The man

"It's going according to plan." Ashley said to someone at the other end of her call. 

A smile blossomed on her lips as the image of Ethan's distressed expression surfaced in her mind. 

"That's good, but I haven't seen her since then." the man answered. 

Ashley rolled her eyes. "don't be in haste. She's definitely going to leave him and you can have the chance to do what you please. For my boss to look so pressured, things must be falling apart." Ashley said, with a pleased expression. 

"So what's up? Did you just call to ask me that?" the man asked. 

"Not that alone. Ethan actually trusted me and was asking me to take care of things. He didn't suspect me at all." Ashley said, pleased with herself that she was patient enough and managed to let Ethan trust her. 

"And?" the man asked.
