"So? What do you all think?" President Grant's face was showing anticipation from their answer .
Daniel and Alexa both nodded to each other first before replying in unison . "Yes! Hahaha!" And with laughter from being in sync .
President Grant joined the laughter, and the whole room was suddenly filled with a harmonious atmosphere .
Ria, Logan, and Andrea were listening from the threshold of the parlor . They decided to be out of view and stand guard by the threshold of the room, in case they were needed .

Two hours passed by without the father, son, and daughter realizing the time . Not until President Grant's Assistant Aid came to inform him that they only have half an hour to prepare and change for the meeting .
President Grant was wary that he has to part with his beloved children . Unfortunately, he has a responsibility to the people of The United States of America, and whether he likes it or not, the visit must come to an end . He acknowledges what his Assistant had informed him before turning back his attention to his children .
"I'm staying at the Presidential suite at the Spaniard Hotel, and I would be staying overnight and fly out tomorrow . How about having a night cup with me after dinner? "President Grant asked his children with excitement visible on his eyes .
Alexa replied first, "I would love that!" She then looked at Daniel, who has a half smile plastered on his face .
"Sis, do you know that you look so adorable the way you had excitedly replied . You reminded me of myself when Dad told me for the very first time that I have a baby sister . Hahaha!" Daniel teased his younger sister . "And yes! I would also love to have a night cup with Dad and you! Hahaha!"
President Grant was getting ready to leave when he remembers Andrea . "By the way, where is that young lady . . . your cousin from the Philippines . What was her name? Did she make it alright?" He asked with a kind tone of voice that made Andrea almost in tears .
To hear President Grant inquired about her well being was something she had never dreamed of in her entire life . Andrea started wiping the small teardrops that about to fall from her eyes when Ria saw it and gave her a sisterly hug .
Alexa's eyes widened when she heard her Dad's inquiry, and she quickly shouted for Andrea to come . " Andrea! I know you out there eavesdropping, come here and greet the President!" She screamed loud enough to wake up the dead .
Daniel's face was full of anticipation to see Andrea . He couldn't sit still once he heard that she's up and about and out there listening to their conversation . His face suddenly brightened up he then put a blank look on his face and sat straight like a male God .
This action was visible to President Grant's hawk eyes . 'Hmmm? I sense something brewing here . ' He secretly smiled at his thought of his son, finally finding someone attractive .
Andrea came with a timid look on her face . She put the sweetest smile she could conjure before giving her full attention to President Grant . "Good morning! Mr . President sir!" She then turned and looked straight at Daniel with the same demeanor . "Good morning! Mr . Grant, sir!" in a barely audible tone of voice .
However, Daniel heard it clear how she called him 'Mr . Grant, sir!' the contour of his face that was blank was now showing sadness in his eyes . 'He couldn't understand why he felt a twinge of pain in his heart when Andrea called him sir . He doesn't like the idea of Andrea thinking of him as sir, and he wants her to think of him only as Daniel . Is this what it called love?' Daniel thought while looking straight at Andrea . . .
President Grant and Alexa saw everything, and both have a half smile plastered on their faces . They looked at each other and questioning each other without Daniel knowing what his father and sister were doing .
'Are you thinking of what I'm thinking?' Father and daughter were saying with each other's eyes . . .
President Grant: " . . . ?"
Alexa: "^--^"
