Andrew called Ashley several times again, but she still wasn't answering her phone.
With a frown, Andrew went upstairs impatiently.
Alice was about to leave when she heard a commotion in the office. Her colleagues were whispering to each other amorously.
'Why are they so elated? Do we have a celebrity visitor today?'
Alice thought to herself in confusion.
She then grabbed one of her coworkers and asked, "What is going on? Do we have some important visitors?"
"Alice, a very handsome man is here in the office now. I heard he is looking for someone," her coworker answered, blushing and giggling.
"Who is he looking for?" Alice asked with a frown. "And how did he get in just like that? Can anyone enter the building freely now?" she added.
Her coworker didn't reply.
Alice was about to turn around when her eyes caught sight of Andrew. Although many employees were staring at him admiringly, his strong aura stopped them from getting close to him.
Also, his tall figure made him stand out.
Alice didn't have any difficulty recognizing him.
And of course, she knew that
Andrew was Ashley's husband.
'What is he doing here?
Didn't Ashley leave just now?'
Alice thought inwardly. By this time, Andrew had also seen her.
Andrew looked into the direction where Alice was standing.
His dark and cold eyes were so scary, and Alice couldn't see any emotion in there.
Naturally, his stare sent chills down her spine.
Before she knew it, Andrew was already in front of her. "Where is Ashley?"
he immediately asked.
All the employees around stared at them in surprise.
They didn't expect that Alice knew their handsome visitor. Was he her boyfriend?
Alice felt her coworkers' curious gazes, so she said loudly at once, "Do you all want to work overtime today?"
The employees felt that something must be wrong.
Moreover, they didn't want to work overtime.
So, as soon as Alice finished her words, they all dispersed and left.
"Ashley has left just now. I thought she'll go to your office. Haven't you seen her there?" Alice's voice filled with concern all of a sudden.
"She left? What time?"
"About an hour ago. I thought she would see you because she left in a hurry," Alice answered as she checked the time on her watch.
Andrew didn't say anything more. Instead, he turned around and left.
Although he still looked cool, Alice could tell that he was worried.
Watching Andrew's receding back, Alice couldn't help thinking, 'Why is Andrew looking for Ashley? Didn't she go to see him?'
Alice took out her phone and called Ashley.
However, Ashley was not answering her phone.
"Why is she not answering my call?"
she murmured with a frown. After several call attempts, she decided to leave the office, still confused.
All of a sudden, something ominous popped up into her mind. She got flustered, wondering if something unpleasant happened to Ashley.
And the more she thought about it, the more anxious she became.
