Chapter 24

Immediately Albert mentioned my uncle, I did not know what to make of it, I was worried but same time, I could not think of anything in particular, so I decided to ask him what he had to say about my uncle but there was a glitche from the network service provider and the call ended.
I tried calling him back but I could not get through with him. I wanted to know what he wanted to tekkt me, I called him again and it still did not get through , so I decided to let him be.
I called my staff to help me prepare for the night , to help get my things ready, I searched through my closet and found out I did not have much new clothes any more, most of my clothes were becoming over used, had it being that my mum was still alive, I know we would have shopped for clothes more than a thousand times, my mum will literally push me for us to go get new clothes almost every weekend. I really enjoy shopping with her, she was my best friend as I did not have much friends.
Her absence and the things that have happened in this few days have practically made me direct about shoping sprew, what more is to live when you can not even wear the clothes to have fun with your loving parents. But I am going to put all that behind me before I turn to an old hagard lady, I am still in my prime so I need to look really nice and beautiful just as I am.
I called my personal staff come help me clear my wardrobe, I brought out the clothes that are no longer in use and also the one I no longer need ,after bringing them our,I realized that there is so much to dispose.
Now that I have a new boyfriend, I need Ned to look my best, we will be having a lot is dates to attend and we might be going out officially in most cases bas couple and I would not like to look below standard, In am still the rich daughter of Tyler Woods. The only daughter and heiress of the Tyler Empire, it would not be looking nice if I appear in sicail functions with outfits that does not befit someone of my standard.
I remember in one of the many occasions I attended with my friends, it was a cocktail party organised by the creme de la creme of the society, it was organised by newly installed congressman, so many senators, presidents, governors and top businessmen were in attendance, it was a night of glamour and class, I had won the best dressed guest in tbe occasion, I had my clothes styled by one of the top designers in tbe city who has being our family designer for a very long time and he is good at what he does. He specifically choose that designed and styled it perfection for me. I stepped into the occasion that day with more than enough confidence knowing fully well that my dress was pulling attention.
So I was not surprised when my hand was called out as the best dressed in tbe party and occassion.
So I need to step up my game just like in the past days and look fabulous just as I have always looked. I took the clothes it gradually, I put a call to my clothes designer and told him the kind of clothes I want him to make for me, and he affirmed he could spare out time to get them sorted out. I might even be going to one of the top boutiques in tbe city to get more dresses. I really need to impress, I am s very pretty girl and I have so much great tatse fir good fashion,all thanks to my mum.
I took my phone to send the samples of my diesired styles to my designer when Alberts call popped up. My face filled with excitement. I was already begining to feel like a new couple a ready.
"Hey love" He said.
Love Albert is already addressing me as his love just few minutes of accepting this proposals. I am really happy to hear him address me as his love, it kinda of made me feel happy, it shows he has being waiting for this
"Hello," I replied with smiles on my face.
"So why have you not slept already" he asked me.
"And you hwy have you not slept you ready" I replied.
"Well, I am just here thinking about you and up till now I still can not believe that will be having a sweet relationship with the might Tyler Woods only daughter, irrespective of your position in the society, you still accepted me, that is very commendable and I am really over joyed". He said.
"That is okay, I am equy glad to have you " I responded.
I loved his sincerity and humility plus his sense of humor.
"So tell me what you had wanted to say before the call dropped" I told him.
"What I wanted to say, about what, please remind me,I think it has totally escaped my mind,if you do not mind can you please remind me, I think I am beginning to forget a lot of things this night so easily"? He asked me.
"Well, you made mention of my uncle, you had something to say about my uncle before the call ended" I reminded him.
"Oh, that, I wanted to ask you, did you tell your uncle about us, I mean did you tell him you have accepted for us to become a couple, for us to be in relationship, did you tell him your mind was made up even before telling me about it?" He asked me too many questions at the same time.
"Oups, Albert that is too many questions at the same time you know,let me take them one at a time" I told him.
"Oh, sorry my dearest, you can take them one after another,so first did you tell him about us? He asked.
"Yeah, I told him about going out on date with you, but that was only when we were still just mere friends and since then, I have not spoken to him about you. I told him.
"Now that we are in a relationship did you tell him about it?" He asked me again.
"Common, Albert dear, whats with all the questions, if there is anything go ahead and tell me already" I told him as I was already getting impatient with his many questions.
"Your uncle came to my office today to warn me seriously to stay away from you, he warned that I should not come close to you anymore" He said.
I was shocked, how could my uncle say a thing like that to Albert, Albert has being a good person to us ever since we met him, I know that the circumstances that surrounded our meeting was not a good one but then he has proven to me that friendship can be found in the least expected place and at the least expected time.
How could he just wake up one morning and decieds it right to have nothing to do with Albert.
At first when Albert told me of what my uncle said to him, I thought Albert was joking but he insisted he was not joking that be is being serious about everything he said. My uncle has been there for me, I know that his intentions towards me are good but I would not want him to interfere into my love life, how did he even get to find out that I was going to be in relationship with the doctor.
My uncle might be looking out for me but I strongly believe that he is doing it the wrong way. I would not want a situation where by my only family left which is my Uncle will be logger ahead with someone that I have decided to love.
"Hey Erica are you still there" Albert called back my attention when I did not answer. I was already carried away with thoughts.
"Um, yes,yes, I am here" I said realizing that I have being mute for some minutes.
"So what do you have to say about his actions? Albert asked.
I did not know the answer to give him ,as I could not make anything out of my uncles action and I would not want to give him tbe wrong impression, I did not want him to feel bad.
"Go ahead and ignore that okay, I told him.
"Are you sure". He asked.
"Not really, but I will try to find out from him, I think he is just looking out for me" I told him and dropped the call.
I was not so sure as I kept mute, I needed to ask my uncle why he did that.
