You Complete Me novel (Skylar and Coralie) novel 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.
