You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel Chapter 25

"Really? You're from our school?"

Coralie smiled as she posed the question.

"She is my cousin, Jamie George, a sophomore this year."

Skylar explained to Coralie, and then said to Jamie. "And this is Coralie."

"So you're my junior." When it came to college, the smile on Coralie became broader. "What are you majoring in?" she asked.

"I'm in the School of Finance, just like you, Coralie."

Jamie answered.

Coralie studied accounting during college. When she graduated, she was recruited by a good accounting firm because she was good at English. However, the office was located in the New District of the city, it was too far away from home. Howard hoped that she could take care of the family, so Coralie eventually gave up this job.

Due to the fact that she did not find a suitable job during graduation, she had no choice but to become an executive assistant.

"Coralie, I heard that you were always the top student of the class. It was a common thing for you to get a full scholarship. If you have time, please tutor me!" said Jamie.

Jamie had a wide range of hobbies, from Taekwondo to e-sports.

It was her mother's idea to study accounting. She did not like it at all.

"I might have forgotten about them," replied Coralie.

"It's okay, it's okay," Jamie said.

Jamie talked with Coralie about different topics related to her college life, which provided Coralie a moment of relief from this depressing environment. She started smiling more naturally.

Skylar chatted with his cousins around him for a while. He turned his head inadvertently and saw her sweet smile and relaxed look. The sad expression she had when talking to Elsa had gone.

He felt a little relieved now, and could not help but look at her for a few more times.

"Coralie, my cousin was peeking at you."

Jamie saw him looking at Coralie and teased them.

Coralie turned her head and saw Skylar staring straight at her.

She hastily touched her face, asking "Is there something on my face?"

"No." Skylar responded.

Skylar was caught on peeping Coralie, so he shifted his attention to somewhere else rather awkwardly.

"Hey, brother, are you shy?"

Jamie snickered.

Coralie looked at Skylar and could not tell if it was a coincidence or not. His ears were a little red. She tried to help him out by asking, "Did you drink too much? If you can't drink, drink less."

She was asking Skylar while trying to persuade herself.

Now, Coralie would always wonder if Skylar did like her.

Every time he stood up for her, Coralie would misunderstand.

However, she was afraid of misunderstanding. Such misunderstandings always made her seem to be looking forward to something.

"Let's go and give granny a toast," Skylar said.

Coralie tried to persuade him to drink less, but Skylar still picked up the glass and pulled her over in order to give a toast to Grandmother Holland.

Both of them held the wine and walked towards Grandmother Holland. Skylar said first, "Grandma, let's toast to you."

"We wish that granny will always be healthy and live a long prosperous life ."

Coralie congratulated her too.

"Thank you, Skye, thank you, Coralie." Grandmother Holland said.

Grandmother Holland took Coralie's hand and patted it. "My dear girl, I know you've been wronged by marrying into our family."

"No, granny, I'm not."

Coralie shook her head repeatedly.

Grandmother Holland was an elder. Coralie felt awkward for her to say so.
