"What... what did they say?"
In fact, Coralie cared more about what Skylar had said. She was worried that Skylar would talk about
their relationship and make it seem like she was special. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Nothing much. They asked us to focus on our work and not do anything useless,"
Felicia said as she drank some water.
"Oh, that's good."
Looking at Coralie's relieved look, Felicia still asked out of curiosity, "That day, there was no signal on
your phone when you were at Village Y. President Holland came over and I told him that you went
there. I think President Holland really cares about you. What's your relationship with him?"
"We are... just friends? Probably..."
Coralie felt that their relationship was really hard to describe. Were they a couple? It didn't seem to be
the case.
Should she tell her that they were husband and wife? It was only for one year though.
However, Felicia thought that they were really lovers, like what everyone was saying.
Felicia was also a person who couldn't hide her feelings. Hearing what Coralie said, she sighed,
"Joanna said that President Holland and yourself are lovers. Looks like it is true."
"Of course not!"
"No? What about Valerie and him?"
"Well, our relationship is complicated." Coralie didn't know how to explain, but she still said, "I have a
relationship with Skylar, and he has no relationship with Valerie."
At least for now.
At present, she was the official wife, who could be replaced anytime soon.
......
When the two of them came out of the pantry, Joanna looked at Coralie. She had calmed down a lot.
However, not long after that, she threw a stack of documents toward Coralie and said, "Give this to
President Holland. He needs them for his meeting later."
"Me?"
It was not that Coralie didn't want to do this, but she had a relationship with Skylar, so it was always
strange when they met in the company. Therefore, she questioned this request instinctively.
"Mrs. Holland, who else will do this if not for you?" Joanna said grumpily.
After the lecture by President Holland and Director West, they didn't name her directly, but they said at
that time, "Don't feel that you can do whatever you want because you are related to someone of a
higher rank. A company is not a family and it is impossible to show favoritism to anyone."
In the whole finance department, everyone knew that Joanna was the only one who fitted this
description. Everyone else worked quietly and diligently.
"Okay."
Coralie took the stack of documents and went to the staff elevator.
The company's elevator was divided into the CEO's private elevator and the staff elevator. In fact,
Coralie had taken the president's elevator several times before. Later, Felicia had told her that she had
done something wrong.
When the staff elevator opened, she went up to the top floor.
She could see Skylar through the glass door, and his name was on it. Skylar was working in front of the
desk with a very focused expression.
Coralie looked into the office for a while as she stood outside. When she was about to push the door
open and pass him these documents, someone grabbed her hand. "Coralie, if you are here to pass the
documents, just give them to me directly. President Holland is busy now, and we will have a meeting
later. He has no time for you."
It was Lorraine who spoke.
Coralie turned around and saw that Lorraine was standing there. Lorraine was wearing a uniform, and
she had short hair. She had put on light makeup on her face, looking like a strong career woman.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Coralie was also a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, she agreed. As the chief secretary,
Lorraine was supposed to take over the documents of the meeting.
As she spoke, she handed over the stack of documents to Lorraine.
Lorraine browsed through the information casually and took a few steps back.
"If there's nothing else, I'll go first."
After Coralie finished speaking, she walked toward the elevator. She also noticed that Lorraine seemed
to be in charge of the entire top floor except for the president's office, and she wasn't very welcoming.
"Wait a minute, Coralie."
"Is there any problem with the documents?"
Lorraine stopped Coralie. Coralie thought that the documents that Joanna had given her had some
problems.
Once bitten, twice shy.
"It's not about the documents."
Lorraine took a few steps toward Coralie. She was a little taller than Coralie. In addition to this, she was
wearing high heels and she seemed confident. She had quite the commanding air.
"Then..."
"How old are you?"
"I am 25 years old..."
Coralie was puzzled. Why was Lorraine asking her this?
"25 years old. It's December now. Next year, you'll be 26, right? That's just a month away."
"Yes."
Listening to Lorraine's words, Coralie was also confused.
Was there anything wrong with her age?
"Twenty-five is a watershed for women, other people struggle to make themselves good before they
turn 25, and I've read your resume, the work you did before coming to Skyton Corporation was, simply
put, muddling through, what a waste of the good education you have."
Coralie was stunned by Lorraine's words.
"So?"
After saying so much, Coralie had no idea what Lorraine was trying to express.
Of course, she knew that she had wasted her time previously, so she wanted to work hard to make up
for it. Although she was in the hospital these few days, she had used the time to learn a foreign
language.
"I just wanted to remind you of this. I hope that you will invest more in yourself when you have the time.
Don't think of seducing men every day, or think of trying to find a long-term sponsor."
Coralie was dumbstruck.
"Also, President Holland's girlfriend is Miss Rae. She is also 25 years old. She is studying for a
master's degree at a famous university. I've seen her previously. She's much better than you in terms of
knowledge, upbringing, and family background. I hope you don't waste your time on a man who is out
of your league."
After listening to Lorraine's words, Coralie seemed to understand what she was trying to say.
"You made such a big detour just to say that I don't deserve Skylar?"
From the beginning of her speech, she had criticized her past achievements, put her down, and then
put Valerie on a pedestal. This was her intention.
"Yes."
Lorraine admitted to her intentions.
In fact, many people thought highly of Valerie and put themselves down. However, if Skylar were to
express his admiration for them, they would certainly not refuse him.
In this regard, Coralie suddenly asked out of curiosity, "I think, Secretary Thomas, you also like
President Holland, don't you? Since he doesn't like you, does it matter who President Holland is with? "
Lorraine was speechless.
In fact, Coralie was right. Whoever Skylar liked had nothing to do with her, including her sister Joanna.
However, why did the two sisters like to interfere in this matter?
In fact, while they were talking, Skylar's assistant, Jayson Lowell, was listening to them.
Initially, he didn't like getting involved with women's affairs. However, when he heard Coralie saying
this, causing Lorraine to be speechless after Coralie was insulted by her, he felt that Coralie was no
ordinary woman.
He quickly came and said, "These are the documents President Holland will be using in the meeting
later, right? Give them to me. I'll take them in."
