*~Chapter 27~*

***Alexis' Office***

(a few weeks later, now near the end of August. Alexis is sitting at her desk and her secretary enters)

Woman: Miss Davis, there is an Andrea Bennet here to see you.

Alexis: (caught off guard) Oh, umm, thanks, Cindy send her in.

Cindy: Sure thing. (she leaves and Andrea enters the office. When Alexis sees her she is overwhelmed and gets lost in a thousand different thoughts.)

Andrea: Miss Davis?

Alexis: oh, sorry. Hi, come in sit down.

Andrea: You wanted to see me about the letter I sent you regarding a job?

Alexis: Yes, I did. I wanted to tell you... (Andrew's words play over in her mind)

~Flashback~

Andrew: If you do tell her, and that Helena woman goes after her, you'll have to live with yourself knowing that it's because of you her life is in danger.

~Present Day~

(she manages to shake it off remembering what her and Ned had discussed and few weeks back)

Andrea: Your not going to need me are you Miss Davis?

Alexis: Oh no, I wanted to tell you in person that I would love to help you out.

Andrea: (excited) Really?, thank you so much, Miss Davis.

Alexis: Please call me Alexis.

Andrea: You don't know how much this means to me.

Alexis: Believe me I do, more than you know.

Andrea: Ok well thank you again, I promise you won't regret this.

Alexis: Do you want to grab some lunch and I'll show you around Port Charles and tell you what you'll be doing around here.

Andrea: Oh that would be great Miss... Alexis.

Alexis: Ok, then, let me just finish this up and we can go.

Andrea: Alright.
