It's been an hour since the program started. It wasn't boring especially there were dance numbers performed by Doctors and Nurses which a lot of them didn't expect. Laughters filled the auditorium because of the performance of the nurses from the Laboratory Team, they danced like a duck and they even sang the SLMC hymn with their own version.

Still in the middle of the program but everyone's not getting bored because the event was planned well. This year's ball is schemed very well because they hired a new event organizer named Bea Alonzo. Her team obviously slayed the plan which turned out to be fantastic. Everyone is expecting that this event is going to be the Event of the Year.

Well, hopefully.

After some good meals, Ian pulled his chair forward towards Lea and then he leans his arms on the table.

"Carmen, you didn't tell me that you prepared something." Ian whispered to her. Her laughs while watching the performers turned into a frown.

"What do you mean?"

"You'll perform, right?" Chuckling, Ian asks, "I haven't heard you in a while, I'm thrilled!" There was an evident in his tone that he really can't wait for Lea's performance.

Lea's brows furrowed. Ano nanamang pakulo ito!?

As far as she remembers, she didn't prepare any song number plus the fact that she is not aware at all. She stared at her Uncle Manuel—who is also intentionally staring at her—because she knew that he is the one who planned all of this.

"For the next performer, the very hot Doctor from the Chemotherapy Unit—Doctor Maria Lea Carmen Salonga!" Everyone clapped their hands and started to cheer for her.

Lea, with no choice, stood up and went to the stage. Most of Lea's colleagues picked their phone and started filming her.

"Here's the mic, doc." The emcee handed her the mic and then all of a sudden, she was left alone with the orchestra.

She breaths in, "Dad.." she called causing everyone to burst in laughter. "I know it's you who set this up." She still managed to smile eventhough she is quite edgy.

She doesn't usually perform infont of a crowded people, she only sings whether it's a karaoke or a get together. In short, she only sings when there are only counted people. But she doesn't have any way to escape this, so she will just let the time pass and sing like she is just with her friends. And yes, she doesn't want to bypass his Uncle.

She walked towards the Conductor which is Gerard's colleague and a good friend.

"Good evening, Michael. The usual." she winked at him.

"Got you, doc!" he smiled and talked to the members for them to be aware.

Lea stood infront of the crowd again and without further ado, the music started.

I wanna hold 'em like they do in Texas plays
Fold 'em, let 'em, hit me, raise it baby stay with me (I love it)
Love Game intuition play the cards with spades to start
And after he's been hooked I'll play the one that's on his heart

Everyone is screaming and cheering for her and she really appreciate it. It helps her lessen her nervosity and disquietude.

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh-e-oh-oh-oh,
I'll get him hot, show him what I've got
