However, there was also a high- level employee inside the group chats, Hazel.
It was almost time to get off work. She took advantage of that time to look at E Country's stocks condition.
When Coralie went to the top floor by herself, she immediately noticed that the top floor's design layout had changed. Skylar's office was still in the same position, but there was an extra office beside it.
The floor was empty at that time.
Lorraine came out to greet Coralie, because she knew about her from the group chats, and said respectfully, "Mrs. Holland."
In the past, Lorraine was the kind of person who was most dissatisfied with the relationship between Coralie and Skylar. However, now that they were married, she could not be bothered anymore.
As she saw that Coralie was about to enter Skylar's office, she opened the door for her.
Hazel, who was in the office next to Skylar's, heard the door opening and thought that Skylar was back. She dimmed her computer, sorted out that day's files, and went to Skylar's office.
"Knock, knock, knock."
She knocked on the door.
When Coralie heard someone knocking on the door, she felt that it was inappropriate for her to say "come in". Therefore, she got up and opened the door.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw a woman in a suit with heavy makeup standing at the door.
"Who are you?"
Hazel saw Coralie and asked warily.
Hazel had never seen Coralie before. She was shocked to see her in Skylar's office.
"Miss Meyer, she is Mrs. Holland."
Lorraine poured a glass of water for Coralie. When she brought the water over to Coralie, she saw the situation and explained it to Hazel.
"Mrs. Holland?" Hazel sized up Coralie and scoffed, "Oh dear, is there someone else who was faster than me?"
Hazel had always thought that Valerie was the president's wife. She thought it was only a matter of time before Skylar broke up with her. She had waited for them to break up, and then she would make a move on him. However, she did not expect another woman to appear as the president's wife.
Lorraine felt the hostility but did not explain further. She put the cup on the table and left.
"Faster than you?"
Coralie could see the bitterness on Hazel's face when she knew who she was.
"Yes, tell me, how did you manage to become the president's wife?"
"Is there any misunderstanding between us?"
Coralie felt very uncomfortable after she heard Hazel's question.
After what Skylar and Coralie had been through, such a question was very upsetting.
"What, misunderstanding?"
Hazel was good at reading people. She could see that Coralie was not young; she was at least 30 years old. The clothes she wore were not expensive and the bags in her hands were not very valuable either. More importantly, she did not wear any valuable jewelry or accessories.
She had guessed Coralie's way of rising to the position of the president's wife, so she said, "You do not need to tell me, but I know your way of fishing for a rich husband."
"Fishing for a rich husband?"
