Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 222

Chapter 222: We do not like Katherine either.
Hastily Katherine pulled off the black glasses that she had been wearing. It was late in the evening and it was getting darker.

Phoebe wondered whether she could even see where she was going. On the other hand, Katherine thought her eyes were playing tricks on her, words had appeared on top of Phoebe’s head but with the shades on, she assumed that she had hallucinated maybe.

She thought that it was a result of exhaustion, after all she had spent sleepless nights in the laboratory trying to discover the secret in Phoebe’s portions but so far, she had failed terribly.

On top of that, her work burden from the moment David resigned had increased significantly. David had been taking on a lot of work, much more that anybody realized and his absence in the company was being felt in certain areas.

But, as she wanted desperately to be the first chairwoman of the Saxon group, complaining wasn’t an option. Katherine wanted to prove that she was fit to hold the position so she needed results, quick ones. The only shortcut to those quick significant results that she could see was by getting a hand on Phoebe’s formulas for the tonics.

A weary smile formed on her lips. “Hello, Phoebe Gabriel oh wait it’s Mayfair now, sorry. You are a hard woman to come by, I have passed by the black ghost Cafe countless times to see you but I always missed you because you are never there somehow.”

A mocking chuckle almost escaped through Phoebe’s lips. Why was the high and mighty Katherine Saxon looking for her desperately? In the past she treated her like a rug__, no, a housekeeper because she was a paper’s daughter. Had things changed now that she was a Mayfair, she wondered.

“What for?” Her voice was as sharp as a knife, not ready to entertain whatever rubbish that was going to spewed out of Katherine’s mouth.

On hearing Phoebe’s unwelcoming tone of voice that was filled with mockery, Katherine’s eyebrows shot up in a mixture of surprise and wonder. They had never met before why was she perceiving hostility from her?

Was it David? She immediately assumed that he had said something negative about her to Phoebe. They were not that close and they had been competitors at work, it made sense if he perhaps vented his troubles to his girlfriend.

Katherine decided to introduce herself first and see where things went, it was possible that she was leaping to conclusions, David was not the kind to share his problems with anyone.

She believed that Phoebe would soften up on hearing her last name.

“I am a Saxon, Katherine Saxon, the eldest daughter of the current president of the Saxon group.”

She announced herself with pride, like she was a queen or a princess.

“And?” Phoebe’s eyes roamed over her from head to toe.

“What am i supposed to do with that information? Should i be impressed?” Phoebe chuckled, “I am sorry but I am not. I am Phoebe Mayfair, only daughter of the chairman of Mayfair Corporation. If you want to impress me, use something else, not your family name.” Phoebe stood up and turned around with a deeply satisfied glimmer in her eyes.

She walked slowly, heading towards the bench under a tree in a spot that was hidden between the maze and the cemetery.

“Ooh, you must be so happy right now, she is steaming with anger.” The Saxon spirit dashed out of the space. “She deserves a lesson indeed if she is going to change her ways.”

Behind Phoebe meanwhile, fury had quickly surged through Katherine’s veins, she hated it when people didn’t give her the respect she thought she deserved.

She followed and grabbed Phoebe’s hand, putting it in an iron clad grasp. “Where do you think you are going? I am not done talking to you!” Her voice was low but full of energy and authority.

Phoebe reared her hand back, ready to punch or slap Katherine like she had long desired to do. This plan did not come to fruition as they were interrupted.

David came out of nowhere and grabbed his sister’s arm, his grasp was so hard that she winced in pain.

“Ouch David let go!” She twisted her lips.

“You first!” He jutted his chin to her hand that was still wrapped around Phoebe’s wrist. Katherine let go immediately.

Out of nowhere, rushed footsteps approached them and Katherine was slapped on the back by none other than her own mother.

“What the hell Katherine! Why are you harassing David’s future wife? Have you lost your mind, do you know how precious my daughter-in-law is? What if you break her wrist and ruin David’s relationship or ours with the Mayfairs?” Miranda asked

Her concern for Phoebe was surprisingly genuine. Of course it was only because of Phoebe’s new financial and social status.

Her words caused Katherine to laugh out sarcastically however.

“Oh since when mother? A while ago you were so against her marrying David but now that she’s a Mayfair she qualifies?” Katherine spoke through pursed lips.

Miranda pointed an index finger in her chest and laughed half heartedly. “Me! When did i reject her? Even the money i gave her was a test to see how much she loved your brother and she passed with flying colors. If your brother wants her then he can have her. Who am I to fight against young true love?” She smiled slyly at Phoebe who was massaging her wrist.

She was also staring at Miranda as if she was seeing a ghost although in her case, she did see ghosts. But, this new Miranda was a surprise to her, catching her off guard.

“True love my ass!” Katherine whispered and scoffed.

Suddenly, she didn’t like Phoebe very much, however she still wanted her formulas. “Look, i am not here to fight i just have a business proposal for Phoebe. Anyone in this country would be glad to have a connection to the Saxon group i am going to give that to her on a silver platter.”

“What proposal?” Miranda asked knowingly.

Having used some of Phoebe’s tonics she too had realized that they were better than the health supplements made by the Saxon group. It was one of the reasons that she wanted to trap Phoebe in a marriage, to get her formulas after which she planned to turn her into a house wife.

“Mother, you have seen what her tonics have done for grandpa. He is back to normal and even mobile in less than two months. If we can mass produce these health supplements under the Saxon group, we can make money and save lives. Its a win-win for everybody, what’s not to like?” Katherine nearly snarled the words out.

Her patience was running thin, she thought the deal was a dream come true for Phoebe. She was what they called ‘small time’ in the business. This was an opportunity for her to join the big leagues. Wasn’t it why she was dating David in the first place?

Phoebe sighed deeply. “I am not interested take your proposal else where.”

“Come on child, listen to your sister-in-law. We will pay you heavily for it…..” Miranda was interrupted by David who growled.

“She said that she is not interested! now move it, both of you!” David raised his voice sternly at his mother and sister.
