You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 164

How far could she go?

In fact, Coralie Chariott herself didn't know. She lacked working experience and she had forgotten most

of her French.

However, her family background was the gap between her and Skylar Holland. If she could close the

gap by working hard, she would be very much willing to do so.

Anthony Holland sensed Coralie's hesitation and said, "I'll give you three days to think about it. Give

me an answer after three days."

......

After Anthony left, Coralie left the warehouse to look for someone to discuss this matter.

She did not have any friends who were an expert in career matters. Therefore, she had no choice but

to meet Xenia Lowell. It was not because Xenia knew much about developing one's career, but

because her family was running a company. Perhaps, she might know something about upskilling an

employee.

Xenia's new office was in a high-end office building in the city center, but she would get off work later

than usual.

Since Coralie had arrived ahead of schedule, she wandered around the shopping mall that was next to

Xenia's office.

When she saw a men's clothing store, Coralie remembered that Skylar's birthday was in a few days.

She didn't prepare any gifts for Skylar last year. At that time, she had promised to give him one this

year.

When Coralie walked in, a beautiful shop assistant came over and greeted her with a smile, "Welcome,

may I help you?"

“I'm just looking around."

In fact, Coralie didn't know what she wanted to buy for Skylar. She used to give gifts to Skylar when

they were in school. But now, she thought that those were just childish gifts.

In the past, she had only bought a few simple gifts for Howard Schultz due to her economic

circumstances.

Thinking about it, it seemed that she had never given a decent gift to a man.

The shop assistant followed Coralie around and introduced, "May I ask how old is the person you're

shopping for? Is he your husband? Father?"

Coralie thought for a moment and answered, "Husband..."

Even though she and Skylar had such an unclear relationship, they were still legally husband and wife.

After all, they hadn't obtained their divorce certificate yet.

"For your husband? Do you have a budget in mind? We sell belts, ties, wallets, and even key cases for

a cheaper option."

The shop assistant kept introducing their merchandise and then brought various products for Coralie to Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

choose from. The price varied from hundreds to thousands.

Nothing seemed to catch her eye.

Until her eyes fell on a pair of cufflinks that were on the counter.

"That is..."

Coralie pointed to the pair of cufflinks. She remembered that Skylar used cufflinks all the time, but the

styles were almost the same most of the time.

The pair of cufflinks were in his favorite shade of blue. They were rectangular, and there was a small

diamond in the corner. The style was simple and elegant.

"This is our classic cufflinks, and they are encrusted with sapphire."

"How much is it?"

In fact, that was what Coralie was most concerned about.

When she heard that it was encrusted with sapphire, her heart had already sunk.

"5,800 dollars for a pair."

"Is there any wiggle room on that price?"

The shop assistant put the pair of cufflinks in front of her, and Coralie liked them very much. She was

sure that Skylar would definitely appreciate them too.

However, Coralie gasped after hearing its price. Five thousand and eight hundred dollars. It cost more

than her one-month salary.

"I’m sorry, we aren't able to give a discount on this item. This pair of cufflinks is a limited edition. This is

the only pair in the store, and they have just arrived."

The shop assistant stood aside and explained.

Coralie reached into her bag and stroked the black card which Skylar had given to her. In fact, she had

not much money left. She could only buy it with the card.

At this moment, a middle-aged woman came over. She pointed to the pair of cufflinks and said, "Do you

want them? I'll take it if you don't want them."

Hearing this, Coralie immediately put the pair of cufflinks in front of herself and nodded animatedly, "I

want them."

Coralie had intended to look around the shop to see if there was anything else that she could afford,

but now, another customer was eyeing it. The more Coralie looked at it, the more she felt that the pair

of cufflinks were the perfect gift.

In addition, the shop assistant had just said that they were the only pair in the store. If it was gone, she

would definitely regret it.

"Are you sure?"

The shop assistant asked Coralie, who was hesitating just now. She wanted to confirm it because she

was afraid of losing the business.

Moreover, Coralie looked like an ordinary shopper. She didn't look like a person who would spend

around six thousand dollars just to buy a pair of cufflinks

"I'll take it. I'll pay for it now."

Coralie said as she took out the black card that Skylar had given to her.

"Okay, this way please."

After Coralie paid the bill, the shop assistant allowed Coralie to check the pair of cufflinks. Then, she

packed them.

Because it was a gift, the shop assistant kindly prepared a gift box for her, which looked more high-end

and classy.

......

After buying the gift, Coralie walked out with satisfaction. As soon as she went out, her phone rang.

She lowered her head and beamed at the name on the screen.

It was from Skylar.

"Skylar."

Coralie answered the phone cheerily.

"What happened? Why are you so happy?"

Skylar could tell that she was in a good mood just from her voice.

Coralie looked at the gift box in her hand. After thinking for a while, she said, "I won't tell you."

She wanted to give him a surprise. Even if she had to move to B City in the future, she hoped that

Skylar could think of her whenever he sees the gift.

Skylar did not probe into it but said, "Please come home tonight."

"Why?"

"Well, I just got discharged from the hospital. I want to see you."

Skylar didn't hide his yearning for Coralie. After all, they were a married couple by law. Even if it was

harmful to the development of the Holland group and could potentially jeopardize the relationship

between the Holland group and the Rae Group, there was no need to hide their relationship.

Coralie could feel her face blushing. She thought for a moment and said, "I promised Xenia to have

dinner with her tonight. Is it alright if I come over after that?"

In fact, Coralie wanted to talk to Skylar about the matter. She had planned to contact him after having

dinner with Xenia.

Well, she might as well agree since Skylar had said that he missed her.

"Okay, send me the address later. I'll pick you up once you're done with dinner."

"It's okay. Your injury hasn't healed yet."

Coralie felt bad when she thought of Skylar's injury.

However, the man was persistent, "Don't worry about it. Just send me the address later.

"Alright."

Coralie nodded with the gift in her arms. She knew Skylar well. He was a man of his words.

"Coralie! Sorry I'm late!"

Coralie had just hung up. When she arrived at the door of the shopping mall, she saw Xenia rushing

over with a Chanel bag in her hand.

When Xenia saw the shopping bag in Coralie's hand, she smiled and said, "Let me guess who you

bought this gift for."
