Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 283

Chapter 283: The hunt continues.

Phoebe stepped out of her cafe, the jingling of the bell marking her departure. Strands of red hair once meticulously pinned by Jenny had come loose. A brush of red on the side of her dress stood out like a sore thumb, her were clothes ruined.

‘I need a change of clothes.’ She thought, a quiet sigh that seemed to carry the burdens of the day left her mouth.

It was just a half past midday but to say that she was exhausted was an understatement. She would have taken a one hour nap but she had something urgent to deal with that could not wait.

Luckily for her, she had a place to go to in order to change and wash the stench of blood out of her hands. There were days like this one where she was grateful that the cafe and the apartment were on the same building.

Once in her apartment she cleaned up, went to the parking lot and drove out. A couple of cars followed her, some more obvious than others, especially the young driver in the blue jeep.

“Is he new? He doesn’t even know how to tail someone.”

Even the choice of color for the car he had picked was too obvious. Phoebe rolled her eyes upwards, stepped on the gas pedal and drove straight to Alfa security firm. There, she was let inside the heavily guarded gates without a security check. She was David’s girlfriend, the lady boss as most of the employees called her in their private discussions.

A thing that they rebuked David over in secret was the large framed picture of Phoebe on his office wall right between the current president of Fog country, Jimmy Inglewood and Grant Saxon, his favorite ancestor.

Obviously, his number one priority was right there on the wall, shouting for all to notice.

“Boss lady.” Roman said, with one of his eyebrows raised.

He had come down urgently when Santos called ahead to give him a heads up about her arrival.

“Good afternoon Roman, tell him that i am here.” Phoebe settled in one of the seats positioned in front of the reception desk.

“Sure.” Roman arched an eyebrow once again, wondering what else his boss had told Phoebe about concerning his affairs apart from the fact that he owned Alfa security something he had stressed was super confidential.

“I guess there are exceptions to every rule.” he mumbled.

Phoebe, he assumed, was David’s exception. When they were in bed together, he probably spilled all of his secrets.

Roman’s presumption was wrong because David had never told Phoebe about his security company, it involved a darker side of him that he never wanted her to come close to in case things ever blew up.

Without knocking on the door, Roman entered the office and immediately announced that Phoebe had arrived to see David.

David was on the phone and typing into his laptop at the same time. The phone fell and his fingers froze.

“Who did you say is here to see me?” David blinked once, then twice. His image struggling to comprehend what he had just heard.

He really thought Roman was playing a prank on him and he observed the man’s face but it was apathetic as it was usually.

“I said, Phoebe Mayfair is here to see you. Should I bring her to you or send her away because…”

Roman’s words were cut short by David. “No need, I’ll go to her.”

He rushed passed Roman and the door flew open with a violent clutter, slamming against the wall as he burst through as if on an emergency evacuation.

Roman shook his head slightly, he had noticed that Phoebe was David’s Achilles heel. She could be used by his enemies to get to him. His friend and partner did not even hide his weakness from the public, it was a terrible thing to have a known weakness in such a business.

If it was up to him, Phoebe would be shipped off to some unknown location__, a nice residence and David would meet up with her there. She would be given a fat monthly allowance and all the wealth she desired to live comfortably forever. The only condition was that she keep the relationship private. It was a simpler solution to removing her from the world, permanently.

“Then again, he is a Saxon and he must marry, his wife has to be in the public eye. It cannot be helped…..” Roman thought.

Downstairs, David found Phoebe waiting just as Roman had said.

“Pheebs?” David struggled to smile, he was delighted to see her as always but this was just the wrong place. “Why are you here? How…how did you know that i was here?” He asked as he took a seat next to her.

He did not miss the pretentious curious looks of the two receptionists that were pretending to be busy but eavesdropping.

“I put a tracker in you.” Phoebe joked, her words however caused blood to drain from his face.

David thought about the bug or worm in Ruth and he felt creeped out. Had she really put something like that inside of him?

“I am kidding,” She rectified with a laugh to put him at ease. “I cast a spell.” She delivered in a deadpan voice.

Old David would have been skeptical, new David was a believer in all things Phoebe the shaman. A spell definitely sounded better than a tracker.

It was also a lie however, the Saxon spirit was the one that had revealed David’s location to her.

“I don’t want you here Pheebs, some of the things that go on here are…..not so nice, they are not for you to see or hear. Let’s go talk else where, like a restaurant or gardens. Maybe a children’s playground.” he rambled.

He was short of saying anywhere but here.

“I understand that you are doing whatever you are doing to protect me. I get it David, you don’t have to treat me like a fragile child. I walk between two world, you have no idea what not so nice things i have seen.” She smiled a little when his face transitioned to show curiosity.

“What have you seen?” he asked.

Phoebe didn’t answer, he would not understand anyway. She had her own darkness inside, a part that was not so nice which she was saving for Ruth and her hidden enemy. When the time came, he would understand

“That’s not why i am here, the ghosts put talismans on the men that took Ruth. I need you to send some men to search this location.

“Phoebe changed the subject, further more she checked her bag and pulled out a map with some moving dots. It looked like a live GPS tracker on a screen but it was on a paper.

Not even technology could do this, it was very impressive.

“I got information that Ruth was taken to Silver nation. I have already sent some the best men i have to begin gathering information. When we know enough, they will capture her dead or alive.” His words were firm.

What he left out was that when they knew enough, Luna planned to get rid of Ruth___permanently.

“In case they fail to find her but find the men, then they should bring them to me or at least one, I’ll force the truth out of them. I doubt that they would just open there mouths and spill where that bitch is.

If she cannot be brought back and the matter is urgent, i will give you some truth telling talismans, you can fly or ship them out. Better yet, they can be used for information gathering. I should go work on that.” Phoebe got on her feet, she had a new mission.

David kissed her on the cheek before rushing away to tackle on the assignment she had given him. In this life, they would turn the tables and their enemies would pay with blood.
