Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 119

Chapter 119: David’s rushed return

Phoebe was not the only that thought it was a bad day, David thought the same exact thing. After hearing someone attack Phoebe, he tried countless times to reach her but failed as his calls went unanswered.

He tried to concentrate on his important business meeting however he couldn’t string together any useful thoughts because his mind and heart were preoccupied. Finally, when he reached boiling point, he surrendered.

“Ladies and gentlemen, please excuse me but I have an emergency that cannot wait.” He stood up and left the meeting without further explanation.

His new personal assistant Hobbi was surprised to see his boss give up on the important meeting which had been scheduled weeks before he was hired. It was even marked important on the calendar so what was more important? Hobbi followed him outside.

“Sir? Sir! What emergency?” He tried to keep up with David who was rushing out of the elevator.

Hobbi had been warned that working for David Saxon wasn’t a walk in the park. Four people had resigned before him in a space of only one year. But still, being the bread winner of his family, he had taken on the challenge.

“Sir please say something!!” Hobbi desperately stared at his boss.

The company president, who also happened to be David’s father had told them to close the deal no matter what. It was a meeting with investors that wanted to open thirty franchises of Saxon pharmacies in Eagle country. In the long run, if the deal was closed successfully, billions more would be added to the Saxon group coffers. Failure was not an option, not unless your boss gave up half way and walked out the investors.

Hobbi had a feeling that president Robert was going to kill them both.

“Sir….” he started, one last time.

“Hobbi cancel all the scheduled meetings and tell the pilot that i am returning to Fog country right now not tomorrow like I planned.” David entered the waiting car.

Nothing mattered to him than protecting Phoebe and the fact that she wasn’t picking her calls only meant that she was in some kind of trouble.

He heard her scream while some man threatened her, just the memory of the phone call made the hair on the back of his neck stand. He tightly clutched his phone and sighed.

She had mentioned his mother just before the scream, was she involved in the attack on Phoebe somehow? In order to know more, he called his sister Rose-Bell.

“Rosie, what has mother been up to? Did she anything about Phoebe?”

His sister did not appreciate his abruptness and she made it clear in her sarcastic response. “Hello Rosie, how are you? I am fine thank you David. That’s how a phone call is started baby brother.”

A small impatient groan escaped David’s throat. “Fine, hello Rosie how are you? Since i already know that you are fine, please answer my question, mom and Phoebe have they met?”

“I will ask around for you and give you a call when i know more.”

David scoffed. She didn’t know anything and yet she was the gossip queen of Saxon tower. Rosie knew everyone’s business. If she didn’t know, then only his mother’s driver had answers and she was loyal to her so she would not tell him what he wanted to hear.

It’s my fault, i should have asked Polly to watch out for her, he thought. It was a stretch because Polly wouldn’t have agreed, he was hired specifically to protect him and only him. In fact, he had come with him on this trip to Eagle country.

It was time to convince Phoebe that she needed a personal bodyguard. He had been wanting to do it for a while but he didn’t want to overstep his boundaries and push her away. For now he needed to know if she was alright, so he called the only person that he could trust with her, his grandmother. Luckily for him, she answered her phone immediately.

“Grandma, hi, i need you to go to the Black Ghost Cafe, something happened to Phoebe and now I cannot reach her, please grandmother I have no one to ask.” David begged.

“You do not need to beg me, if Phoebe is in trouble then I must help her.” She answered.

“Thank..” David noticed that the call had already been cut off. He smiled at that fact because he loved that his grandmother adored Phoebe as much as he did.

He rushed to out of the car and walked to the private plane. All of his luggage and personal belongings had been delivered before he arrived.

“No delays, tell the pilot that we are leaving right now. My woman needs me.” he instructed Polly as he made himself comfortable.

The one confused party in the plane was Hobbi who was also Miranda’s part time spy. He texted her and let him know that his boss had dropped everything to go to his woman.

The plane engines were started within five minutes and the the plane soon set off. It was a seven hour flight but David felt like it was too long. The seven hours felt more like seventy torturous hours.

He conjured up worst possible scenarios in his head, wondering if Phoebe was in the hospital and that’s why her phone was not being answered.

“Please god, i don’t pray often but once, just this once listen to me and let it be nothing serious. I don’t know if i have used up all of my miracles but give me one more.” He mumbled a silent prayer. David regretted a lot of things in his past life but not listening to Phoebe was his biggest regret. She had died because of him, because he had not been cautious enough. He couldn’t lose her again not when he was doing everything possible to protect them.

He arrived later in the night but that didn’t stop him from going straight to Phoebe’s apartment. After about five minutes of ringing the door bell and knocking on the door. David resorted to banging and shouting her name. He would have kept going but he was interrupted.

Cassie opened the door to their apartment with fury on her face. “She’s not in there!! You are depriving us of our peace please stop with the noise.” She shut the door before he could ask her anything else.

Where could she be at this hour? It was well beyond her working hours. He dialed his grandmother who told him that she was at the cafe.

David rushed there but on entering he only saw Rosset and his grandmother who chuckled on seeing how rattled he looked.

“Polly told me about what you did in Eagle country. I knew that you would come and search of her so I waited for you. Let’s go home son, Phoebe isn’t here.”

“Why? Did something happen today? Where is she?” David’s eyes kept moving around.

“At the Mayfairs.” she said openly, not intending to hide anything from him.

David paused and looked at her. “What do you mean? Why is she there? What is she doing there? Did they force her to go there because of Ruth? Huh, i will show them that i am David Saxon today. It was Collin Mayfair i am sure, i will give him a good lashing tonight.”

His grandmother sighed deeply, she didn’t know where to begin because her friend Rebecca had filled her in on the surprising new development in her family. Phoebe was a good mystery that she kept unwrapping.

“There will be no lashing tonight David. Let’s go home, i will tell you all about it on the way.” She picked up the paper bag that was full of supplements.
