Chloe Marshall handed him the phone. Since Ethan Ellsworth couldn't take it at the moment, she put it on speaker.
"I've called you so many times, why didn't you pick up? Was it your little assistant not letting you answer on purpose?"
Nora Ainsworth and Quentin Grant, who were standing nearby, overheard.
Ethan Ellsworth explained, "No, I just finished filming. She's been here the whole time, not with me."
Jean Grant just said, "Oh," then added, "Ethan, you've wrapped up filming, right? Are you coming back tonight? I want to see you. I'm squatting outside your front door right now."
Quentin Grant looked at Ethan Ellsworth in shock, appearing to have a question.
Ethan gestured for him to wait a moment.
He said, "Yeah, I'll be back in a bit. I'm going to hang up now. I'm taking off my makeup. You should go back inside, it's cold out."
Jean Grant agreed, and the call ended.
