Hope Williams suppressed the confusion in her heart and nodded lightly, "Hello, Miss Patel."
"I've long heard rumors that the President's wife is both beautiful and dignified. Today, seeing you in person, I can see that your reputation is well deserved."
Hope Williams slightly tugged her lips, "You flatter me."

Thomas Hughes saw Hope Williams approaching and quickly came forward, "Ma'am, what brings you here? Sister Patel, are you accompanying the lady?"
"I just happened to meet the lady."
Hope Williams, "Where is everyone else?"
