President Grant was fuming with anger towards the Si family . Why does he have to be related to them by marriage, he was hoping with the First Lady passing that it would seize already . He thought wrong!
"Anyone out there?! Call Senator Grant . I want to speak to him right now!" He shouted from inside the oval room .
"Yes, Mr . President! Right away, sir!" His assistant aid, replies from the outer room .
No sooner than all of his advisors arrived, Daniel arrived too . He has a gloomy look on his face, for he just went to rest and was about to do hunky punky with his fiancee when they were interrupted .
"You called for me Sir?"
"Yes! Your damn cousin and her parents in trouble . I want you to go there and take care of this matter personally . No matter what you do, make sure she doesn't drag our name to the mud . Now, go!" He growled while he furrowed .
Once Daniel had left, President Grant and his advisors got down to business about Alexa's matter . He wants to announce to the whole world that she's her daughter, but he can't .
AdvertisementTherefore, he's about to inform them that she would be running for miss universe competition under the Philippines flag .
He wanted to make sure that they don't give her a hard time in case she won . Only his advisors know the truth about Alexa, and he's afraid that if she won the competition, they might want to use it for his next election campaign . He can't let them do that to his Princess .
"You know if she wins this competition, they will look into her past and your relationship might come out in the open . Maybe she could prolong entering the competition for now until you secure your post . " One of the advisors said while in deep thought .
"Yes, he is right about that assumption, it could backfire on you, and you might lose the precedency . Could you handle that?" Another one asked .
President Grant had to think very hard . Which one is more important, his precedency or his family? The latter won, and he chose to let her do what she wants . It is her long-time goal, and just when her dreams were attainable, he can't be a hindrance to her from achieving her goal .
"How about we play it by ear, the fashion show would be in two weeks . After that, she would be preparing for the competition . When the time comes, will decide what to do, for the time being, let her be . I want her to enjoy her life to the fullest . " The President said with sadness in his voice .
Everyone agreed to leave Alexa alone for now, when the time comes, they would once again discuss what to do with her . Once everything was settled, one by one, the President advisors stood up and prepared to leave . Every one of them gives comforting words and condolence before departing .
President Grant thanked them and bid them goodbye . The assistant aid shows them out while the President sits back, rested his head on the chair, and closed his eyes temporarily . He started to get a headache from anger .
Earlier on, he thought he would have a heart attack after reading the report about the Si, family . In the future, he would do everything in his power to stay away from them if he could help it . He thought to himself while trying to rest his mind .
Suddenly, President Grant remembers where he was heading before he was interrupted and called for this stupid stunt the Si-family had done . He quickly got up and walked as fast as he could towards Alexa's room .
His secret service was having a problem catching up at him for he was walking like the grim reaper was after him .
A moment later, he was standing by Alexa's door . . . Lucas and Logan, as usual, were standing guard outside the door . They pay their respect to the President before Lucas was ready to knock on the door .
"Wait! Just a moment . " President Grant stopped Lucas from what he was about to do .
He first checked if his suits were excellent, and dusted off an imaginary speck of dust . Once he was sure that he looks his best, he then nodded his head to Lucas .
Lucas knocked on the door lightly . *Knock-knock!* "Miss Grant, the President, is here to see you!" He shouted .
"Let him in!" Alexa yelled back while walking towards the door to greet her father .
No sooner than President walks in, Alexa was in his embrace . "Dad! How are you? Everything alright? I heard that you were stopped on the way here for some urgent matters . I know it was nothing major?" Alexa said with her eyes full of concern . Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www . webnovel . com for visiting .
President was so glad to hear her Alexa's joyful voice and concern for him . He gives her a light kiss on her forehead before answering .
"It was nothing to concern you . Just some stupid stunt the Si family had done overseas, and I was contacted to straighten the matter . It's being taken care off now, and you're brother's on the way there to personally take care of the situation . " He said casually .
Andrea, who just arrived and was standing right behind Alexa, heard what the President said and quickly greeted the President and excused herself to find Daniel . From the way she walked out, Alexa could tell that she's upset and fuming .
It must be because her brother would be leaving soon or had already left without informing her . She let go of her father and ushered him to sit down at the sofa .
As they were walking towards the sofa, President Grant keeps on looking all over Alexa's room . Alexa saw this and knew who he was looking for . She felt downcast for her father, for she knows who he's been looking for . . . - Her mother . "
Once they were seated, Ria stepped out of the room to get some refreshment for them . When there was only the two of them in the room . President Grant didn't dilly-dolly, and anxiously asked Alexa .
"Didn't your mother and aunt came with you? Where are they? I was hoping to have a private word with your mother, you know . . . " He said with sadness in his eyes .
Alexa wasn't sure how is he going to tell her father that her mother had run off as fast as she could to not speak with him . However, she couldn't seem to find the right word and just looked at her father while tears started forming in her beautiful eyes .
"Dad! You see . . . I don't know how to say this, but . . . " She was not able to finish her words for President Grant had put his two fingers on her lips . "Shss! It's alright, no need for words . I understand, your mother left . Sigh!" He let out a big sigh before continuing . . .
"I was kind of hoping that I could at least say goodbye . I never had a chance before, and when I thought she had died, I was devastated that I was not able to say goodbye to her . If God would give me another chance, I would never let her go ever again . You know that?!"
The President spoke full of sadness, and tears began to fall from his eyes .
Alexa's heart was breaking, looking at her father . She slowly embraces her father while trying to soothe his aching heart .
Meanwhile, she was thinking of how she could bring her mother and father back together, now that he's once again a free man . . .
