Thud! Staring at the man in front of her, Lesley angrily threw the file onto the desk.
"Is that all you've got?"
she demanded in a cold voice.
"Yes," Adley answered, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Well!
Get more information! I need every single detail about her."
"But it is already—"
He stopped mid-sentence when he saw the threatening look in Lesley's eyes. Then he continued, "Yes!"
"What are you waiting for? Just go and get me a more comprehensive report!"
Lesley was still fuming after Adley left. She threw the documents on the floor, her heart pounding loudly in her chest. She was extremely angry.
She hated Ashley more than ever when she found out that she had a boyfriend in college.
'Who the hell does she think she is? An abandoned orphan, a woman who has been dumped! She doesn't deserve Andrew at all. Why does he love her so much?'
Her eyes were ablaze with fury. Although she was still in a fit of rage, she picked the documents from the floor and began to read again. No one knew what was going on in her mind.
The next morning, Ashley woke up and felt the other side of the bed for Andrew subconsciously, but all she felt was a cold quilt.
He had not come back last night.
Staring at the ceiling, her eyes filled with disappointment—a feeling she wasn't aware she was having at that moment.
'This is the first time he hasn't come home since we got married. Is the company crisis too hectic?'
She rubbed her head and told herself to stop jumping into conclusions. 'Do not let your thoughts wander. Andrew is such a capable guy. He can handle anything, ' she thought to herself.

"I did, but it didn't go through," Ashley answered.
"Don't give up. You should keep calling him until he answers, or you can just go to his office."
Ashley hesitated a little. "Would it be impolite if I went down to his office to look for him? What if he doesn't like it?"
Ellie clenched her teeth. "You are his legal wife! You are allowed to go to his office. He might be happy to see you there."
Ashley had never been so unsure about anything. People said that pregnant women acted silly and irrationally for several years after giving birth. But it seemed that people in love behaved the same way.
"Just go. I will take care of the bakery." Ellie literally pushed her out of the shop without waiting for her reply.
"Ellie..." Ashley murmured in protest. She didn't have the courage to go to Andrew's office. "Can I just give him a call first?" she asked.
Ellie was speechless when she heard Ashley's words. 'When did she become so timid?'
She crossed her arms over her chest, and watched as Ashley took out her phone to call Andrew.
