You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie)

Chapter 12

"Your husband cheated on you?"

Shania Quell who was on her seat showed a look of disbelief on her face as she was drinking water.

"Believe it or not, it's up to you"

Coralie then returned to her seat. She understood that it would be useless to argue with a woman like

Shania, whose husband had cheated on her while she was going through her menopause. Moreover,

Shania always used to praise how incredible her son was but the truth was, her son had not visited her

even once in 2 years. That was why Coralie felt that it was not necessary at all to try to convince her.

"It's not like we've never seen your husband before. By the look of him, he looks like an honest man.

But you on the other hand, you're just pretending to be an innocent lady to seduce men."

Shania never liked Coralie all this while.

Although Coralie always kept a low profile and dressed modestly, she was still a pretty woman. All the

other male colleagues in the office had a good relationship with her, especially Director Lane who had

always taken good care of her which made Shania indignant.

"It seems like you knew him better than I do."

Coralie sneered.

Shania had only taken a look at Howard once from a distance when he came to the company to pick

Coralie up. She had only seen him once, and was already full of praises for Howard.

Sometimes, she would praise Howard for being handsome and sometimes she would praise Howard

for being so considerate of his wife. Her words were full of envy for Coralie. Now that they were

divorced, Shania was more willing to believe that she was right about him back then.

"I don't know him, but I know you. We have been colleagues for two years already. How could I not

know what kind of person you are?"

"So what kind of person am I?"

Since she had brought it up today, Coralie was done trying to be nice.

In the past, she had been tolerant towards Shania so that she could continue to work in this company.

But now, she did not want to feel wronged anymore.

"What kind of person? It's not like you hadn't done it before. You seduced Director Lane and even

Zayne from the office next door!"

"Director Lane? Zayne?"

Coralie didn't expect that Shania would say that. She had been working in the company for two years

and had never done anything that was excessive.

"Yes, you stayed in Director Lane's office for more than half an hour that day. Only you know what you

two were doing!"

That day, Director Lane's computer had broken down. He had asked Coralie to help him reboot the

computer system, that was why it took her more than half an hour.

Unexpectedly, her colleague had viewed this differently.

"I was working on his computer system. You can ask Director Lane to clarify on this matter."

"Ask? Do you think I can get the truth after you guys had done such a shameful thing?"

Shania's arms were crossed in front of her chest.

The other colleagues didn't say anything. After all, Shania was a senior in the company. Although they

didn't like her, they wouldn't dare to face her head-on.

If she didn't break out from silence, she would die in silence.

Coralie took a deep breath and finally said, "Aunty Quell, is it because that you haven't had sex with

your husband in a long time, so you'll naturally link to what everyone else's doing with sex?"

"Puff."

Some of the colleagues laughed mischievously, but they immediately restrained themselves.

Shania's face turned green. This was her trigger point.

Everyone knew that her husband was having an affair. He never came home at night and wouldn't

even talk to her.

She had been complaining about it in the company every day.

"You be careful! Coralie Chariott!"

Shania stormed out of the office angrily.

At the same time,some of Coralie's colleagues came to comfort her. "Carolie, why did you have to do

that? You have been enduring for so long and there are still two years left until her retirement."

Coralie looked up and saw that it was Xenia Lowell who entered the company at the same time as her.

It was she who couldn't hold back her laughter just now.

"I was the one who got cheated on, and yet she said that. I really can't stand it."

Coralie couldn't help but to complain.

Coralie thought that she had been so nice to Howard's mother for so many years, but in turn she had

made up a rumor that Coralie had cheated on Howard to slander her. Coralie just couldn't bear it

anymore.

"All right, don't be angry. Let's go for a drink tonight."

Xenia patted Coralie on the shoulder.

In this company, only the two of them could really get along with each other.

"Okay."

Coralie had been busy taking care of her mother and brother for the past few days so it had been a

long time since she had eaten a normal meal. After considering for a while, she agreed to Xenia's

invitation.

......

Xenia was different from Coralie. She was the cousin of the boss of this company. She came to work

just to pass time. However, she had always kept a low-profile and only Coralie knew about her

relationship with the boss.

They went to dinner at a steakhouse in the shopping mall located across the office. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

In addition to their meals, they also ordered two glasses of wine for themselves.

Coralie's alcohol tolerance was terrible, and a glass of wine was probably her limit. She remembered

that when she was in college, she got drunk once, and woke up butt naked on the bed of a hotel.

The most embarrassing thing that had happened that time was that she was on her period that day and

she unknowingly stained the hotel's sheets.

From then on, Coralie would only drink a glass of wine at most.

"Carolie, no offence but the news about Director Lane and you was already widely spread around the

company."

"What?"

Coralie looked at Xenia in disbelief. She had always done her part and never did anything

controversial. She had never thought that there would be such a rumor about her going around behind

her back.

"It's not you. Director Lane has always wanted to take advantage of you, but you've never responded to

his actions. It seems that someone in the company has been maliciously spreading the rumors about

you recently, but I don't think that person is Shania."

Xenia told her in a mysterious tone.

She had always wanted to find an opportunity to tell Coralie, but recently, Coralie was so busy with her

family's affairs that she would not stay in the office for more than a minute once she had gotten off

work.

"Not Shania? Who else could I have provoked?"

Coralie picked up a piece of beef and thought about it while eating.

She always thought that she had a good relationship with everyone at work, but she didn't expect that

someone would plot against her.

"Well, Director Lane is nothing but that's not the case for his wife. It's not like you have not seen her

before. She's a total control freak. If the rumor gets to her, she'll take it seriously and you'll be in big

trouble."

"Oh my god, I must keep a distance from Director Lane then."

Coralie stuck out her tongue. The two of them clinked glasses and laughed. Neither of them took this

matter seriously.

After dinner, Coralie was considering whether to visit her mother and Wayne at the hospital or not.

Although they had asked Coralie not to come every day, she was still worried about them.

Xenia had a car and volunteered to send Coralie to the hospital.

Only Xenia knew about what had happened to Coralie's family.

As soon as they arrived at the car park, Xenia's eyes were fixated on a car.

"Coralie, Coralie, look! The latest version of Aston Martin!"

Coralie looked over and saw a sapphire blue sports car.

Her heart skipped a beat because she thought of the sapphire blue sports car that Skylar owned back

in college. She couldn't remember what was the brand of the car but she only remembered that Skylar

had told her that time that he liked this color and would only buy cars of this color.

"Yes."

Coralie answered casually. It was ridiculous when she came to think of it. Why did she automatically

think of Skylar?

Xenia's car was parked in front of the sapphire blue sports car. As soon as they got in the car, the

sports car flashed its headlights on them twice.

The owner of the car started the engine.

"The car owner is here. I want to see what the owner of such a cool car looks like."

Xenia craned her neck.

A man and a woman appeared in sight. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was

enchanting.

Coralie looked over to that direction and felt a little nervous.

The man who was approaching was Skylar, and beside him was a woman with her arms around his

waist. They looked like they were really intimate at that moment.
