One Night With The ‘prince’ - Chapter 8 We Meet Again
Alexa was practically slaving herself for the whole week. She was initially supposed to be an assistant, but she became other than that.
The original request was for an assistant to handle the daily schedule for the duration the guest was in town, no more no less.
However, that had changed when the guest had met Alexa. Especially after that encounter with Prince Alexander. Alexa’s temporary boss saw potential within her and wanted to explore the possibility of grooming her as one of her talents.
Instead of Alexa assisting with the daily schedules. The guest had hired another person to do the job. She had Alexa shadow her in all of her meetings to see what she needed to do when the time comes.
The guest was not precisely a foreigner. She was born in that Country and currently living in another. She was invited to be in the panel of judges for the upcoming beauty contest.
At first, she was hesitant, but due to the recent success of the contestant winning the competition from this particular Country. She had decided to come and discuss the possibility and hope in the process she could scout one to become her talent.
Her decision was not a mistake, she found one, and she would do everything in her power to get her signed before she goes back home.
While Alexa was shadowing the foreign guest, she learns the ins and outs of the beauty pageant. It’s crucial for her to learn for her future in the industries.
She knows deep in her heart that she has a long way to go, but she’s determined to accomplish this dream even if it kills her.
The week came and ended, finally it was the end of Alexa’s shadowing the foreign lady. As much as she loves the job, it was very tiring and had consumed so much of her energy.
“Alexa, if you have time tonight I would like to have dinner with you to discuss something. Are you available?” Her boss asked her with sincerity on her voice.
“Mam? Yes, Madam! I’m available. ‘Even if I’m not, I would make sure I become one. hehe!’ Alexa thought while giving her best smile that she had been practicing for a long time.
“Good! Don’t worry about dressing up; I want you to come back here around 3:p.m. that should give us enough time.”
Alexa was thinking to herself about the time her temporary boss indicated. “Madam isn’t 3:00 p.m. a little early to have dinner? Just wondering.” She asked with an eye full of curiosity.
“Just come back around that time, you’ll soon find out why, alright!” She said it a little irritably.
Alexa saw it right away and rectify the situation. “Yes! Mam, I’ll be here at 3:00 p.m. precisely. Not before, and especially not later. If nothing else, I will be on my way then.” She gives her a respectful bow then left proudly.
The foreign lady had a half smile on her face when Alexa left.
What she’s planning today would show if she’s correct or not with her assumption. This would be a test for Alexa, whether she would get signed as talent or not.

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 able to answer. Luckily someone was speedy to catch it before it falls and shutter to the ground.
“Thank you!” Alexa said quickly after receiving her phone from a stranger.
“No big deal, It’s a good thing it didn’t drop. It would have been shuttered to pieces for sure.” The stranger was trying to make small talk.
“Yup! Man, I would have been in deep shit with my grandma, if the had happened.” She replied calmly.
“Alexa, you didn’t recognize me, don’t you?” The stranger excitedly asked her.
Alexa looks at the stranger straight face without blinking. She assessed him, first his face, then she backed up a little ready to bolt. “Man, if I had done something to offend you or something, I’m sorry ok!” Terror was clearly showing on Alexa’s face, but she’s still ready to fight.
“Hahaha! You haven’t changed a bit, your still a tomboy. But you sure cleaned up pretty well though.” The stranger banters.
“Wait a minute, do we know each other from the past or something? How come I don’t recognize you at all?” Alexa said it a little loud.
“Hahaha! of course, you wouldn’t recognize me anymore. The last time you saw me was when I was 12 years old, and I was on a skinny side. Plus I had braces and thick eyeglasses then.” He gave Alexa a wide grin showing straight pearly white teeth.
“My braces were gone, and I had a Lasik done, so no more glasses either. Plus I worked out, so I’m pretty baff, see!”
Alexa looked at him once again, she looks, and looks, and looks. Then something hit her from what he had said. “Ramon!!! Oh my God! Is it you? How could that the be? Hahaha!”
“I told you back then before I left for America that someday, will meet again. And here I am.”
Alexa got excited, she jumps at Ramon and hugs him, “Hahaha! I can’t believe it’s you and you kept your promise that will meet again.”
Ramon was stunned unable to say a word. He stands still rooted to the ground speechless. With nervous looks on his face.
