Chapter 101
Since they were sitting at the same table, their colleagues introduced them to each other.
Coralie found out that the man that Alison was with was Harrison Davis. He was one of the managers
in the sales department. His sales performance was good in the company and he received quite a lot of
bonuses every year.
"Mr. Davis, what are you going to buy for your wife using this year-end-bonus?" A colleague, who was
sitting there, asked, "Every year, you buy something nice for her. Why don't you share your plans with
us?"
Coralie didn't say a word. She didn't know what kind of impression the people in the company had of
Harrison.
Listening to his colleague's question, it was likely that he gave people the impression of being a good
husband.
"I'm not going to give her a gift this year," Harrison said with a smile.
Upon hearing his answer, his colleagues burst into an uproar. "Not going to give her a gift? Why?"
"My wife has been thinking of going to the Maldives. I was busy with work before, so I plan to take her
there this year." Harrison paused and said, "She also worked hard for our family. I checked it online, the
best time to visit the Maldives is from November till February. I will take her there on February 14th."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the colleagues on the table exclaimed, "Wow!"
Everyone except for Coralie and Felicia displayed envious and jealous expressions.
"Your wife is fortunate to have married you, Mr. Davis. You are such a good man!"
"Yes! Please, God, give me a man like Mr. Davis!"
"Mr. Davis, why don't you repeat what you said just now? I'll record it for my husband and let him learn
from you."
All the female colleagues sitting at their table were envious when they heard Harrison's words just now.
Only Coralie and Felicia chuckled.
Coralie felt an inexplicable sense of disgust after hearing his words, as if she had eaten something
awful.
Just now, he had accompanied Alison to pick out jewelry and performed such lewd acts with her in the
nursing room. Now, he was the perfect man?
Harrison enjoyed the praises and the attention of the people around him. However, when he turned
around, he noticed Coralie and Felicia sitting next to him. Both of them were expressionless.
"This is..."
Harrison pointed at Coralie and asked.
In fact, none of them recognized Coralie because she was new to the company.
"Her name is Coralie Chariott, a new member of our finance department."
Felicia helped to introduce her.
"Oh, nice to meet you."
Harrison stood up, grabbed his tie with one hand, and reached out with the other hand to shake
Coralie's hand.
"Hello."
Coralie reached out and shook hands with him, but this time, when she shook his hands...
She clearly felt that he scratched her palm with his index finger.
Coralie knew a little about this. She had heard from Xenia, that a man wanted s*x if he scratched a
woman's palm with his finger when shaking hands.
Looking at him, with his image of a good husband, and thinking about what had happened between him
and Alison, was he thinking...
Coralie felt that she couldn't stay for another minute at this banquet.
At this moment, a tall figure came over to their table, pointed to the handbag next to Coralie and asked,
"Is there anyone sitting here? Can I sit here?"
"Boss, President Holland!"
Before Coralie had raised her head, the colleague, who had put the bag next to her, quickly took away
her handbag. Then, she got up quickly and pulled away the empty chair next to her, making a gesture
of invitation.
"Thank you,"
Skylar said to his colleague very politely.
"You're welcome!"
The colleague was absolutely excited when Skylar said this. After all, as the boss of the company,
Skylar was usually distant and aloof, and it was even more difficult to meet him. However, it was an
honor that he was sitting next to her here.
"What are you talking about? I saw you talking cheerfully, so I came over."
Skylar sat next to Coralie, but he found a very reasonable excuse to make it seem like he didn't come
here on purpose, but by chance.
In fact, most of the people didn't know that Skylar and Coralie knew each other, except for the people Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
who worked at the finance department.
Coralie and Felicia were the only people who worked in the finance department at this table.
"President Holland, here's the thing." One of the colleagues immediately explained to Skylar, "In the
past, Mr. Davis would give his wife a very expensive gift every year after he gets the year-end bonus.
We just asked him what he wanted to give her this year. Unexpectedly, he said that he would not give
her anything this year."
"Not giving anything?"
Skylar knew that the colleague was trying to keep him guessing, but he played along.
"Yes, we were also very surprised at first, but Mr. Davis said that his wife wanted to go to the Maldives
a few years earlier. Although he didn't send her any gifts this year, he wants to bring his wife there.
Don't you think that is very romantic?"
When the colleagues talked about this, they all showed expressions of envy and jealousy. However,
Skylar turned his head slightly and looked at Coralie beside him, who was expressionless and even
somewhat disgusted.
"The Maldives? Is that a dream destination for all women?"
Skylar asked curiously.
"Of course, the Maldives is the best place for a honeymoon. It's a pity that my husband didn't take me
there when we got married."
There was a colleague sitting beside them, looking regretful.
Coralie crossed her fingers on the table. In front of Skylar, she couldn't act natural, no matter how hard
she tried.
At this moment, Skylar suddenly turned to Coralie and asked, "You didn't say anything just now. Do you
like the Maldives?"
This question scared Coralie.
In the eyes of outsiders, this seemed to be only the concern of a leader for his subordinates. He was
trying to communicate with his colleagues who were neglected. However, Coralie did not feel this way.
When he asked her this, her face turned red in an instant. She looked at Skylar, and she was at a loss.
She nodded, and then she shook her head.
Harrison didn't know that Coralie and Skylar were acquainted with each other, so he said, "President
Holland, look at Coralie. You scared her so much that she didn't dare to say anything."
Another female colleague next to him also said, "Yes, President Holland is very charming. If President
Holland asks me this question, I will certainly be at a loss and blush uncontrollably."
Only Felicia, who was sitting beside them, chuckled.
In her opinion, Skylar was not asking this in a casual manner, but he was sincere.
Seeing that the timing was right, Harrison asked, "Coralie, are you married? Have you been to the
Maldives?"
"I'm married... I haven't been there..."
Coralie did not want to ignore Harrison in front of so many people.
"Well." Harrison seemed to be very satisfied with her answer, but he said with a regretful expression,
"Your husband was lucky to be married to such a beautiful wife. It's a shame that he did not treat you
better. He doesn't know how lucky he is, and he should learn to cherish you more."
When he spoke, he was gazing at Coralie, and he was obviously flirting with her.
Skylar noticed what was going on, and his expression became cold.
