He took two of his men along but they were hiding incase the person had ulterior motives.

He walked straight to the table with the indication 1qq.
Ashton:" Hello"
He said to the woman who sat on that table.
She was in her thirties.

Her eyes lit up.
Woman:" Hello. Sit down. What would you like to have?"
Ashton:" The juice"
Woman:" Alright. Waiter!"
She placed her order and ordered juice for Ashton. The waiter asked which juice he wanted.
Ashton:" The juice you promised to serve me."
Woman:" Hahaha, you can't be too serious. Okay. He wants nothing."
Ashton:" Hey woman, you didn't call me here to mess up with me, right?"
Woman:" Calm down kid. I'm Marie and you're Miles, I know."
Ashton:" Tell me everything you know about Ryanne."
Marie:" Alright. I've been her personal maid of the past five years. Miss Essel used to live in Springfield in the big house. For some reasons which as not been leaked out to the ear of any servant save the Butler, her family lost a great fortune. They were very rich, the richest in Springfield. Miss Essel was once a celebrity but when they lost everything she resigned. The Mistress was wicked to Miss Essel. At first I thought she was her daughter but later I found out she was her stepmom but they never let the girl know. She cried all day tomorrow night. She begged to leave the big house. The Mistress disagreed but later on the Master arranged for her to be brought to Newzee."
The waiter brought Marie her food.
Ashton: " Can I ask a question?"
Marie:" Yes"
Ashton:" How is the big house? Is it prison?
Marie laughed
Marie;" Prison?! Like seriously, no. It's a family house. It has another name. The J something Mansion. It's a big beautiful Mansion in Springfield City. I worked there for a year. There salary was great until they fell.
Ashton:" Why is she Soo cold and quiet?"
Marie:" For that, I don't know. But she doesn't have any friends and no one calls her unless family issues and that's once in awhile. Always indoors never goes out unless it's time for school or she has to go to the big house."
Ashton:" Why are you telling me all this?"
Marie:" 'Cause you want to know. If it's not the case would you have been here?"
Ashton never expected the.woman to give him such a clever answer.
Marie:" That's all I have for you. I told you not to come empty handed."
