A Life Saver...

Prince Alexander turned to congratulate Ann when he suddenly stopped halfway. The Playboy in him kicked in, and he put the sweetest smile he could conjure before greeting Ann. "If you ever change your mind, I'm always available." He whispered to Ann as he offered his hand to congratulate her.

The contour of Ann's face suddenly changed to a spit-fire devil. The beautiful smile was gone. Her anger replaced her smile and looked at the prince with disgust. "I'm sorry to burst your enthusiasm, but it would be a cold day in Hell before I change my mind. Also, that ever happens, I would never come to you even if you're the last man on the earth." Ann proudly said it loud enough for everyone to hear. 

He heard everyone at the table laughing at her retort. The King, Queen, Grandfather Go, Grandmother Tan, Albert, and Sophia continued to laugh...

Jeff was ready to kick his butt, but Ann held him back from doing anything dangerous. She then said, "If you'll excuse us, we still have many guests to attend to." Ann hurriedly dragged her husband before he tried to kill Prince Alexander.

Lady Antella kicked Prince Alexander shin and reprimanded him, "What is wrong with you? Are you out of your mind? I can not believe you said that right in front of her husband. You are shameless and unbelievable!" She dragged him away from the King's wrath...

Playboy Prince Alexander continued turning his head toward the direction of the newlyweds while Lady Antella dragged him outside the venue...

Prince Alexander was trying his best to wiggle out of Lady Antella's grasp. "Let me go! What's wrong with you? I was still talking with the newlyweds?" He complained while trying to pull out of Lady Antella's grasp.

"You!!!... You're such a shameless, rude, jerk! Where did your manners go? You are a Prince for God's sake. Why do you have to act like a maniac in front of the newlyweds and embarrass the King and Queen?"

Prince Alexander realized what he did just now. However, instead of feeling ashamed or remorse, he kept on acting almighty. "I'm a Royal, and she's a mere commoner. She should be glad I gave her a compliment in front of her new husband." He proudly retorted to now angry Lady Antella.

She punched and kicked Prince Alexander in the stomach before pushing him to the ground and he landed flat on his butt. She then walked off leaving him seating on his butt on the ground.

"Serves you right!" She shouted as she was walking back towards the venue...

Meanwhile, Pierre was calling Prince Alexander with no luck. "What could keep him from answering?" He mumbled to himself as he walked back in and sat back down to continue spying on Alexa and Ramon.

Ramon and Alexa finally agreed to try out a couple of the specialty items that the server had suggested. While they were waiting for the appetizer to arrive, Ramon tried to muster up some courage to approach Alexa with his dilemma.

He was so apprehensive that he persisted in drinking the wine like it's water, soon enough he felt comfortable and was about to approach Alexa when her phone started to ring... "Alexa..."

"Hold your thought, let me take this call first alright! It could be an emergency, and it's my Grandmother." Alexa got up as she answered the call.

"Hello! Alexa speaking..."

"Hello, miss! Are you related to the person that owns this phone? " The person at the other end of the line asked Alexa.

"Yes! She's my Grandmother. Why do you have her phone? Please, tell me she's alright..." Alexa asked, sounding all worried.

"I'm sorry! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a nurse, and your Grandmother is here right now in the emergency room. She had passed out on the street, and a bystander brought her here."

"Tell me which hospital! I am on my way!" Alexa went back to the table in a hurry. and she grabbed her purse while still on the phone with the nurse getting the location of the Hospital. She paused only for a moment, enough to inform Ramon of the situation.

"I'm sorry! We have to do this another time. I have to go..." She was about to rush out of the restaurant when Ramon stopped her from going.

"Alexa, Wait!" Ramon was running after her as she was walking out of the restaurant.

"Sorry, Ramon but I have to go. My Grandmother needs me. You understand right?" Alexa tries to explain with tears flowing down her face.

"Oh... N-n-no! I was not trying to stop you from going; I was going to tell you that I want to go with you. I have a car, and we could get there faster if I drove you there."

"Thank you!" Alexa felt relief that Ramon was thoughtful and offered to take her to the Hospital.

Due to her excitement, she jumped and hugged Ramon tightly, and started kissing him on both of his cheeks. "You are a lifesaver, why didn't I think of that? Let us go!"

Pierre and Greta were following the two as they rushed out of the restaurant. They hailed a taxi in a rush to follow Ramon and Alexa towards the hospital…
