You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 118

"It's alright to look for a boyfriend, but you must think clearly before jumping into marriage!"

Coralie was giving advice to Felicia as someone who had weathered through such hardship in

marriage.

If Coralie could choose again, she might not have dived into a marriage at such a young age.

Fortunately, she had no child with Howard. Otherwise, the child would be the one suffering.

All mothers wished for their child to grow up in a healthy and happy family.

......

Coralie wanted to register for the examination, so she brought home the textbooks to study in the living

room at night.

After all, if she gained a raise of 800 dollars each month, it would amount to almost ten thousand

dollars a year!

Although she was with Skylar, she tried her best to spend her own money. In fact, the only time she

accepted the money from him was when they first started. She even used her own money for the

groceries. After all, Skylar had given her more than enough at the beginning.

The next day, when Coralie returned home, she saw several workers standing in front of the door.

They came down from the study on the second floor.

"Did you buy a new set of furniture?"

Coralie put down the bag and coat in her hand.

"I saw you studying in the living room yesterday, so I added a desk for you in the study."This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

Skylar embraced Coralie from behind after he got out from the car.

When he came downstairs the previous day, he saw Coralie curled up on the sofa and looking so pitiful

studying on her own. He immediately ordered a desk for her to be placed in the study.

"For me?"

"Yes, let's go up and take a look."

Skylar's study was substantially spacious. Aside from the big window, it was completely surrounded by

bookshelves. There was only one desk in the middle before, and now the addition of a new desk

served somehow as an accompaniment. The color was slightly lighter than that of Skylar's, but the

style was the same. There was even a computer of the similar model placed on the table.

"Thank you."

Coralie did not expect for Skylar to pay so much attention to this matter.

Later that night...

After brewing a cup of hot tea for Skylar, Coralie went into the study with a glass of water for herself.

This was the first time for her to use the study.

She sat facing Skylar, and it was the first time that she saw Skylar working.

Although her textbooks were in front of her, but in such a quiet study, Coralie's heart was wagging up a

storm.

She held the pen in her hand and peered at Skylar from time to time.

He seemed to be reading his e-mail as he fixed his handsome eyes on the screen. Sometimes he

seemed to be lost in thought, and sometimes he typed on the keyboard with his fingers, making a crisp

clicking sound.

He was serious and focused.

Coralie kept staring at him for almost two hours.

Skylar finally turned his face and propped his cheek on his hand. He asked her, "Are you planning to

look at me for the whole night?"

"Huh?" Surprised by the intrusion, Coralie flipped swiftly through the book in front of her and replied

with a blushed face, "No, I was just taking a break."

She felt guilty when she looked at the textbook she had neglected the whole time.

Although Skylar would not be aware of the fact that she hadn't finished a page at all...

"Huh."

He looked at Coralie who was knocked to her wits' end, and the cold and hard lines on his face finally

eased a little.

This was probably their happiest moment together throughout this year.

......

As time went by.

It was already April. As usual, Coralie was still going to work in Skylar's car and got off a few hundred

meters away from the company.

It was early spring, and the weather was getting warmer. She changed her winter coat into a casual

trench coat.

She didn't manage to eat much at the breakfast, so her stomach grumbled a little when she had just

arrived at the company. Coralie headed to the pantry and took small packet of snacks.

However, the two small packet of snacks didn't seem to be of much use.

When it was lunch time, Coralie was starving.

"Coralie, you didn't like snacks before. I've seen you eating more snacks recently."

Felicia and Coralie took the elevator to the canteen for lunch. Recently, Coralie seemed to like those

light snacks very much. Apart from eating them in the pantry, she also bought some at the cafeteria.

"My appetite isn't that good recently."

Coralie frowned.

In fact, she also felt that she was a little unusual recently. She often felt hungry but her appetite didn't

catch up.

"Maybe you should get some spicy food to stimulate your appetite."

Felicia liked spicy food. She felt that spicy food was a good appetizer.

Coralie and Felicia ordered their lunch respectively and found a corner to sit down.

As usual, Coralie did not order too much, mainly because she was afraid of wasting the food.

"Miss Chariott, why do you eat so little?"

As soon as they began to eat, a slender figure found herself a spot next to Coralie and asked with

concern.

Coralie tilted her head. When she saw the woman sitting next to her, her eyes darkened, but she still

responded, "Miss Rae, I see you've started working here."

Valerie put her plate aside and replied, "Well, it's my first day today. I wanted to familiarize myself with

the environment first. I don't know anyone yet, so I thought of sitting next to you, Miss Chariott. You

don't mind, do you?"

In fact, Valerie had already settled down comfortably. How could Coralie refuse?

Felicia had only met Valerie once. She only found out that they knew each other after seeing Valerie

sitting next to Coralie.

Logically speaking, they were not on good terms with each other, but now it seemed that they were

fine...

"No, I don't."

Although Coralie didn't have much appetite, she still lowered her head and took some bites.

She thought of leaving as soon as she finished her food.

"Miss Chariott, which department are you in?"

There was very not much variety of food on Valerie's plate. She only had salad and fruits but no main

dish. At first glance, it looked to be a very healthy and low calorie diet.

"The finance department."

Coralie answered briefly.

After all, Valerie's previous actions had served as caution for Coralie.

Coralie preferred Valerie to ignore her rather than sitting next to her and trying to be friends.

"Oh, I'm Skylar's secretary."

The reason Valerie came asking Coralie about her job was so that she could show off her position as

Skylar's secretary. She wanted to boast that she was closer to Skylar in front of Coralie.

It would be a lie to say that Coralie was unfazed by the fact. However, at the same time, she felt that

Valerie was indeed capable of taking up that particular position. Even if Valerie did not know Skylar at

all, she would have gotten the role easily.

"Well, I know."

"Don't blame Skylar too much. It was arranged by my father. In fact, I'm not willing to do that. After all,

we are childhood playmates. If he became my superior, we might grow distant in the future."

Valerie took a bite of the salad. She spoke to Coralie as if they were best friends and had no intention

of hiding anything.

"Miss Rae, you have no obligation to tell me these things."

Coralie lowered her eyes. She didn't have a good appetite before, but after listening to Valerie's words,

she felt sad of a sudden.

After that, she gathered her plates and left before she could finish her lunch.

After Coralie left the cafeteria and returned to the office, she felt that it was unlike her to act so

impulsively like just now.
