Mag-log inAlexa paid attention to Ms. Garcia. She watched how she gracefully did a catwalk. 'Hmm… that should be easy enough. I can do that. Otherwise, what is the use of all the practice I have done in the past?' she thought inwardly.
The problem was that she practiced barefoot. 'Here goes nothing!' Alexa thought then she made her first step... Then a second step... Third step... Alexa found confidence and continued to walk as she was shown...
"I did it! Hahaha! I did it!" she said with pride and excitement in her voice.
She straightened her posture and did a catwalk with confidence and pride like a real beauty queen, showing her pearly white straight teeth behind her beautiful smile. "What do you think?" She asked Ms. Garcia, waiting to be praised for a well-done job.
Ms. Garcia did not disappoint her, "Good job! That was much better than before. The more confidence you have, the better you get. Now, let us see how well you will perform in front of a different audience." Ms. Garcia ordered her part-time assistant to prepare to leave.
Alexa was a little nervous when she heard what Ms. Garcia said about the audience. All kinds of thoughts started running through her mind as they walked out of the door.

Meanwhile, Lady Antella was comfortable and seated in the VIP section of a restaurant. She waited for her guests to arrive. She still had jet lag after the long flight from her country, but she was waiting in anticipation to meet with the illustrious Alexa Grant who had given Prince Alexander his many firsts.
After her conversation with Prince Alexander, she knew that she had to meet that girl. Alexa Grant might be the answer to their dilemma.
They were able to postpone the announcement of their engagement, but for how long? Prince Alex and Lady Antella needed to work very fast; otherwise, the marriage arrangement they were forced into would be a nightmare for both.
Lady Antella was in deep her thoughts when she heard the approaching voice, "This way please," the hostess was telling someone.
Lady Antella prepared herself to look dignified and ladylike. Only Prince Alexander and a few friends of hers knew that the real Lady Antella liked women and not men. [In other words, she is a lesbian.]
This was why she needed to meet Miss Grant. She wanted to paint the Prince in a new light and try to convince her to be the Prince's girlfriend.
Lady Antella was expecting Ms. Garcia and Alexa to come in. The most beautiful smile she could conjure was shining on her face. She sat with a straight back, like a lady that she was, waiting for the person to come in.
However, her smile turned into an angry scowl when she saw the person coming in. "WTF are you doing here?! Didn't I leave you at Stonasia?" she angrily asked the person who just walked in.
With a big grin on his handsome face, Prince Alex walked in, striding directly towards her. "You thought you left me there. Unfortunately, you were wrong, because I am here with you now, Ha Ha! Did you think I would let you meet my girl and steal her from me, do you? If you did, then you have another thing coming. By the way, she is not coming anymore. I diverted her somewhere else. So, you may as well pack your bags and go back home. I've already made sure of that." Prince Alex bantered to Lady Antella.
Lady Antella got up very fast and hit Prince Alex right on his handsome face. She hit him on his right cheek and then she hit him on his left cheek. But she was not done, she gave him an uppercut to his jaw which threw him off balance, and he fell flat on his butt.
"OUCH!!!" Prince Alex did not see that coming. Lady Antella had quick fighting skills. "What the heck is wrong with you! Why did you hit my face? You know it's going to leave a black bruise. God! If you were not a woman, I would have hit you back." Prince Alex was now irate. His hands were balled into fists, ready to hit back.
"Who's the woman, huh? What, you want to hit me!? Go ahead, hit me! Let us see if you can even get close, you a**hole!" Lady Antella yelled.
If someone saw the way the two were arguing from the side, they would never be able to tell that they were royalty. Both of them were acting like gangsters, ready for a fight.
"Forget it. You know that I can never retaliate, even if I wanted to." Prince Alex sat down, trying to calm himself. He was still rubbing his jaw and cheek, hoping that it would not leave a black bruise. "You sure can throw a punch like someone I know." He mumbled to himself while rubbing his sore cheek.
Pierre, Prince Alex's assistant, came running with a piece of meat inside a plastic bag and a hard-boiled egg. "Your Highness let me use this on your face. We cannot let anything happen to this handsome face of yours. What would Ms. Grant think if we run-in to her." The assistant was more concerned about what Alexa would think rather than other people.
Lady Antella heard what the assistant said about running into Alexa. She was now curious as to how they were planning to do that. "You! Come here! Tell me where did you send Ms. Alexa? How are you planning on meeting her?" She asked while glaring at the assistant.
Pierre knew better than to mess with Lady Antella. He handed over the hard-boiled egg and the piece of meat to Prince Alex and rushed right out of the room without saying goodbye to any of them. Lady Antella was yelling at him as he was leaving.
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
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
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.
"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
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
"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
