After Rebirth They Want Me Back novel Chapter 14

Chapter 14 

Phoebe looked over and saw all three of them staring at her. She teased, “So, are you still planning to win by doing nothing?” 

In unison, the three of them replied, “Absolutely.” 

Phoebe didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Well then, I suggest we go visit the families that Charles has mentioned. We can set up a time with them to help out and then head straight there to exchange money or food.” 

At first, Maddox wasn’t keen on the idea. He was too tired. But after hearing Phoebe out, he agreed, “Yeah, let’s go ask today so we don’t miss out.” They didn’t want the other team to beat them to it. 

James and Lexie were quick to agree, “Alright.” 

Then, with Phoebe leading the way, the four of them managed to locate several households accurately and arranged to assist with the work. 

After securing an appointment with the last household, Lexie looked at Phoebe with excitement and said, “Pheebs, how did you manage to find each household so accurately?” 

They followed Phoebe’s guidance, and every time they knocked on a door and inquired, they found the right person matching the descriptions Charles had given them. 

Getting it right once or twice could be attributed to luck, but Phoebe’s accurate findings five times in a row were definitely more than luck 

it was pure wisdom.

James and Maddox also looked at Phoebe and expressed their curiosity. 

Phoebe explained, “I had drawn a map beforehand and carefully asked Charles about the unique characteristics of each of the houses. For example, David’s yard has several fig trees, which makes it stand out, and Daniel’s house has some stones and other items piled up at the door. 

“By following the map and matching the features, we were able to locate each household with ease.” 

Upon hearing her explanation, the three guests were amazed and showered Phoebe with praise, “Pheebs, you’re amazing!” 

These were things they had never even considered. It became clear that Phoebe had been gathering information from Charles about the houses‘ characteristics in order to locate the r 

right ones. 

Maddox had this big smile and said, “They say opportunities come to those who are prepared. Now I totally get what that means.” Then he turned to Phoebe and asked, “Are you always so serious about everything?” 

He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and being the youngest son, he didn’t have to take over the family business. So, from childhood to adulthood, there were always people around to help him with everything. 

Phoebe just smiled and said, “Yeah, that’s about right. If you’re gonna do something, might as well give it your all.” 

Her mentor taught her from a young age that she could only rely on herself and should keep learning throughout life. Being careful with everything was being responsible to others and herself. 

Phoebe didn’t say much about this to show off how hard she was working. Instead, he changed the subject. 

“Starting tomorrow, we’ll have work to do for the next few days,” she said. “Do you want to keep exploring the village or head back and rest?” 

James and Lexie thought Phoebe would try to stand out by saying more about herself, but she didn’t, and it felt more genuine. 

Lexie stretched her legs and said, “Why don’t we head back and take a break? My legs feel like they’re not even mine anymore.” She usually danced, but she had never felt this tired. 

Phoebe kindly said, “We’ve been on the bus for so long and walking since we got here. I’m really beat.” 

The two guys agreed, “Yeah, let’s head back and chill.” So, the four of them went back to the yard. 

There were no beddings, so Lexie took out the clothes from the suitcase and used them as a makeshift cushion to rest. She was just too exhausted and sleepy, 

Phoebe sat cross–legged on the bed with her eyes closed. Seeing them like that, the photographer who was live streaming stepped out. 

The comments just kept coming during the live broadcast. 

[Phoebe is incredible. She nailed every location accurately.] 

[She made a map and took notes to find each place. She’s so dedicated.] 

[I’m a fan of Phoebe now. I like how serious she is about her work.] 

[She didn’t even take credit for it. Most people would’ve tried to show off, but not her.]
