Miguel didn’t wait for Isaac’s response. His eyes moved toward Ash, and with a subtle nod, he gave the signal. Without hesitation, Ash reached for her phone and dialed Cole, her tone clipped and professional as she spoke into the receiver. "Change of plans, bring in some of your men immediately," she said, her voice cool and commanding. On the other end, Cole didn’t miss a beat, it was as though he had been waiting for the call. "On it," he replied, the call ending just as swiftly. Isaac, who had been watching the exchange with amused disbelief, chuckled. “ What is this? Is this supposed to intimidate me? Make me pack up and leave?” Isaac asked. Miguel’s expression remained impassive as he responded. “Of course not, Isaac. I know you're a proud man, and I’m counting on that today.”
