Meanwhile, the news of the First Lady Dianne passing was announced worldwide .
While they were having dinner, Alexa decided to turn the television on, knowing that the news would be aired . Once the news was over, Alexa turned off the TV and continued eating .
Both mother and daughter did not speak . The atmosphere of the whole room was quiet . Only the sound of cutlery could be heard . They stayed that way for the entire dinner . With every passing minute, the silence was killing Alexa .
AdvertisementLuckily, the Go and Tan clans decided to pay a visit and gave their condolences and comfort to Alexa . The atmosphere changed no sooner they arrived . The place became livelier . The sound of people talking at the same time could be heard outside the villa .
"We need to give our condolences to the President in person . Who wants to volunteer? At least one person from each family should be enough . " Grandfather Go announced to everyone .
"Do we have to? We could send flowers as everyone do . " Sophia interjected with a raised eyebrow while seating next to Chrissy and patting her hand .
"How about you and I go with Alexa and Andrea?" Chrissy asked Sophia, her voice barely audible . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
Sophia looked at her cousin straight in the eyes, searching . . . "Are you sure you're ready to face him?" She asked with concern in her voice .
"Cuz, I need to face him, sooner or later . This is a good time as any . At least, there would be a lot of people around, and we have a reason to be there . So, if you're up to it, would you accompany me?" Chrissy was looking at Sophia straight in the eyes, pleading . What else could Sophia do but inform everyone of Chrissy's idea?
After a long discussion, everyone agreed with Chrissy's reasoning . It was better to meet the President at this time when he would not have much of a chance to interact with Chrissy . Especially with Sophia around, who planned on sticking to Chrissy's side during the time, they would be there .
They did not have to wait long to leave . No sooner than it was agreed, the private jet of Mega World was dispatched and ready to take-off . A driver was sent right away to pick up Andrea to take her to the airport instead of waiting the next day .
Alexa, Chrissy, and Sohpia arrived at the Airport not a minute later than Andrea . Andrea greeted Chrissy and Sophia with respect, before turning to Alexa, with tears forming in her eyes . At first, she was hesitant, and when Alexa noticed it, she was confused . When Andrea didn't make a move to give her the usual embrace, Alexa took it upon herself and pulled her soon to be sister-in-law in a tight embrace .
"Where have you been? I missed you so much! I don't know what's going on with you, but I hope you're not getting cold feet and about to leave my brother and me hanging, right?!" She whispered to Andrea's ear as she greeted her .
"Oh . . . Alexa, I'm so . . . sorry! I didn't mean to leave you like that . I only needed a little time to think things over . I'm done with it now . Once this whole thing is over, we need to talk, alright?" Andrea hugged her tighter while she sobbed on Alexa's shoulder .
"Fine, fine! We will do that . For now, let's get out of here . Brother needs you right now . It's going to be a long flight . We have all the time in the world . " Alexa and Andrea walked hand in hand towards the jet that was waiting to take them to America .
Sophia and Chrissy were already sitting inside the private plane, having a conversation . From the way Chrissy was massaging the back of her neck, it looked like she's worried about the impending encounter with the President . Sophia was doing her best to comfort her and assure her that she's going to be okay .
However, in less than twenty-four hours, Chrissy and President Grant would once again meet face to face . . . What would be the outcome?
