All the apartments from A to D were luxurious but block D took things to a whole new level. Everything a human needed from the gym, pool, theater and more were built inside the houses yet tenants from other blocks had to share these privileges.
"What happened to the previous tenant?" The Saxon spirit smiled slyly, it was already aware who the new tenant of apartment 303D was. Things were unfolding in its favor however it wasn't about to ruin the surprise.
"There is a rumor in the group chat that the new tenant of that apartment paid triple the current market price for it, I don't know him but I already don't like him. I suspect he's a braggart." Phoebe carried the boxes and walked out.
The moment she stepped out, she noticed the rude teenage girl whose name she recalled was Cassie. She wondered why she was coming out of the land lord's house.
"Oh its the ghost lady." Cassie commented just as her brother stepped out of the house.
[Why are they coming out of there? Did this girl do something naughty once again and now her brother has to apologize on her behalf?]
She gave Collin a sympathetic look. He had told her the last time they met that Cassie had taken money from his drawer that's why he had taken the wallet from her hence the misunderstanding.
Collin quickly stepped forward and greeted her, he had read her thoughts therefore he corrected the wrong narrative Phoebe had about his sister.
"I think that I may have forgotten to inform you that am the land lord of this place." He casually spoke like it was a simple thing.
The boxes in Phoebe's hands fell to the floor as her mouth grew wide open. "Land lord? Am sorry did you say land lord?"
The red haired woman was more than surprised because she was expecting the owner of The Cerene Apartments to be an older man maybe even with a potbelly because there is no way this handsome young man standing before her had that much money unless of course it was inheritance.
[He must think that am some kind of nut job judging by how I treated him, first I called him a pervert, then I slapped him,,,,,]
She bit her bottom lip and lowered her head.
"Landlord?" Phoebe whispered but her question was loud enough for Cassie to hear. The teenage girl's curt look never once left her shocked face.
Cassie rolled her eyes and shouted as she began to walk away. "Yes lady, He just told you that he's the landlord. Don't tell me that you are our next door neighbor? What kind of terrible luck is this? Collin you need to relocate her, what if one of her pet ghosts escapes and possesses one of us?"
The girl began to march away with folded arms, her pronounced lips high up in the air.
"Pets! Did this mannerless child just call ghosts pets? I advise that you keep your distance from this young man otherwise you have to deal with that insolent brat for the rest of your life."
The ancestor spirit gave its unsolicited advise, it had noticed that Phoebe blushed each time she saw the handsome young man and it would be a huge disadvantage to David if Phoebe caught feelings for him.
Collin shot Phoebe an apologetic look, the closed smile that had formed on his lips when he read her thoughts was still present.
"Please don't mind her, she is always in a grumpy mood. I guess it's a teenage thing but overall am glad that we are neighbors and I hope that we become friends as well."
He spoke before racing after his sister whom he was taking to school. He left behind a stunned Phoebe that was thinking about the day she thought her landlord a pervert. Boy had she been wrong about things!
She was just glad that he couldn't hear her thoughts or he would have thrown her out of the building.
Also, this Cassie and Connie, she wondered if the two rude teenage girls were sisters in another life.
When she got to the Cafe, the smell of English roses was wafting in the air. The smell was so strong that Phoebe began sniffing them right before she entered.
The dim Cafe had brightened up by the pinkish flowers, the entire room was filled with baskets of them.
"Woooo" Exclaimed the Saxon spirit, a wide smile showing all it's teeth formed on its lips. "What is going on here? It's not even your birthday yet darling." It went on to hover each and every basket while appreciating the sweet smell.
Phoebe was very nonchalant about the situation because she was certain that Rosset who was bouncing on her feet while smiling from ear to ear was the recipient of the flowers.
However when the woman saw her, she hurriedly rushed to her side with a basket that was bigger than the others. "This... I mean all this is for you." She handed it to Phoebe who was reluctant to take it from her.
Blinking continuously because she knew of no one that would send her so many flowers, not even her mom whom she loved so much, Phoebe asked who they were from.
"They were delivered but you can check the card." Rosset pointed at the tinny paper card that was stuck in between the petals.
"For the most beautiful woman in the world."
Her brows pulled together as she read out loud. It had no name therefore she couldn't tell who it was from.
Phoebe reached for her phone and called her mother who denied having made the sweet gesture.
Upon hanging up, Phoebe asked Rosset to call the delivery company that had dropped the flowers to pick them. "This has to be a mistake, no one I know would do this for me."
"NO!" Shouted the Saxon spirit shocking Phoebe who was staring at the old cut diamond necklace. It looked extremely expensive but she didn't want it.
Phoebe's eyes met those of the spirit that had become speechless all over a sudden.
"Do you know who sent these? Do you sense something?"
Shaking it's head, the spirit denied aggressively. "How would I...I mean no." It lied blatantly and vanished into the pendant.
*********
Saxon Tower.
It wasn't normal for grandma Saxon to be quiet when having meals. Usually it meant that something was seriously bothering her. The old woman wore a deep frown on her face and she hardly touched her breakfast as the porched eggs and bacon the chef had served her were still the same, untouched.
The family members that were present had noticed because she was usually the conversation starter during dining hours.
Sighing for what seemed like the a hundredth time, grandma Saxon laid the cutlery she was holding down on the table.
Robert Saxon who seemed to have had enough of seeing worry form on his mother's face asked the old woman what was bothering her.
"Mom, just tell us what has caused that big frown on your beautiful face." Robert gave his mother a quizzical gaze.
There was no one on planet earth that Robert adored more than his mother. He loved and paid attention to her so much so that it some times created tension between he and his wife.
Katherine Saxon who was the most blunt and first born child in the family smacked her lips before speaking. "This has David Saxon written all over it. Am certain because grandma only gets this way when her beloved grandson is in some kind of trouble, I wonder what he has done this time round."
