You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 34

Coralie Chariott looked up at the man in front of her. There was no light in the car, so she could not see

Skylar Holland's expression clearly.

"Was he looking down at me? Or is he playing with me?" Coralie thought.

"I refuse. What benefit do I get if I were to beg you?" she said.

Coralie almost blurted out the answer she had in mind, but her rationality prevented her from saying it

out.

"Benefit?" Skylar replied.

Skylar did not expect Coralie to say that at all.

"Even without her, there will be others."

She was not trying to say that all men think with their p*nis, but Coralie was self-aware. She was so

bad in bed, and she did not know how to please men, how could she compare with the other women?

"How could it be possible for me to bewitch Skylar, who has had plenty of sexual experience?" she

wondered.

Skylar pinched Coralie's chin slightly and spat out a few words asking, "Coralie Chariott, what kind of

person am I in your eyes?"

"Skylar Holland, who am I to you?"

Coralie did not even think about it and answered back with the same question.

There was a dead silence in the car.

However, Coralie already had an answer, she just did not say it.

Skylar held a special place in her heart, a precious memory from her college days. She could only

admire him from a distance and never get close.

She knew that she could not be tempted. Otherwise, with this man's social status, the harm that was

brought on to her by his huge family would be a thousand times greater than she had experienced

before.

"Skylar Holland, my wish is to complete the contract, and then we live our own lives. We will go on our

separate ways." Coralie contended.

"Live our own lives? Go on our separate ways?"

Hearing this, Skylar sneered unconsciously. "This woman, who has disrupted my world ever since her

first appearance, is telling me that we would live our own lives in the future, and we would go on our

separate ways?" he thought.

"Yes, your world is out of my league," Coralie said.

"I allow you to join the league," Skylar replied.

"But I am not able to be in your league." she then uttered.

There was a world of difference between them.

Under the streetlights, Skylar saw the determination in Coralie's eyes.

He had always known that Coralie looked weak on the outside, but she was actually firm and stubborn.

He lowered his hands, turned on the car engine, and put his hands on the steering wheel.

They did not say a word for the rest of the journey.

...

On Monday, Coralie went to work as usual. As soon as she entered the office, she saw her colleagues

gathering together. They seem to be discussing something.

She went in and did not inquire about it. She just sat on her desk.

"Coralie, the company is going to be purchased!"

Seeing that she was so calm, they kindly reminded her.

"Huh?" Coralie uttered.

Originally, Coralie thought that her colleagues were gossiping about private matters. That was a

common scene in her previous company, so she did not care about it.

But she did not expect that it was such a huge deal!

"I just received the news in the morning. I don't know what happened, but it was suddenly bought over."

one colleague said.

"Yeah, everything looks normal in the company." replied another colleague.

"But the buyer was Skyton Corporation, which belonged to Holland Group. It would be easy for them to

buy us over." the first colleague added.

The colleagues were busy talking about it.

Coralie noticed an important clue from the conversation, which was Skyton Corporation.

"Skyton Corporation?" Coralie muttered.

Skyton Corporation was a large-scale company in the Holland group, and the President was none other

than Skylar Holland.

Hearing this news, a thought flashed through Coralie's mind, "Does Skylar want to directly control her

source of income?"

"Hey, I wonder if there were handsome guys in Skyton Corporation." her colleagues continued

gossiping.

"Are you stupid? The President of Skyton Corporation is a handsome guy. He's still single. A perfect

boyfriend material," one colleague replied.

"Ah? Really?" another colleague uttered.

"That's right. I think his name is Holland. There was a time when his name was all over social media."

the colleague confirmed.

He is single, and he is the perfect boyfriend material. Listening to this, Coralie could only smile bitterly.

None of these colleagues could ever imagine that Coralie, who quietly sat beside them, was the actual

wife of Skylar Holland, the President of Skyton Corporation.

Coralie left the office and went to the pantry with a glass.

She happened to run into Corrine Quincy who was making coffee in the pantry. When Corrine saw her

coming in, she smiled proudly and said, "I guess you've heard the news that Skylar bought over our

company."

"Yes," Coralie replied.

When Coralie came in, the water dispenser was not turned on, so she had to stand by and wait for the

water to boil.

Corrine also seized the opportunity and began irritating Coralie, "You probably didn't know that back

when Skylar wanted to see me every day, he proposed to transfer me to their company several times. I

refused, but I didn't expect him to be so bold."

Forest Paper Company was a small company. In recent years, due to the increase in environmental

awareness, the chemical enterprise had been impacted in many ways. Forest Paper Company always

wanted to seek backing from a big enterprise.

After all, it was good to have a strong backing.

"Well, that's not bad," Coralie replied.

Corrine purposely mentioned that to irritate Coralie so that she could see jealousy and anger on her

face.

But Coralie was so calm because she knew Skylar well enough, which made Corrine feel like she has

wasted her effort, she felt very frustrated.

"By the way, there's a banquet on Friday night. Have you heard? Some employees from Skyton

Corporation and all of us were going to attend. You have to come." Corrine added.

Since she failed to irritate Coralie earlier, she wanted to prove to her during the banquet, that Skylar

actually loved her. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Coralie was like a thorn in Corrine's flesh. Even if she did not do anything, she would always be

annoying Corrine.

The news that Forest Paper Company was acquired by Skyton Corporation soon spread through the

media. People in the company were panicking. Everyone was worried that they would be laid off.

On Friday, in order to leave a good impression on Skylar Holland, especially hearing that he was a

perfect boyfriend material, the female employees all dressed up extravagantly.

Coralie was the only one who dressed as usual, with only a thin layer of makeup.

When she got off work, everyone else went to the hotel where the banquet was held, but she went to

the bus station instead.

As soon as Rainie Smithson came out, she saw that Coralie did not follow the crowd. She came to give

her a friendly reminder, "Coralie, you are going the wrong way. It's over there."

"I have something to do today, so I won't be going."

Coralie refused.

"Ah? It is a great opportunity! Since we've been acquired by Skyton Corporation, we should take this

chance to show off ourselves. Otherwise, we might get laid off."

Rainie thoughts were the same as most of her colleagues.

Coralie was the only one who had nothing to fear.

"I really have something to do. No one will notice that I am not there anyway. Enjoy the banquet!"

In fact, she did not want to be there to see Skylar and Corrine showing off their love and affection.

"Okay then, I'll be going," Rainie replied.

Rainie did not force her and ran towards the hotel.

Coralie took a bus home. Five minutes after entering her house, her phone rang. It was a call from

Bernard Miles, her direct boss.

"Hello, Director Miles." she greeted.

"Coralie Chariott! What are you doing? Why didn't you come to the party?"

As soon as the phone was connected, Bernard Miles scolded her.
