You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 18

His eyes met with her teary ones. Coralie Chariott bit her lip tightly, as if she was trying to hold back her

tears. However, a drop of tear still rolled down her face.

This teardrop made Skylar Holland feel inexplicably agitated.

"I'm sorry, I, I'm..."

"That's enough!" Skylar suddenly moved away. Coralie stumbled and almost fell down. "I am not

someone who forces himself on a woman."

He walked towards the bathroom as he spoke.

Not until after he had closed the bathroom door, turned on the shower and the sound of running water

came from the bathroom, had Coralie realized that Skylar really did not force himself on her.

By the time Skylar came out of the bathroom, Coralie had fallen asleep on the sofa.

He stood in front of her and looked down at her. Coralie was sleeping soundly. However, her delicate

face looked almost the same like before, but much thinner.

The more he looked at it, the impulse that had just been cooled down by the cold water was gradually

surging once again.

"......."

The next day.

When the morning sunshine came through the window, Coralie woke up.

She looked around her in a daze. She clearly remembered that she had slept on the sofa yesterday,

but now she was on the bed?

When Coralie finished washing up and walked to the living room, she was shocked.

Skylar, who was 6-foot tall, was lying on her two-seater sofa. His feet were sticking out of the sofa but

he was sleeping soundly.

Coralie went to the kitchen and took out the bacon, eggs, tomatoes, and baked beans. She made

breakfast for the both of them. When Skylar got up and finished washing up, she had already served

the breakfast onto the table.

"You made these?"

Skylar looked at the breakfast that was on the table and asked her.

"Yeah, well, I don't know if it fits your palate."

Coralie stood at the kitchen door and politely replied.

Skylar lowered his head and looked at the baked beans that was on the plate. His face immediately

turned pale. "I don't eat baked beans."

"Ah? Didn't you..." Before she finished her words, Coralie immediately shut up. "I'll remove it for you."

It would definitely destroy the mood if she were to talk about the past. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

While she was walking into the kitchen with the plate of big breakfast in her hands, she could hear

Skylar say, "I've never liked eating baked beans."

He didn't say it in the past because Coralie liked it very much.

However, their relationship was no longer the same as before, so there was no need for him to endure

it any longer.

Coralie carefully removed the baked beans and handed the plate back to Skylar.

"Just tell me what you dislike. I will remember it."

"I married you to bring good luck to my family, not for you to do the house chores. Don't be mistaken."

Coralie's words were stopped by him immediately.

She had to keep her mouth shut. But looking at the man who was eating a mouthful of eggs, she

couldn't help but to ask, "Is it good?"

Skylar raised his head to look at her and replied. "It's not bad."

In fact, he never had the habit of having breakfast. The last time he had breakfast was probably when

he was still in college. At that time, he was still with Coralie.

After the meal, Skylar put on his t-shirt. Seeing that Coralie was still wandering around in the house

and had no intention of going to work, he asked, "Aren't you going out for work?"

"Er, I'll go later."

Coralie was too embarrassed to say that she was now unemployed. She was worried that Skylar would

think that she had quit her job because she had money now.

"Oh."

Skylar didn't ask any more questions. He turned around and walked out of the door.

Coralie stood on the balcony and let out a breath of relief when she saw his luxury car drove away.

Last night was just a coincidence, but there might always be a time when she couldn't avoid it.

"I think I will be lonely all my life. I've been so lonely all my life..."

When Coralie finished washing the dishes and was cleaning up the house, her mobile phone rang.

It was Xenia Lowell.

"Coralie, what's the matter? I've have only taken a day off, and you quit your job and ran away?"

As soon as she picked up the phone, Xenia's explosive voice came from the other end.

"Alas, it's hard to explain."

Coralie told Xenia about all the weird things that happened that day. In short, she could not stay at the

company any longer.

"You really don't have to stay then. If you really can't find a job, you can come to my family's company.

The salary may not be high, but you won't be bullied."

Xenia's family owned a small business which she had mentioned to Coralie before.

"There's no need for that. I have sent out a lot job applications yesterday, I should be able to find a job

soon."

Coralie politely declined Xenia's offer. Although she needed a job, she did not want to trouble Xenia.

The two of them exchanged a few words of encouragement.

As soon as the call was hung up, another call came in. It was an unknown number.

"Hello."

Because she had sent out many applications recently , so every unknown number might be for an

interview, so her tone was exceptionally polite.

"Hello, is this Miss Coralie Chariott? We are calling from Forest Paper Company."

Sure enough, it was for an interview!

Coralie carefully decided the time and place of the interview with the employee who had called her.

The interview was scheduled for the next Wednesday, in the morning.

"......"

On Wednesday, Coralie put on her long-retired work suit, which she had bought when she graduated

from college. The only difference was that her chest had gotten a little bigger which made her looked

sexier in the shirt.

Coupled up with her stockings and a pair of black high heels, there was a sophisticated, mature aura

about her.

Coralie took the subway and got off at the station near the company. After walking for another ten

minutes, she finally arrived at the office building.

She walked into the elevator and pressed on the floor number. When the elevator door was about to

close...

"Wait!"

A woman who was in a business attire was running towards her.

Looking at her curly hair, red lips, and the strong perfume, Coralie could immediately recognize this

woman with only one glance.

It was the woman who was being very intimate with Skylar at the underground car park that night.

The woman got onto the elevator, glanced at the buttons on the lift, but did not press on it.

"Excuse me, which floor are you going to?"

Coralie asked kindly. She hoped that this woman had just forgotten to press the button.

Although Coralie had seen this woman's face that night, but this woman didn't see her.

"7th floor, it's already on."

The woman answered, but she didn't look at her when she spoke.

Unfortunately, they were going to the same floor.

There was only one company on the 7th floor. Could it be that...

"Are you here for an interview?"

The woman actually took the initiative to talk to Coralie.

"Yes."

Coralie answered.

At this time, the elevator had arrived at the 7th floor.

"Oh, I guess the company is really short on manpower. Good luck to you."

The woman swung her long hair and then went out of the elevator after saying this sentence with a

sarcastic smile on her face. Coralie then went out of the elevator after her.

They entered the same office one after another.
