You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 52

She curled up and lied down, listening to the sound of splashing water from the bathroom. This time,

she did not dare to fall asleep.

When Skylar Holland came out, Coralie Chariott quickly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep,

but she opened her ears to listen carefully to his movements.

She was lying at the corner of the two-meter-wide bed. She didn't even take up 50 centimetres by

herself.

Coralie pretended to breath intermittently and she tried to snore. However, she could clearly feel that

Skylar had come out of the bathroom. He went straight to her side and looked at her.

The steam from his body was spreading out around him. Coralie could even smell the scent of the

shower gel on Skylar.

It meant that he was really close to her. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Coralie did not dare to move. She pretended to fall asleep until... a drop of cold water dripped down

from above and splashed on her face.

Before Coralie could decide whether she should open her eyes, a warm kiss fell on her lips.

After a long time, they separated.

Then, a long sigh was heard.

......

The next morning, Coralie woke up very early. She saw that Skylar was still sleeping. In order to avoid

any embarrassment, she prepared breakfast quickly. She didn't have time to eat at home, so she went

to work taking a sandwich.

After Skylar came down, he saw the sandwich, milk, and saw a post-it note beside them.

On the note, it was written, "Remember to heat up the milk a little more."

Seeing this, Skylar's heart sank. He picked up the milk and put it into the microwave.

After breakfast, Jayson Lowell came to pick him up. When they arrived at the company, Jayson

pressed the button of the second floor on the elevator as usual.

The second floor was the company's canteen. Every day, Skylar would go to the canteen to have

breakfast before he went to work, but today, Skylar pressed the button to his office floor.

"President Holland, don't you want to eat?" Jayson was surprised. "It's not good for your stomach if you

don't eat."

Jayson had been with Skylar for many years. In the early days of Skyton Corporation's establishment,

Skylar often worked overtime alone and forgot to eat or sleep, and has stomach problems all year

round.

"I've eaten already."

Skylar stood in the middle of the elevator. Although there was no change in his expression, there was a

hint of warmth in his eyes.

"President Holland,you finally hired a housekeeper? Thank goodness, looks like there is hope for your

old habit to be cured."

Jayson didn't know that there was another woman in Skylar's house.

He assumed that Valerie Rae would be Mrs Holland, even though she was abroad.

......

Coralie got off work. As she thought of the fact that she would be embarrassed seeing Skylar when she

went home today, she received a text message from Xenia Lowell.

"Coralie, I received my pay today. I'll treat you to dinner! See you at the usual place!"

Coralie replied without thinking, "OK!"

She sent a message to Skylar casually, indicating that she would not be back for dinner.

She thought that Skylar would definitely work overtime, so it didn't matter if she didn't go back for

dinner.

After getting off work, Coralie took the subway and rushed to the hangout place where Xenia and

herself usually went—the hot pot restaurant.

"Coralie, which company do you work for? I've decided to look for a job. After you left our company, I've

been listening to those women gossiping every day. I'm going crazy because of that."

As soon as Coralie sat down, Xenia started complaining immediately.

The previous company she was at was quite small, and it didn't require any top talents to run its

business. Naturally, it would hire people who didn't request for a high salary.

After Coralie left, Xenia was basically the only young woman left. She was so bored that she thought of

changing her job.

"I'm working at Forest Paper Company."

"Forest Paper, Forest Paper, it sounds familiar." Xenia was desperately searching for the information on

this company in her head. Finally, she clapped her head and said, "Is it the chemicals manufacturing

company that was acquired by Skyton Corporation a few days ago?"

"Yes. Have you heard of them before?"

Coralie didn't expect Xenia to know about this company.

"Of course I know! Let me tell you something. The boss of Skyton Corporation is a man named Skylar.

He is my high school classmate's fiancee. In high school, he was two years senior. They were always

together and they looked like a great match. The entire grade was jealous of them. "

When Xenia talked about this, she was very excited.

As someone who was born with a silver spoon, it was not surprising that Xenia was Valerie's

classmate.

However, when Coralie heard this, she could only think of one person, "Is your classmate Valerie?"

"Yes. How did you know? Do all the subsidiary companies under Skyton Corporation know this?"

Xenia did not think much about this, and she would not have guessed that Coralie and Skylar were now

a couple.

"Yes, I know about this."Coralie answered.

Coralie lowered her head and drank the plum juice. For a moment, she didn't know what to say.

"I heard from my classmates that the two of them had planned to get married after graduating from

college. However, for some unknown reasons, Valerie suddenly went abroad when she was in her

second year. It was rumored that she had done something wrong. In order to protect her, the family

sent her abroad."

Xenia was rattling on.

"Then... how was her relationship with Skylar?"

Coralie listened to Xenia's words, but she still wanted to confirm this, so she could lose hope and give

up.

"Valerie likes Skylar very much, and vice versa. When we were in our second year of high school,

Skylar was in college. Valerie always talked about Skylar. Sometimes, she could be happy for the rest

of the day if Skylar told her that he would pick her up from school."

Xenia recalled the events of the past as she spoke.

After listening to this, Coralie was sure that they were two people who loved each other.

"Yes, they're from the same family background, and they're childhood sweethearts. They're the best

match."Xenia said.

Coralie seemed supportive of this, but in her heart, she felt very bitter.

Coralie suffered for a long time after what Lillian Ford had said to her in college. At that time, she even

hoped that she could become a daughter of a rich family, so that she could be Skylar's equal.

However, she had to remind herself that Skylar had helped to pay for her mother and brother's medical

expenses, which had helped her a lot. She could not ask for more money. She should just focus on

fulfilling her duties.

"They are the best. People like me, who don't even have childhood sweethearts, will be miserable. I

might one day be sent by my parents to marry some unknown rich kid."

Xenia ate some meat and let out a long sigh.

"Don't make it sound like an arranged marriage from ancient times. He might turn out to be a nice

person."

Coralie tried not to show her sadness as much as possible. She lowered her head and said this in the

most lively tone she could.

"No one is that lucky in this world. Even if he is nice, it will be useless if i don't like him!" Xenia pouted

and felt depressed.

"Then, you can still try."Coralie said.

"You can't just try!" As Xenia said this, she thought of something important. "By the way, Valerie is in

our alumni chat group. Her display picture is a portrait photo! Do you want to see it?"
