2020-08-20 09:16:40While Alexa was shadowing the 'foreign guest,' she learned the ins and outs of the Beauty Pageant business. She needed to learn as much as she could for her future in the industry.
Deep in her heart, she knew that she still had a lot to learn, but she was determined to accomplish her dream even if it killed her.
Finally, it was the end of the week, and Alexa ended her shadowing. As much as she loved the job, it was very tiring and energy-consuming. She was exhausted.
Just as she was about to leave the lady approached her and asked with sincerity in her voice, "Alexa, if you have time tonight, I would like to have dinner with you to discuss something important. Are you available?"
She answered, "Yes, Madam! I'm available."
'Even if I were not, I would make sure to make myself available!' Alexa thought while giving her the best smile that she had been practicing for a long time.
"Good! Do not worry about dressing up. It is a casual dinner. Be here around 3 PM., that should give us enough time." The lady instructed.
Alexa was thinking to herself about the time her temporary boss indicated. "Madam, isn't 3 PM a little early for dinner? I'm just wondering..." She asked with a questioning gaze.
"Just come back around that time. You'll soon find out why, alright?" the lady said a little irritably.
Alexa saw her reaction and to rectify the situation, she answered. "Yes, Ma'am! I will be here promptly at 3 PM. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave." She gave her a respectful bow, then proudly left.
The foreign lady had a half-smile on her face when Alexa left.
What she had planned for their dinner was a test to prove if she was correct with her assumptions or not. She wanted to see if Alexa would have what it takes to be the new talent that she was looking for.

Alexa was standing at the bus stop when her cousin Andrea called. She fumbled with her cell phone and almost dropped it before she was even able to answer. Luckily, someone was fast enough to catch it before it fell onto the ground and shattered.
"Thank you!" Alexa said after taking her phone back from the stranger.
"No big deal, it's a good thing it didn't drop. It would have shattered into pieces for sure." The stranger was trying to make small talk.
"Yup! Man, I would have been in deep shit with my grandma if that happened." She replied calmly.
"Alexa, you don't recognize me, do you?" The stranger asked her with anticipation.
Alexa looked at the stranger with a straight face, without blinking. She assessed him first with his face, then she backed up a little, and got ready to bolt. "Man, if I offended you or have done something wrong, I'm sorry, OK?!" Terror was written all over Alexa's face, but she was still ready to fight.
"Hahaha! You have not changed a bit. You are still a tomboy, but you sure clean up pretty well." The stranger bantered.
"Wait a minute, do we know each other from the past? I do not recognize you at all?" Alexa questioned with her voice raised.
"Hahaha! Of course, you would not recognize me anymore. The last time you saw me was when I was twelve years old, and I was on the skinny side. Plus, I had braces and thick glasses then." He gave Alexa a wide grin showing straight pearly white teeth. My braces are gone, and I had a Lasik done, so no more glasses either. Moreover, I work out, so I am buff, see!" showing his bicep while flexing his arm.
Alexa looked at him once again. She studied his features for a long time. She thought about what he said, and finally recalled who he was. Her mouth dropped in awe at this realization and exclaimed, "Ramon!!! Oh, my God! Is that you? How can this be? Hahaha!"
"I told you back then, before I left for America, that someday we would meet again, so here I am," Ramon responded.
Alexa got excited, she jumped at Ramon and hugged him, "Hahaha! I can't believe it's you, and you kept your promise that we would meet again."
Ramon was stunned and speechless at her reaction. He stood stiff as a board, not moving, in shock, with a nervous look on his face.
Alexa was overwhelmed with excitement and did not believe that the person in front of her was the same childhood friend that left for America when she was only seven years old. She was devastated when Ramon said his goodbyes. The only comforting words back then were 'we will meet again. I promise!' Those were his parting words, and she kept that in her heart all these years.
Once all the excitement was over, she remembered their happy and sad times. She became overwhelmed with emotion and tears started building in her eyes. Alexa pushed Ramon a little so that she could be face to face with him.
She looked him straight in his eyes and then she started punching his chest, with tears flowing down her beautiful face. "Where have you been? *POW, POW, POW * You are so mean you know that? I waited for your letters all these years, and none came. What happened?" Alexa bombarded him with questions while tears were still running down her face, and some snot was coming out of her nose.
"Hahaha! Slow down, gosh, what's with this..." Ramon pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket, and instead of handing it to her, he wiped her tears first, then the snot that was slowly dripping from her nose.
"You haven't changed at all. Do you know that?! I still must wipe your snot just like when we were kids. You may be taller now and look more like a girl, but you are still the same. Hahaha!" Ramon was so happy that she accepted him back just like he never left at all.

