Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband - Chapter 475

Chapter 475: Up to speed
Now that the little episode was out of the way, it was time to get back to business. Phoebe left her grandmother’s side, Minka and George held hands again. Tension and worry flooded their bodies again, the change was so visible in both of them.

Before they could begin, there was one knock on the door and then it was opened. Maureen poked her head inside first, widened the door and entered fully. Rekha followed, discomfort shining in her eyes as it always did when Maureen made her invade Phoebe’s office when she was dealing with clients, and they were idle or had little to do.

“Everything alright in here? We heard screaming, cursing and then silence which was worrisome.” Maureen asked, strolling in with her suspicious eyes roaming around. “I can cut the tension in here with a blunt knife.” She continued to say. “Do you need help?”

She noticed the first aid box and a wound cleansing tonic on Phoebe’s desk which made her frown.

Rekha followed right behind her with her arms crossed. “You have been in here for far too long, there is a movie theater haunting case that I want us to check out as soon as possible.” Her eyes dropped to see the time on her smart watch.

Shaking her head from side-to-side Phoebe requested them to sit. “We already have a case actually.” She informed them.

Maureen and Rekha traded gazes and then looked at the Osbourne’s.

“Meet the Osbourne’s.” Phoebe gestured at the couple and then Maureen and Rekha. “Osbourne’s meet the rest of my team.”

“Are Minka and George our clients?” Maureen asked, settling into one of the sofas. “I have to say that it is not that shocking since I saw a ghost touching George provocatively.” She stated. Crossing one leg over the other as she got comfortable, she clucked a few times like a hen. “If I was you George, I would be taking ten showers a day in a bathtub filled with holy water.”

George shuddered; it was if he could feel the ghost touching him at that very moment. Phoebe raised her hands to the sky and rolled her eyes.

“Why aunt, why?” Phoebe wanted to ask Maureen how many times they had had the ‘don’t scare the clients talk.’

Minka’s eyes flew open. “Miss Maureen, you can see ghosts too. Is it like a family thing?” Her voice dripped with surprise.

Waving her hand to dismiss the words, Maureen quickly cleared the air. “My niece lent everyone that works here the ability to see ghosts because it is part of our job to help people like you and then move on.” She coughed lightly. “So, what is going on really, who is haunting you?”

Phoebe explained everything to the point of where they were standing at the moment.

“I still cannot believe that a ghost has been haunting us.” Minka twisted her nose to express her disgust. The idea of a ghostly woman constantly touching and licking her husband was gross and disgusting. Minka had made up her mind, the ghostly woman was responsible for their inability to have children.

Maureen winced lightly. “Well….not you but Mr. Osbourne, that ghost is as straight as a ruler, she had no interest in you Minka. Let us see the pictures of these exes of yours perhaps one died and is making life miserable for you.” She proposed.

Like Grace’s situation, George did not have the pictures, so they checked the social platforms and school yearbooks that were online where they found the pictures.

“None of them looks like that ghost.” Maureen stated her eyes roaming around. “Where is it anyway? It was fawning over you like you are some delicious box of chocolates. I find it hard to believe that it has allowed you to go out of its sight for so long.” She spoke with doubt, her eyes wandered around the office.

Rekha made a humming sound as she thought of a possibility. “This is a ghost sanctuary which keeps out evil ghosts. Perhaps the fact that it did not follow him in here means that it is a ghost with bad intentions hence the fear and inability to waltz into the cafe.” She spoke; her tone laced with uncertainty.

Cocking her head to the side, Grandma Mayfair nodded. “I agree, it must have figured things out when Minka and George talked about coming here at home, so it run away or stayed at their place.”

Maureen shook her head slowly, disagreeing with one of the guesses her mother had made. “Yeah…..that thing is not running away. It loves George as much as I love Ghost cherry candy, especially the pepper flavored ones. It is not meant for humans and yet I keep eating it anyway.”

“Ghost candy!” Grandma Mayfair was confused however nobody bothered to explain what it was. Those answers could wait.

Rekha grabbed their hunting bags from the top of a bookshelf in the office.

“I guess that we are going ghost hunting at our in-laws place.” Phoebe stated.

George let out a pronounced sigh. “So, you guys really believe that a ghost of a person that I do not know is haunting us…me. Even though we Osbourne’s turned our backs on the supernatural world long ago I have kept up with some affairs when I married Minka because the Lee family is active in that field. Why is it that my grand father-in-law has never seen or said anything about this ghost? He is or was a guardian, one of the best that ever lived! Surely a ghost like this would not escape his eyes.” He raised a good question and made other valid points.

“Old man Lee has aged, and he quit being a guardian many years ago, over a decade and a half I believe. Magic is always changing, ghosts like other supernatural creatures adapt to circumstances, if he missed something it is not surprising. But yes, with his abilities he could figure things out, but you should understand that ghosts are not stupid. They know how to run when they see a threat, it would not appear when your grandfather-in-law is around, especially if it has ever seen him using magic to deal with another ghost.” Rekha explained briefly.

Maureen raised her hand halfway. “George let me ask this, instinctively do you sometimes feel like you are not alone? Like maybe someone is watching you?” She asked.

“Yeah, aliens.” George responded, he sometimes felt like he was being watched but as a person who chose to believe in science, he always wanted it to be aliens. Even though he knew of the supernatural world, he always assumed there was a scientific explanation for it.

Maureen shook her head lightly. “No George that was the ghost’s presence that you felt. How many times did you get that feeling when you were in bed?” She quizzed with a smile, her words hinting at something.

Those words made him shudder. “Well then let us go home and find out what the hell that thing wants from me and why it chose to haunt me of every man in the world. After questioning it, I hope you kill it. Permanently.”
