You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 35

"I, I have some matters to attend to back home."Coralie Chariott explained.

Coralie did not expect Bernard Miles to notice that she was missing from the party with more than a

hundred people in the company attending.

"What's the matter? Don't tell me that you're at home already?" Bernard asked.

"Didn't the company inform that the attendance for this banquet was voluntary..." Coralie defended

herself.

The memo of the company did mention that the attendance for the banquet was voluntary, but all her

colleagues went anyway.

"Never mind. Just come here quickly. Earlier, the big boss came to ask me why you did not show up.

He asked me to call you over."

Bernard's sounded very annoyed.

Originally, he was busy flattering the top management of Skyton Corporation's, he could not care less

about Carolie's absence.

But when his boss specially came over to ask where Coralie was, Bernard looked around but failed to

find her. That was when he called Coralie.

Coralie had no choice but to put on the clothes she had changed during the day, tied up her hair, and

rushed to the banquet hall.

The banquet began at half past six. By the time she arrived, it was almost half past seven.

There were more than a dozen tables set up in the banquet hall. Everyone had been sitting separately

and eating their own food. But after a few rounds of drink, everyone started walking around with the

wine glasses in hand, toasting each other.

However, only Skylar Holland's table was left alone. Everyone only dared to look at it from a distance,

and no one dared to approach it.

"Coralie, you finally came. What's wrong with you? Everyone else came but you!"

As soon as Bernard saw her walk in, he started complaining.

"Well, I'm sorry." Coralie responded.

Although Coralie was talking to him, her eyes could not help but glance at the round table at the front of

the banquet hall. Skylar was sitting there.

The person sitting next to him was none other than Corrine Quincy.

Many employee queued up while holding their wine glasses went to toast with Skylar and Corrine. It

looked like a wedding scene.

"Stop standing here, hurry up and go for a toast." Bernard urged.

At this time, Bernard had already poured a glass of wine and handed it to Coralie.

Coralie had no choice but to hold the wine glass and queue at the end.

As many people toasted with him, Skylar would not drink every time. He only clinked his glass and took

a small sip. After toasting with multiple people, his glass was still rather full.

"Sister Corrine, you hid it so well that you didn't tell us that your boyfriend is actually president of

Skyton Corporation." one colleague said.

"Yeah, he is so handsome and tall. We're so jealous of you." another colleague added.

"Yeah, such a good man. We won't meet anyone like him in our lifetime." said a female colleague.

When one of them started the toast, the rest of them quickly followed on to flatter him.

Round after round, everyone was repeating the same thing. About how jealous they were, how

excellent Skylar was, and how lucky Corrine was.

"Some people may not necessarily be yours even if you have met first," Corrine said. Her shrewd eyes

fell on Coralie , who was queuing at the end of the line, and she asked, "Isn't it? Coralie."

Coralie did not expect Corrine to walk to the end of the line to talk to her.

She pretended that she did not hear her. Holding her wine glass, she looked elsewhere aimlessly. She

did not want to talk back to her at all.

Corrine words were ignored. In order to suck up to her, her colleague deliberately continued, "What?

Does Coralie also know your boyfriend?"

"Well, not only do they know each other, but they were also college mates. Rumor has it that they once

had a good relationship at college."

As Corrine spoke, she held Skylar's arm as if to show off.

"Is that so? But Sister Corrine is much more beautiful than Coralie. Of course President Holland knows

who to choose." the colleague replied.

In fact, between Coralie and Corrine, the majority would actually say that Coralie was the prettier

among the two. The problem was that she was not good at dressing up, and she only applied a thin

layer of makeup. It was completely different from Corrine, who was used to putting on heavy makeup

especially around her eyes.

However, Corrine was a director and she was sitting next to Skylar Holland at this moment, so

everyone would naturally flatter her as well.

Hearing this, Corrine was more satisfied. She clinked glasses with several colleagues one by one and

sent them away.

Finally, it was Coralie's turn.

Skylar stood behind Corrine without saying a word, but his eyes were fixed on Coralie. He was

watching Coralie ignore Corrine's provocation.

"Coralie, you weren't here just now? What made you come?"

Corrine asked proudly.

"Well, I didn't want to come at first." Coralie said.

Coralie held a glass of wine, wanting to finish her toast and leave as soon as possible.

"Coralie, you better treat me with greater respect. If I get promoted one day, don't forget, if it weren't for

me, how could you, a woman who doesn't know anything, join our company?" Corrine said.

Skylar's silence at the beginning made Corrine think that he acquiesced.

She became bolder.

"So," Corrine affirmed.

"So don't forget my status. If I have the ability to let you come into the company, I also have the ability

to make you leave the company. However, if you perform better and come to me wagging your tail, I

won't be such a ruthless person. I can't watch you go out and starve to death." Corrine smirked.

Corrine's words were heard by the colleagues nearby, but no one dared to stand up for Coralie.

After all, Corrine was Skylar Holland's girlfriend. They were not afraid of offending Corrine. But if they

offended Skylar, they could really lose their jobs.

"Oh." Coralie answered, and slowly held the wine glass in front of Corrine. "Are you drinking it? If not

never mind."

"It depends on your attitude whether I drink it or not. If you don't have a good attitude, why should I?"

Corrine saw that Skylar did not say anything when she said that. She was convinced that he really

hated Coralie. "I won't drink it based on your current attitude. Why don't you kneel down? Hahahaha."

Corrine smiled, but no one else followed.

Everyone looked at Coralie sympathetically, thinking that Corrine was jealous just because Coralie and

Skylar were in the same college together.

Coralie was slightly taller than Corrine. She raised her glass calmly to a point that it was a little taller

than Corrine, and slowly tilted her hand...

The whole glass of red wine was poured onto Corrine's head.

The red liquid flowed down along Corrine's slightly reddish hair, dripping on her clothes and falling to

the ground.

Corrine did not react at all. Never in her dreams did she expect that Coralie would pour red wine on

her.

"How about this, are you satisfied with my attitude now?" Coralie snorted.

Coralie felt that one way or another she was getting fired, so she could not care less.

Skylar just stood by looking at Coralie. He had always known that Coralie would not allow herself to be

trampled by Corrine, and she would definitely fight back.

He wanted to see what Coralie would do.

He was not disappointed with how it had turned out.

"How dare you pour red wine all over me!" Corrine yelled.

Corrine was so angry that she trembled. She wanted to use the glass of wine on the table to pour it

back onto Coralie.

As soon as she raised her hand, her wrist was grabbed onto by a powerful force. What came next was

a man's ruthless command. "Enough! How much more trouble do you want to cause?" Skylar growled.

He then took the red wine glass from her hand and placed it on the table.

"Honey, she poured it on me first!" Corrine clarified.

At this time, Corrine intended on grabbing Skylar's arm, but was stopped by him. "You're dirty, don't

touch me." Skylar uttered.

The five words, like arrows, directly shot at Corrine. She had the feeling that she was sent off heaven

and straight towards hell.

Everyone looked over. The actions clearly showed Skylar's stance.

And whose side he was on.

"I..." Corrine did not expect that from Skylar, who had been silent just now. She said embarrassingly,

"Well, I'll go clean up first. Wait for me."

She was angry. She glared at Coralie and walked toward the bathroom.

"Then I'll go back too." Coralie said.

As soon as Coralie was about to move, she was pulled by the man from behind. He pulled her to the

the seat where Corrine was on previously.

"You stay." Skylar said. He then ordered the waiter, "Take all these tableware away and change a new

set."

"President Holland, this is your girlfriend's seat. I'm afraid it's not appropriate for me to sit here." said
