You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 19

Coralie thought that she was only going to have a brief encounter with this woman.

But never did she expect that when she entered the interview room, there were two women sitting in

front of her. One of them was the woman from the elevator just now.

"Hello."

Coralie walked in gracefully, bowed to the two of them, and then sat down.

"Hello, my name is Rainie Smithson, from the Human Resources Department." Then she pointed to the

woman seated next to her and said, "This is the Director of the Human Resources Department, Corrine

Quincy."

Corrine Quincy, it turned out that her name was Corrine Quincy.

Coralie didn't remember it on purpose, but the name was immediately imprinted on Coralie's mind. It

was probably because their names sounded so similar. Coralie and Corrine.

"Why did you choose to come to our company?"

As a junior staff member, Rainie began the interview by asking some basic questions.

Coralie answered the questions in turn.

Corrine, who was sitting beside Rainie, did not speak at all. Instead, she repeatedly looked at Coralie's

resume.

This made Coralie a little nervous. She was worried that Corrine would find something unusual, such

as that she and Skylar were college alumni.

Rainie's was almost done with her questions. She politely asked Corrine, "Director Quincy, do you have

any other questions to ask her?"

"Your name is Coralie Chariott?"

Corrine asked directly.

"Yes."

Coralie was a little confused. Recently, she had gone to many interviews and this was one of the few

times that the interviewer would ask about her name.

"What's the relationship between you and Skylar Holland?"

Corrine came straight to the point.

Coralie didn't expect that Corrine would be this frank about it.

It was more like a declaration of war than an interview.

"He and I..."

Coralie was a little hesitant. She raised her head and looked at Corrine. Corrine was sitting in the

interviewer seat with her back straight and was looking down at her with a condescending look in her

eyes.

It was as if there was such a vast distance between them.

"Forget about it, you don't have to say it. The salary will be according to what you had indicated on your

application. You can start work next Monday." Corrine suddenly interrupted with a mocking smile.

"Judging from your resume, if we do not accept you, I'm afraid that there will be no other companies

that will hire you."

Rainie was also stunned.

In fact, Rainie had conducted the interview out of courtesy. She did not expect to hire Coralie at all.

Coralie's qualifications were really not in line with their recruitment standards. She did not have the

required working experience at all.

"Sister Corrine, what if the superiors ask about it?"

Rainie asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I know her. I'll handle it if they do." Corrine looked at Coralie and smiled at her. "You can go

now. Don't be late on Monday."

Every move, every expression, every action, and every smile of Corrine's told Coralie that Corrine was

showing off her status, appearance, and everything she had.

But Corrine had just said that the salary that they would be giving her would be according to the

amount she had written on her resume. Generally, companies would negotiate for a lower salary.

Therefore she had indicated 5000 dollars on her resume, which was higher than what she had

expected to get.

Unexpectedly, Corrine agreed to it immediately.

She really didn't want to give up this high salary just because of the politics between them.

Coralie left the interview room.

At the moment when she closed the door, she seemed to have heard Rainie saying to Corrine , "Sister

Corrine, I think the woman who you have just interviewed looks a little bit like you."

A thought flashed through Coralie's mind when she heard Rainie's words by accident.

A narcissistic thought.

But she quickly suppressed it, shook her head and warned herself, "Don't be silly. How could Skylar be

with her just because she looks like me?"

When Coralie was day dreaming, her phone rang. It was Skylar.

Perhaps telepathy between people did exist. For instance, when she had thought of him, he called her.

"Hello."

Coralie walked into the elevator and answered the phone.

"Grandmother is discharged from the hospital. There will be a family gathering in the evening. She

wants you to come."

Skylar's voice sounded as cold as ever, there was no emotion in it.

In Coralie's view, Skylar was the kind of person who would get annoyed even while talking to her. This

had completely overturned her previous thoughts.

"Got it."

"Don't go to work this afternoon. Give me your address and I'll have the driver pick you up to buy some

new clothes."

It was obvious that, in Skylar's eyes, Coralie's job was dispensable.

As long as he had something to do with her, Coralie had to push everything away just to accommodate

him.

However, this was the reality of their relationship.

"Okay."

Coralie's answer was always like this. She would not refuse, nor would she express her opinions. She

just abided by it.

She texted the address to Skylar.

When she got out of the building and got into the car, she realized that Skylar was already in the back

seat.

"Why are you here?"

Skylar had investigated Coralie's workplace before, but it was not here.

"Actually, I have already resigned from my previous workplace. For the past week, I have been looking

for a job, and this company had just agreed to hire me."

Coralie thought that since she had already been accepted to work here, it wouldn't matter for her to tell

Skylar about it. At least he wouldn't assume that she had quit her job because of the money she had

gotten from him.

After all, Skylar had already looked down on her. She didn't want be looked down even more.

Skylar was on his seat while Coralie was leaning towards him. This posture was showing him her

perfect curves.

Her figure was tightly wrapped in a black business-like skirt. Her white shirt was slightly wrinkled under

the black blazer, exposing her soft and fair chest.

"Besides buying dresses, we should also buy a professional suit for you."

Coralie's attire had really showed off her curves perfectly and exquisitely, it felt like she had planned for

it.

"This one is still good. I have only worn it a few times."

She didn't want to spend extra money on business suits. After all, she had not worn this one except for

the graduation interview. Moreover, she had only wore it several times recently.

It could still be considered as half-new. With her current financial status, it was really luxury to buy a

new set.

"Do you want to seduce other men with this outfit? Don't forget, you're Mrs. Holland now."

Skylar's voice was full of displeasure. He realized that he did not like Coralie wearing tight or revealing

clothes, which made him feel that his possession was being spied on. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"Mrs. Holland..." Coralie nodded. "You're right. We will just have to plan along the way."

She counted with her fingers. It had almost been a month since she and Skylar had gotten their

marriage certificate. That means that there were 11 months left to go.

"It seems that you are very eager to end this relationship with me as soon as possible?"

Skylar reached over and held her thin hands in his big palm, and exerted a little force.

He was also counting. He also knew that their relationship would end in 11 months.

Coralie's hand hurt as it was being held by him. Looking at his unhappy face, she asked in confusion,

"President Holland, you won't consider extending the contract when it ends, will you?"
