"I don't understand what you're talking about."
One of Coralie's principles was to not accuse others without proof. At this moment, she was not sure
whether the software modification issue had anything to do with Joanna Thomas. She didn't want to
jump to any conclusions.
However, in these two days, with Joanna's actions, the two of them weren't close enough to be having
a friendly chat here.
"Maybe you don't know this, but my sister is Lorraine, the chief secretary for President Holland.
Yesterday morning, she saw you coming out of President Holland's office with wet hair. Tsk tsk tsk."
Joanna went up and touched Coralie's hair. "Today, Director West stood up for you. I can't understand
what men find attractive about you?"
It was only then that Coralie realized that Joanna was suspicious of her because of this.
However, she did not expect to be seen when she came out of Skylar's office that day.
Looking at Coralie's unnatural expression, Joanna said with a smile, "Are you admitting this so quickly?
If you said earlier that you served two bosses, how would we dare to offend you, right?"
She looked at Coralie from head to toe. To be honest, she was not convinced.
Coralie was not very good at makeup. After coming to Skyton Corporation, she only wore a few basic
looks every day, without even putting on any eye liner. Her made up face looked no different from her
natural face.
Joanna felt that Coralie was not good-looking, but her figure was not bad.
Judging by her performance on the first day, her capabilities at work seemed average.
"First of all, this was my first time meeting Director West. I found out that he was Skyton Corporation's
Chief Financial Officer when I asked about him just now. Secondly, the morning before yesterday, I Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
pressed the button to the wrong floor because I went into the wrong elevator,"
Coralie explained as she fixed the coffee.
She was sure that she did not see anyone when she came out of Skylar's office that day, but when she
entered the elevator, she heard the sound of the elevator next to her.
After all, if people like Joanna knew of her relationship with Skylar, there would be no good outcomes.
"Who would believe that? Going into the wrong elevator? To the top floor?"
Joanna did not believe it.
"Believe it or not, your choice."
Coralie didn't like her very much. She walked around her with the coffee and went into the office.
Joanna stood behind her with a slightly relieved expression. She wanted to confirm the relationship
between Coralie, Skylar, and Dominic.
She thought that Coralie would admit it, if she had a relationship with either Skylar or Dominic.
Since Coralie denied it, she certainly didn't know them.
......
When Coralie was about to get off work, she received a message from Josephine.
"Coralie, are you free today? I'll give the money back to you."
Seeing the message, Coralie was a little surprised. She quickly replied, "Actually, you don't have to
return it in such a hurry."
Josephine said, "I've always remembered the people who lent me money. Now I have some extra
money, just let me return it to you."
Therefore, Coralie did not refuse her.
After work, Coralie told Skylar that she was going to meet Josephine in the nearby restaurant.
Josephine came out with her baby today. She was dressed strangely today. She wore a hoodie and put
on a hat. Her hair was also loose, and only a small part of her face was exposed.
"This is 2,000 dollars in cash. I have no bank account now, so I have to pay by cash. Could you check
and see if the amount is right?"
Josephine handed a stack of 100 dollar bills to Coralie. She didn't dare to raise her head during the
whole process.
"What's wrong with you?"
Coralie took the money, but she didn't count it. Instead, she looked at Josephine, who had been
shrinking her head all this time, and she felt a little confused.
"Nothing. If the amount is right, then I'll be leaving."
As Josephine said this, she was about to push the stroller away, but Coralie pulled her back.
Just as Josephine got up, Coralie saw her bruises at the corner of her eyes. Obviously, Andrew Jordan
had hit her again!
"Andrew hit you, right? Where did you get the money?"
Normally, if she wanted to return the money, she could have easily transferred it online. There was no
need to meet in person.
"This is from my salary. On that day, Andrew took away my bank card. I had no choice but to ask the
company to give me the salary directly in cash."
Josephine looked down at her son and whispered this to Coralie.
"Are you sure you don't have any other plans?"
Coralie was really angry. She thought of Josephine from the past, and then she looked at her now.
She wanted to persuade Josephine to get a divorce, but when the words came to her mouth, she
changed her mind
"I know what you want to say. In fact, I've thought about it, but every time I see my son, I don't want him
to have no father. Besides, all my family members have persuaded me, saying that Andrew is not bad.
He only goes crazy when he's drunk."
Josephine looked at her son who was sleeping soundly in the stroller. She touched his chubby little
face with a smile on her face.
"Then, why don't you ask him to write a guarantee or something? For example, he won't drink
anymore."
"Well, we've talked about this. He said that he will, but he forgets as soon as he gets busy."
Listening to Josephine's explanation,
Coralie was angry on her behalf, and sad for her situation.
"Josephine, actually, I don't know how to advise you. Yes, I married a man with good finances, but I use
my own money. If you have financial difficulties, I can help you out as much as I can. In regards to
other matters, it's all up to you."
Seeing Coralie's attitude, Josephine suddenly took hold of Coralie's hand and cried, "I'm sorry, Coralie.
In fact, I really wanted to get a divorce, but I just couldn't do it. Andrew and I have been in love for more
than a decade. I initially planned not to contact you after returning this money to you."
"Why do you plan not to contact me?"
Coralie didn't know what was going on.
"I'm sorry about what happened last time. I heard that Howard went to your house to make trouble after
Andrew told him about the matter. Now that Andrew has no money, he kept mentioning you. I'm worried
that he will do something stupid." Josephine sobbed. She was really scared. "I didn't expect Andrew to
become like this."
As a matter of fact, she was in the same situation as Josephine.
Previously, Coralie didn't expect Howard Schultz to be like this.
At that time, Howard, who was so considerate to her, had become so disgusting.
"Josephine, it's your own business. It doesn't matter what others say. You are the one who makes the
final decision."
Coralie shook Josephine's hand, comforted her for a bit, and then left.
......
After returning home, Coralie went upstairs to the study and told Skylar that she was back.
He just nodded and continued to work.
Coralie stood behind him and looked at him as he concentrated on his work. She asked in a low voice,
"Skylar, will men change after they get married?"
If they all changed, what would Skylar look like?
