Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 187

Chapter 187: PG 10

“Here we go again with the David promotion strategy, you just throw him my way whenever you get a chance. Anyway, i will take you up on that offer this time round because it is for a good deed. Before you get your hopes up, i am just going to hold his hand….we are keeping it PG 10.”

Phoebe gave the spirit her own smirk.

“Ten!!!” it exclaimed.

Phoebe nodded. “Mmm, ten.”

“My dear, why don’t we bargain?” The spirit cozied up to her with intentions to haggle.

The relationship between Phoebe as David was not progressing fast enough, he had not even seen the door leading to her bedroom.

“How about we go up two ages, PG 13.”

“You sly spirit, all that is needed is hand holding, we should not rush things. My relationship with David is progressing at the normal rate. In my last life, i chased him but in this one, it’s his turn to chase me. Whether he can catch me or not depends on how skilled he is.”

The Saxon spirit sighed as if she had let it down greatly. Phoebe left the cabin and looked at empty plot of land. She needed to plant some more irish potatoes, fries were easy to sell in the cafe.

She noticed some plants and herbs which had not been acquired through her.

“Hmm, who planted garlic and chilli’s?” she mumbled.

It didn’t matter anyway, she left the space and her office altogether. She had no clients, ghost or human but the cafe had customers. Her grandmother was absent and Phoebe assumed she had stepped out.

What surprised her however was to find grandma Saxon sitting at one of the tables close to the counter. The old woman was sipping their popular lemon grass tea. She had a half eaten jam filled large scone.

Phoebe was hoping to leave the cafe without being noticed but the old woman saw her and waved at her. Then she gestured for Phoebe to go over, she was reluctant but went anyway.

“Grandma….Mrs. Saxon?” Phoebe approached the table.

“Pheebs! We are closer than that, please call me granny or Nana.”

“Granny, how lovely it is to see you and you look healthy and strong.” Phoebe commented.

Grandma Saxon smiled widely. “I am getting compliments about my physical state lately, that’s why i am back for more supplements. Oh my husband’s health has improved so much as well, it’s astonishing. I had asked you to deliver them at the Saxon family house in the hopes of hosting you but you didn’t come over.”

“I am sorry granny, the cafe and other business have kept me occupied but we now have a full time delivery person who can deliver the supplements whenever you want.” Phoebe lied about her reason for not going to the Saxon tower. The last thing she wanted was visit that place.

The old woman smiled at her tentatively. “You and David, i have heard some good news on that front, how is it going?” She asked after hesitating slightly.

[He’s a pain in my ass but its nothing i can’t handle.]

Grandma Saxon giggled softly on reading Phoebe’s thoughts.

“It’s…err…good.” Phoebe replied hesitantly.

It was the best answer she could come up with and it was also the truth, the relationship was good.

“So, do you see a future with my grandson? Oh…before we get to that, what do your parents think about your relationship with David, is it a match that can be made? I have heard that your oldest brother does not approve of the relationship.”

Grandma Mayfair walked in right to time to save Phoebe from answering the questions.

“Prudence Saxon, I cannot entertain you during working hours, this is my work place.”

Grandma Saxon’s eyes flew open. “This is the place you work at? I am jealous, Phoebe do you have a spot for me too?”

“NO!” Grandma Mayfair shouted, surprising them both. “Prudence you have never worked a day in your life, you are going to be a burden to us, no offense.”

Grandma Saxon laughed. “I am joking Rebecca, calm down. Pheebs i only have one job on this earth and that is to look good and enjoy myself. I cannot work, i am not cut out for the hard stuff.”

[Thank God! I cannot handle the both of you here at the same time.]

Phoebe let out a huge sigh, glad that she and her grandmother were on the same page. She already had the Saxon spirit pressing her on David matters, she didn’t need grandma Saxon doing the same daily.

“Phoebe my offer still stands, I want to buy the recipe of your supplements. Look at Rebecca, she’s stronger than an ox. All my friends are praising your products even my daughter-in- law that is hard to please is obsessed with them.” Grandma Saxon smiled warmly at her.

Phoebe thought about the recipes falling into Katherine’s hands or whoever it is that was going to be the eventual president of Saxon group now that David had stepped away.

She could not hand over the source of her wealth to them. Once lifetime of living as a Saxon horse was enough, she could not do it a second time.

[Never!]

“I am never going to sell it, it’s something I will hand over to my children someday.” Phoebe smiled back.

“Forget it Prudence, just buy and recommended our products to others, your family is rich enough. And as for you Phoebe, guard those recipes jealously you can never know what can happen, the Saxons hate competition.” Grandma Mayfair gave her friend a side eye.

Shaking her head, grandma Saxon disagreed with the statement. “That isn’t necessary true, competition is good for business. That is why i told David to go ahead when he told me that he was opening his own research center concentrating on the field of deadly diseases mostly. That kid wants to make medicines cheaper for the poor and cure as many people as possible. It’s a secret though.” She whispered the last words

Phoebe was surprised because David had not mentioned a thing to her. It was a good choice for him to go into that field because he was familiar with it. In the past life, they had together developed a number of drugs that cured various illnesses.

Although she had no plans to help him, it sounded like a viable place to invest.

Grandma Mayfair was even more shocked to hear that David had quit the Saxon group.

“No wonder he has been spending a lot of time here. Phoebe you might rethink dating the Goldilocks boy because he has his own money. It seems like David is just starting out, take it from me as an old woman that has seen the world, building a man is stressful.”

As someone that had done that before, Phoebe could not argue with that reasoning.

Grandma Saxon gasped. “How can you tell her that Becky! Listen Phoebe, David maybe branching out on his own but he is already financially successful and i believe that he is the best out of all those boys lurking around you.”

All Phoebe did was giggle. “Nana we have a hair appointment, don’t forget that we have a party to attend.”

“What party? Can I come too?” Grandma Saxon was determined to spend time with Phoebe, not even her friend was going to get in her way.
