I can't [On-Going]

10

• Alexandra's •

Woke up from the bright sunlight that entered my room. I'm on my bed, looking around. Dressed with an unfamiliar hoodie. It's the only clothing I wear, except from my undies. Besides it's comfortable to wear.

I looked at the clock that's placed on my night stand. It's already 9 o'clock in the morning. Ang late ko nang gumising.

Tumayo ako sa pagkaka-higa and at that moment, I could feel the bang of hangover. Urgh! Why did I drank to much last night?

I wanted to call Lilac and Aspen to asked if who picked us up sa bar. I couldn't remember a thing about last night.

The last thing I remembered is the fact that I was dancing sa dance floor with my girls and everything went blur after that.

I got up and pumunta sa bathroom sa labas. I took my toothbrush and toothpaste, start to brush my teeth. Then, I see that my make up is off. No smudge from last night's party.

Weird. No one knows about my skin care routine. Even my daughter.

Once I'm finished cleaning my teeth, I wash my face and dry it. I put some moisturizer, serum and toner. Then I go downstairs, I heard some noises.

The first thing I saw is my daughter sitting quietly in her high chair that Mama brought for her.

Then I see my Uncle Noel who's laughing with my Mother.

"Oh! My dear! It's good to see you." Uncle said and gave me hug.

I hugged him back. "What are you doing here, Uncle?" I said and sit on the high chair.

The sibling looked at each other. "Well, your uncle has a proposal for you." My mother said while she's in the kitchen doing some dishes. I think it's Bea's plate because she's a morning person. She wakes up before me sometimes, back when we're still in Korea. Ang late na ngayon, so nauna na talaga siya bumangon.

I nodded as i drink my warm water.

"Hija, I know you just got back from Korea. I don't have a child because you know your uncle, I don't like to be committed and all." He said.

Uncle is the Eldest of the three siblings, my mom is the second one. Uncle is in his mid 60's, I think he's retiring soon.

I nod for him to continue. "I want you to inherit my Hospital."

I choked up my own saliva from what he said. what? His Hospital he said?

"Uncle naman, ano na naman yang kalokohan mo na ako mag-inherit ng hospital mo. Jusko naman tito, I don't know anything about business."

"Anak, share naman kayo ni Alexander sa inheritance. It's just that, wala pa nga yung kuya mo diba? So it means ikaw muna mamahala sa hospital." Sabi ni mama, making sure that I understand what my uncle meant.

"Huy Tito bahala ka diyan, ayoko maging CEO ng Hospital mo. Mag Hospital Administration nalang ako, Basta di ako sa higher up na position." Sabi ko. Ayoko talaga Yung mga CEO at COO nila diyan. Bahala kayo diyan, may anak akong dapat palakihin, yokong mawala yung time ko sa kanya dahil naging sobrang busy na ako magpatakbo ng hospital.

"Well, yes my dear. I'm planning to make Alexander as the CEO, I know he can handle the hospital well." Uncle is already assuring me about this proposal that he's offering. Sige Tito, kumbinsihin mo ako ng maayos diyan.

"Don't worry Alexandra. I'll make the COO assist you for a month. I know everything is a culture shock for you. I will discuss everything to him what you needed to know about your position."
