Chapter Eighty Nine

"Sis! Can you people ask Uzo to come back to Lagos!?" Ada asked out of the blue.

"Why? Did he do something inappropriate!?" Rose asked.

"No... He didn't do anything. It's just that... I, I... Don't worry. It's nothing. I was just wondering when he will return to meet you, people. He has been here for a while now." Ada said.

"Hmmm, I smell something fishy... What are you not telling me?" Rose asked. "Is there something I should know!?" She asked with a smile.

"Sis!!! What are you thinking!? There is nothing fishy... I was just asking a very innocent question. Can't I ask?" Ada said in an attempt to stop Rose from asking further questions.

"Okay, let me just assume that I believe you but I still think something is wrong. Anyways, I called you to ask you something." Rose said. She has decided to stop asking Ada questions concerning why she wants Uzo to return. Time will tell anyway. There is no rush.

"Okay... What's that?" Ada asked.

"Would you like to come and stay with me here in Lagos!?" Rose asked.

"Did I hear your question right!?" Ada asked.

"I don't know what you heard but if it's what I said then, you heard well. So, what do you say!?" Rose asked her.

"That shouldn't be a question na!!! I would love to come there.!" Ada answered happily.

"Okay, that's good. Since you have accepted then, I will talk to my husband so that you can come whenever Uzo is returning." Rose said. She just wanted to bring Ada over. It wasn't because she wasn't comfortable with Bolu. She just wants Ada to come to Lagos so that she would send her to school.

"That's great!! Thank you, sis!!" Ada said happily over the phone. After her excitement, she remembered something. "But sis, why do you want me to come over so soon!? Is there a problem?" She asked.

"No, I just want you close to me. Is that a crime? I need to have my sister close to me." Rose said.

"Thank you so much, sis!!" Ada said after Rose answered. "Oh, before I forget... You and your husband are amazing.! I saw the video of what you did to the vice president's daughter and it was SAVAGE!! That was wow!! The two of you just embarrassed her without mercy.!!" Ada said with excitement. She had been so happy when she saw the video. She felt so proud having Rose as a sister.

"You sound happy about it," Rose said.

"Shouldn't I be happy? I am happy to see that you are not being bullied by some politician's daughter. Is it not worth my happiness!?" Ada asked. "And another thing, your husband is the best!! He also went ahead to profess his love for you on tv. That's so romantic!! It's a shame I didn't watch it live.!" She said with regret in her voice.

"Yes, he is the best..." Rose said absent-mindedly.

"You sound off... What's up?" Ada asked.

"Nothing... Let me ask you a question. If you happen to fall in love, how will you tell the person? Will, you just go straight to the point or wait for the perfect time.?" Rose asked.

"Well, that question is simple. Although I don't..." Ada started to say but realized something and stopped. "Wait!!! Sis!! Are you asking this question because you haven't told your husband that you love him!?" Ada asked.

"Yes!!" Rose answered.

"Oh My God!!! Sis!!" Ada exclaimed happily over the phone. "Are you serious!!? Gosh!! Am so jealous!!" She added happily.

Rose just shook her head at Ada's reaction. Why is this girl more excited than I am? She asked herself. "What's there to be jealous about? Besides, you have someone there. I bet something is going on already!" She said out loud.

"What are you talking about!? There is no one here and why shouldn't I be jealous?" Ada said in an attempt to get Rose's mind off that topic. "Fine, the truth is, there is no perfect time to tell him how you feel. It depends on you to make it memorable. Sometimes, it's better to just say what you feel instead of waiting. It might be too late when the perfect time comes.!" Ada added.

"Have you been in a relationship before?" Rose asked after she had finished speaking.

"No, why do you ask?"

"Have you had someone you love and you didn't tell that person till it was too late?" Rose asked again.

"No... Why are you asking me all these questions?" Ada asked. She was confused as to why Rose was asking her such questions.

"You sound like someone who has missed out on love... Thank you for the word of advice tho. How is Uzo? Are you guys ok?" Rose asked.

"Sis, I don't have anybody that I have missed out on and Uzo is fine. He just likes to give me headaches." Ada said.

"How is he giving you a headache?" Rose asked with a smile.

"Sis!! You can't understand. He is just... How do I even put it? He is always around me. Sometimes, he would be talkative. Other times, he would just be quiet. I don't even understand him at all.!!" Ada said in one breathe.

"Are you talking about me!!?" They both heard Uzo's voice from the background.

"I'll call you later sis!!" Ada said immediately Uzo entered the office.

"Is that Rose!? Please don't hang up!! Can..." Rose head but before he could finish talking, Ada hung up the call. Rose shook her head while looking at her phone and smiled.

After the call, she cleaned the house, went to the office that was in the house, and checked if there was any mail that she needed to attend to. There was one and she quickly read through it. It was the contract that she asked Bolu to prepare for Princess. She read through but decided to wait for Christopher before making a decision. When it was getting close to 11 am, she decided to go and cook lunch. She decided to do something that she has never done. She took out ingredients and started to make fried rice with chicken. Mrs. Rita wanted to help her but she refused. She only allowed Mrs. Rita to cook for every other person in the house. She cooked a small portion and that's because she was planning to take it to Christopher. After cooking, she arranged the food and called the bodyguard who is acting as her driver. "Paul, please get ready. We will go to Christopher's office when I am done."

"No problem ma'am," Paul answered.

Rose happily went back into her room and changed into a body-fitting gown. It was a red gown with tiny hearts drawn on it. She paired them with a simple sandals and took her purse and phone before leaving the house. After her car had driven off, somebody who was watching her all this while was very angry. If looks could kill then Rose would have died. Nobody saw the person who was watching Rose hiss with anger and hatred before walking away.
