Alexa was busy getting ready for the family dinner. This would be the first time she would meet her step-mother and half brother. Ria Flora briefed her about the First Family as per the President's instructions. It was vital for her to know who she would be meeting and having to deal with, especially that snooty Miss Si and First Lady Dianne.
Once Ria finished her briefing, she excused herself and went out to the adjoining parlor to give her privacy. "Miss Grant, if you need any help getting ready, please! Do give me a call. I'll be right there in the adjoining parlor." She politely excused herself and left Alexa alone to do whatever she needed to do.
