Chapter 17: In Which He Has A Plan

Ashton woke up to a familiar weight on top of him, he looked down at Sora still fast asleep with her mouth slightly agape and her shirt or in other words his shirt, was risen up to fully reveal her cute cotton panties that she was wearing.
Ashton couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he recalled the events of last night.
She was perfect. An absolute fucking tease even when she didn't even intend to be a tease.
Ashton's eyes landed on the clock that read 9AM and he sighed deciding to get up, having a long day ahead of him.
He knew his little minx was tired from their ministrations last night so he let her sleep some more.
He gently flipped her over on the bed and rested her head on the pillow before fixing her shirt and covering her up with the blanket properly.
She murmured incoherently in her sleep and shifted a little but didn't wake up as she snuggled into the pillow.
Ashton loved the sight of her.
He took a shower and got ready to leave but not before placing a small kiss to Sora's head as he closed the door behind him.
Ashton had come up with a plan to get Vincent the details he required.
He would need access to the Takaheshi's database that they had set up and the Takaheshi estate. Ashton knew that all their consignments and operations details were on there. That was basically their operating system, it had cost the Takaheshi millions of dollars to set it up and now Ashton was going to try getting access to it.
Ashton stopped in front of the familiar big silver gates of the Takaheshi estate that were he same as he remembered from all those years ago when he had visited with his father.
And here he was again.
A guard came up to him and Ashton rolled down the window of his truck.
"State your business" the guard said, his voice monotone.
"I need to meet with Alessandro Takaheshi" Ashton stated.
"Go back to where you came from. Mr. Takaheshi doesn't take visitors" the guard said.
"Just let him know that Ashton Hayes is here, I'll go if he doesn't want to see me"
"Don't be stubborn, we can't do that. If he was to meet with you, we would've been informed before hand"
"If I call him and tell him that one of his guard is harassing his dear friend at the gate what do you think he'll do? Just go inform him, if he says no I'll leave but I highly doubt he'll say no, however if you make me go without even giving me the courtesy of informing Mr. Takaheshi of my presence then you might regret the consequences later on when he finds out what you did" Ashton said with a poker face making the guard go into deep thought for a few seconds as he stared at Ashton.
The guard then turned around and informed someone through the intercom to tell Me. Takaheshi that a man named Ashton Hayes wants to meet him.
Ashton waited patiently in the car as his message was being conveyed.
Shortly after, the guard returned with a morose look on his face as he commanded the other guards to open up the gates and let Ashton in.
Ashton let out an internal sigh. He was blindly working this plan, he didn't know if Alessandro Takaheshi would actually agree to meet him but he figured that there was a good chance after the talk they had the other day. Nonetheless, Ashton had no plan B.
He was guided inside the mansion by the butler. This time Ashton took in all sorts of details around the mansion unlike when he visited for the first time as a child and was too distracted with the thoughts of going back home.
"I have to say, it's quite satisfying to see you here as a grown man than when I saw you here before as a mere boy taking a chocolate from me" Alessandro Takaheshi made his entrance from the giant mahogany doors.
"I had no clue what I was getting into back then so I couldn't do anything about it but now even after knowing what I am getting into, I can't really do anything about it so I have decided to finally make my peace with it, after all, the money will be generous I suppose" Ashton said and Takaheshi let out a small laugh.
"Now that's what I am talking about and you don't need to worry about the money, it will be more than enough to last you a lifetime" Takaheshi replied.
"Then I am fully devoted to this mafia family"
"I am glad to hear it, a uniting else?" He asked.
"Yes actually, I have an understanding that you have high tech software and database specifically to run the operations of your whole set up" Ashton finally got to it.
"Yes, what about it?"
"It would really help if I am granted access to it, I have to wipe out data files of all sorts of men and women the Takaheshi puts down. The software that I use in order to grant myself access to hat sort of info and data is inadequate and risky while yours I suppose is much more advanced so it will aid me doing my work quicker and at lower risk" Ashton explained.
There was a pregnant pause for a while after that and Takaheshi stared at Ashton, seemingly thinking about what he just said before he came to a decision.
"Fine. I'll grant you access to it but you tread carefully Hayes, it has delicate data and if something goes wrong or you betray me, the consequences would be dire" Takaheshi warned.
Ashton could feel his heartbeat pick up at the threat but he didn't dare show it on his face.
"I won't do any hiring of that sorts, and I appreciate that you're putting your trust in me with this" Ashton said and only got a grunt in reply from the mafia lord before he turned around and walked away but not before giving his butler the explicit instructions to hand Ashton a key card for the systems room.
