You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 41

"Wow, Coralie, you are amazing. You are wearing clothes from the AC brand."

This brand had its origin in A City. It was said that the designer was very young and is regarded as a

genius in the fashion industry.

"It was a knockoff that she bought online,"

A colleague who believed in Coralie Chariott's words said so.

In fact, from their perspective, they hoped that she wasn't wearing authentic clothes from this high-end

brand. They wanted to feel as if they were on an equal footing with Coralie. If her clothes were indeed

authentic, it would only prove that she was better than them.

Coralie's thought process was the exact opposite. She wanted to blend in with her colleagues. She did

not want to stand out, and she didn't want to be different from the rest. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

" A knockoff? You believe this bullsh*t?" Corrine Quincy walked over and looked at the perfect tailoring

of Coralie's outfit. She scrutinized the materials used to create her outfit, and she forced a smile. "This

is obviously authentic!" she said.

When the dress was first revealed to the public, she went to the retail store to have a look at it. It was

simple and unaffected in style, yet it was intricately tailored as well.

However, she couldn't afford this outfit. She cherished the hope that Skylar Holland would bring her to

buy it, but ever since Skylar had gotten married to Coralie, he didn't pay any attention to her at all.

Coralie's appearance was naturally exquisite. This outfit was the perfect match for Coralie, and this

caused Corrine to become infuriated. She was surprised at how suitable this outfit was for Coralie.

"This outfit is authentic?"

Some colleagues were suspicious.

"Look at this material, and look at the cutting and the lines of the outfit, along the lower area and the

waist area. Do you think any ordinary designer could be so detailed and replicate this?" Corrine

clenched her hands, and her eyes were filled with hatred. "Coralie, you're unbelievable. In just one

night, you managed to seduce my boyfriend."

With one sentence, Coralie was placed under the spotlight.

Everyone looked at her.

"I did not do such a thing!"

Coralie felt a little guilty because Corrine was indeed with Skylar before her, but she didn't know this at

that time.

"You didn't? Didn't you sit beside him the moment I left!"

"He pulled me and wouldn't let me go,"

Coralie explained.

"Impossible! How could he make a move on you when I was right there?"

"I was curious as well."

In fact, Corrine was always well-dressed and fashionable. At first glance, she was an attractive and

alluring woman. On the other hand, Coralie was the total opposite. Her temperament was so cold, as if

the iciness was etched on her face.

"That's true. I would choose Corrine as well."

A male colleague next to them heard their discussion and couldn't help interjecting.

Corrine's choices of clothing were usually quite revealing. With the clear sight of her cleavage, the men

couldn't help but fantasize about her.

"I agree, so you'd better go back and ask your boyfriend what's going on."

After Coralie finished speaking, she walked back to her seat.

She felt upset, deep down in her heart.

When she thought about what had happened yesterday and how Skylar had admitted that he had

mistaken her for Corrine this morning, she felt a sense of stifled frustration.

Corrine, on the other hand, left in fury.

In fact, she had a secret. The relationship she had with Skylar was not a real one. They were not a

couple, and they had a mutual agreement between them.

The terms and conditions of their agreement included the clause that Skylar would be able to meet with

her whenever he wanted her company. Every month, he would pay her 50,000 dollars.

She had always known that someone named "Coralie" had a special place in his heart. Although

Coralie had left him, she remained in his memory. He seemed obsessed with her, and he couldn't think

of anyone else.

However, Corrine didn't understand something. She wasn't sure if Skylar loved her or hated her.

Once, when Skylar was drunk, he strangled her while shouting Coralie's name. He exerted so much

strength that he almost choked her to death.

It was that moment when Corrine became aware that the person in Skylar's heart was named Coralie.

......

Skylar didn't go to work today. He didn't even change out of his pajamas at home. He drank the bowls

of porridge, which were prepared by Coralie, until he finished all of it.

He was clearly full, but he still couldn't help eating more.

As he thought of how she had blacklisted him and disappeared from his world, Skylar felt a lot of

resentment, but he couldn't bring himself to hate her.

"Baby, you're my only one ..."

Skylar's phone rang. He had forgotten how many years he had used this ringtone. Probably since

Coralie left him, he had been using this ringtone.

"Hello."

Skylar saw that it was Corrine who was calling him, yet he still answered the phone.

"Skylar, you bought clothes for Coralie and she was showing them off at the company today. Now,

everyone in the company knows that the two of you spent the night together."

As soon as Skylar picked up the phone, she said this immediately.

In fact, she was not sure whether Coralie and Skylar were together last night. When she was at the

office, she saw another set of clothes in Coralie's bag and she made a wild guess.

She was right on the money.

"Oh."

Skylar assumed that Coralie had gone to the company to brag about this. Unexpectedly, his mood did

not change drastically.

"'Oh? What do you mean by that? She is now throwing her weight around, using your name! She's not

focused on work matters. Do you think this is a positive thing? She's embarrassing you."

When Corrine heard Skylar's indifferent reply, she immediately added fuel to the fire.

She understood Skylar quite well. According to his character, he hated it when people threw their

weight around using his name, and not do their work properly.

Of course, he loathed it especially when women did this.

"I see."

There was still no obvious reaction from Skylar.

"Skylar, don't be angry. I just couldn't stand watching it and I called you. I don't have any other hidden

intentions."

When Corrine heard Skylar's reply, she had no choice but to apologize first.

After all, she knew that she was crossing the line.

"Well, our agreement is till the end of this year, isn't it?"

Skylar asked.

Corrine immediately froze, and her expression was stiff. She laughed dryly and said, "Skylar, what do

you mean by this? You can't be... I know that I'm wrong. I won't interfere in your affairs anymore."

Corrine definitely liked Skylar. After all, Skylar was handsome, rich, and he was a gentleman. Also, she

could earn 50,000 dollars easily every month just by accompanying him. How could she give up on him

so easily?

"I will decide on this matter, and your opinion isn't important in this case."

After Skylar said that, he hung up the phone mercilessly.

In the past, he thought that Corrine was very similar to Coralie. When Coralie reappeared in his life, he

found that they were not similar at all.

......

Looking at her phone, Corrine's initial state of depression turned into absolute anger!

She thought that she could provoke Skylar and cause him to be angry at Coralie, but it seemed that

she had done the opposite.

She also knew the reason why Skylar had refused to renew the contract with her. It was all because of

Coralie.

If only Coralie was gone...

Could it be...

Corrine pondered over this matter and a crazy idea suddenly appeared in her mind. She thought about

the constant 50,000 dollars a month, and the right to claim that she was Skylar's girlfriend, while being

envied by other women. She decided that she was willing to do anything to ensure the continuation of

this agreement.

Corrine searched for the company's upcoming schedule on the computer, and she looked for the

perfect opportunity to carry out her plan.

She found that in the near future, Skylar would be going to the company's Southern chemical plant for

inspection. The person-in-charge had knowingly added both Coralie and Corrine's names to the name

list of people going for this trip.
