Reborn ghost seeing lady is pampered by her ex husband-Chapter 387: Another family employee.

Before she could get any more excited than she already was, Phoebe retained composure. Knowing humans, there was something they always wanted in return for their help.

Despite the fact that this was her aunt, Phoebe still had reservations, she wondered what had prompted her aunt to make the offer. Was she planning to leave her guardianship work and this was a way to pass time?

Was she moving back home, after all she had a life in Hartoum so would she put it on pause just to train her? Was it because of the mystic keys that she had made such a decision?

Phoebe stretched her hand forward, gesturing for her aunt to stop. Her facial features adjusted to show all the doubts she was having. "Aunt hold on, as grateful as I am for this opportunity there are some things you should clarify. I need someone that is going to dedicate a lot of their time to train me until I am confident in my magic skills and skilled in physical combat.

How are you going to do that when you have other things shackled to you. You have a life in Hartoum, a business and other guardian duties. How will you balance all these things, my training needs to be hands on, we cannot do it over a video call"

A knot of despair tightened in her stomach, there was no one better to teach her than aunt Maureen. She was part of the family and therefore would be patient with her and dedicated. She would also be genuine and not hide any skills that she had, most people that were in the supernatural world did not like to share skills and spells.

Phoebe was just the same, it is why her grimmoire was locked up tight in the space where no thief could get their hands on it.

With a light wave of the hand, aunt Maureen chuckled softly. "I know what you are worried about, but you do not have to. I was planning on moving back home permanently, honestly the shop in Hartoum was a cover for my guardian work but I am thinking about retiring now.

After returning home I have come to realize that there is a lot I am missing out on. Mother is getting old, Collin is getting married, Luke is dating, and you are obviously not far from marriage yourself. I don’t want to be like my father anymore, missing out on all the important events.

I don’t want to sacrifice anymore needlessly and someday be brought home in a coffin and vague cause of death, I want more for myself now, a somewhat normal life." She paused, measuring whether that answer was convincing enough.

It was not all lies; she had thought things through after coming back this time round and hearing about most of the things Ruth had done. That fake cuckoo had almost killed her mother, if Phoebe had not discovered it, she would have returned from her mission to find her mother long buried. Also, after seeing Phoebe’s thoughts about having an enemy, how could she just leave like that.

They were family, an enemy of one Mayfair was an enemy to all the Mayfair’s.

"My dear niece after seeing how those two warlock minions incapacitated you, I realized that you needed to up your fighting game and I will help you do that. Think about it, where can you find a better teacher than me?

I am now ranked the third strongest guardian of the supernatural wall and that is only because the top two are Saxon’s that probably started training in their mother’s wombs. Anyway, do you want me or not?" She offered and left the final decision for her to make.

Still with such a good explanation Phoebe couldn’t help but be suspicious, there was definitely something her aunt wanted. "And what is it that you expect of me in return?" Her narrowed eyes studied her aunt.

"Easy, you said that you could help me find out what happened to my father, your grandfather, or were you bluffing around?" Aunt Maureen quizzed, she still had her reservations, wondering what time of trick she was going to use that she a first-class guardian didn’t know about.

Phoebe shrugged with indifference. "There is something, but I guess we will see when the time comes. I have tried to summon grandpa’s spirit from the other side twice, but I got nothing. We have to speak to old man Lee again, he once told me to meet with him if I have any questions about my grandpa." She cocked her head. "Aunt, is that it, just information?" She continued to ask, she wanted to know how soon they couldn’t start.

Aunt Maureen nodded, "Of course you are my dear niece, even though I am a calculating person due to the nature of my job, I will not calculate you. I propose that we start your training soon, which reminds me that I need a job.

Since I am going to be here for the foreseeable future and do not like to sit idly around, I will need to find some worthwhile work, maybe at the Mayfair free clinic or at the corporation.

But first, I need to go to Hartoum to bring back all my important things." Her demeanor changed, becoming more serious as she gave Phoebe a thoughtful gaze. "I have to tell your father about this."

The last words sent shivers down Phoebe’s spine, her father would lose his mind after hearing about Maureen’s guardian duties, if Maureen added on that she was teaching her everything a guardian knew and did, he would punch some walls.

"Aunt why would you even consider telling him when you know how he will react? Do not bother for now, let’s keep our secret for a little while longer and train secretly. As for finding something to occupy your time, could you consider working at my cafe? It is not free; I will pay you handsomely of course." She hoped that her aunt accepted, customers had doubled, and Rossett was getting overwhelmed since there were no other employees.

She needed at least three employees, Sabrina as a part timer, her aunt full time and another person that she was yet to find.

"Oh, baby you want to pay me, I am afraid that you cannot afford me!

I am a Mayfair with a heavy trust fund which is in the billion range." Aunt Maureen released a mocking chuckle.

Phoebe’s lips curved up and she smirked. [Ha! I have an eternal gold mountain and a trust fund too plus shares in three different companies worth millions and billions, no one is richer than me in this country.]

"I told you there are rules to that." The spirit chimed quietly.

On the other hand, aunt Maureen was flummoxed, either her niece had a mental problem, or she truly had a wild imagination. Which gold mountain did she have? Whatever it was, she needed to find out more about her and this past life of hers and why she could project her thoughts out to some people but not others.

"I will work at the cafe." She agreed mostly because she wanted to keep Phoebe close.

If Phoebe was her enemy, she would consider it keeping her enemy close, but they were not enemies, they were family. She was keeping her niece close for her own protection and to uncover her secrets.
