Immediately Maria pressed the green button and held the phone to her ear, her fingers tapping lightly against the steering wheel as she waited.
Then a familiar voice came through—not the boss himself, but the man who always spoke for him. His personal bodyguard.
"Miss Maria," the voice said smoothly, "I'm calling on behalf of the boss. He asked me to inform you that we've received the information you requested."
Upon hearing what he just said, Maria's eyes narrowed slightly, her lips curling into a calm, satisfied smile.
The voice continued, "He said everything is going exactly as planned. The process will begin soon. You don't need to worry about anything."
There was a pause, then the man added, "As for what was done before, the boss said you should relax. He's handling it. Nothing will come back to you."
At that moment Maria nodded slowly. "I understand," she replied. "I trust him."
"Good," the bodyguard said. "That's all for now."
Then the call ended.
