You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 6

"Is... President Holland around then?"

At this time, Coralie was not in the mood to argue with the receptionist at all.

"Yes, he's in a meeting."

"Got it. Thank you."

Coralie didn't give up. If Skylar was around and she couldn't get in, then she would wait for him to come

out.

Skylar Holland was her last resort.

When Coralie arrived at the company, it was half past nine in the morning.

She stood outside of the building and waited. Just like that, 10 hours had passed. When she had come

back to her senses, it was already dark outside.

A bolt of lightning struck through the sky.

Thunder came one after another.

Coralie's back was leaned against the outer wall of the building. Her palm was tightly pressed against

the undulating wall, and her forehead was covered with sweat.

The thunder was one of the things that she was most terrified of.

Coralie glanced at her mobile phone. It was already past nine o'clock at night. She was worried that her

mother and brother might need someone to take care of them once they had woken up.

It then started to rain heavily. There was no shelter outside the building. She continued to stand there,

and in less than a minute, she was completely drenched.

She was not sure whether Skylar had left or not, but the only thing she could do was to stand here and

wait for him.

Because her mother and brother needed the money to save their lives.

After more than an hour, the rain became even heavier. Water had piled up on both sides of the street

which had reached the level of Coralie's ankle and the water was beating against her calf.

Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. It looked like the rain would last for a long time.

"......"

In the president's office on the top floor of Holland Group, Jayson Lowell was looking at Skylar Holland,

who was still working at his desk, and kindly reminded him, "President Holland, the rain outside is

getting heavier, there will probably be a flood soon."

Skylar raised his eyebrows and unlocked his mobile phone. There was nothing on the screen, 0 missed

calls and 0 text messages, which made him feel inexplicably annoyed.

He sat for a little while longer and didn't get up until it was 11:50 p.m. and said angrily, "Let's go home."

Jayson followed him and did not dare to say anything. Today, President Holland seemed to be in a bad

mood, and he was surrounded by a cold aura that made people stay away from him.

Skylar's car had been waiting in the underground garage for a long time.

He took the elevator directly to the basement and left in his car.

As soon as the car drove out of the basement, the driver reported, "President Holland, the road ahead

is flooded. We may need to take a detour."

"Just do it."

The rain outside was very heavy. The swooshing sound of the heavy rain could be heard through the

window.

The car went from the back of the company and to the entrance. The drainage system at the main

entrance was relatively better, so the flood wasn't as bad. The car gradually picked up its speed.

Skylar's charming eyes were looking aimlessly through the window. He seemed like he was looking at

the rain but at the same time he looked like he was looking for something else.

Suddenly, his dark and deep eyes saw a petite and trembling figure standing in the rain.

Her white dress was particularly obvious amidst this dark and rainy night.

"Stop the car!"

The driver and Jayson were both shocked, and the car was quickly stopped at the side of the road.

Before the car could completely stopped, Skylar had already got off the car with an umbrella in his

hand.

Coralie squatted on the side of the road looking like a mess, as she watched a man in pair of black

leather shoes appear in her sight. He approached her slowly.

She struggled to stand up, and her eyes which were full of rain, could barely see the outline of Skylar's

face.

"I agree. I agree to marry you. I agree with whatever you want me to do!"

Coralie grabbed the man's arm with her fingers. Although she was so thin, she grabbed onto him firmly.

With those clear eyes, Coralie looked at him as if he was her only hope.

After a long pause, the man finally opened his mouth and said, "Sure, it's you who said that you will

agree to whatever I ask you to do."

"Yes, that's what I said. I'm willing to do anything, as long as you keep your promise."

"That's what you said. Don't regret it!"

Skylar looked at the weak and fragile woman who was standing before him. She looked so weak as if

she would fall onto the ground anytime. His heart ached and it was hard for him to breathe.

Coralie looked at the man who was standing in front of her, with her eyes in a daze. However, she did

not forget to say, "Money, only after I see the money then..."

That was the money to save her family.

Only when she sees it would she feel at ease.

"Take it."

Skylar took out a black card from the pocket of his suit and handed it over to Coralie.

He had prepared the money a long time ago.

Coralie reached out and took the black card from him. She held it tightly with her both hands, as if it

was more important than her own life.

"Thank, thank you..."

"Thank you? It's still too early to thank me now. Since you have received the money, it's time to get

down to business!"

Skylar picked Coralie up and stuffed her into his car without any mercy.

"Is President Holland doing a good deed?"

Jayson was stunned.

When did our boss become so kind and generous?

"To the hotel." This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.

Skylar ordered.

Coralie's entire body was soaked in rain. As soon as she got into the car, the leather seat became wet

immediately.

Her long hair was stuck to her pale cheeks. She was getting little unconscious, but she didn't forget to

put the bank card into her bag.

Skylar noticed everything, and his heart felt uneasy. "Coralie, you are so pathetic! Even when you are

in this state, you only care about the money!"

He grabbed her tightly and soon, there were several hand prints imprinted on her fair arm.

Coralie gritted her teeth, not allowing herself to make any sound.

She stood there for the entire day, and under the rain for a few hours. If she hadn't been thinking about

the look of her mother and Wayne who were in the ward this morning, she would not have been able to

hold on for so long.

At this time, she did not dare to relax for even a moment while sitting beside Skylar.

It was very warm in the car. Coralie sat there and leaned her head against the window, trying hard not

to fall asleep.

However, her body which had been in the rain for a few hours, couldn't help but to shiver uncontrollably.

Her body was extremely cold.

Skylar leaned forward and glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.

The petite woman had curled up her body at the corner of the car. Because of the rain, her plain skirt

was tightly wrapped around her body where her white lace bra could clearly be seen.

In a V-shaped collar, her sexy collarbone moved along with her breathing.

Although he had just glanced at it inadvertently, Skylar felt that his pants had tightened. His Adam's

apple couldn't help but to roll up and down, and his body was also a little agitated.

The car stopped at the entrace of the hotel.

"President Holland, do you need me to go with you?"

Jayson asked.

"No."

Skylar got out of the car and Coralie followed him while she struggled to support herself.

She knew that it was impossible for anyone to give her money without anything in return, even if that

person was Skylar.

"President Holland, we will wait for you downstairs."

"You don't need to wait for me."

Jayson was stunned. It seemed that the president was really going to get lucky tonight?

Skylar was walking in front when a man's concerned voice came from behind. "Madam, are you all

right?"

As he turned his head, he saw a hotel staff who was standing next to Coralie. The staff was afraid that

she might faint so he politely held her arm.

As he saw the man touching her, Skylar became agitated. He stepped forward, held Coralie in his

arms, and said coldly to the staff, "She's fine."