The President's Daughter Be My Fiancé…
While Alexa was waiting for Ramon to finish whatever he was doing in the bathroom, she decided to call her cousin Andrea. Ever since they were little girls, they were always so close like two peas in a pod.They always told each other whatever was going on with their lives.For example, when Andrea was kissed by a boy from school that she did not like, although it was on the cheek, she felt annoyed and violated like she had lost her virginity.Even as adults, nothing has changed between them except for the fact that they now both have jobs, and they have grown up but not apart.Andrea's phone rang a couple of times before she answered. "Hello! Where are you? Have you started having your dinner now? ""No, not yet. Andrea, are you still in the hotel?" Alexa asked with curiosity in her tone."No, why? I just left, and I am on my way to my next appointment. What's up?" Andrea stated."Nothing much, I'm inside Ramon's hotel room and waiting
The President's Daughter Hold Your Thought...
While they were inside the room, Ramon and Alexa were also looking out through the peephole in the door to observe what was going on outside.Ramon could not believe what he was seeing.The man and the lady were still waiting outside for them to come out of the room. He motioned Alexa to go and look while stepping aside to give her space.Alexa peeked and the two were still waiting for her at the door. She thought they were hilarious, and she could not contain her from laughter which was heard outside..."What is so funny?" Ramon asked Alexa who was sitting on the floor laughing so hard she had to hold her stomach."Shh! Be quiet; I need to figure out a way to make them leave.."Alexa went in deep thought and then asked, "How about we let them hear us making out?" She said it straight face indicating her full intent…Ramon responded with "Huh...?"Alexa was thinking naughty thoughts again.. She wanted to make the two people
The President's Daughter Playing A Charade...
Ramon decided to play along with Alexa's charade, and he did well. " Yes, babe! Whatever you want, I'm in your command." He kissed the top of her head while smelling her hair at the same time. "Hmmm...Honey, let's go to our room now!" He lifted Alexa, carried her like a princess, and stormed out of the elevator." Oh... Sweetheart, I want to be with you." She wiped the imaginary sweat from her bosom."Ahhh... I feel so...hot and ready.." Alexa made sure her voice carried loud enough for the two to hear as they passed by.Antella thought to herself, 'Watch it, man, she is mine. Damn!'The Prince said to himself upon hearing Alexa's conversation,'Sh*t, who is this ugly looking guy, he's annoying as hell. Do you think I'm going to let you have my future wife? I don't think so!'Prince Alexander did not show his jealousy. Instead, he stood still in shock, looking like one of those Greek statues... Lady Antella was utterly shocked by what she heard.
The President's Daughter Making A Big Mistake...
"Hello! This is Lady Antella speaking, whom may I ask?" She said it loud and clear for Alexa and Ramon to hear. As if that was not enough, she put the phone on a speaker just as the other person was about to say something.Prince Alexander saw what she did, grabbed the phone, and turned it off as fast as he could before Alexa was able to hear what the person on the other end of the line was saying."WTF!!!" She kicked Prince Alexander's knees, and then she tried to grab her phone out of his hands. The effort was worthless, Prince Alexander is a head taller than Lady Antella, and she could not reach the phone at all when he raised his hand high up onto the sky.She forgot that she was a Lady and swore like a truck driver.You f*cking assh*le, you SOB give me my phone back, or I will make you pay."You want your phone? I'll give it back to you, but you need to promise me that you will fly back tonight and not meet her in person." Prince Alexander neede
The President's Daughter What A Shitty Day!
While Alexa was acting crazy and pushing all the buttons, the elevator stayed wide open for everyone outside to see what's she's doing. Ramon was about to burst into laughter, but he did not want Alexa to get mad at him, so he held back his laughter as long as he could.Finally, after a few seconds, the elevator door closed and started moving up. Only then did Alexa feel relief and slammed down on the floor like a rag doll. "What a shitty day!First, my chance of getting signed as a trainee has gone down the drain. Then, of all the people I run into.Ithad to be that pervert's assistant." Alexa loudly complained to Ramon who's turning red from holding his laughter...Ramon couldn't hold it any longer, he finally gave in and laughed out loud while pointing at Alexa who's still slumping at the floor of the elevator. He laughed so hard that he was in tears.Alexa took out one of her shoes and threw it at Ramon who was still laughin
The President's Daughter Andrea Santos...
"You! Andrea!Where in the world have you been?"Alexa yelled as the door opened.The person right in front of Alexa was her cousin Andrea who had been missing in action, and Alexa had been trying to contact her for a whole week without luck." Your phone had been unreachable, and when I went to your house, Aunty told me you're on a business trip abroad. What's up with that?" Alexa was glaring at Andrea with anger as she scolded her for not calling her back."Give me a hug before you bombard me with questions!" Andrea pulled her cousin in an embrace.As she hugs Alexa, she looks over and realizes that a man is standing right behind Alexa. A very handsome man who looks perfect in his outfit.Alexa, who is this hunk?Is he your newfound boyfriend?" Andrea was half kidding, but she was shocked to hear Alexa's reply. "What if he is my boyfriend? You got a problem with that!"Alexa pulls out from Andrea's embrace.She pull
