Chapter 36
Andrew, who had just ended a video call with his mother, noticed that Alyssa hadn’t replied to his messages. So, he sent another one, only to find that he was blocked.
His brow furrowed in frustration, he muttered coldly, “Just got married and now she’s blocking me? She’s really pushing her luck.”
Andrew wanted to call her but realized he didn’t have her private number. He thought about finding her but didn’t know where she lived.
Feeling utterly exasperated, he had never been treated this way before.
Throwing his phone onto the desk, he paced around the office, hands on his hips, grinding his teeth as he muttered, “Alright, alright, very good indeed.”
After a while, an idea seemed to strike him. Picking up the landline, he dialed an internal line. “Simon, come in.”
Hearing Andrew’s tone, Simon shivered. ‘Who has ticked off him this time?‘
Andrew usually managed his emotions well and rarely lost his temper. The last time he blew up was two years ago when Alyssa fooled him. Now, someone else had managed to upset him.
Hanging up, Simon knocked on Andrew’s office door. “Mr. Coleman, what can I do for you?” he asked cautiously, fearing he might be next in line for his boss’s wrath.
Andrew, with one hand on his hip and the other covering his mouth, said through clenched teeth, “Find out Alyssa’s private number and where she’s living now.”
Simon was taken aback. ‘So it was Ms. Dawson again. It seems only Ms. Dawson could ruffle Mr. Coleman’s feathers. Has she fooled him again last night like she did two years ago?‘
Simon was dying to gossip, but seeing Andrew’s expression, he dared not. “Alright, I’ll look into it right away,” he quickly responded.
Simon’s efficiency was commendable; he soon found Alyssa’s private number and address.
Andrew stared at the address Simon handed him for a long while and said, “Ocean Enclave No. 3, isn’t that Sean’s place?”
Simon nodded. “Yes.”
“Then why is ‘she still living there?” Andrew’s frown deepened.
Simon was confused. ‘Has Mr. Coleman forgotten that Ms. Dawson is Sean’s fiancée?‘
Despite Andrew’s anger, Simon felt compelled to remind him, “Ms. Dawson is Mr. Rivera’s fiancée, so it’s not surprising she lives there.”
Andrew’s face darkened.
She has some nerve, getting married to me yet still living with her ex–fiancé. So, why did she marry me? For a job? Then why does she work at Coleman Fashion? Is she spying for Sean?‘ He scoffed. ‘For Sean, she will stop at nothing–from pulling all- nighters for sponsorships to drinking and shamelessly persisting, and now even marrying me..But do I look like a fool to her?‘
Grinding his teeth, Andrew crumpled the paper Simon had given him and tossed it into the trash.
Seeing him grow even angrier, Simon panicked slightly and quickly said, “Mr. Coleman, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”

Before Andrew could respond, Simon had already bolted out.

Andrew paced the office in a rage before retrieving the crumpled paper from the trash and dialing the number written on it.
