her face that could barely move from too much plastic surgery was forced to conjure a plastic smile as well.
President Grant sat down at the head of the table and started looking around to see if Alexa had come back.When he saw that she was with Daniel and the Prince, he felt relief and at ease.He motioned to someone to serve him food so he could start eating and finally enjoy that gathering.
While he was waiting for his food, he secretly watched the interaction between Alexa and Prince Alexander.He doesn't like what he's seeing in Prince Alexander's eyes as he looked at Alexa. It's the look a man gave when they want to devour someone.And it would not be his Princess if he could help it.
President Grant continued observing the interaction between the two.As he was watching, little by little, his eyebrow starting to raised almost touching each other.He doesn't like what he's seeing, especially when Prince Alexander kept on holding on to Alexa's when they were shaking hands.He was about to intervene, luckily the Prince finally let go, and he saw Alexa quickly leaving them and went towards her friend from the Philippines.
He breathed a sigh of relief when Alexa left, based on his observation, Alexa was not interested in him at all.'That's good! That's good, indeed!'He thought to himself and leaned back and relax while waiting for his food to arrive.
What President saw happening was also seen by Ramon, whose face is now unreadable from eating vinegar.He wanted to get closer to Alexa, but afraid to offend the President and Daniel Grant.He would bid his time and wait for the opportunity when everyone leaves, and there's only him.He plans on sticking around, now that he found her, he would not let her get away this time.
Then, there's Lady Lucy Le Grand who's in deep thought of how she could manipulate the First Lady into matching Ramon with Alexa.She knows it would be tough since the First-Lady was set to pair up Ramon with Jane Si, which was not a bad idea at first.However, things had changed now that Alexa came in into the picture.She's a much better deal than that spoilt-rotten Jane Si.
Jane Si was also watching while plotting how to get rid of Alexa in her mind. 'The sooner, the better.I need to get rid of you, one way or the other Alexa Grant!'She thought with a sly smile on her quirky mouth.
The First-Lady saw that smirk on Jane Si's face, and she worried that she would make a mess of everything and both of them could be kicked out in the gutter.She needed to do something before it's too late.
"Jane, why don't you accompany me in greeting the guest properly this time." First Lady Dianne ordered her a little sternly and with a warning glare.
Jane Si might be a spoilt brat, but she's not stupid and played along.She could not afford to offend her Godmother/Aunt and the President in the process, or she might get banned in entering the White House in the future.
The two went around to the IAMAC group and greeted them properly, while Alexa was with her brother and the Prince.They don't want to be around when she comes back; therefore, they did the greeting half fast.
"Hello! Ladies, I hope you were all enjoying yourself?We were not properly introduced, I'm First-Lady Dianne, and this is my niece, Jane Si."She said with a sweet smile plastered on her face.
Ann, Eva, Lea, and Andrea were polite enough to greet her back before going back to their conversation as if they never existed.First-Lady Dianne and Jane Si have no choice but to return to their corner as the men decided to join the ladies.
Jane Si eyes widen when she realizes that Ethan was among the guests and made a 90-degrees turn to greet him, especially."Hi!Remember me?Hawaii?"However, she did not elaborate after Hawaii.Jane Si doesn't want her Aunty to know what she did then, and it's embarrassing for the family.
Unfortunately, Ethan couldn't remember her at all and just politely responded, " I'm sorry, but I don't remember you at all. " Before turning his attention back to his girlfriend and future wife, Eva Wen.
Jane Si's face becomes sullen and has no choice but to turn around and follow the First Lady while sulking the whole time and in deep thought.' What is wrong with all these male species?Are they all have bad sights that they could not see my beauty? It must be because I had been out of the limelight for a long time.It's time for me to go back home and show these people who I am.'
She decided to face time with her parents in the Philippines. She got up and found a more secluded place in the garden before making her call."Father, how much longer am I ban from going back there? It has been almost a year already, and my fans would forget me already."Jane Si was acting all pitiful in front of her Cellphone while the camera was facing her."Please! Daddy...!"
"I'll see what I could do, alright!Be patient, it would not be long, and once I finalize the deal with Mega Entertainment Agency, I would let you know right away.Let me go, today I have an appointment with the new President, and it's a good friend of mine, Sophia Wen."Mr. Si hangs up without waiting for Jane Si to cry some more.
