Chapter20

*Hello, uncle," I said into the phone as soon as he picked the call.
"Hello Erica," he responded.
"Uncle,I called to hear from you, as I have been expecting a call from you, but since I did not get any, I decided to call," I explained to him.
"That is fine," He said.
"So uncle,how did the meeting go and what did you people discuss about " .I asked him.
"nothing much, at least not enough for you to worry yourself, I just went there to inform the workers that from henceforth they should all be reporting directly to me". He said.
After my uncle explained his reasons for the meeting, I was mute and did not know what else to him, I am grateful for the fact that he looks After the company on our behalf, same time I am not happy the way he overshadows me especially on things that have to do with the company, how can he tell the company to report to him directly when I am here, he did not even bother to invite me to the meeting.
"Are you there Erica" my uncle called out to me when he noticed my silence.
"Um, yes uncle,but uncle, I was wondering maybe you can always invite me to such meetings and then instead of the staff reporting to you, I hit it will be better if they report to me." I said.
I guess it was my uncle's turn to be mute also because he did not reply for some more minutes.
ANTHONIO'S POV
I was taken aback by Erica's request to have her control some of the affairs in the company, uptill now she still wants to be part of each meeting that I organise, she wants to know how things are done int he company and probably take not of inflow of cash and I never be stupid enough to have that happen.
Erica's sudden interest in the affairs of the company will not be able to go down well with me.I need to stop her from trying to find out how things are done. I really wished she could just go to school abroad so that I have everything in charge. I know Erica to be a smart girl just like her parents.
For the fact that I am her dad's closet and the most trusted makes it easier for me to be able to convince her to do whatever I wanted her to do. I thought for a while before giving answers to her question.
"Hi Erica, have you forgotten your dad's agreement that the company should be left in your care only when you graduate from the PHD program you will go too, and secondly and most importantly when you bring a man to marry you then, I can comfortably leave the company in your care" I told her.
"But uncle it is not too much already, remember I already have a degree, it is not like I am illiterate". She protested.
" But you do not have a man yet," I said to her in a base to see if she would talk or say she was seeing someone, but unfortunately she did not say if she was seeing someone or not.
"But then I would still need to be coming around so that I can get familiar with the workers and the things that go on in there".
"You know your dad already made that decision and you know it is not in my power to change it" I told her.
"So all you need to do is go to school, graduate and bring a man" O quickly added.
"Okay uncle goodnight" She said and dropped the call.
I was glad I was able to convince Erica to drop the issue of getting involved in the things that go on in the company. With a beautiful smile on my face I drank the wine with me and retired to sleep.
ERICA'S POV
After speaking with my call and he told me reasons I would be able to have anything to do with the company, I was not really happy about the decision my dad took concerning my involvement in the affairs of the company,but then there was little or nothing I could do to change that.
I had wanted to tell my uncle about doctor Albert and I but I decided against it since I was yet to give doctor Albert a concrete answer.
I was of no point giving him Hopes over something I was not yet sure about. I took my iPad to go through some of the notes on them. I was reading some of my favorite notes on my ipad when a text message popped up on my phone. I checked who the sender was .. Doctor Albert.
I guess he sure knows how to keep in check with someone, he always calls to check up on me and he can't even go to sleep without him sending a goodnight text message to me.
With the smiles I had on my face I went to sleep..
Few minutes later I woke up because I remembered I have left my handbag at the dinning where I had my dinner, I was reluctant to go get it, because I was really tired but I tried my tried my best to stand up from sleeping position to go down stairs to get my handbag as I would not like to live it there in the dining.
I got up from my bed and went outside my room. On my way to the dining room, I heard a soft voice, more like a moan , sounding from Beatrice. I know right there that Fabian and Beatrice were at it again, perhaps they both think I have fallen asleep. I walked to toward Beatrice room to be sure of what I was hearing ,lo and behold I saw them locked up in each other's arms and kissing passionately...I guess this two actually have no issues on their sleeves.. how they can be comfortable having sex in an apartment they were employed to work for is what marveled me.
I would like to interfere in their matters but I need to stop this unholy doings as soon as possible. I equally envy them, just mere domestic staff having , enjoying and satisfying themselves sexually.
But it still does not sound right, as this place is their work place and they need to choose between making mad love and working for me, probably because they think my dad and mum are gone then they feel they can do whatever they like.
I have always treated them right and provided all they need to live fine here while they work.
I hurriedly went to the dining got my hand bag from there and went back to my room to sleep .
I work up the next morning still feeling weak from the activities of the previous day. I quickly went through my email, replied and attended to the ones I could answer.
I went into my bath to have my teeth brushed and equally have a shower.
After few minutes of taking my bath I came out from the bathroom. Since I was not sure of where I will be going to day nor what I will be doing because I did not have much things on my schedule for today. I put on a very beautiful velvet housecoat, this house coat happens to be my favorite housecoats the silky feeling it gives me to my skin makes me relaxed and cool. I dialed the intercom downstairs to inform Beatrice what I would like to have for breakfast and how I would love it prepared. After she affirmed to have noted it down. I remembered what happened at night and made up my find to confront them both, and to warn them to stop their illicit frolicking around the house as it unprofessional and uncultured especially when they have to moan out loud.
I got a knock from the door informing me that breakfast is served. I got up from my bed and went downstairs to have my breakfast, Beatrice was already standing by the dinning waiting for me.
I saw Beatrice and decided I needed to trash it out first before proceeding with my food..
"Hey Beatrice, there is somethingI would like to discuss with you,g" I told her.
"Okay ma'am" she answered.
"Are you in a relationship with Fabian? I asked her.
I guess she was not expecting that question from me.
I waited for her to give me an answer but when she did not give me any answer. I just bluntly told her what was on my mind.
"This is your job here and you better take it seriously, this will be last time, I will warm about having sex here in the house., I don't care what you with your body..but don't just do it here".
