You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 121

Although Coralie refused him repeatedly, Skylar still insisted on the pregnancy meals in the company's

canteen. Pregnant employees could register for it and were given meals every day.

Coralie was one of them.

She was a little embarrassed, but she couldn't stop Skylar when he set his eyes on doing something.

In the afternoon of the first day, Felicia ordered her food and sat in their usual spot. When she saw

Coralie coming with a particularly assorted menu on her tray, she couldn't help asking, "Where did you

order this? Why didn't I see these dishes?"

Coralie was a little embarrassed and whispered, "This is a pregnancy meal."

"A pregnancy meal? Why didn't I know about such a service from our company before? Coralie, are

you pregnant?"

Felicia was stunned that she threw a series of questions to her.

Although she just entered the company a while ago, it was the first time that Felicia heard about the

company providing a pregnancy meal.

"Yes... I just found out yesterday."

Coralie nodded.

Felicia was not an idiot. She replied, "You just found out that you are pregnant yesterday, and the

canteen started preparing special meals for pregnant women today. I'm surprised by how much

President Holland pampers his wife."

As she spoke, her expression was full of envy and admiration.

Valerie, who was sitting behind them, naturally was cognizant about the company's pregnancy meal.

Seeing Felicia and Coralie talking so happily and compounded by the envious expression on Felicia's

face, she could guess that Skylar must have added this meal specifically for Coralie.

The plan was so swiftly executed that it went beyond Valerie's expectation.

Although Valerie appeared to be unfazed, her hand betrayed her as she gripped on the spoon so tightly

that even her blood vessels bulged.

The one sitting next to Valerie was Lorraine, and she did not know that Coralie was pregnant. She

asked curiously, "Why did the canteen provide pregnancy meal out of a sudden? I don't see many

pregnant employees in the company."

Valerie said with a very understanding expression, "That day, Skye told me that Miss Chariott was

pregnant, so I proposed that pregnant women need special care and suggested adding the pregnancy

meal."

Lorraine, who was sitting next to her, was so stunned that her chin almost dropped. "Is Coralie

pregnant?"

"Yes, I just found out. I proposed the idea to him once I found out."

Listening to Valerie's words, Lorraine felt bad for her.

"You're so foolish. Everyone knows that you and President Holland are childhood sweethearts! Who is

this Coralie? Why are you still taking her side? She snatched your boyfriend away!"

Lorraine was a strong-minded and independent woman. Compared to Coralie, she preferred women

like Valerie, who was capable and highly educated.

Moreover, in her opinion, Valerie and Skylar were supposed to be a couple. It was because Valerie

stayed abroad that Coralie slipped into their relationship and took advantage of Skylar.

To put it simply, Lorraine thought that it was Skylar who had cheated on Valerie.

Listening to Lorraine's words, Valerie knew that she had achieved her goal. She lowered her head with

sadness welling in her eyes, but she pretended to force a smile and assuaged Lorraine, "As long as

Skye is happy, I am content."

At this moment, Valerie looked like a damsel in distress. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Hearing this, Lorraine was even furious. "How could this be? You went abroad to study, to seek higher

education, and gain more experience. This was supposed to be a good thing. I didn't expect you to be

taken advantage of by such a woman."

Valerie acted as if she had surrendered herself to whatever that came. She took Lorraine's hand and

said, "Lorraine, thank you. I know that you're worried about me, but don't go against President Holland

because of me. President Holland dotes on Miss Chariott very much."

In fact, she was afraid that Lorraine would tell Skylar how Valerie claimed to be the one who proposed

the addition of the pregnancy meal.

If she told Skylar, her lie would have seen the light of the day.

In fact, Lorraine was not stupid. Although she liked Valerie and despised Coralie, she would not offend

Skylar and risk losing her job for these people who had nothing to do with her.

After all, Lorraine had only known Valerie for a few days. They were not particularly close.

......

When Valerie was at work in the afternoon, she was not particularly occupied with work. She picked up

her mobile phone and left a message to Lillian through WhatsApp, "Auntie, when are you free? I

bought you a gift while I was abroad. I want to send it to you."

Every time Valerie thought of buying gifts from abroad, the first person that popped into her mind was

Lillian.

However, it was not because she was close to Lillian, but merely because Lillian loved to receive gifts.

Moreover, it was easy to please Lillian. The gift didn't matter. As long as it was expensive and limited

edition, she would be fond of it.

However, what Lillian was unaware of was how much Valerie actually despised her from the bottom of

her heart. Lillian came from an ordinary family and with many siblings at home. Her parents were just

ordinary blue-collar workers.

If it weren't for the fact that Lillian was Skylar's mother, Valerie wouldn't even look her in the eye. She

wouldn't even give Lillian the time of day even if Lillian was a noble wealthy lady.

As soon as the message was sent, she received Lillian's reply. "Valerie, I'm free at any time. How about

tonight? I haven't seen you since you came back. Come to my house."

Valerie, of course, knew that Lillian had all the free time in the world. Lillian had nothing much to do.

Asking this question was just a formality.

Valerie had already put all the gifts in the car beforehand. When she got off work in the evening, she

headed directly to Lillian's house.

Lillian lived in an old house of the Hollands'. The house was outrageously spacious and there were at

least a dozen servants. Since Skylar's father was not at home most of the time, she lived by herself.

Valerie went to the door and knocked on it. As soon as Lillian came out, she said politely, "Hello,

Auntie."

"Hello, dear."

Lillian let Valerie into the house, but her eyes were latched onto the parcel in Valerie's hand. She

couldn't wait to see what was inside.

Valerie could also grasp what was on her mind. As soon as she entered the door and slipped into the

indoor shoes, she quickly put around five bags on the tea table. She then began to showcase them one

by one.

"Auntie, this is the new product from Chanel's spring collection. It's a limited edition. I bought it for you

as soon as it was released."

Valerie took out a dress and presented it to Lillian.

When Lillian heard that it was limited edition, she felt that it looked better the more she scanned her

eyes through at it.

Valerie took out a handbag from another bag, it was wrapped in a dust bag. After she removed it from

the bag, she handed it to Lillian. "Auntie, this is Balenciaga's latest snakeskin bag. This model is also a

limited edition. What do you think about it? As soon as I laid my eyes on it, I thought it will make you

look younger if you carried it."

It was a small, red-colored snakeskin bag. As soon as Lillian held it in her hand, Valerie realized that it

didn't compliment nor suit Lillian at all.

But what did it matter, as long as Lillian liked it.

She showed Lillian all of the gifts that she had brought with her. Lillian was utterly delighted.

In order to "reward" Valerie for her gifts and effort, Lillian pulled Valerie to her side and said

mysteriously, "Valerie, I found out something that day. Skylar married Coralie just to bring good luck to

Grandma. They were bound by an agreement and will divorce each other in a year."
